I've heard and seen a lot about this restaurant and it definitely lived up to the hype. Immediately walking in, the ambiance and decorations were stunning and the service was even better. Everything was good but the pancakes specifically were the best especially because it was different than normal but definitely left me wanting me. We celebrated a birthday and they made sure the love was felt during our time there! read more

Came here for our 5 year anniversary. Delightfully surprised. The food choices are insane. My fiance and I couldn't choose between a lot of the items bc we wanted to try everything. I was so happy I chose this spot for us because even the apps looked so good. Next time we come we're going to try the items we didn't get. We got 3/4 apps, 2 mains and 3 sides. Major foodies! Also got 2 rounds of drinks. The waiter Eve or Ava very kind and paitent. Was helpful choosing my cocktail. She was attentive and kind. They also gave us a complimentary dessert and note for our celebration. I enjoyed the vibe of the place. Every staff member was non stop working and knew their roles very well. It's great to see a big staff working well together. Def coming back and recommending to others. read more

Ysabel - New American Near Me - West Hollywood, California

A very trendy restaurant in WeHo- beautiful ambiance both indoors and outdoors! We sat outdoors in the patio area and the lights, trees, service, and decor made it such a pleasant dining experience. I loved the salmon curry dish that I got, very perfectly cooked and came with a good portion of vegetables and rice. It is one of those spots where I wish that I'd been more full after the meal for the amount of money I spent, but that's just sort of inevitable at restaurants like this. I believe they rotate out their menu items pretty frequently, so there's always something new to try here. read more

parking: i chose to do the valet parking based on the other reviews, out of convenience ambiance: i went on a tuesday night at 9:45 pm reservation and everyone was seated outside or the indoor bar. the outside is really pretty with two large trees and string lights around, which is perfect ambiance lighting! food: for 1 appetizer, 2 main courses, and 1 drink the total was around $135,, the portions are not that big so would definitely recommend at least 1 main course per person and perhaps split an appetizer or two! (for reference the lobster ravioli had 5 pieces) we got the sophia drink, recommended by our server & other yelp reviews but it wasn't rly our vibe, more on the alcohol tasting side, not as fruity/sweet as expected. wagyu yakitori had perfect flavor and tenderness, served with mushrooms that soak up the flavor and sauce really well! lobster ravioli was rly good, had a citric sauce (if you have a liking for sour flavor palate) the steak was perfectly cooked & everything on the plate (grilled onion & salad) + chimichurri definitely complimented the steak my gf and i were seated right away, even though we came a little early, but also it wasn't crowded at this time. the tables around us didn't order any food, just drinks,, so it's a nice place to have some drinks and catch up with your friends, or a birthday meal if you want to dress up nice and have delectable food! i would def come back to try different dishes! read more

Ysabel knew what they were doing with that Hand Cut Rigatoni!!! It was delicious and amazing and the pasta sauce was amazing ! The noodles were cooked to perfection! The lobster ravioli was good, but the Rigatoni was the star of the night. Our waitress was a sweet heart and the service was great! I loved the vibes! Perfect for photos. I enjoyed my night. Thank you Ysabel for a memorable evening ! read more

This place is a whole vibe... like curated chaos but in the best way. Lighting's soft, everything feels expensive but not loud about it. The kind of spot where you could see a lowkey celeb sipping wine in the corner... or your coolest friend from college trying to soft launch a relationship. We came in six deep... and they handled it smooth. No attitude, no long wait. Our server was cool--attentive but not overbearing. Knew the menu, gave solid suggestions, and actually let us chill without rushing courses. Food-wise? It's up. We started with the spicy tuna tartare--clean, fresh, slight kick. Not drowned in sauce like some spots do. Came with these crispy rice bites that held up without turning into bricks. Balanced bite every time. Brussels sprouts were wild... crispy on the outside with this slightly sweet glaze that gave just enough attitude. You could tell they didn't just roast them and pray--they got tossed and treated right. The vodka pasta with added chicken? Sleeper hit. Pasta had that proper al dente pull... sauce was creamy, a little tomato tang, nothing overly heavy. Chicken was juicy--not dry or thrown on as an afterthought. You could tell it was seasoned, cooked, and finished in the pan. It belonged there. Fries? Fire. Golden, crispy, hit with a little sea salt. Could've been a throwaway but instead felt like a flex. We came for wine and cocktails, and the bar didn't miss. Good pours, everything balanced, and flavors that didn't just lean sweet. Even the ice cubes were cut right. It's the little things. Bathroom was clean--big mirror, no weird smells, lighting strong enough to check your fit and bounce. Ysabel is one of those places that delivers across the board... energy, service, and food that actually earns the price. It's giving Insecure Season 3 energy... Issa and Molly post-glow-up, ordering apps, sipping wine, and ignoring texts. Sophisticated but still got flavor. You'll wanna come back before you even leave. read more

