    coffee! Iced lavender and hot pumpkin spice latte
    Lauren S.

    This place is so cute! I love the cozy farmhouse/boho interior design. It's perfect to come grab a pastry and coffee with friends or do a whole brunch/lunch. I love that they do a pumpkin spice latte year round too! The food is some of the best Ukrainian food I've tried on the West Side of LA and the staff are all so kind and attentive. You can tell they put a lot of effort into the food and it's homemade since they take a while to bring out the dishes. Will definitely return!

    Holubtsi with Beef

    I took my parents here because I NEEDED to introduce them to the potato varenyky. And, of course, they ended up loving it, along with everything else on the table. Potato varenyky are potato dumplings swimming in a delicious, creamy mushroom sauce. It's my favorite item, but the entire spread of Ukrainian food that we ordered cannot be beat. A similar dish to this was the crepes with chicken and mushroom because the base used the same sauce. For dessert or a sweet breakfast should I say, the crepes with sweet cottage cheese are a good choice. Fusion Kitchen is saved in my personal Yelp collection of top recommendations I have whenever people ask for food recs. They have beautiful, cozy indoor seating and even an outdoor seating area, which is also gorgeous when the weather is good.

    Since my last visit to Fusion Kitchen was amazing, I knew I had to visit again! This time, I came back with the girlies for a cute Galentine's brunch--and it was unforgettable! The interior was nicely decorated with cute heart balloons inside the same rustic cozy interior. Presentation is top-notch and everything tasted just as good as it looks. I really loved every dish, but have to give a special shoutout to the eggs benedict and pistachio cake we had for dessert. Fusion Kitchen seriously does brunch best! I love Fusion Kitchen! Ordered: Breakfast Plate Eggs Benedict Quinoa Bowl with Kimchi French Toast with Berry and Custard Sauces Dumplings with Cherries (varenyky) - so good + unique Ricotta & Pistachio Cake - AMAZING

    Nice Ukrainian brunch! Clean and cozy interior, serve with flavorful dishes. We got the shashuka, caviar bagel, mlynski with chicken and mushroom, and varenyky with cherries. The dumpling dough are soft, for the mlynski, full of mushroom flavors. Service is very friendly and explain the dishes. A must try when you are craving brunch :)

    Syrnyky With Custard

    If you've been looking for an EGG-cellent brunch spot in Los Angeles, definitely check out this criminally underrated hidden gem! @fusionkitchenla specializes in Ukrainian-style brunch, with unique breakfast dishes such as syrnyky (farmer's pancakes), mlyntsi (crepes), varenyky and pelmeni (dumplings) that are so hard to find anywhere else! With the help of the very friendly employees, we ordered a good mix of traditional and Ukrainian brunch dishes, and we were SO impressed with the excellent culinary execution and beautifully curated flavors of each dish. If you're in the Miracle Mile area, I highly recommend checking them out for one of the BEST and most unique brunches I've had in LA! Featured here: caviar bagel medovik shakshuka mlyntsi with berries syrnyky with custard honey and lavender latte matcha latte

    Potato dumplings with mushroom and beef and cabbage roll

    Fusion was a very nice place to visit for lunch. Really cute cafe with a comforting ambiance almost like you're eating in someone's house. I've never had Ukrainian food but this cafe really opened my world to some delicious items! Food came out really quick and we were able to self serve water. My partner and I really enjoyed the potato dumplings which were soft, creamy, and savory. I do like that there was sour cream available for each dish, it just gave it a nice kick. The Beef cabbage rolls were also good, the cabbage was cooked really well and held its structure, the beef with the sauce reminded me of a meatloaf almost! The Syrnyky was a good dessert to end the meal--it was not too sweet and quite fluffy! I really appreciated how big the blueberries were and the mix of berries was fantastic. Very refreshing with a hint of tartness. Staff were friendly and attentive! If you're looking for the bathroom, you'll need a key and to take a small stroll into a quiet outdoor space to use the restroom. Overall a great experience and great introduction to Ukrainian food, thank you Fusion kitchen!

    The Borscht

    Great experience, order at the counter and they deliver to your table. The Latte Coffee is great. Crepes are fantastic, and delicious. Everything we tried was phenomenal. The Borscht was my favorite. Next was the Cabbage Rolls.

    Fusion Kitchen LA completely blew me away. First of all the raspberry croissant? Hands down the best I've ever had, and honestly the only one I've ever seen like this. Flaky, buttery, and filled with flavor. A total dream. Their Eggs Benedict with caviar was next-level elegant, rich, and perfectly balanced. And don't even get me started on the crepes with sweet cottage cheese... comforting, delicious, and beautifully presented. Also, HUGE shout out to Katie! She gave the best customer service I've experienced in a long time warm, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel special. Fusion Kitchen LA is 100% a Hidden Gem. I'll be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

    I went with my spouse, we shared a plate of Vareniki, my spouse had the Shakshuka and honey cake, I had the borscht. We loved everything! I will be going back for the Shakshuka! The Borscht was excellent and who doesn't love a potato and cheese dumpling? The place felt very comfortable and clean! We ordered at the counter and everything was brought to our table. The guy who took our order and delivered the food was friendly and personable. What a great place!

