Restaurants près de Hammer Museum

We enjoyed each course--light, delicious and satisfying. The onion soup was just right, the polenta with mussels was delightful and the pasta dishes were memorable variations on familiar standbys.

Found this excellent location choice in Westwood where we haven't explored in a couple years. We found Wolfsen for the New American cuisine and pretty good rating. The place was pretty full and quite a few private holiday events happening but we were seated right away. The server began very strong with a welcoming attitude and helpful menu's suggestions. We ordered a sashimi appetizer and a grilled fish main course, my wife ordered an heirloom tomato salad with buratta as a main course. The starter was their salmon sashimi wrapping a crab and vegetable inside fill topped with a light green curry sauce. Very tasty. Unfortunate moment we began the appetizer, the heirloom salad and my main course showed up. The servers were clueless and our waiter very busy with too many other tables. Long story short, the meal ended up delicious and the manager Issac came over to apologize. He was very nice and offered us a drink on the house. Sharing that Wolfsen is already two years old, they're finding their clientel and going strong. With all respect my recommendation is that the restaurant needs to tighten un their training for wait staff and kitchen operations. We will give Wolfsen another go soon and see if they have improved.

It was our first experience at House of Meatballs and we will be back again soon. We recommend the calamari and I loved the eggplant balls. Warm, friendly ambience.

We have been to all of the their restaurants. We thought the food was even better in Westwood, and a wonderful addition to Westwood. We brought home our leftovers and ate them at home the next day, still delicious.

Had a great brunch prior to attending a play at the Geffen nearby. Great service by our waiter Danny.
