Best Historic Restaurants in South Los Angeles

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Somerville. From the moment my friends and I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. We started with the Parker House Rolls and Fried Chicken and Caviar Sliders which was a perfect balance of flavors and beautifully presented. For the main course, we had the wagyu strip lion, braised bacon, baked mac and cheese, fingerling potatoes, mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts and the pan seared ora king salmon in which we all shared and it was out of this world. The flavors, textures, or ingredients were perfectly executed, and the portion size was generous without feeling overwhelming. I couldn’t resist trying the manjari torte to finish off the meal, and I’m so glad we did—it was the perfect sweet ending. The drinks were also top-notch. My friends had the mighty river and the a love supreme and it paired wonderfully with the food. You can really tell that the chefs and staff care about the entire dining experience. Overall, Somerville is a must-visit if you're in the area. The food, service, and ambiance all come together for an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to return!

Food was fantastic! I very much enjoyed my glass of bambino, grain bowl salad, and chocolate fondant dessert. Deducting one star as service was slow (it was a busy night but it was even slow for a busy night).

Great food. Excellent service. We were shown to our table promptly. Our waiter notified us of the pending delivery of fresh Dover soles which we ordered immediately and gave us perfect recommendations to pair with the wine for the rest of the courses. The food was staged perfectly. Every dish was beautiful and delicious, from appetizers to dessert.

the overall experience was positive with multiple dishes prepared that I would never ever order. It was fun

We were happy with the food. We, four ladies, are foodies that love to share and taste everything together. Especially when we are celebrating one our Birthday. Must mention about the wonderful server that had great conversation too. Thank you for the lovely dinner.
