Restaurants near Mcmanus Park

I am so glad that José Andrés has opened this restaurant in Culver City. I love this kind of food and we found the preparation and the flavors to be exceptional. We were invited to try the wine before making a final choice. The babaganoush was exquisite, especially with the bread we were served. The scallops and black cod were perfectly prepared and tender. The lamb kabob with its pickled peppers and onions was special also. And those Brussel sprouts that everyone raves about are not to be missed! The waiters were knowledgeable and provided all kinds of detail. We were very satisfied with this amount of food. We would have loved to have tried the olive oil cake, but there was no room--next time! We will return.

My family and I have dined at Steak 48 many times, always a great experience until last night. The food was phenomenal!!! Zero complaints about that. Our server Jonathan was another story. Not very attentive, although we saw him going above and beyond at other tables in our area. We got tired of him passing by our table without stopping, so we decided to flag HIM down just to ask for a refill on drinks. We were the only black guests in that area and can’t help but wonder if his lack of attentiveness and customer service were racially charged. Anyway, the waiter’s assistant Kevin was great and made up for where Jonathan lacked! So we gave him the bigger tip! Suffice it to say, the service we received tonight will NOT hinder us from returning to this establishment. Thank you

We really enjoyed the beef bourguignon and risotto. We also had the crepe suzette for dessert. The server was very friendly, the tables are placed far enough apart that we had privacy. The space has a cozy vibe. The drinks were also very good.

It was everything I would wish for in a nice chill but classy restaurant. It’s sheik yet laid back . It’s what you make it but no matter what food is delicious , drinks are delicious and the service is welcoming. Beautiful people and families everywhere ! Family friendly and date vibes as well .

Running out of polenta was sad for my birthday selection -however the foods we did get were excellent. Thank you for celebrating my birthday with a sweet treat! Will return!
