Flawless Huevos Rancheros with black beans and toasty tortilla disks
Liz L.

Just like my hometown of NYC, Los Angeles is blessed with an overabundance of wonderul hotels, many of which have first class restaurants. And some are tucked away on charming canopied side streets so you would have to know where they are to take advantage of them. Last year I had been compiling lists of places that might serve holiday meals when other venues are closed and Cavatina was on the list. However, I thought it might be on Sunset Blvd (guess I wasn't paying attention) and thought the parking would be a nightmare, so I tabled it. Well, I revisited my list and found that it is on a side street, yes in West Hollywood, but no, not on Sunset! Joy! Two-hour parking can be found in various spots surrounding the Marquis with maybe ten minutes of searching, so that was a breeze. I will talk about the hotel separately. For now, I was bowled over at how charming and pretty the restaurant is. It truly emblemizes its name for a short and simple aria. My pictures will illustrate the environment -- literally awash in water features and surrounded by trees and flowers. There are hummingbirds (and the largest coi I have ever seen) everywhere and the place to be is on the covered patio where you can absorb the natural vibe while having excellent food. If it is this verdant in December, imagine April! Now, my second concern was whether or not I would find enough vegetarian dishes and was pleased to see quite a number of possibilities on the menu (see my photos). Everything was perfect, each item. Our servers Theo, Mario, and Robin were the soul of efficiency and cheer. They attended to us promptly, understood our choices, and brought them out in no time. The portions were so generous that we took half of it home and couldn't take advantage of what I am sure was a superior dessert array. That means we have to go back and I am looking forward to it. This is a hidden Hollywood treasure. If you are in the area, do visit during their long hours. You will thank me!

The food here was filling, rich, and delicious. As much as I loved my main, the banana tart was really the star of the show! I had great service as well. I was there in a largish group and our waiter was really on top of everything. Vibes were also great!

We tried the Chef's Tasting Menu and were delighted by the experience. The staff were very welcoming and seemingly excited for us to enjoy the meal. The outside dining was quaint and protected from the elements so we never worried about getting cold. Each course was timed to give us an opportunity to savor it thoroughly. The chef even came out to visit with us for a bit.

Cavatina is in a park like setting in the Sunset Marquis Hotel. It is an open patio looking out to this tranquil space. Great service with an interesting menu on the high side. I ordered the GRILLED BLUE PRAWN SALAD mango, peppers, green curry goddess, peanuts. This was delicious. My client ordered the Detroit square pizza which he enjoyed. A relaxing chill setting and don't forget to check out the Morrison Hotel Gallery.

This dessert was amazing!

We had both dinner and breakfast at Cavatina when we stayed at the Sunset Marquis. Walking through the tree-lined path to the restaurant felt like we walking into a jungle. It felt tropical and isolated. The restaurant is surrounded by both a waterfall and flowing water right next to the seated area. It's an open-air plan. There are space heaters when it gets chilly out. It is so beautiful and peaceful! It doesn't feel like you're in L.A. What an oasis in the city! The staff were all very friendly from the host to the server. They engaged us in conversation and were so attentive. The food was amazing! We enjoyed both meals. Everything was delicious from the cocktails to the appetizers, entrees and dessert. The Chocolate Espresso Daquoise dessert was a stand-out. The Sunset Spread was a huge appetizer - definitely to share! I lived in L.A. for many years and never knew about this place. I'm grateful I do now. I can't wait to return.

Dined at Cavatina with a large group and it was fantastic! The squid ink pasta was rich and flavorful, and the service handled our party effortlessly. Great atmosphere and perfect for group gatherings--highly recommend!

Ambiance is gorgeous and very relaxing. The open-faced lox toast and french toast were divine, and super fresh! Service on a Saturday brunch time was a little slow but food and ambiance definitely made up for it!

Above and beyond in every way! We came to Cavantina as a group of ten to celebrate a birthday, and they absolutely delivered. From start to finish, the service was incredible. They were so accommodating, even creating a custom, off-menu dessert just for the birthday boy, complementary, at that! When my partner's original order wasn't available, they went out of their way to make him a special off-menu dish instead, which he loved. On top of that, they stayed open an hour later than usual so we could keep the celebration going, something you just don't see much anymore. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service genuinely went above and beyond. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we'll be back. Highly recommend!

Continental Breakfast

The atmosphere is very serene. As I was staying on property I arrived for an early breakfast when the air is still crisp. I had the perfect view of humming birds sipping nectar from the blooms of a charming ancient tree. The sound of the waterfall was tranquil and relaxing. I felt very comfortable there as a solo traveler although there were many groups there were also a good number of solo diners. The first day I ordered the Birria Benedict which is served with sopes vs trad English muffin which made for a unique textural experience. I also enjoyed the wellness drinks like the detox greens, although it was a bottled drink it still hit the mark. The following day I ordered the continental breakfast which came with a latte or you can have traditional drip coffee, a juice (pineapple/grapefruit/orange), toast, and house made jam. I was pretty happy with my three drink rotation water, latte, and juice. I also ordered some lox and cream cheese. I would most likely skip the lox next time bc it had a strong smell and I wasn't sure if it had gone bad. The fruit that came was a nice variety I'd dragonfruit, raspberries, melon, blackberries, and blue berries. If I stayed an additional day I would try the acai bowl. Overall it was pleasant experience and I would love to return when the construction is complete on the rest of the hotel since it's quite a beautiful property. Nice to have found a little oasis in weho. IYKYK

Hrishi is ah MAY ZING ! He has been so helpful and kind . We got the olives and Cesar and pasta . The scenery here is exquisite.

