    We walked in hoping for an experience that would be beyond our experience at Meteora, which itself was sensational. Happy to say our experience surpassed our expectations and it was an incredible meal. Every aspect from the building itself, the service team members and the food was exceptional. Like Meteora, Vespertine offered incredibly diverse and mindblowing plates which were locally sourced. We also paired our dishes with the nonalcoholic drink pairing, and it's easily the most unique pairing of drinks/teas/sodas we've ever had. The team at Vespertine have every right to be proud of their work and accomplishments

    I dined at noon at NOE before my Opera perfomance which I usually do. The place is quiet which I like, the food is good and super reasonably priced, although a bit higher than several months ago. The service is always consistently excellent, responsive and caring! I had the Papardelle with scallops and it was delicious. They also always have my favorite Pinot Noir by Meiomi! I was a bit disappointed, however because LA Opera advertised a special Magic Flute cocktail for eating here and it was not available for lunch, but only dinner! Overall, I reommend this venue as I often come here and if I want to work, I can eat and do both!
