Executive chef: Chef Jordan Kahn

MICHELIN 2 Stars2024
MICHELIN Green2024

From the OpenTable editors: Housed in an architecturally stunning structure in Culver City, Vespertine is more than a restaurant—it’s an all-out sensory experience. The choreographed 16-course meal, which takes diners through different levels of the building, weaves in music, sculpture, and scent. Chef Jordan Kahn’s highly conceptual two-MICHELIN-Starred menu pays tribute to the four regions of California through a variety of wild-foraged and regenerative ingredients.

The food was horrendous. Every plate is styled and is served with a story behind its original but the flavor and textures of the actual food was terrible. I’m not a difficult eater, but maybe one out of eleven dishes was edible. We were more disappointed with each dish. The most disappointing dining experience of our lives. The cost is just insult to injury. Do not eat here. They think elaborate plating and story telling makes up for actual taste. It put a stain on our weekend.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary here. What an experience. The attention to detail given to each dish was outstanding. We had the non alcoholic juice pairing which I highly recommend. I mean, birch juice and pine needle tea? The imagination of the chef is unbelievable and awe inspiring. Of note was a dish lined in custard and then filled with blossoms. The quail was tender with a crispy skin. The meal ended in the downstairs lounge with dessert (and the pine needle tea!). Service was impeccable. Definitely a highly recommended experience unlike no other.

It was not just a dinner, it was a whole experience, almost theatrical. I enjoyed everything. For people who are passionate about architecture, it’s definitely a must go to place. I liked the fact that there were so many dishes and all of them were small, which was enjoyable and no overeating, which happened to me in some other Micheline star restaurants. Definitely coming back.

Celebrating our wedding anniversary at Vespertine was nothing short of magical. Over the years, we've dined at multiple Michelin-starred establishments, from 1-star culinary treasures to the elite 3-star experiences. Vespertine, in our opinion, deserves to stand among the ranks of the very best with three stars. This currently two-Michelin-starred gem redefines the dining experience, delivering not just a meal, but an unforgettable journey for the senses. From the avant-garde architecture that sets the stage, to the impeccable service that leaves no detail overlooked, every moment felt like a masterpiece. The presentation of each dish was a work of art, and the exquisite flavors left us speechless. Kudos to the visionary chef Jordan Kahn and the entire staff for curating such a transcendent experience. Vespertine is more than a restaurant—it’s a symphony of creativity, passion, and culinary brilliance.

This was our first to many artsy foods experience! Everything was well thought out from the first time you even arrived at Vespertine. Staff was immaculately polite and knowledgeable. We were able to enjoy the food, debrief after every meal since every bite was either new, innovative or rather something to talk about! Kudos to Chef Kahn for his culinary masterpiece and love for his art! For those saying it is pricey, yes it is but money cannot buy the experience that you get from dining at Vespertine!
