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 !

Our waiter told us that they can accommodate larger groups which is great. I recently ate food at Saffy's and I didn't enjoy it one bit.

What a fantastic meal we had here!…read more Felt like Mediterranean so decided to check out this place. First of all service was absolutely phenomenal. They want to ensure that you're having a great food experience. As for the food everything hit it out of the park! The Cretan Feta was potentially the most tasty appetizer I've ever had in all my life. The pita that came with it was freshly made when we ordered it and it was so soft and tasty. The feta itself was whipped perfection! They recommended drizzling their olive oil on it and what a game changer that was! Side note: they make their own olive oil! Apparently you can buy it on Amazon but we took some home direct from the restaurant. Back to the food - had their lamb chops (that came with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies) and their meatballs. Both were outstanding. Finished it off with their baklava which was the perfect consistency and level of sweetness. The perfect end to our night. This is a small cute and perfect place to go with your girlfriends or on a date. Plenty of street parking (and we went at 6pm on a Wednesday). Will absolutely come back for their breakfast!

After we sat, the restaurant filled up. For my entree, I ordered the Loobia Polo with chicken koobideh and it was pretty good! Loobia Polo is a rice dish sauteed with diced filet mignon, green beans, and tomato sauce according to the menu. The rice was tasty and was not too tangy. The rice dish was mostly soft, but there were some hard bits which I did not enjoy. However, I also enjoyed the meaty and juicy chicken koobideh. The flavor was just right. The roasted tomato on the side was also great. All together, it was a great meal. Our table was served with a complimentary flat bread with butter appetizer which was nice. The flatbreads were warm. The interior was nice and clean. There are clean and private bathrooms available. Service was good, but we did have to flag down a server to get our bill. There's a big and free parking lot in front which is pretty rare for Hollywood and even LA in general. Overall, I had a good experience here and wouldn't mind coming back.

My first time coming to Soom Soom - I'm going to give it a 4 out of 5 stars this time around…read morebecause I was extremely hungry and I ate the food almost too quick to enjoy it fully. I plan to come back again to try it a few more times and update my review accordingly. This place reminds me of a fast food/Chipotle-style eatery, but serves Mediterranean food instead. You order the type on entree you want (Shawarma, kabob, schnitzel, koobideh - pita, plate or wrap style) or a la carte with the sides. Each Pita/Wrap/Plate comes with your choice of rice or couscous, 4 sides, and 2 half pitas. 1. Beef Shawarma Plate (4.5/5) The beef is cooked on the famously known Middle Eastern vertical rotisserie for well-balanced roasting. I can taste a bit of the Middle Eastern spices used in the seasoning of the meat. The beef was sliced very thinly, was not dry, and portions were reasonable. It was delicious to eat on its own, when mixed with couscous, and when used as filling in the pita wrap. Comes with 2 sides of dressing. The white color dressing (not sure what it is) was bitter, which I was not a fan of. However, the spice tahini sauce was very good and very mild in heat. It had a light tartness to it that gave additional flavor to the dish. *Tabouli salad (5/5) This is a traditional Middle Eastern salad consisting of fresh finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions, with bulgur wheat and mixed with lemon-olive oil dressing. The parsley flavor was robust and the salad overall was fresh and refreshing. *Side of Beets (5/5) - fresh and crunchy. I hate preparing beets on my own at home due to their staining effects, so when I can get it fresh at a restaurant, it's my go-to. It is packed with fiber, micronutrients and nitrates, which helps to lower blood pressure, inflammation and improve athletic endurance by improving blood flow. Beets pair well with hummus and Tabouli salad. *Hummus (5/5) - I personally found their house-made hummus to be quite good. It was creamy, very smooth in texture (no grainy-ness at all), and had a strong chickpea nutty flavor profile. It has the perfect consistency to eat on its own, to mix with your meat and couscous, or to use as a base for your pita wrap. Minus half a star only because staff were not very friendly. They spoke very softly, which required me to ask them several times to repeat, so that was a bit annoying.
