Best Lunch Restaurants in Culver City

As a vegan, I was blown away by the amount of flavors from the from the queso dip to the squash tacos everything was beyond delicious and they have a side of fried oyster mushrooms that taste like fried chicken. The whole thing was just amazing and we sat out on the patio. It was so charming and beautiful heaters everywhere so we were toasty warm and there was lots of green and lots of flowers and there was blankets. The whole thing was just phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back

Another spectacular meal at Gjelina. I've made it my mission to work my way through the menu, and last night I tried the orecchiette with beef cheek bolognese, Japanese turnip and coal-roasted cabbage - all excellent. Special props to the orecchiette. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich and savory and the addition of the dollop of ricotta bound all the elements together beautifully. Loved it.

We enjoyed every aspect of our experience at The Ivy. The owner was actually there when we were and she was spectacular! The staff was very kind and helpful. The food is worth every cent and incredibly fresh. The freshcolorful flowers, custom pottery, art and atmosphere are such a staple in Los Angeles and truly one not to miss! You can tell the love put into the space and that exists with the staff.

This is a great neighborhood hidden gem - great service, wonderful ambiance, really nice for getting together with friends.

We have been enjoying Il Fornaio for many years. When we were renovating our kitchen, we made almost a daily visit. Same staff who we have seen for years always have a friendly greeting. Our waiter gave an honest opinion about specific menu items (instead of saying everything was great). If you are in Beverly Hills for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we highly recommend Il Fornaio. Our only criticism, they used to provide a variety of in-house baked breads. Evidently when they expanded the back room, they must have removed their bread oven. Now they charge for a basic french bread.
