 The Restaurant at The Getty Center Restaurant Review: If you're visiting the Center and simply must dine more elegantly than at its various caféterias and food carts, book a table at its stunningly modern, starched white restaurant. What you'll get for your (top) dollar are table settings worthy of a museum and beautiful-to-behold contemporary cuisine presentations. In addition, the view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. With executive chef Mayet Cristobal and restaurant chef Matt Lee at the helm, expect top quality coming from the kitchen. Appetizers include quail stuffed with wild mushroom and Asiago, and Dungeness crab cakes paired with smoked paprika aïoli, while entrées feature a flat-iron steak with Yukon Gold whipped potatoes, and rainbow trout with crispy pancetta and verjus. End your meal with the pear and apple galette with Calvados ice cream, or enjoy your dessert in liquid form with a specialty cocktail such as the blueberry cheesecake martini with a graham cracker rim.
