Best Californian Restaurants in Westlake

Beautiful rooftop; Mexican riviera ambiance. Nice assortment of shareable food items and drink selections. Warm heat lamps, not noisy but with eclectic music playing. Great views and easy parking! Reservations recommended

Give them five star. Very good customer service. Very welcoming, accommodating, great ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place.

Ah, Manual LA, the hidden gem nestled in the vibrant art district where parking is a bit challenging ! Who doesn't love a limited-time weekend affair where reservations are as essential as your morning coffee? Trust me, you'll want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the dreaded waitlist of doom. As for the menu, prepare to be swept off your feet by the ocean trout tartare – it's a love letter to seafood that even Poseidon would approve of. The burrata is a creamy delight with delight cucumber that will make you question why you've ever eaten anything else. And then, there's the French toast, a carbohydrate devil that could easily moonlight as dessert. If you're someone who finds carbohydrates utterly captivating (and let's be honest, who isn't?), Manual LA is your carb-laden paradise.

The restaurant was beautiful and airy. I loved al the plants and they are so meticulously cared for. Our server wasn’t good. He didn’t refill my tea, he didn’t refill waters, he didn’t come see us and it was until the manager came to check on us on her own that we had refills and hot sauce brought to us by her. Also his hygiene in his mouth needs more care as his foul breath could be smelled. I would come back here again but would hope not to get him again. Also the food was great. We had eggs Benedict with ham and salmon and the potatoes are just yummy. Hubby had steak and eggs.

A very unique experience! My husband and I celebrated our ten year anniversary here and it felt like we were visiting another world all-together. The ambiance with its ethereal music and beautiful art yarn tapestry draping from the ceilings surrounded by plants and vines, transported us from our normal lives. Our seven-course-meal was wonderful and appreciated tastes and textures we've never had before. We walked away mesmerized and our bellies full!