I've been to Ysabel multiple times but sat at the bar for the first time tonight & the service was horrible. The bartender was extremely rude, entitled, & dismissive. I've read other reviews & they also seem to note similar sentiments about the bartenders being rude. I will not continue to support this establishment because they don't seem to care about their customers. read more

We came here for our anniversary, very cute place. The ambience was great, and the romantic vibe but also some sections were great for friend gathering. Food was great! We ordered this feta dip delicious, creamy w the hot honey was fantastic. We also ordered the ginger salad, which was delicious, crunchy, and had a spicy kick to it. Rigatoni pasta was fresh and delicious! Drinks I wasn't too impressed with, the Scarlett drink was like a spitzer, not a cocktail, not recommended at all. The Sophia was okay, and catcus was a good one. Service was a bit on the slow side it took them forever to get our drinks in. Overall, it's a good place! read more

The food itself was good, which is the only reason this is not a zero-star review. Unfortunately, Yelp does not allow that option. The service, particularly from management, completely overshadowed what was meant to be a special evening. We came for my birthday dinner with an 8:00 PM reservation. Earlier that evening, we called to let the restaurant know we were running slightly late and were told there was a strict 15-minute grace period and that punctuality was essential. Despite this, we were not seated until roughly 30 minutes after our reservation time. While waiting patiently, I checked in at the host stand around 8:25 to ask for an update and was told that the party at our table had already been seated for over three and a half hours, that there was no way to estimate when they would leave, and that the restaurant was not able to ask them to vacate the table. We were told we would simply have to wait until they chose to get up. This explanation was frustrating on its own, but even more confusing given that I have since read other reviews describing guests being seated late and then told they would need to be finished within a set time window. That inconsistency made the situation feel less like a firm policy and more like selective enforcement. Shortly after, a manager approached me and said, "Anxious to sit down, are we?" This comment felt dismissive and unnecessary, especially given the circumstances and the fact that this was a birthday celebration. As the night continued, additional issues arose. Drinks took approximately 35 minutes to arrive, and one martini was warm and overly diluted. My friend politely asked if it could be remade. Instead of handling this quietly, the situation escalated when management returned to tell my friend that the server felt he had been rude. He immediately apologized and explained that was not his intention. He simply wanted the drink corrected. As the interaction concluded, the manager told my friend that he "hopes he has as lovely a night as he is," which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. After this interaction, our server never returned to check on our table, with no follow-up on drinks, food, or how everything was going. We had ordered a tomahawk steak for the table, requested medium rare leaning more toward medium, and it arrived purple and raw, completely inedible. A second manager, the general manager, later came over and was equally dismissive, doubling down rather than acknowledging the multiple service breakdowns. I have dined here before and previously experienced much better service, which made this evening especially disappointing. The issue was not a single mistake, but the way multiple managers communicated throughout the night. The tone was consistently dismissive and condescending, escalating situations that could have been resolved simply and respectfully. There are many expensive restaurants in Los Angeles where you can spend the same amount of money and be treated with respect, made to feel comfortable, and actually enjoy your night. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. read more

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday at Ysabel, a beautiful restaurant in my neighborhood. When we entered, we were impressed but that soon faded when the hostess said a customer with your same last name canceled your reservation. Since the restaurant was near empty, we were seated quickly by a beautiful tree. Then we met our waitress -a woman who is pushier than a car salesman. I don't know if this is how Ysabel trains their employees to sell sell sell or it's just her. I've never experienced this level of pushing at a restaurant. She recommended the most expensive dishes on the menu (no surprise), kept pushing for us to add drinks, more sides and appetizers. Meanwhile nobody came back to refill water. We ordered the fried calamari, lemon pasta (added burrata), scallops, orange olive oil cake, Cabernet and the grapefruit beer. The calamari was tasty but the portion was very small. The lemon pasta was good and of an adequate size. The $40+ scallops came with 4 pieces (2 of which were overcooked); our pushy salesman of a waitress lied and told us 5 pieces when we ordered. This restaurant does not provide any birthday treats even if you order a bunch of food and drinks. We ordered the orange olive oil cake. The flavor was good but the consistency reminded me of over-baked, weeks-old, stale cornbread. You need all the whip cream and drizzled honey to be able to chew this rock. Oh I forgot to mention she gave us our bill as she delivered the cake which is in bad taste considering this place is supposed to be upscale. Even though this place is pretty and walking distance from my place, I would think twice before coming back. read more

