The Scene
California haute cuisine in a Richard Meier room overlooking the City of Angels--does it get any better? Oh yeah, and there's the art. White curves, glass walls and high ceilings create gorgeous modern dining space--all overlooking an unrivaled panorama of L.A. and surrounding Santa Monica mountains.
The Food
Elegant, modern California cuisine from Chef Anthony Jacquet fits in perfectly with the Getty's setting, which strives to contextualize itself within the L.A. experience. The lunch menu's star exhibitor is the lobster risotto, resplendent and complex with sweet, tender claw meat, fresh vegetables, basil and preserved lemon. Free-range chicken breast is stuffed with aromatic goat cheese and shiitake mushrooms, and maple glazed Tasmanian salmon perches haughtily, aspiring to Richard Meier, on diced potatoes, rich with green garlic aioli and rappini. The delicate pear and hazelnut Napoleon is the perfect coda. Dinner entrees include venison medallions, Muscovy duck and pan roasted arctic char.
