"This was my first time at the Getty. We were there celebrating my graduation from UCLA and t couldn't have Ren more perfect. iAds my reservation online with no problem. We showed up and were seated right away. After lunch, which was really good, we wandered around looking at the scenery and artwork. It was a pretty perfect day!"

"There's not a more inspired menu, skilled chef, delightful ambiance, or magnificent view in town! We have dined here as a couple, with family, and have brought friends from out of town knowing we can always count on fine cuisine, excellent service and warm hospitality at reasonable prices. The Restaurant at the Getty is an experience you don't want to miss!"

"I ate with three friends at the Getty Restaurant for my birthday lunch and we had a very enjoyable time. The waiter was attentive, the food excellent and the view spectacular. We spent several hours enjoying each others company and talking about the exhibits in the museum. It is well worth the price and made my special occasion that much more special."

"I gave my mother "Brunch at the Getty" for Mother's Day. Although we did not go on Mother's Day, we did go on a Sunday and had a fabulous brunch. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The restaurant is very nice and we have never been disappointed with our meals there. I definitely recommend the Restaurant at the Getty Center, but one usually needs to make a reservation, especially if you plan to go on a weekend."

"Our waitress Christie was outstanding. It has been a long time since we have had such great service.
The chef did an outstanding job with the Halibut by not putting a sauce on the top, but using the side of the plate for seasonings.

"A nice setting, good selection of food. The wait person was pleasant,
but obviously not professional. Don't bring the dessert menu while we're in the middle
of our meal and when you say "I'll take the bill whenever you're ready", don't attempt to take it
while I'm still enjoying my lunch and haven't put a credit card into the envelope.

"Our Getty Center restaurant was lovely. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We ordered 2 appetizers each and felt quite satisfied. They even allowed us to linger over coffee and delicious "small bites" desserts well beyond their closing time! The dishes (a special soup - potato puree with touches of crab and albacore tataki) were well prepared and beautifully presented. They were appetizers but - especially the soup - servings were more than I would have expected from the price and appetizer designation. The tables are far enough apart so that you aren't overwhelmed with other tables' noise and the view of the mountains is spectacular. The restaurant adds a special touch to a day at the Getty Center."

"Restaurant at the Getty Center really offers so much: excellent, well prepared food, helpful, considerate service, an overall delightful ambiance with a great view and not too noisy. We also appreciate not having tables too close so that we can enjoy our conversation privately. AND...You are able to spend time at the Getty before and after you've dined. WOW!"

"In summary, highly over rated but poor SERVICE. Was celebrating my mom's birthday, lunch for 4, spent $180 for less than perfect meal & service. Waiter was bothered by me when I reminded him that we were celebrating my mom's birthday. We had to wait for our bill literally 15 minutes just to get the bill.
Getty museum and ambiance is so perfect.. yet, restaurant exp. was dreadful.
The whole experience of my mom's birthday celebration is overshadowed by our experience at the Restaurant.
Getty made it so right for the Arts, architecture and garden, why not perfecting the restaurants to keep up with Getty's perfection.

The service was truly amazing the staff was so attentive and friendly. There was four in our party we all ordered something different and found the food quite tasty. Love the bread baskets that kept coming around."

"Do not let the tram ride discourage you. This place is amazing and totally worth visiting even if you did not spend the day at the Getty museum checking out exhibits. The food is among the best I've ever had and the views create an ambiance that's hard to match. The service was perfect. They space out courses so you don't feel rushed, you can enjoy your food and have a wonderful experience. It's not a cheap place but worth every penny."

"We had the crab cake and heirloom salad as appetizers. The crab cake was nothing special and the tomato salad could have featured riper tomatoes. One of us had the Bouillabaisse and the other the sea scallops. Both entrees were too salty. The presentation of all plates was very nice, but the food did not taste as good as it looked."

"The Restaurant at the Getty Center has beautiful views in most directions, with many floor-to-ceiling glass windows (ask for a table at a window; there are tables in the middle of the room, as well). The food is well-prepared, and the service is attentive and professional. Good selection of wines (including several offered by the glass), beers and mixed drinks. The noise level is low enough so that conversation is easy, without yelling. Luncheon is expensive.
The magnificent Getty Museum is situated on top of a mountain, so you must arrive at the parking area at least 30 minutes before your restaurant reservation, so you have time to find a parking space and take the scenic tram ride from the parking area to the museum & restaurant."

