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

Caesar Salad

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 !

Plant based Gelato

I had just dropped my son off at school and was starving for some reason. The nice woman at the front said they weren't open for another hour but I guess she heard my stomach and said she would whip me up something. I told her what I liked and boyyy did she make it. It was the best omelette I had ever had.... The chicken taquitos were bomb.... The French toast was fire. Again.... This was an amazing place!

5/5 - Flavor-packed, thoughtful plating, and absolutely worth the visit…read more This spot delivers on both flavor and presentation. I ordered a loaded carne asada-style dish served over fresh greens, and every bite was intentional and well-balanced. The beef was deeply seasoned, tender, and slightly crisped in places, which added great texture. It was topped with a creamy, slightly tangy sauce that tied everything together without overpowering the meat. What really stood out was the attention to detail: pickled red onions for acidity, fresh greens for balance, and a side of house-made pickled vegetables that cut through the richness perfectly. The tostada-style side topped with avocado, herbs, and onions added a nice contrast--crunchy, fresh, and vibrant. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Portion size was generous without feeling excessive, and the dish felt hearty yet clean. I paired it with a refreshing citrus drink that complemented the meal well and kept everything light. Overall, this is the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen cares about execution. Bold flavors, great balance, and a presentation that looks just as good as it tastes. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying, well-crafted meal

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!

The entire team was so kind and accommodating, and they truly went above and beyond for us. My husband and his mom both have celiac disease, and being able to have a completely gluten-free wedding menu was such a priority for us. The team took it incredibly seriously. They deep cleaned the kitchen beforehand, including the fryer, and changed the fryer oil to help prevent cross-contamination. That level of care meant SO much to us and allowed everyone to just enjoy the night without having to worry about the food. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were everything we wanted, and the space made for such a beautiful, intimate celebration. A special shoutout to Eddie and Celina as well. Their communication throughout the process was fantastic and made everything so easy. We've loved coming to Bacari for dinner, we loved getting married there, and I would absolutely host another event there in a heartbeat. It will always be such a special place for us!

My friends and I chose this place because they had a few vegan options. Would have actually loved to see more on the menu but I enjoyed what I had. We did have issues with service forgetting us because they were incredibly busy but they did try to make it up to us by offering a free item. Because I feel like I've tried most of the vegan items on the menu, I'm not eager to come back but if my friends wanted to I would. I really did enjoy the atmosphere. I'd say it's definitely worth trying once. I'd be curious to see the other locations.

His advice: "go in the morning, their cakes and pastries are killer; a long line forms even before they open, it will be worth it" it's hard to not go broke here, they have sometimes unnusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husband's favorite, its a bit much for me but I cannot deny its beauty and quality. I love all the passion fruit desserts, their danishes, anything with Caramel is also my husband's jam. Come hungry, eat something here, take some home.

A crispier waffle would have helped this dish instead it felt like eating soggy bread on an eggs Benedict. The poached egg and sauce was nothing special. One of my friends also got a poached egg..but it was extremely overcooked no runny yolk :( so it looks like their technique could use a little work - not what you expect from a famous brunch place The French toast we got to share for the table and it was very boring - it's as it sounded like a French toast with Nutella and some whip cream and fruits on the side. The bread was just ok. Maybe I should have gotten the chicken and waffles but I don't think I'll be back - there are better brunch options that are more fairly priced in LA with more parking. Maybe it was an off day but it's too popular for what it is
