The Restaurant is located in the Restaurant/Cafe building (upstairs from the cafeteria). The Restaurant offers full service in an elegant setting with views of the Santa Monica Mountains. Menus do change seasonally and the restaurant is opened for dinner service during summer.
I've passed by The Restaurant many times, but never thought about dining here. They have a pretty prestigious menu that compliments the art pieces you can find at the museum. Everything we had was fantastic.
Pepper Tomato Gazpacho - Recommended to open your palate.
Mission IPA
I think I had 3 slices of bread. Incredible with the soft butter served alongside.
Beet Hummus - Toasted Cumin, Cilantro Pistou with Pappadam Crisps. ADDICTING.
BBQ Flat Bread - Grilled Flatbread, smoky barbeque pulled pork, white cheddar, arugula and red onions.
Rucola con Pecorino arugula, crisp apple, applewood smoked salami shaved pecorino toscano, white balsamic
SUMMER FRUIT PANZANELLA marinated mozzarella, wild rocket, torn croutons, pistachio honey balsamic. Seasonal Peaches and cherries were the summer fruits of the day. Delicious.
Crudo scallop, garlic oil, capers, tomato coulis fresno pepper
Chefs take on Pozole. PORK LOIN - Hominy, ancho puree, papaya cabbage slaw, cilantro. One of my favorite dishes.
PRIME FILET OF BEEF - potato pancake, spicy sweet glaze, crispy onion, pickled vegetables.
Prawns Pomodoro - locally milled wheat pasta, heirloom tomatoes garlic, basil
Dessert
Perfect restaurant to go for a special occasion or just to treat yourself to a nice meal before or after walking the Getty.
