Plateia

Great food and service

Perfect evening! Everything was beautifully presented anc delicious. We were not rushed. The setting was ideal.

Profoundly poor service, food came out wrong and late, food server unfamiliar with the menu, no refilling of water, overpriced.

Everything about Plateia was exceptional except the service. Beautiful courtyard setting, all of the dishes we had were excellent quality and since it is a non-tipping restaurant, it offers tremendous value. I believe the waitress we were assigned was new; I don't think she was ready to be on her own. It took almost 15 minutes to get her attention to order wine and an appetizer. It took her another 15 minutes to bring out the wine, and she had to have another waiter open the bottle because she did not know how. She was not familiar with the menu and could not make recommendations. Wouldn't be a problem for an inexpensive chain restaurant, but Plateia offers great cuisine at premium prices ($30-50/entree) and should offer better.

Wonderful setting. Excellent food and personable servers. Like all venues post-COVID they’re struggling to find more staff. Although service has not been compromised, staff are running ragged and wait time for that service is a bit longer than usual. Be patient! This oasis in Westwood is worth a visit.

The wait-time to get the dinners we ordered was way too long. Possibly understaffed in the kitchen.

The patio seating is a nice space to enjoy a quite dinner.

Great find! Large patio with heaters, food is excellent, service good and excellent drinks.

Always excellent food and service

We absolutely love Plateia!

Plateia is consistently a great place to dine on campus. The outside patio in particular is welcoming to groups, pairs, and the solo diner. Service personnel are pleasant. The kitchen can be a little slow so order first and then gab. The food is excellent.

Hands down, Plateia is the best restaurant on the Westside. It's so beautiful and the food is outstanding.

Excellent food and service, loved it, Great for lunch.

A perfect, long, leisurely celebration dinner for two on a Thursday night. We can recommend an outside table for a lovely summer meal - we split and loved the Strawberries & burata (ask for the olive oil/balsamic/salt/pepper tray - really enhanced the dish, the yummy Spanish Pizza, 'The' Burger (*perfectly* cooked to order) with fries, and the Basque Cheesecake - it mentions goat cheese but it's a light addition and perfectly fresh/summery.
Every bite of everything was delicious. We'll be back.

We went for a small retirement evening dinner. The food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the ambiance perfect on a warm summer evening. This is truly a magical place for a special occasion.

Outdoor seating well spaced. Not rushed through our meal. Friend recommends the charred octopus :). THE burger was also fantastic.

Service is outstanding, food is always perfect.
Hostess station and manager could be a bit friendlier!

Nestled on the UCLA campus, the outdoor dining experience, babbling fountain and seating under the lovely olive trees, can not be beat. We live here so we can enjoy environments like this. A lovely spot for any meal.

The courtyard is a tranquil environment for a meal.

We just love Plateia! We often go for brunch on Saturday or Sunday. The beautiful patio suits our Golden Retreiver to a tee. They even bring her water and treats! The food is always delicious and the service is gracious, warm, and welcoming. Thank you Plateia!

Excellent quality
Tasty and well presented
Wait staffs are attentive

Excellent food and outstanding service . One of the best secrets in LA

We love Plateia. The atmosphere, food, and service are just wonderful!

Lovely as always. Looking forward to going there for a long time to come.

Great for any occasion. Enjoy the indoor outdoor option

Always nice to eat here. Courteous staff, nice courtyard with well lit olive trees. Food was tasty. I like the no hassle service tipping required.

Probably due to the pandemic, it appeared that they were short staffed. As a result, the whole experience was slow. The food in particular took a very long time to come out. That being said, the atmosphere is very nice, the staff is working hard and well intentioned, and the food was good. I could do without the "thumpy" club background music. They need to find something else that is more appropriate. Silence is always a refreshing choice. No one is there to dance.

Beautiful garden settings with lush succulents, peaceful architecture, great service, delicious and wide variety of foods, wine list and cocktails. A great date night! Fresh air and heaters for the Westside chilly nights. Delightful.

Great place for a quiet and leisurely breakfast. Good quality food and pretty high levels of service.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Moroccan Pancakes and Turkish coffee. Service was efficient and friendly.

We waited 50 minutes for our food to arrive. We were the only ones in the restaurant other than 1 person. No excuse for food to take that long. One dinner arrived cold, pizza tasteless, hardly any cheese and cold. I complained to the manager, we were comped all 3 meals, plus desert on them. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My daughter and I enjoyed our delicious lunch of Greek Salad with grilled shrimp {dressing & feta on the side} and Hummus with ground lamb and fresh pita on the patio. The Greek salad vegetables were fresh and crisp and made a hearty lunch with the grilled shrimp. My daughter, a food aficionado, was pleasantly surprised by the combination of perfectly seasoned ground lamb on a plate of hummus paired with the still-warm, freshly herbed pita bread.

Our server was friendly, attentive, and professional. We lingered for nearly an hour enjoying the sun, drinks, and conversation. Not only was the food presentation beautiful, the luncheon was a wonderful outdoor eating experience as we slowly emerge from COVID restrictions.

Reservations are recommended, which we were able to easily book online at OpenTable the evening before our lunch.

We look forward to dining there again!

As usual this place is great for breakfast/lunch/dinner. the food & service are amazing. Highly recommend it!

Lovely way to spend a quiet Sunday morning.

Birthday, told waitress to bring something and she did not

All the menu items were simple but well-prepared with fresh ingredients. Ambiance is great and the service was equally as strong.

It all trned out great but we made a 12:30 reseveration and got thre at 12:30 I was told there would be a 30 to 35 minute wait. I had called twice to make sure we could be seated outside with umbrella because we had a dog Waiting with a dog for a long time is not okay Its summer, hot and we could not eat inside. Harry ended up helping us and all was fine but that should not happen

Always a winner!! My favorite courtyard restaurant.

Excellent service and food. Modern Tuscan atmosphere. Enjoyed it!

I had to cancel service because one of my guests arrived too ill to stay (Vertigo)
Staff was most gracious in cancelling our order before it was served.

Plateia is my go-to restaurant now.