A hidden gem! If you know.. you know. The food is really good here and they know how to make a delicious Paper Plane. I recommend the shorts ribs and fingerling potatoes, you will not be disappointed I promise. The ambiance is beautiful, you walk by lights, trees and a koi pond on the way in and it's very intimate. Typically there's an older crowd here and the hotel itself is full of music memorabilia. The hotel has a small gallery when you first walk in which is definitely worth a look at before you head in to the restaurant

Cavatina is a cool spot for sure ! Definitely more secluded/ private / romantic. We went on a Saturday at 6pm and it was empty- felt like we had the whole place to ourselves which was nice, but it picked up a little later in the night. There is valet since street parking is difficult for dinner time. The service was great! The food is a little pricey but very good quality. We ordered a few apps and a pasta which was delicious ! Also, the Violet Underground cocktail was super yummy and highly recommend. We were hoping for some different food options and more dessert selections but overall we enjoyed our experience !

Darling had been on my list for a while. I have Southern roots and love Southern food, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it. I also made a point of ordering things I probably wouldn't normally choose, which turned out to be a very good decision. Started with the Midnight Club, a bourbon cocktail with blackberry, amaro, citrus, and absinthe. Really good, with enough going on to be interesting without tasting overly complicated. The surprise of the night was the grilled squash and Romano beans. Honestly one of the best-tasting vegetable dishes I've had. Squash, tomatoes, mint, cornbread purée, and this thicker sweet-vinegary sauce all came together incredibly well. There was so much flavor in something I probably would have overlooked on the menu. I also had the black cod with grits and clams, which was fantastic. The fish was boneless and beautifully cooked over buttery grits, and the sauce underneath was so good I wanted a spoon for it. Rich and buttery, a little sweet, with dill coming through unexpectedly in a really pleasant way. Just an unbelievable amount of flavor. For dessert I had the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and date. Great flavors, although they were a little awkward to eat with a spoon. The space itself is very cool, with interesting art and an open-air section in the middle that gives the restaurant a distinctive feel. Friendly service throughout. There was a DJ playing, which was fine, although it was pretty loud where they initially seated me near the lounge. I moved farther back into the restaurant and it was much more comfortable. You'll also hear the occasional "woo!" coming from the bar area. Overall, a really fun meal and several dishes I'd come back specifically to eat again. The squash in particular was completely unexpected and exceptional.

The food is mostly excellent. Green goddess salad was very good, albeit a bit heavy on the dressing. Pickled shrimp were a generous size and quite delicious, the pork loin atop corn was even better. The tahini and cucumber was least memorable dish, in fact, I would pass on it. Had three dishes that were all unique yet a bit too similar: Carolina creamed rice, some sort of white bean dish, and a greens atop cornbread mash. All were good but just too close? Cod was also excellent, like the pork loin, cooked perfectly. And the wine list was quite good. Had a peach cobbler for dessert, walnut fudge, and a peanut tart; all were American-sweet so I will defer opinions on that to someone who likes American-sweet dishes.

We ordered the crispy sesame shrimp, watermelon feta salad, lemon spaghetti, braised short rib campanelle, grilled corn, and broccolini, and everything was so good. The short rib pasta and shrimp were probably my favorites. Our server was also really sweet and attentive. The mosquitoes were definitely out and I somehow left with five bites but she even offered me bug spray, which I thought was so thoughtful. Apparently they're just bad in California right now, so I definitely wouldn't hold that against the restaurant. Overall, such a beautiful atmosphere, great food, and a really nice experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for a date night!

The food was about a three but unbelievable that they can't have someone helping the host or telling the hostess that she needs to acknowledge the customers when they come in and let them know what's going on. So unprofessional. Also to note the restaurant wasn't busy. There were six waiters just hanging around talking to each other so they could've helped with all this or the manager could've gotten some help for the hostess, but she was left alone and either was not trained really well or the management is really bad and needs to get on this. Also, she said no tables were open at the main part of the restaurant so we had to sit at the bar and we ate at the bar, but no one took those tables and there were about six waiters still just talking and waiting around so we could've easily eaten there, so I don't know what she was talking about As for the food it was OK nothing great. The chicken schnitzel was overcooked and fried a little bit too much and the rigatoni was OK but if you want good pasta, you should really go to Madeo or Ebaldi so nothing to write about here in general if you just wanna try some other places, this is fine, but don't expect the best or maybe we just didn't have the right dishes

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!
