Restaurants near Wilshire Branch Library

Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

Our waiter was amazing and the food was spectacular. Definitely get the crispy duck and Nancy’s Caesar Salad.

quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles

M&F Grill is always outstanding. The food is delicious and always prepared perfectly. The service is above and beyond any other restaurant. An absolute fabulous dining experience always.

We went during the day during winter break. Wait time was no more than 5 minutes for be seated and to get out drinks after we ordered. Decor and menu items were well done in line with the Arcane theme. We're planning on coming back if we have time before the event is over.
