    I've been to Margot in Culver City three times : 1/25/2025 & 5/20/2023 & 4/21/2019. Each time I visited, I had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. It's truly a perfect spot for a date night, with a great ambiance that makes the experience even more special. The service was also very friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food here is consistently delicious. One dessert I highly recommend is the Flourless Chocolate Torte with Nutella crème fraîche and toasted hazelnuts. It's absolutely delicious--an absolute bomb. As an appetizer, I also really enjoyed the Pan con Tomate (grilled bread, fresh tomato, ricotta, and EVOO). It was so fresh and tasty. The last time I visited was on January 25, 2025, and below is what I posted on my Instagram that day: I went to Margot in Culver City for the third time, but I was disappointed that the dish I always enjoyed was no longer available. I really loved their Bombolotti pasta, but since it was gone, I tried a different pasta that the waitress recommended as a similar option--but it just wasn't the same. However, the flourless chocolate cake was absolutely delicious. (Saturday, January 25, 2025)

    Made reservations for dinner with friends on a Friday night and we were seated immediately. My party ordered the Arancini, Charred Broccoli, Steak Tagliatelle, Seafood Risotto, and Pappardelle Bolognese. The arancini and bolognese were pretty standard dishes. Good but nothing spectacular. The risotto was good but I'm not the biggest fan of risotto in general. The steak was delicious with the chimichurri sauce; however, the steak itself was a little disappointing for how expensive it is. For $70, you would except it to be tender, but it was pretty tough and hard to cut. The real highlight of the dishes was the broccoli. I didn't know broccoli could be that good. The restaurant is on a rooftop, giving aesthetic vibes. This restaurant is more on the pricier side, and you are paying more for the view than the food.

    On Easter, 7 of us went to have lunch at Margot in Culver City. Our reservations were for 1 pm and my sister and I parked in the parking structure across the street from the shopping center where the restaurant is located. It was easy and not expensive to park I think it was $5. We were surprised to find that it was not crowded. Walking through the shopping center to the restaurant was very nice, with lots of cute shops so give yourself time to look around either before or after your meal. The entrance to the restaurant is really pretty. We even took some photos of the sign walking in. The indoor dining area is light and bright with lots of natural lighting. We requested to be seated in the patio where there were plenty of umbrellas for shade and nice views of the surrounding landscape. We were promptly greeted by our server and we ordered drinks. Service was not rushed nor was it too slow. I ordered the Utopia, a mocktail... and I have to say it was the best I have had. Not too sweet and looked very pretty with jalapeño dust on the side of the glass. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a non-alcoholic option. All of the other cocktails ordered by our party were equally enjoyable. We ordered several appetizers; the oysters, the hamachi, the charred broccoli and the arancini. All of the appetizers were delicious. My favs were the hamachi and the charred broccoli. I ordered the spicy meatball sandwich for lunch. It was tasty but I found it a bit dry. I probably wouldn't order it again but I brought half of it home and my boyfriend loved it. My sister ordered the fried chicken and she raved about it. I didn't hear any complaints about the other dishes that were ordered. I have included pictures of everything that we ordered. I would definitely go back and we all enjoyed our time, meals and drinks. One thing to pay attention to is the 4% restaurant fee, which the check states is optional and will be removed upon request. We chose to keep the fee and just adjusted the tip accordingly.

    Walking up towards the restaurant, you actually have to take an elevator to the third floor for the actual restaurant.

    I'm not sure why Margot has such a low rating on Yelp. I recently went back for the first time in a long time. I was in the area and although we just had drinks it was a lovely experience. The staff was friendly and the surface was fairly quick and very attentive, the ambiance was amazing as always. You have to take an elevator up to the third floor, I personally love when you can look down at all the string lights in the area below even while seated inside. This is the perfect spot for a date night, drinks with friends, or showing somebody who's visiting in town a cool spot near the Culver City/Palms area. I'll definitely be back to try the food again, but from what I remember years ago the food was pretty good too :)

    This is a new favorite dinner spot for sure! The patio on the roof is nice and has a good view of the Platform in CC as well as surrounding areas. The service was quick but not rushed making Margot a great place for a gathering. The food was excellent. All of the ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were unique and addicting. The drinks are also tastefully crafted. Margot is on InKind if you're looking for a deal, which came in handy for my dining group!

