Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

Have been to LAVO more than 5 times now, with that being said I know how the service normally is. Our server was way below standard and expectation. The server assistant Solomon is the only reason I’m giving the service such a high rating. He really turned our night around. He made sure to check in on us and was having great conversation the entire dinner which we really appreciated. We were just three celebrating my birthday and we all are big foodies. The food as always was incredible. We got the beef carpaccio, burrata, calamari, yellowtail tartar and the crudo as appetizers which were all amazing. I also know that they normally bring out a little dish “from the chef” with some vegetables and a delicious olive oil which I saw other tables get and we did not which I was disappointed since I know how fantastic that olive oil is- we even bought some the last time we were in! Entrees we all shared- the ribeye, filet, vodka pasta and the tortilini which were all phenomenal! The steaks are paired with grilled garlic cloves, tomatoes and lemon which really adds to the dishes. The pastas were delicious as always! Thank you to Solomon for helping make our night special!

Great food , service and prices . Indoor and outdoor . Easy parking on the street

The views are absolutely incredible. It’s feeling like a total vacation world away just taking my mom for lunch for her birthday!

Fabulous service and fabulous food. we can’t wait to go back again very soon.

Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
