About this restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, previously 2 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Chef Zabala will redefine Somni as a personal, transportive, and emotive experience for guests, reflective of his Catalan heritage and love of Southern California which he now calls home.

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.
Due to Somni's unique menu, we unfortunately cannot accommodate dietary restrictions, including gluten, dairy, egg, gelatin, nut allergies, or vegan, vegetarian, and no meat/seafood diets.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Aitor Zabala

From the OpenTable editors: In its second iteration, hotly anticipated tasting-menu gem Somni promises to be as experiential as ever. With just 14 seats at a wooden chef's counter (plus an intimate private dining room), acclaimed chef Aitor Zabala will blend his Catalan and Basque heritage with his connections to southern California on the menu. Expect highly imaginative and transportive dishes—a take on Spanish cuisine that earned the original Somni two MICHELIN stars.

Food does not and cannot get better than this meal. From the moment you cross the threshold into the beautiful and inspirational courtyard you know you have found your dream of a space . The ambience , the food, the presentation, the attentive warm and welcoming service, this is a meal to remember and delight in every moment of it! The wine pairings are equally extraordinary and we are blessed to have such a divine food feast available to us in Los Angeles. Grateful

Wonderful experience from the moment they open the front gate to relaxing in the patio and then finally entering the main dinning room. You’re in for a treat with their menu and creation. Service was impeccable, never been to a fine dining experience where the service was so good. You have to experience it yourself to believe. I can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommended even with the price point.

This was the best dinner I had in my life for sure. Also the most $$. That said everything was bang on. A few of the dishes to me were standouts and a few that left a little to be desired. The potion sizes are just right for the most part sometimes leaving you wanting more. The pacing, sections, and preparation are in line or above expectations for a place like this based on their pedigree. As someone who has been to multiple two Michelin star restaurants I’d say Somni ranks on top and could be poised for a 3rd with a little more refinement. It’s great to see them open again! Overall spectacular experience and we will return seasonally as the menu changes.

I’ve been to many 3 Michelin star restaurants and many fine dining establishments in the US and in Asia. The dishes were very creative but not unusually provocative or weird. The chef curated the ingredients well and did not just lazily add in expensive ingredients like gold flakes, shaved truffles, caviar, A5 wagyu or uni for the heck of it to make it feel fancy. The plating and presentation were whimsical and intricate. I loved the fun shaped cookies and delicate flowers. Textures include a lot of pastes, meringue, and wafers. The dining room was minimalistic and modern, thoughtfully designed and renovated. It looks like it belongs in architectural digest magazine or some space at the MOMA in New York. I marveled at the plates and the glassware. The chefs and servers worked in unison. The team was very in sync and served the dining room like a dance. They also made conversation with us and were very attentive but it did not feel over bearing, rehearsed, or pretentious. It was a long meal but the pacing was great and I had a wonderful time. Drink pairings were good, too. Like 8/10. I didn’t particularly love most of the wines or the NA drinks. Maybe I need to try the more premium pairing next time. I loved the portion size and the number of pours though. It left me perfectly buzzed and delighted enough to finish the meal without just passing out in a stupor. The only thing I did not like was the snacks were too delicate and broke in my hands and was way messy. Otherwise, I cannot find anything wrong with the meal, ambience, or service. Phenomenal job!

Worth it - go!!! One of our favorite recent LA restaurant experiences, even though Somni only recently reopened, the staff was like a well conducted orchestra. Shout outs to Caroline as sommelier with a kickass sense of humor, MJ who’s a bubbly charismatic ball of enthusiastic awesomeness, Brian who was delightful, informative, and funny, and all the rest of the team.

It very nice and 3 star like setting. Everyone was nice. Most of the food was a hit. Can't win it all. The wine pairing is more on light side. 7 pours for 20ish dish. So it's like sampling. If you really want to enjoy, then buy a bottle or bring your own. It's like every 10min there is a dish. You will be full. I think if the price is around $300 before getting the star. It would be perfect and then once it get some star then move to $400.