    I have been wanting to go to Margot for years. I finally had the opportunity to go last Tuesday when I met an old friend for dinner. I was worried about parking but actually it was so easy to find a place where to park. My friend found a spot on the street and I parked on the parking structure across the street. Margot is a beautiful restaurant, the patio is amazing, I loved the decoration and the vibe. We were seated at the patio just next to a big heater which it was great., specially if you always get cold like me. This heater helped me to enjoy the beautiful ambiance of the patio and view. We shared the hamachi and charred broccoli, I basically devoured both. Then I ordered the salmon with wild rice which was outstanding, my friend ordered the gnocchi but I forgot to ask about his verdict. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which I loved. I will definitely come back If you haven't tried Margot, you have missed out a lot.

    We had a very nice dinner at Margot. The food was excellent and service was friendly and efficient. Our server was on top of everything and she took great care of us. The restaurant is contemporary and it was very loud. In my opinion it is much more of an adult atmosphere and I did not see any children. The cost my pasta dinner should have been $10 less as $36 for the pasta dish, in my opinion was a bit high. But it was excellent and I did enjoy it. I think the portion size might be a bit small for a hearty eater though. Also expect to spend at least $10 or more to park. I have never seen restrooms like they have. They have several private rooms and a communal area to wash your hands. It seemed to work very well.

    Long story short, avoid Margot, and it's on the NOT RECOMMEND list! Ambiance 4/5: it's a cozy and quiet restaurant located on the third level inside the shopping mall next to the metro station, stylish decorations and spacious indoor and outdoor dining area, clean individual restrooms Service 2/5: friendly although very slow, it took a while to get water and food served, I felt being rushed for eating there, our plates were taken away after we put down the utensils and paused a bit, despite there was still a bit left on the plates to finish, it's not like during rush hours people waiting for tables or they were closing for the day, you really don't have to rush your customers Food 1/5: simple menu items for food, not that many choices for both lunch and dinner, their food seems not meeting the sanitation requirements, unfortunately, both got stomach and diarrhea issues after eating here ham and burrata sandwich - ** serrano ham, local burrata, arugula pesto, flavorless sandwich pappardelle - *** ragu bolognese, meat sauce was good, but pasta was undercooked and on the chewier side Price 0/5: small to medium portions and slightly overpriced for its quality, expect about $40 per person. I feel this place is entitled and sneaky, be aware of the 4% restaurant fee, which you wouldn't be able to see the breakdown until you paid the bill, neither the server mention anything before we paid, nor it's not written anywhere on their website or menu. Even though it's optional and can be removed as shown on the receipt, how would you be able to do that without knowing its existence and seeing the term at the first place. We ended up paying more than expected, literally feels like tipping 24% instead of 20%. To be clear it's not about money, I'm okay tipping more or less by my own choice, but I'm definitely not okay being tricked by their shifty system. It could be worse, as this additional fee without advance notice, charged by the restaurant may not even go to the servers in the end, objectively their menu price is high enough to accommodate their mediocre food, business doing things like this won't last in the long run, as it's hard to retain returning customers.

    The bill (:

    1 star - Pricing Transparency Concern (Valentine's Day) I'm sharing this experience so other families and customers know to ask detailed pricing questions before dining here, especially on holidays. On Valentine's Day, my three teenagers (ages 13, 14, and 16) went to Margot for dinner. They've eaten here before, so we expected pricing similar to the regular menu (most entrées listed around $28-$70). However: The reservation confirmation said only "Prix Fixe Menu" -- no price was listed When they arrived, they were given a special menu with no prices No one explained that the Valentine's menu was $150 per person They were told they would receive "one of everything" Because there were three of them, staff said the restaurant would add "extra dishes," which sounded like accommodation -- not three full $150 charges One of my children is gluten-intolerant and was told she couldn't eat about half the menu, but there was no adjustment The final bill was over $550, and the price was only discovered at the end They were also presented with a champagne/alcohol menu, even though all three are minors The main issue is lack of price transparency before service. Had the price been clearly disclosed, they would not have dined that evening. I have contacted the restaurant multiple times by phone and email and have not been able to reach a manager or receive a response. The restaurant itself is a nice space, and past visits were fine, but this experience was very disappointing. If you plan to dine here -- especially for special events -- I strongly recommend confirming total pricing in advance. Sharing this so others don't end up surprised.

