LA’s Best Fine Dining — Somni, the Next Three Michelin Stars 🌟

Somni recently reopened — super hot, super hard to book! Now they release reservations for the following month on the 3rd of each month via OpenTable. The experience was simply incredible — way above any other Michelin-starred spot in LA. They previously held two stars, and after this visit, I can confidently say their dish design, presentation, and service far surpass other two-star restaurants here. I’m convinced it’ll become LA’s only three-star restaurant next year. Their head chef previously worked at elBulli in Spain — I’ve always had a soft spot for Spanish chefs. 🇪🇸🙌😘 Located in West Hollywood with complimentary valet — a classy touch. You’re first led into a small courtyard at the entrance, where several amuse-bouches are served. Once everyone finishes, guests are guided into the main dining room one by one.😂💕 Our tasting menu had 15 courses, though they seem to be fine-tuning the dishes — I’ve seen slight menu variations online. Some earlier reviews mentioned the beef main course wasn’t great, but ours was perfectly tender and cooked just right — likely improved since then. Overall, it was a truly stunning meal. Every dish was beautifully plated — one standout was a tartare covered in tiny flowers, arranged meticulously with tweezers like a delicate experiment. Each course felt thoughtfully designed, though flavors leaned toward the bold side.👍😁 Service was exceptionally polished — even the pace of plate placement was synchronized across all tables. My only regret was not getting the pairing. I saw the non-alcoholic pairing at the next table and it looked fantastic — highly recommend adding it!😊💕 After the meal, the chef came out to chat with each table, asking for feedback — a thoughtful personal touch. The tasting menu is $495 per person, but for this level of food and service in LA, it’s absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be back for another visit soon. #HiddenGem #LARestaurants #LAMichelin #MichelinDining #SpanishMichelin #LAFoodGuide
