About the restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, previously 2 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Chef Zabala will redefine Somni as a personal, transportive, and emotive experience for guests, reflective of his Catalan heritage and love of Southern California which he now calls home.

Somni features an extensive tasting menu and offers seatings at both the Chef's Counter and private dining room.

Somni's 400-selection wine list highlights top producers from Spain and California as well as some of our favorite bottlings from around the world. Corkage is $150 per 750 ml (limit 2 bottles per party) for bottles not on our list. Contact us at info@somnirestaurant.com to inquire about bringing your own bottle.
Due to Somni's unique menu, we unfortunately cannot accommodate dietary restrictions, including gluten, dairy, egg, gelatin, nut allergies, or vegan, vegetarian, and no meat/seafood diets.

Phenomenal dining experience. The restaurant decor is just beautiful from the heated outdoor patio to the dining room. The food was absolutely delicious, each dish had a stunning presentation. Service and hospitality was world class. The delivery of each course was carefully choreographed and executed.

It’s a small and cozy restaurant with magnificent food and an owner who makes you feel like family. Try their pastas which they are the best but, whatever you order, you won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget the dessert, the panna cotta is delicious.
