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!

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 !

For our dinner, Jamie W. and I weren't looking to venture far from our comfortable room at the Sunset Marquis in WeHo (review: https://bit.ly/43uWPE5), so we went downstairs and walked a few yards to their in-house al fresco restaurant. It's hidden away on the hotel's grounds in a way that made it feel quite exclusive. We felt like Lucy and Ethel at the Brown Derby on "I Love Lucy". Except there was no throwing pies at Bill Holden or any of the rock music superstars who supposedly stay here. The best we could do was get seated next to a portrait of Aretha Franklin. The menu was full of temptations kinda on the ka-ching side. We started with the $26 Sunset Spread, a California-style mezze platter with three dipping sauces, crudité, olives, and grilled pita wedges. What stood out were the uniquely flavorful sauces: coconut yogurt tzatziki, edamame hummus, and beet muhamarra (photo: https://bit.ly/44m9vOV). For his entree, Jamie ordered the $44 Spicy Bucatini Pasta, an especially rich seafood pasta dish with lobster, shrimp, scallop, calamari, tomatoes, and Thai basil (photo: https://bit.ly/3XOrEme). I went more carnivorous with the $55 Dusted Prime Rib Filet. It consisted of a pair of trimmed, well tenderized filets sitting atop creamed baby Tokyo turnips and hedgehog mushrooms and drizzled with a black garlic bordelaise (photo: https://bit.ly/3DdO472). Pretty hearty, well executed. We decided to share the $22 Black Truffle Fries, quite a pile mixed with Parmesan fondue and the black garlic bordelaise (photo: https://bit.ly/3O8IEAh). We were getting stuffed and couldn't finish them off. By this time, we noticed the decidedly El Lay diners surrounding us. A round table full of suits. Professional wmen dining alone. Older guy and younger chick both in lululemon feeding each other dessert. Speaking of which, we still made room to share the $13 Honey Crisp Apple Crisp with cinnamon oat streusel, caramel ice cream, and sea salt (photo: https://bit.ly/3JS6aPl). A fine finish. FOOD - 4 stars...generous portions of creative takes on mainstream fine food AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...liked the private 'outdoor' setting away from the Sunset noise SERVICE - 4 stars...attentive enough TOTAL - 4 stars...SoCal upscale casual with prices to match RELATED - Exploring LA?

First of all, I want to point out that my friend drove all the way here from the OC to meet me for dinner and when she showed up they said their restaurant was closed due to a buyout holiday party, but they still were SO kind to seat her in their outside area away from the party and took us in! THANK YOU, we truly appreciate the hospitality! We ordered the Chilled Oysters, Hamachi Crudo, and Grilled Blue Prawns as appetizers and I still can't decide which one I was in love with more. For her entree, she got Mary's Organic Chicken and I ordered a Medium-Rare Dusted Prime Rib Filet. I tried both and you literally can't go wrong with anything that you order here! The place is beautiful, the service was amazing and I can't thank them enough for taking us even though they had a buyout! We took a stroll around the property before heading to their bar and because of their service alone, I would definitely recommend this place!

I got the skirt steak cooked medium rare -- flavor was good, but it was a little tough to cut. I think it would've paired even better with some garlic butter or chimichurri on the side. The mac and cheese was SO good and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Creamy, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. The pork chops were delicious and packed with flavor, but the spinach underneath was a bit too bitter for my taste. The mashed potatoes were creamy, soft, and comforting. We also loved the Brussels sprouts and Caesar salad -- both were super solid sides. Drinks were perfect and balanced out the dishes really well. Service and atmosphere were great too. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu next time we are in the area.

It was bland and portion was just smaller than I expected. There is a location in Pasadena and the pasta was seasoned well and balanced and what I feel the portion was much bigger. I do have to assume it's due to the location of this establishment. The ambiance was pretty slow however the inside decorations were so cute and pleasant on the eyes. I wouldn't come here for the food, perhaps a drink and a small app.

We sat in the lounge area and it was perfect. Got the ham appetizer, the burger, fries, and the raspberry sorbet dessert. Everything was incredible, one of the best burgers I've had in Los Angeles. Service was also great. I even called about an hour after I got home because I started getting a scratchy throat and realized I didn't specifically ask if there were strawberries in the raspberry sorbet (I'm allergic and that was completely my mistake for not double checking before I chowed down) but the host that answered was super nice, I could hear in the background her double checking with a server, who then even double checked with the kitchen to make sure they were giving me the correct answer which I really really appreciate. Side note, no strawberries in the sorbet I'll most definitely be returning here in the future.

Sean Brock (James Beard nominee and winner, "The Mind of a Chef" Season 2 host, "Chef's Table"…read moreSeason 6 featured culinary artist, among other highlights) has taken his Southern US cuisine to Hollywood in a recently opened restaurant. Darling takes some of Sean's favorite dishes, many of which are grilled, and adds an Asian fusion touch. Will it succeed? Time will tell, but we very much enjoyed our experience at the restaurant. The first two things you will notice when entering Darling is the large shade tree settled in the center of the lounge area and the Hi-Fi DJ booth pumping out the vibes. I really liked the decor, it set a casual tone to the fine dining. And the music jammed, from World to R&B to Jazz with a couple pop hits mixed in, it set an enjoyable atmosphere without distracting from the conversation my wife and a couple old friends were able to have. Favorite dish? It had to be the Deviled Egg topped with Bluefin Tuna. It takes a memorable dish from my childhood and turns it, well, not into something my mom would make but so much better! (Sorry, no photos of the dish, our eggs evaporated before I got to my camera). The Wood-Fired Oysters and the Rockfish (which my wife ordered) were also highlights. Any misses? I thought I'd enjoy the Dry-Aged Burger somewhat more than I did. The patty itself is very large and thick making it highly fat-forward on the palate. A little bit of acid, say, a couple slices of pickle and/or tomato would benefit the dish well. All in all, my friends and I very much enjoyed our evening at Darling. Highly recommended!

We ordered the Wagyu burger, egg white turkey omelette with potatoes, & a side of bagels. The food was decent but very bland--nothing stood out, & we had to add salt for flavor to everything.

The bagels were good, but they gave very little cream cheese and even charged extra for more, which bad barely enough for one side of a beagle. Service was a bit disappointing. Our server was nice but It wasn't busy, yet our server rarely checked on us--we had to refill our own water & go get the pitcher. They also don't clearly mention when choosing sides it cost extra, which can add up quickly but a heads up would have been appreciated. Overall, we paid about $65 for two & left underwhelmed. It's fine for a casual hangout, but not somewhere I'd go to be impressed. I will say on a positive note, the baked goods, specifically the soft chocolate chip cookies, tasted very fresh! Other than that though we were quite a bit disappointed.