    Broccoli
    Harvey L.

    I've been to Margot many times over the years, and my favorite dish is the broccoli. Other items I typical get include: Steak and eggs - part of the brunch menu Broccoli - this is my favorite, it had an excellent vinaigrette yogurt dressing and there's something crunchy on top (I think fried quinoa) that really adds to the overall texture Ora King Salmon - the salmon itself is excellent and melts in your mouth. I especially like the crispy skin on the salmon. The seasoning is simple but good. I'm not a fan of the side salad and sauce that comes with it though. Atmosphere is excellent and service is fine but can be slow sometimes. I like to sit on the patio area, especially on a warm night. My rating is just for the food.

    The cuisine is a mix of Californian-Italian-Mediterranean, and everything I've had is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is hip, trendy, and upscale, but without feeling pretentious. They have large windows, setting the perfect vibe for either day or night dining. You wouldn't think frayed black rope hanging from a tall ceiling would look cool in a space, but it works here. The bathrooms are individual stalls (my preference - I don't want to hear other people using the restroom) and they have my favorite Aesop hand soap! We all had a drink and shared 4 small dishes + 1 entree, and it came out to ~$79 per person for 3 people. We were easily able to make a reservation for Margot on the Resy app, and we were able to specify that we wanted to sit in the indoor dining room since it was cold outside (although I love the vibes on the patio). For parking, we self parked in the lot right across the street (8850 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232) and walked through the Platform shopping center. To get to Margot, you take the swanky elevator (hidden in a corner, next to the jewelry store Catbird) and go to the top floor. I loved everything we had and would repeat this exact order again. Here was our order: Yellowtail crudo ($26) calabrian kosho, radish, citrus. Refreshing, citrus-forward, perfect texture. I loved this so much that next time I would order both crudos to share. Patatas bravas ($16) crispy fingerlings potato's with smoked paprika aioli on the side. Yummy for anyone who enjoys potatoes. Wild arugula salad ($20) with hazelnuts, vinaigrette, thinly sliced apples, and Manchego sheep cheese. Light & delicious. Charred broccoli ($24) with garlic yogurt, black garlic vinaigrette, feta. It didn't say it on the menu, but I'm pretty sure it's topped with quinoa. An absolute must order. For our entrée, since we were already on a seafood theme, we went with the Ora king salmon ($38) with black rice, avocado mousse, leeks, and serrano aioli. House Cocktail: The Hugo ($18) with elderflower, Prosecco & mint. Non-alcohol Mocktail: Arancia Spritz ($14) Lyre's Italian orange non-alcoholic spirit & soda. Leaning sweet without being overpowering, served in a fun glass.

    Came here for dinner. Wanted to try an Italian spot around culver and decided to give this a try. Made reservations and were seated promptly outside. Each seat had its own heater which made it very comfortable. Great for date night or with a larger group. We got the Boboloti pasta and the squid ink pasta. Both were savory and flavorful. The squid ink was a light bit citrusy and had a lighter profile than the boboloti which was more hearty and filling. The cheese was sharp which was a nice contrast. The pastas were quite aldente (more than our taste) and the pricing was quite high for what it is. Probably wont be back because of that but was still a nice spot to try out once. Food: 7/10 (for the price) Service: 8/10 Ambience: 9/10

    Super cute spot on a roof top ! The service was really good and it was super Duper cute. I really enjoyed my drink and I actually really enjoyed the food as well. Not the biggest fan of the beat salad but the sandwich and the fried chicken were definitely good. They have a set menu where you can pick stuff from me and my friend decided to do that with one option and got a meatball sandwich with the salad and then also split the chicken.

    Nice outdoor seating area

    Ask the Community - Margot

    Are gluten free pasta noodles available as a substitution option for the pasta dishes?

    Is indoor seating better than patio for an evening?

    While I have only been there for lunch, I always perfer the patio when weather permits. They do have heaters on the patio, if needed.

    What time do they stop seating for brunch?

    3pm

    Is bar seating open?

    I wouldn't recommend that, when we had our advance reservation, Margot called to cancel our reservation while we were driving to the restaurant.

    Is this place dog friendly?

    no.

    Do they take walk-ins right now or is it reservation only?

    They take both. Reservations preferred due to wait times on weekends.

    What vegan options do they have?

    They have a very small vegan Option of basically salads.

