LA Michelin ๐๐ Vespertine โ An Experience Over a Meal
After reopening in 2024, Vespertine has regained its two Michelin starsโbut for me, the experience was more conceptual than culinary.๐ The tasting menu felt unremarkable in flavor, with no truly standout dishes. Service pacing was rushed, which took away from the immersive atmosphere they aim to create. ๐ฝ๏ธโก That said, the multi-sensory journey is still unique: youโre first guided through the architecturally striking kitchen, then led upstairs to the minimalist dining area, and finally finish with dessert on the ground floor. Itโs more about art, space, and sequence than purely about the food.๐ If youโre looking for a thought-provoking, avant-garde dining experience, Vespertine delivers atmosphere and intrigue. But if you prioritize exceptional flavor and relaxed service, this might not fully satisfy. ๐ Vespertine 3599 Hayden Ave, Culver City, CA 90232 #VespertineLA #MichelinStarLA #CulverCityEats #FineDining #AvantGardeDining #LAFoodExperience #TwoStarReview #ConceptOverCuisine #LARestaurants #EatWithYourSenses #NotForEveryone #DiningAsArt #LAFoodDiary
