Best Historic Restaurants in Studio City

We always plan a dinner here when visiting LA. This old Hollywood icon never disappoints. Food, drinks, service, and ambiance are always a delight to experience.

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!

The service was great and the decor was beautiful. Prices were a little steep which was expected. The menu was primarily seafood based. I just wish there were more pasta, chicken or meat options.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure or 10 year old girl felt like a princess for the evening! What a perfect birthday experience to remember for years to come.

I can’t say enough. Accommodating staff, great food and beautiful room
