About the restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, 3 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

Somni features an extensive tasting menu and offers seatings at both the Chef's Counter and private dining room.

Somni's 400-selection wine list highlights top producers from Spain and California as well as some of our favorite bottlings from around the world. Corkage is $150 per 750 ml (limit 2 bottles per party) for bottles not on our list. Contact us at info@somnirestaurant.com to inquire about bringing your own bottle.

Two simple wooden doors open up to quite a buzz in an otherwise romantic courtyard, where a colorful crowd hangs at the bar and lingers at coveted patio tables. Inside, seats spread throughout the candlelit house-turned-restaurant with intimate furniture. Organic seasonal ingredients, creatively prepared and impeccably presented, characterize our unique menu.

My visit to Mood was an absolute delight. The food was exceptional, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Service was fast and genuinely thoughtful — the team didn’t just suggest the most popular dishes, but really took the time to understand what would be the best fit for me personally. That level of care made the experience truly unforgettable. Now that they’ve got their alcohol license, the selection of cocktails is a fantastic bonus — delicious and guaranteed to lift your mood. I’ll definitely be back and confidently recommend Mood to everyone!
