Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Hollywood

Da Barbara is my favorite restaurant in LA. Barbara and her team make every meal feel like you’re at a good friends house for the best home cooked meal of your life.

Great! I love this place. Went there for lunch and enjoyed my Cesar salad.

Second time at chi SPACCA. Both were very rewarding. First time, sat at the counter and watched these amazing chefs work. Each station doing their job to the letter. Bone marrow pie, grilled octopus, and steaks were the standouts then. This time deliberately picked other menu standouts. Grilled squid and pork loin new additions were fantastic. Both flavor profiles, first with peppers and second with sage and fennel, were next level good and worth every penny. Staff is very attentive as well. Every time I come to LA, I am coming back here.

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.

Great views and service. Food is fine if not expensive, but between the views as you when you walk through the pool area and sit down with a thematic view of the Hollywood sign, you’ll know why.
