This continues to be a consistent and predictable place to dine. The prices are a bit on the high side, but recognizing the logistical and other complications of functioning in this location (and that admission to the museum continues to be without charge), the "value proposition" seems quite in place. The view is marvelous, and the tranquility (inside the restaurant or provided by the pleasant gaze) is highly-valued. The meals are sufficiently prepared and well-served by an efficient and enthusiastic staff. The dining (and restroom facilities) are extremely clean in appearance. Kudos for that! Our server, Arwen, was professional, attentive, and clearly well-experienced and knowledgeable regarding her profession Brava! In many ways, she ensured that a "good experience" became a "great one," in the eyes of the guests. DO make an Open Table reservation! There were times during our visit when every table was full, and though the dining room is spacious, it has a large number of tables (all of them lovely and well-set, though we always request one by a window with a water view).

The restaurant at the Getty is a beautiful space and obviously in a marvelous location. We truly enjoyed our Easter lunch there. If I had one suggestion I would say that they need to have more healthy choices on the menu. I will definitely be back though. It’s hard to find more beautiful surroundings!

Service was fair at best. We had to ask for everything. Food came out quickly. The warm popovers were cold, the short rib hash was overcooked, and not tender. The chocolate dessert was a deconstructed mess. Food was expensive for the quantity. I loved the restaurant a couple of years ago. I will not go back.

The cheese plate was so much different than 5 years ago. And the fish wasn’t boneless. It was really bad experience compared to 5 years ago.