    How much is Corkage fee?

    $50

    Corkage fee @ Margot?

    $50

    Do you guys still serve brunch?

    They do, very small menu.

    Does Margot have live music now during covid with only patio dining ? If so which days?

    No live music currently. They do, however, have plans to start back next year.

    Is this a kind of place where guys can wear proper suit?

    I'm sure lots of men come here after work in their suits. It's a hip spot.

    Is patio better or inside?

    The patio! However make sure construction from the building across the street is done.

    How do you make reservations for a party under 15? The automated system is terrible

    I used Resy for a party of 11; no issues. You do have to give a credit card to reserve but can cancel up to 24 hours in advance.

    Is it fun for a birthday celebration? Do they have music on Thursday night?

    It is perfect for a birthday! Beautiful spot, good food, nice atmosphere, and they do have live music many nights of the week and a live jazz band during Sunday afternoons. I would call to double check Thursdays. Open until 2 AM daily.

    What type of music is played in the outside bar?

    On weekends we have been there is a lovely 5 piece Big Bang style. It's quite lovely!

    Do they have Saturday brunch?

    Yes starts at 11

    Do they have parking?

    Yea free valet in the garage only for Margot patrons. I guess just tip payment if you please.

    Do you allow dogs during brunch?

    Yes, I have been there with my dog, a big doberman, and they welcomed her with love and fresh water. We sat outside though, and normally that's the rule, dogs have to be outside. But it's a rooftop so you will enjoy being outdoors!

    Do they only take reservations or can you just walk in?

    Seating areas in the bar for walk ins.

The pasta was insanely good, especially the carbonara was out of this world. And to end with tiramisu and a super reasonable bill. 11/10! Will be back

    We come here once a week - my wife and I and our 18 month old daughter. It is in such a beautiful…read morelocation and the food is just so consistently delicious. The ragu, the crema and the steak tartare are our favourites! In terms of service - there are two amazing people I'd particularly like to praise. Angel is perhaps the happiest waiter on the planet - I challenge you to find a time when he isn't smiling. Such a pleasure to have him at your table side. And Paulina is perhaps the hardest working, most efficient manager you'll ever come across. There is never a moment when she isn't bustling around, getting things done. You can see she's under enormous pressure with the amount of customers that are constantly coming through, but she is just on top of everything. Comes over to every table, wants to ensure everything is perfect all the time. An example - yesterday we arrived after having waited an hour for our table, there were 6 of us including our toddler - she could see we wanted to order ASAP so she just came over and without taking notes, we reeled off the 9 dishes we wanted, and she recited everything back to us perfectly, coursed it out, and said she'd get the toddler's plate out immediately. If I ever was to set up a restaurant, she'd be who I'd choose to run it, that's for sure. Thanks Uovo!

    I now completely understand why this place is always empty when I walk by…read more I had such a great experience during my first visit that I returned six days later. There was a male server there this time. I asked for the same thing I got last time - a bianca slice. He was very confused, so I showed him a picture of the pizza that i ordered during my last visit as well as the receipt from that day. He said something about there not being a button for that, and I said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be a problem because the lady from before made it look so easy." He "yeah, yeah, yeah'd" me and then muttered something else under his breath. Oook... So, the pizza comes out with a red sauce. He puts a lid on it, and as he's pinching the container closed, I mention how the Bianca isn't supposed to have a red sauce on it. He dismissively nods to what I've said, and starts to hand me the pizza. As I reach out to take the incorrectly made dish, I say, "actually, I don't like red sauce which is why I ordered a white pizza. Can I please get it without the sauce?" He gets visibly annoyed, says something under his breath, disappears into the kitchen, and they remake it. When the new pizza comes out, he literally tosses a plastic cover on it then points to it. Confused, I start to pinch it closed myself. For some reason, it's having trouble closing it and he just watches me struggle with it and doesn't offer to help. So I ask him to close it for me. He does it begrudgingly and he struggles to close it too, but by this time, I'm just glad that I can get out of there. Once I leave and try the pizza, it's a far cry from the pizza I had six days prior. Tasted completely different - it was missing the garlic. So, now, I completely understand why this place is never busy. Terrible service and inconsistent food. I still can't believe the way he threw the lid onto the container then pointed at it... One star for the pizza six days prior. As wonderful as the female server was during my previous visit, I'll never be back. Skip this one.