"We took our parents to lunch here to celebrate a special event. It was our first experience dining in the restaurant. The view was simply spectacular the day we chose to come to the museum. Our waiter was extremely friendly, attentive and helpful with menu selections. The menu was light, refreshing, interesting flavor combinations. We will definitely come back to visit again."

"To be able to relax and enjoy the views offered while exploring the museum was truly a treat. We found the restaurant's style in perfect harmony with the rest of the Getty and enjoyed the view and comfortable seating immensely. I was amazed by the amount of tables that our server was handling and though he was quite professional and didn't miss a beat, I could tell that he was distracted and pushed to the limits of his skills. The food was lovely, but we all agreed that it lacked seasoning. Having dined two days ago, we sit here struggling to remember what we ordered...but I can still recall the view. It would not have taken much for this to be a perfect experience, just a little more substance vs, style."

"I was so shocked this restaurant was as great as the art. This gem is an unexpected foodies delight. Great food and wine, great menu, great service and great view. Wish it was open at night more often. This has become my "go to place" to take out of towners for a view and taste of the best of L.A."

"The Restaurant at Getty Center was really wonderful. We had reservations on Mothers Day and we were seated right away in a beautiful table. The entire restaurant has amazing views. The menu was limited but every item was fabulous sounding. The three of us each had a different meal and each one was outstanding. The service was great and the entire experience was everything I had hoped for my Mothers Day."

"I try to eat at the Restaurant at the Getty Center whenever I go to the museum. It's beautiful, the food is exquisitely prepared, and the service is always fantastic. If you can eat outside, I recommend it: the views are incredible, and there's almost always a pleasant breeze that makes even a hot day very comfortable. I've tried items from all over the menu: salads, entrees appetizers, desserts and I'm always pleased. Without a doubt, this is the best restaurant of any museum eatery I've tried and it's one of my favorite places to eat."

"Had lunch on Sat while visiting the Getty. The restaurant was full, a reservation is a must. The short ribs were excellent, plenty to eat. The Halibut was very good. The strawberry tart is highly recommended for dessert."

"The musuem is considered the attraction but dont miss the chance
to experience the Restaurant at the Getty.
Wonderful views,great food and an outstanding staff will make your dining experience a special occasion.
The wine list is very good and the dessert selection was a real treat for those with a sweet tooth.
Recommended for all occasions but you check it out even if you just hungry and need a moment
before getting back to the Museum.
I recommend making a reservation and suggest trying to get an outdoor seating.

"Superb! We dined with friends from the Bordeaux region in France and they loved every morsel. It was a great meal, well balanced, a pleasant environment for conversation, and excellent service. You don't find many restaurants like this. I am looking forward to my return. Bonn appetit."

"I had been here before and was looking forward to it. But it was very disappointing and I won't go back. There are too many truly good restaurants in LA. The bread was stale. They would not open a bottle of wine that a friend brought despite the fact that there is a limited wine list. We were willing to pay corkage but they simply do not allow this?? Never heard of this happening. The food came and my friend had the halibut which was quite nice. I had the ravioli which had nice flavors but was overcooked, I could barely cut it with a fork & knife. Just not the restaurant it use to be!"

"The setting and food were both excellent. Service is wonderful. Allow at least 15 minutes to park and take the tram up to the restaurant. Definitely a place to go when you have time for leisurely eating and want an elegant restaurant and beautiful view.
The day we were there, it was windy and a bit chilly in the shade. When the weather warms up, it has a beautiful outdoor space, with a view to the ocean. Great place for a party or wedding.

"This is a beautiful restaurant, open and airy. We've dined there before, and usually have been happy, but this time quality appeared to be slipping. The 'skillet' (an egg dish) was tasteless, the duck confit was misconceived and poorly executed, and the entree selection was very limited. The positive side was the delicious appetizers (recommend the salmon and the cheese plate), good selection of wines by the glass (the Au Bon Climat Pinot is outstanding) and friendly, attentive service. I am giving my recommendation based on past experiences, hoping this visit was an aberration."

"I was dining alone before a film screening at the museum. I ordered a $141.00 bottle of Pinot Noir and the lamb entree. The side of cous-cous with underwashed chard was sandy and inedible.My server, who was sympathetic, said he would inform the chef and the manager.I asked for another side and did not send my plate back because I had eaten 2 of the 3 chops and had a film to attend. I was brought a bowl of plain, unseasoned cous-cous (no chard). The manager did not come to my table until I was about to leave and I CALLED HIM OVER. He seemed unconcerned with my experience and did not offer a reduction in my bill. I will never eat there again and I will tell everyone I know."
