Best Live Music Restaurants in West Los Angeles

Greeting, I had never heard of LAVO until I saw it on Instagram. It was my first visit at LAVO LA. I was celebrating my birthday. It was absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. You guys are doing a great job! Connie - Tiara64 💕

The staff at is amazing—A+ all the way. They’re super accommodating, friendly, and make you feel well taken care of. We had the wagyu Bolognese, and it was incredible. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, with the wagyu beef adding an extra level of indulgence. The crab salad was fresh and light, with the perfect balance of citrus and herbs to bring out the natural sweetness of the crab. For the main course, we shared the Large Seabass with Tomatoes, Capers, and Potatoes, and it was outstanding. The fish was flaky and tender, with a crispy skin, and the tomatoes and capers added a nice tangy touch. The potatoes tied it all together with a comforting, hearty feel. I can’t leave out the oysters—they were so fresh and briny, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the lobster pasta? Hands down one of my favorites. The lobster was juicy and generous, and the creamy sauce made every bite heavenly. This is now one of my go-to spots. The food, the service, the whole experience—it’s all excellent. Highly recommend!

There was a beautiful table, generous cocktails, and a delicious dinner. But the topper is that I did not finish my dinner; it was beautifully packaged and placed in a black take-out bag for me. I forgot the bag when leaving the restaurant. I was walking down San Vicente, and I heard someone calling my name. It's Quentin, our waiter, bringing me my leftovers. Amazing, above-and-beyond-service. Baltaire is in my top five restaurants in LA. Quentin, thank you again.

So many staples in Westwood have closed since the pandemic, so we had shifted to restaurants in the San Fernando Valley before going to the Geffen Playhouse, but decided to try Wolfsglen last night for the 1st time. Am very pleased to say we have found our new "go to"! Food was exceptional (best Caesar I have ever had) and the seared salmon prepared perfectly (and there are so many ways to mess up salmon). My friend had the artichoke pizza, which would not have been top of list for me, but she had me try it and it too was delicious. Wine options were relatively few but of high quality so we unusually had two glasses each. Service was also exceptional, felt attended to without being overly interrupted, offered a not-on-the-menu side salad when I asked about their salad size as I wanted a salad ahead of the main course, and more. Noise volume and energy increased during the meal, and it got hard to hear each other along the way, but worth it all around and just might find a corner table next time. Will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family.

Food was amazing. DJ was on point definitely would recommend this place from your 20s to your 40s. Great ambience great food.!!
