Best Californian Restaurants in Silver Lake, Los Angeles

Great date night spot. The Ibérico with honey combination was surprisingly delicious, and while the papas bravas could use a bit more spice, the rosemary made them memorable. They were out of the white Rioja I wanted, but our server was attentive and helped us pick a great alternative. Food came out quickly, can tell the kitchen is ON IT. We’ll be back for dessert/ice cream, the tarta vasca could use some improvement, the lemon mousse added a nice touch.

Best meal! The absolutely most wonderful staff! Thank you!

Everything about Dunsmoor is great. From the moment you step into the beautifully lit stunning dining room the Team is so welcoming. Special shout out to Zoe who recommended a fantastic wine and took great care of us. Crudo is fresh and delicious. You will want to order all of the bread dips, and literally you can’t make a wrong choice. LOVE the new asparagus dish, so fresh and bright with the roe. Understood that it’s seasonal, but hope it sticks around for a while. I never order pork except at Dunsmoor where it is perfectly prepared and mouth watering no matter what the preparation. Don’t sleep on the cheddar potatoes- a highly improved version of a classic. It’s understandably hard to get a reservation- tip is to Put yourself on notify if no reservations are available and hover at the Dunsmoor Bar next-door enjoying a great glass of natural wine and a crudo with fingers crossed. It’s a fantastic back up dining plan as several of the menu items are available and they have a killer steak offered only at the bar.

Botanica offers always fresh, always creative, tasty dishes that you will find so satisfying that you will walk out the door looking at your calendar trying to plan when you’ll be back.

The ambience was so beautiful, with lots of greenery and bright colors that created such a lovely atmosphere. The bar was stunning and gave me total Bahamas vibes. Our waitress was very welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. What I appreciated the most was not feeling rushed to leave, which is something I’ve experienced at other places. My mom and I were able to enjoy and finish our drinks and the margaritas were delicious! They hosted a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch, and seeing all the moms happy and everyone smiling, especially my mom having such a great time, made the experience even more special.