Went to dinner on 7/12/25 with one of my friends. The female and males hostess, weren't the nicest at all, made reservations through resty. An inviting "Hello", instead of the what are you doing here "Hello" would have been better . The food could use garlic and some seasoning. Cute place , not cute vibes . read more

Ysabel - Hand Cut Rigatoni - New American Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Man I forgot our server but he was pretty cool! I didn't like my Initial drink (was spicy) but he was prompt in bringing out a new one (watermelon cocktail so good) The lobster ravioli is still my favorite entree. Starters: We tried the wagyu skewers and the shrimp. Wouldn't get it again, the skewers were okay! Shrimp was little bland. Heirloom buratta salad if definitely get again, refreshing and easy to eat. Entrees: sea bass was good, bland but healthy, I wouldn't get it again but it was okay. Lobster ravioli was so good I ordered another one to go. Server recommended a dessert it was blueberry something, crispy warm pie crust w ice cream. That was pleasant would've been good w an expresso. My third time here, I think I've always liked the ravioli or the squash ravioli. The pastas are always great. Valet charges 1$ extra for card not too bad I think every time I come here I am reminded how pretty the decor is, food quality is good but it fluctuates. Sometimes it's amazing and something's it's like eh I won't get it again but I tried. Great date night... or a girls night out. Don't be on a budget here, go all out then it'll be worth it. read more

Worth every bite and every minute of the drive. I went from OC to tryout Ysabel and it did not disappoint. I ordered Chardonnay and the rigatoni. It was delicious and it had just the right amount of everything. The restaurant is packed but intimate and the ambiance is perfect for a date night or a celebration. Also it has great areas to take pictures, and service was great. The staff were friendly and attended to guests in a timely manner read more

My daughter went here for a birthday dinner with friends. The menu doesn't show drinks or drink prices. They weren't given the option of what kind of water they could order and were given refills multiple times without them being told that it was bottled Evian. They didn't find out until the bill that 4 bottles Evian was $32!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM Don't waste your money read more

I loved the ambiance at Ysabel, it's definitely a great date spot. Everything that we ordered was amazing. Their rigatoni was probably some of the best rigatoni I've ever had!! I was pleasantly surprised by the kale Caesar salad too, the kale wasn't hard and it was seasoned well. The scallops were pan fried and not fishy at all. It almost had a sweet bite to it. I believe their olive oil cake was a seasonal item on the dessert menu, but I loved it because it wasn't too sweet. Overall I love Ysabel, will definitely be back! Only thing is you do have to pay for valet parking if you park with them. Otherwise it is street parking. read more

I would come here because the ambiance is pretty nice. There's an outdoor area covered by a sunroof, but the inside of the restaurant is filled with trees lit by fairy lights. It's definitely a really nice place to come if you have a group of 4 or less for the inside. Food here is honestly good but not super amazing. Friendly servers nothing out of the ordinary. I would definitely come visit this place for the environment and decent food. read more

Made a reservation at this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and truly enjoyed the variety the menu had to offer. I ordered the short rib tagliatelle and my husband ordered miso salmon which were both delicious. The vibe and decorations for the holidays were so so beautiful as well!

Came here for a dinner date on a Friday night and it was as cozy as always. Less overwhelmingly packed like it used to be, which was nice. The drinks and food were all great. Shoutout to the server who was so quick and honestly answered when we asked for recommendations. And the ambient is just a very nice vibe. We got the truffle fries, wagyu skewers, rigatoni pasta (spicy vodka sauce) and the kale salad. Highly recommended for either dinner or just drinks. I have to come back during the day for their brunch. read more

Romantic vibes! Amazing food! The bread was outstanding drinks were tasty as well. Will for sure visit again!

4.5 stars Had the most terrific brunch experience at Ysabel. Vibes are immaculate and food is delicious, what more could you ask for? Their patio seating is so cute and I would suggest you get a seat in that area if possible. They had a live band performing here on a Sunday afternoon, which added to the atmosphere. I loved that there were no hidden fees because you see that all the time in LA restaurants nowadays. I was shocked at how much I liked their food! Totally wasn't expecting it to be that good... we ordered: - Truffle Fries - Crispy Sesame Shrimp - Caesar Salad - Salmon Eggs Benedict - Shortrib Hash - Buttermilk Pancakes Crispy sesame shrimp, truffle fries, and buttermilk pancakes are a MUST! We saw that every table had the buttermilk pancakes so we had to try one for ourselves and we were impressed. The only downside is that there is a lot of dusty (?) white speckles coming from the tree in the patio area, which got all over my jacket and purse, and probably went on the food which went into my belly. Parking wasn't too bad, we were able to find street on Fairfax but they also have valet available. read more