    Pelmeni with Beef to take home and cook yourself. Yum!
    Derek L.

    Never had Ukrainian food before, but this place is right down the street from where I lived so we thought we would give it a shot. Let me tell you, it's delicious!!! We enjoyed the pelmeni so much that we bought some to go. It was easy to prepare and just as delicious. It's a cute little place and the staff is friendly. A little pricey, but the food is definitely made to order. You can see the chefs in the back preparing all the food. Give it a shot! I'll definitely be back!

    Came here for brunch with my partner today. Everything we tried was delightful!! I ordered the Mylntsi with Chicken and Mushroom, and my partner got the Varenyky with Mashed Potatoes. I also had a matcha latte and we shared one of the cannolis with condensed milk. Mylntsi with Chicken and Mushroom: 9/10. The outside was nice and crispy, and the filling was super flavorful. It paired so well with the cold sour cream! Would definitely order this again and again. Varenyky with Mashed Potatoes: 8/10. Not as savory as the mylntsi but still delicious! Cannoli with condensed milk: 7/10. A little too sweet IMO but still a nice dessert. Matcha latte, unsweetened: 7/10. This wasn't my favorite matcha latte, but it was solid and I wouldn't mind ordering it again. It wasn't very busy at 1 PM on a Sunday; we didn't have to wait at all for a table. You order and pay at the counter first then find your own table, where they'll bring your food out to you. It took about 30 min for our food to come out, which is a bit slow, though I know this is also a newer location. I would love to come back and try some of their sweeter dishes, like the syrnky or mlyntsi with cottage cheese!

    Pistachio eclair and vanilla latte
    Jody P.

    Super cute and clean place to grab a coffee and pastry. The coffee wasn't overly sweet and the eclair perfectly crisp. Delish!

The food is so fresh and homemade and gives you a true taste of Russian/Ukrainian food! Our go-to's are always the Borscht soup, Darniskty Salad, Pelmeni, and Chicken Tabaka. They also always bring out some fresh Russian bread for FREE and they are super giving on the portion. The soup is a 10/10, reminds me of the Hong-Kong style borscht soup. Comforting, healthy, and hearty! The salad is by far the major reason I keep coming back. The dill, fresh tomato slices, salty onion, and cucumber with a little zest is so tasty and again super healthy! The pelmeni and tabaka are classics you can never go wrong with. The pelmeni also reminds me of Chinese pork dumplings and are absolutely delicious with their fresh sour cream dipping sauce.

Especially when you dip a piece of the blintzes into the mushrooms sauce, it's a homerun. Plethora of flavors all working beautifully together to give you that "Oh Woooow" feeling of satisfaction. Definitely a must try here. The design here is rustic, old school Ukrainian-Russian, with a lot of wood finishes. The customer service here is consistently amazing. Will definitely be back again!

However, no photos allowed and I respected the rules of the restaurant. So let me have my words do the photographic build up for Olivetta. We were headed to valet ($20) and somehow lucked into getting one of the very few parking spots right out front, score. We were warmly greeted and walked to our reservation immediately, walking by a rowdy gen x party at the bar adorned in cowboy hats & wanna-be influencers at nearly every table. It's so pretty inside, each room a little different but equally awe inspiring. I loved the vibe and my seat was perfectly placed in front of a giant mirror. My avoidant self did not have to view my reflection, but rather it was like a TV showing me all the hustle and bustle of the restaurant as diners shuffled back and forth to their seats. Watching the crowd was fun. Classy, range of ages, range of demographics but everyone is LA cool. You can be who you want here and Olivetta exemplifies that under their beautiful exterior. We had a perfect server by the way, very friendly and gave just the right level of service, not too much, not too little, just what I like, like I'm Goldilocks of Yelp LA Dining. We started with the squash blossoms, maybe regrettably so, as we had a hard time choosing an app. I'll try something else next time as they underwhelmed me. A nice crisp on the flowers but the stems were a bit much and I just found this dish to be aiight. Now the pastas I absolutely loved. We tried two and just adored them both. I was actually surprised at how good the portions were for such a classy, cute place. The Creste di Gallo was a sensation for the eyes and mouth, with a fun tableside creation of this dish. There's a generous shaving of cheese and delectable bone marrow in the dish, really great flavor and consistency. The Agnolotti was equally, if not even more, creamy and delicious. I was so full but could not stop eating this rich sauce over sage cream sauce and dried sage leaves. The roasted carrots were a nice accompaniment with our meal over a puffed feta bed sprinkled generously with pistachio and dill. Despite being full, we were still able to get through about half of the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake which was fluffy and soft with a chocolate ganache to pour over the top. I wouldn't have minded if this came with gelato or ice cream, just a tad but it was still a solid dessert. I do wish they had some non-alcoholic items like hot tea or coffee or espresso to go with dessert, they only had alcoholic offerings. Prior to beginning dinner, we did order some drinks. They had 3 Mocktails on their menu and were out of 1, so my friend and I ordered the only 2 mocktails ($16 a pop) options on offer. We found them okay - just fine, but wished they were excellent or more NA options were available & more care was intended for those of us who are Cali sober. Other than drinks though, I absolutely loved Olivetta. I'll absolutely be back to try more on the menu and I'm sitting here craving the Agnolotti, omggggggg it was so bomb. I def will be copping that dish again.

