Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Culver City

A.O.C. is a Los Angeles treasure! Their Lucques Sunday Supper was the most luxuriously delicious comfort food... I'm going to say it... on the PLANET! Decadent, thoughtful, scrumptious. And their mocktail game is so strong, not to mention their astute knowledge and honoring of wine. Brittany and Laura's hospitality were so kind and attentive. You can't achieve higher! Please treat yourself to a visit to A.O.C. and you'll join the club of why I am (like so many Los Angelenos) such a fan of Chef Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne.

I’ve been to Gjelina several times and I have to rave about the quality of the vegetables and food has always been consistent. Keeps me Coming back.

LAVO is one of the best restaurants you can dine at. It is truly the only place where I can say price matches what they have to offer. It is the only place in LA that is consistently good. Spicy calbrese pizza 12/10. Lobster pasta 12/10. Steak 12/10. Can not get enough! MUST VISIT

RoofTop by JG elevated our Thanksgiving experience to new heights—literally and figuratively. Their specially curated Thanksgiving course was a feast for both the eyes and the palate, set against the stunning panoramic views of Beverly Hills. The multi-course menu was thoughtfully crafted, blending traditional Thanksgiving flavors with a sophisticated, modern twist. The roasted turkey was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, accompanied by rich and creamy mashed potatoes, a delightful cranberry relish, and a velvety gravy that tied it all together beautifully. The pumpkin soup starter was a warm, comforting embrace, setting the tone for the meal. For dessert, the pecan tart was a standout, with its buttery crust and caramelized filling—a perfect ending to the feast. The staff ensured that the evening felt special, delivering impeccable service with warmth and attentiveness. Each course was perfectly timed, and the team was happy to accommodate dietary preferences without missing a beat. The ambiance on Thanksgiving night was magical, with the soft glow of city lights in the background and a lively yet intimate atmosphere. The combination of exceptional food, stunning views, and attentive service made this holiday dinner unforgettable.

My wife and I have been going to MEET in Paris for years. Last night's meal was the best we've ever had there. My steak was tender and delicious and all the food was excellent.