1 star off for slow service and because none of the menu items were super special. Our server was extremely nice though and apologized for the slow service so I can't blame them much! But for the food, everything was good. Just not special enough to go back. We got: -ribeye -rigatoni pasta -crispy shrimp -spicy tuna tartare -hamachi crudo -lobster ravioli -broccolini -seared scallops -blueberry pie My favorites would probably be the lobster ravioli and seared scallops! One of the better scallops I've had. read more

I found out about this place from TikTok and took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The ambiance is definitely a 10/10. I love the pretty lights and feel of the entire restaurant. Service was good, the staff were very nice. We both shared the spicy tuna tartare, waygu yakitori, truffle fries and hand cut rigatoni. Personally my favorite was the waygu and rigatoni. I would say it was a bit pricey but it was overall a great experience. I would definitely come back and try their brunch someday! read more

Ysabel - Truffle Fries, Parmesan Hand Cut Rigatoni - New American Near Me - West Hollywood, California

We sat at the bar which they told us was full service. It took 15 minutes to be acknowledged and we put our full order in. The bartender was rude from the start. Food was good but we got a bottle of wine that she kept behind the bar and our glasses were empty during our main course. We were finishing up our mains when she refilled us and we asked for water and she said "okay but the bar back is busy so it's going to be a while" Water is customary when you sit so we shouldn't have had to ask in the first place but to be refused water is a first. We then asked for our check and she basically threw it at us. I haven't had service this bad maybe ever and we had high expectations for this spot so it was a bummer. read more

Our reservation was for 7pm and we arrived early and were seated right away! Our server Ella was amazing! She was super friendly and gave us recommendations.

For main dishes I ordered the flat iron steak and the chimichurri went so well with it, definitely recommend adding the Potato puree. We were seated indoors with the larger tables and it gave a very romantic vibe with dim lights. It was super cozy and a great restaurant for a birthday celebration. read more

I don't know if I went on a bad day, but the food was just awful. Wagyu skewers- Couldn't even tell it was wagyu, it was covered in this sauce that completely masked the flavor of the wagyu. Not worth it. Charcuterie Board- Some selections were nice, bread was very tough. Wouldn't get it again. Lemon spaghetti- The only thing moderately enjoyable. Very sour, very cheesy and nice. Good portion too. New york strip- Awful. Just disgusting. The meat was almost grey in color, it was extremely chewy despite us ordering it MEDIUM, funky flavor, and came with an excuse of a side of chimichurri. It tasted like blended up cilantro. The only way we could enjoy it was if we dipped it in the pasta sauce, which definitely is not how we pictured eating our EXPENSIVE steak. The vibe was cute, our server dylan was nice. Wouldn't come here ever again. Don't waste ur money here. read more

this is such a unique and pretty dinner spot. i'm not really sure what the vibes here are because some people showed up super formal but also a lot of casual diners... so definitely up to you! the restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area with trees and an architectural feel, it's perfect for a nice dinner parking - there is some street parking, but we went with the $15 valet parking. service - pretty standard service. the waiters were very accommodating as we shared our dishes. the food also came out relatively quickly. the food is on the pricier side here, but i like the variety they have wagyu yakitori - this is definitely one of the most hyped items, but it was just okay to me. if you've had satay before, this is on par with other skewered meat. it's a bit too salty for my taste. the mushroom skewers are extremely juicy though, and i liked this more than the meat. truffle fries, parmesan - these were so yummy! i loved the dipping sauce and the good amount of parmesan on top of the fries. i think thinner fries might suit this side dish better, but it's still good as is. rigatoni - so so cheesy, so delicious! it comes out piping hot and the sauce gets all up in the pasta so every bite is flavorful i definitely would come back here in the future just for the vibes! read more

The lobster ravioli is good too. My parents loved the vibes here too. read more

Ambiance was nice! Very cute date night spot. Street parking (will have to walk a block or 2 to the restaurant) or valet. The entrance is on the side of the building and isn't facing the street. Came for a friend's bday dinner so we had a larger table outside with our own server. I forgot her name (Hunter?) and she was amazing. Had the best energy and always made sure we were satisfied. I think because we were a big party the food took forever to come out.. I think about 30-40 minutes.. or maybe even an hour. I forgot. The cocktails were good, they can adjust it to your liking if you want it more sweet or less sweet. Overall, good food but overpriced- you're paying for the experience/vibes. Worth a try though!! read more

SERVICE! Especially from one person. Eduardo!!! Eduardo is phenomenal and should be given a raise for his service. He is a backwaiter and he took care of myself and my partner, better than any Michelin star or High-end restaurant I've been to. His attention to detail and his ability to care for every and any need exceeded my expectations, and made me and my partner feel so special. We are long time patrons of Ysabel, and every time we have been here ambiance and good food is expected, but what prompted me to write this review is Eduardo. Thank you for your service. read more