For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and escargot. The octopus was easily the highlight of the night. The flavor, sauce, and texture were all amazing, and the roasted herb potatoes paired perfectly with the salsa verde and chimichurri. I would highly recommend this dish. The escargot was also very flavorful, especially if you enjoy garlic. The bread it comes with is a great touch since you can dip it into the sauce or pour the garlic butter over it. For entrées, we ordered the Atlantic salmon and the rack of lamb. The salmon tasted very fresh, but unfortunately lacked flavor. The rack of lamb -- which is considered their signature dish -- was tender, juicy, and worth trying at least once, but honestly the appetizers stood out more than the entrées for me. We also got two cocktails: the Pomegranate Margarita and the Casanova. Both were good and definitely on the sweeter side, so I'd recommend them if you enjoy sweeter drinks. Overall, I would come back mainly for the appetizers and cocktails.

When the original iteration of this extravagant tasting menu restaurant debuted in 2018 in the back of the SLS Hotel, it was a stunner from day one. Now, a pandemic intermission and a relocation to West Hollywood later, Somni 2.0 operates on an even higher level. Somni is not only the most expensive restaurant in Los Angeles, it's also one of the most expensive in the country. The tasting menu starts at $745 actually, you're dealing with a meal that can cost as much as a family trip to legoland. Somni makes it clear from the first of 20-plus courses where your money is going. As you're led into a tree-draped courtyard outside the converted bungalow where the restaurant is housed (it used to be a Donna Karan store), the night begins with a champagne flute of frothed-up mandarin juice and a spread of carnival-coded snacks: popcorn-flavored leaves, a feather made of parmesan, and a big trompe l'oeil almond shell that cracks under your teeth like candy. Somni's chef cooked under José Andres and came up in the tongue-in-cheek school of fine dining made famous by Spain's El Bulli--so whimsy-heavy dishes like a cartoonish mushroom sandwich boosted with truffle, or a sashimi-like sardine tart on an oversized goldfish cracker are par for the course. But Somni's Spanish-leaning creations never sacrifice deliciousness for cleverness. An obscenely generous mound of caviar over a dissolving puff of dashi-flavored meringue is so delicious that all you can do is sigh. Beef tartare is delicately stuffed inside a tempura shiso leaf that's fried so it inflates like a crab shell, all but defying physics. A fair number of dishes use foams and flowers at Somni, but there's nothing dainty about the flavors here. The food is only half of what you'll remember, though. The dining room's 14 seats gently curve around a long kitchen counter like front-row seats to a play. The servers are cooks and vice versa. Many of them wear Secret Service earpieces. There's a natural choreography to how they breeze around the room, but no moment in the three-hour production comes across rehearsed for someone that's paralyzed. That's great news A beverage pairing is required Even if you choose the most inexpensive option-- over 100 Still, if you're willing to make the investment, Somni does not disappoint. A meal at this theatrical tasting menu spot is nothing short of incredible--just know it's incredibly expensive, too.

