POV is a fusion of diverse backgrounds and a shared passion. Their transition from Venice Beach teenagers to restaurant owners is driven by their friendship and dedication to culinary excellence. At POV, they take pride in creating homemade ingredients, most notably their signature pepperoni aged for 100 days. From oak-smoked mozzarella to freshly squeezed limeade, every detail is a labor of love that reflects their respect for the craft and commitment to providing extraordinary flavors.***IMPORTANT NOTE***When you arrive for your reservation, you will proceed to the counter to order your food.

    My duck two ways was a knockout; even the leftovers were sublime. The Mediterranean Seabass was excellent. The wines by the glass were well chosen and delicious. It’s not a great bargain, but what is nowadays

    My husband and I had Christmas Day breakfast there as it was included as a special for staying the night at the Langham. Customer service was outstanding as everyone was attentive and courteous. The food was good and hit the spot for breakfast. I did wish there was more combination plates so that the items I wanted didn't need to be added. There was an all you can eat brunch option but I was afraid I couldn't eat that much and it wasn't worth the $59 for me. Very much a family atmosphere in the restaurant which was fine. The view of the hotel and pool was nice and the restaurant was beautiful as everything at the Langham was just amazing. We would definitely come back to have a nice meal.

    Loved the Christmas Eve tasting. Each dish was the star of its own act....I really couldn't pick out a favorite. I love all the flavors and the architecture is so captivating. I felt transported to a different world for one night for a very special foodie experience. Thank you for making this so special for me and my family.

    By far my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles and it didn’t disappoint once again! My visiting mother from Florida thoroughly enjoyed it and the food, service, and ambience could not have been any better, especially for a Christmas Eve dinner. Great value for the quality!
