Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Pacific Palisades

Excellent, world class cuisine. Early days and polish/finesse needed for some service staff.

The Penthouse offers a very nice breakfast menu. The omelette are big, the burrito is delicious, the fruit was very fresh. The restaurant was very busy, but our server was attentive and provided everything we asked for. The hostess welcomed us warmly and we got a window table just like we requested. The Penthouse provides beautiful views of Santa Monica and, if you are lucky enough to get a window table that provides a view of the ocean, the view is spectacular.

Food was good. The truffle egg with brioche was my absolute favorite. We ordered a basket of rolls and they must have asked us 10 times if we were finished with them. Our table was large enough for our 4 rolls. Someone came to our table to inform us we were ordering too much food… weird. Our sever was excellent. Atmosphere was relaxed and classy. I felt a little rushed for a Michelin but I did like that the food came out in a timely manner.

The entire experience was incredible. There were five tables of two that were nicely spaced apart. There was an open kitchen so we could see the four chefs while they prepared each course. The three servers and Sommelier were top-notch. We loved the ambience and the food was amazing. One of the best Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to. 

My third time there, the service is always good but tonight our waiter appeared like magic whenever we needed something and the food was super good as always.