    Service: A+ Food: A+…read moreDecor and ambiance: A+ An unforgettable culinary experience. I want to recognize all the hard work, passion, and dedication Chef Zabala and his team brought to this extraordinary meal. My wife and I arrived early. I strongly recommend arriving early, since all guests are seated at the same time. All guests are served at the same time - by a highly synchronized team effort. Dress code exists. My wife wore a stunning dress. Me - in a long sleeve, khakis, and dress shoes. I recommend, for male guests, to dress better than I did. Definitely a jacket. The experience starts with warm, friendly smiles as you enter through the door. From there, you will be taken to the outdoor patio area, where tables, seats, hanging decor, and IG picturesque trees await. It's a start to what will be a wonderful experience. Then you will be taken indoors. Inside there is seating for 14. Seating is styled like a curved line. Two sides. You will face the Chef and his team. Plating will take place in front of you, and then taken to each person with synchronized style and grace. I felt like I was watching a conductor conduct a culinary symphony with his orchestra. Food? Unbelievable. Beautiful, creative, and complex. Look at the photos. The dedication it takes to dream of a deconstructed pizza and rebuilt by gastronomy, then executed with precision. And devoured by a few quick mouthfuls, yet fully savored. Service is rhythmic, synchronized, and attentive. Rhythmic because there is a pace, a rhythm set by the courses. Synchronized because the staff work in unison. Attentive because they feel and respond to the pulse of each guest. The wine pairing? Spot on. Team member Caroline did an excellent job here. Even when stuffed to the brim, I would not let a single drop of wine go to waste. No way, down the hatch it goes. On that note, get a rideshare or taxi. Last, Chef Zabala. His passion and dedication are noteworthy. To invent his dishes, to make them, to perfect them, and then to serve them. I can only imagine how much behind-the-scenes work it takes. An artist, a culinary magician, and a dedicated master to his craft. Thank you!

    We had such a great experience at The Terrace at the Maybourne on Easter Sunday. It already felt…read morespecial being there, but the service made it even better and really welcoming. They had the Easter bunny come to take photos with the kids and handed out eggs. Val was our server and was great, and Maya, who was helping her, was honestly amazing. She was so attentive and just always on top of everything. I don't think she stopped moving once the whole time we were there. She was constantly checking in, refilling drinks, clearing plates, and making sure everything felt smooth without ever interrupting the moment. The food was also so good, we loved the chilaquiles and the cinnamon roll was definitely a favorite. Everything came out perfect and the whole experience just felt easy and enjoyable. It's not often you notice a server assistant this much, but Maya really stood out she was so nice and sweet and made us feel welcomed. I would absolutely come back and would love to have them again.

    I had breakfast at this restaurant and can confidently say it was one of the worst breakfast…read moreexperiences in Los Angeles. We ordered the truffle eggs Benedict and the croque madame, and calling the meal disappointing would be an understatement. The presentation alone looked careless and unappetizing -- shocking for dishes at this price point. When you charge $40 for eggs Benedict, expectations naturally rise. One expects not only quality ingredients and flavor, but refinement and attention to detail. Instead, what arrived looked rushed and poorly executed. The croque madame was somehow even more baffling: the egg managed to be both undercooked and overcooked at the same time -- a culinary contradiction I didn't think was possible. The textures were off, the balance was unpleasant, and nothing on the plate justified the premium pricing. And to complete the experience, the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service charge to the bill, regardless of the quality of service or food. An unfortunate ending to an already deeply disappointing breakfast.

No bread but they did bring us a crostini. Hard to dunk that in the delicious sauce. My iced tea was bottled. I think that's odd in a craft restaurant. Nice service from someone who I think is the owner. I understand this to be a neighborhood gem. Good luck.

Our server, Diana, was incredibly attentive and checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious; the pork belly, the salad, and the branzino were standouts. Our only mistake was talking too much and not diving into the pasta right away, but even then, it was still very good. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. I'd love to come back during the day to fully enjoy the greenery under the turf. They also have a nice wine list. Street parking is available and wasn't an issue for us. Definitely a spot worth visiting.

    If you enjoy life entertainment & show, then this is the place to be! $50 p/p for an entertainment…read more(Russian, Armenian, English songs) was absolutely worth it. The show was interesting and entertaining as well! Our server Gayane was very attentive and friendly, always checking on us, and maintaining a clean table. If you are party of 6 and/or more, they offer a set menu with a different price range ($135, $175, $250 p/p). Since we were only party of 2 we had to order from a menu. Cheese platter, salmon carpaccio, vinaigrette salad, wague beef, & bronzino. A manager or the owner came to our table with a plate of lamb chops, as a token of appreciation, that was very sweet-thank you! Everything was delicious, however, if you really hungry the portions are small, it won't satisfy you. We had a big lunch earlier, so we felt great with it. Another great touch was, they have a photographer that goes around the whole evening, and takes pictures of the guests. Within few minutes you get an offer of purchasing your pic in a nice frame for $20 (a fare price in my opinion). Even though we didn't need all 3 pics of us, we still purchased them all in support of the photographer's business. In all, yes it's pricey, and adds up quickly, but absolutely worth it! We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday celebration, or even if you just want a special evening with your significant one.

Around 1am, their sound system stopped working, and instead of resolving it promptly, they struggled with it for over 30 minutes with no clear communication or urgency. We understand that technical issues can happen, but what matters is how they're handled. There was no meaningful update, no contingency plan, and no effort to accommodate guests who specifically came for the music. After waiting half an hour with nothing happening, we had no choice but to leave. Never returning, the sound system is not that complicated, get your things together, Romanov!!
