Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Calabasas

We have been coming to Mistral for over 30 years, and it has never disappointed. The service is always great, the food is consistently delicious, and we are welcomed like old friends, even if we had taken a long break between visits, as was necessitated by having a newborn And having to eat in family type restaurants for his first 10 years. Even then, we would make sure we got in a visit to Mistral at least three times a year. Prior to that we dined here pretty much weekly. We always joke that it’s our little Manhattan bistro in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Great date night spot!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at this beautiful restaurant in the famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel! Everything was delicious, from the French onion soup, steak frites and the pear tartlet dessert! I highly recommend this glamorous restaurant!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

I had high expectations and they were exceeded. Every dish was delicious and unique, and the service was great.

I made a reservation for 4pm so that my wife and I could see the sunset @ 4:47pm. The view was amazing. Compliments to Chef 👩🏻‍🍳 Kate!! Food was delicious and unique, everything had its own twist as far as sauces, spices, and garnishes. It was our 24th anniversary and our first time visiting this restaurant. We live about an hour and a half away, but it was so worth the trip!!
