It pains me to write a 1 star review since I really enjoyed the food and our servers were amazing. I want to make it clear that I would have given Kali 5 stars for the food, and 5 stars for the rest of the wait staff, but the one star is due to the maître d ' and hostess as I have never experienced such terrible treatment from a host let alone the maître d '. The level of immaturity exuding from him was baffling, especially when he 's representing a Michelin star restaurant. Our party was the first to arrive Friday night, right when they open, at 6pm. At the hostess stand I asked if it was protocol for the restaurant to charge my credit card to hold the reservation, because I noticed a pendi...
We were slightly worried after booking a dinner here for our belated honeymoon after reading some of the other reviews here, but Kali pulled out all of the stops. I've eaten at places owned by celebrities that taunt how many stars they have, and they don't hold a candle to Kali. We had the nine course tasting, which some complain is over priced, but this blew a $350 tasting I had elsewhere away. Decadent doesn't feel like a powerful enough descriptor for the menu the chefs put in front of my partner and I. The dishes were playful and expressive while being refined and clearly made from a place of love for the craft. I'm sorry but the 9 course tasting is and insane value for the amount of lab...

Michelin star for a reason. This spot excites the palette and takes you on a culinary journey. While they keep some staples, the menu is constantly changing per season to ensure the freshest ingredients available are used. On my visit I tried the oysters, acid tomato's (these were insanely good a sleeper), risotto (this was my favorite), sea urchin pasta (seems to be a fan favorite), scallops, main course was fish. Each as impressive as the last, everything was excellent. The techniques used, combinations of ingredients, plating stood out. This is nice sport for a special occasion because it's sure to be memorable. The service was excellent informative on all their plates whenever I had a qu...

Kali is one of those places that despite its Michelin star is highly underrated. The quality of execution in food is beyond reproach, matching its two star neighbours at Melisse and Providence. The staff service is without fault. I've now attended dinner twice. Once as a solo diner. Once as a group of 3. Both times I've left with an experience I will not forget. Each course and wine pairing is as thoughtful an immaculate as can be. Delightful on the palate and intriguing to the mind. To describe the execution as flawless is to undersell it. Kali is surely a must visit for anyone in the LA area.
Don't let the hole-in-the-wall exterior fool you as inside, a foodie heaven awaits. Kali delivers an upscale, gourmet and pricey dining experience. The staff could not be nicer or more attentive, they were all lovely. We had an incredible dining experience at Kali. We got the seasonal tasting menu and our favourites were the Ribeye, the truffle risotto and the meringue gelato, all were very tasty, flavorful and delicious. The service and food presentations made the experience quite special with gourmet food.
Amazing food. Amazing wine pairings. Amazing cocktail service. I don’t understand why this is only one Michelin star. I’ve now dined twice. Everyone has been a world class experience that rivals its two Michelin star competitors such as Cyrus, and providence. At a much more approachable price point. If you’re in LA, and you should absolutely make Kali part of your time in LA. Meal type: Dinner
Came here for the first time the other day for dinner and the ambience is very cute. The food is very aesthetically pleasing and very well put together as far as presentation. They do not have any vegan options at all but do have non meat dishes available for the non meat eaters. The price point is more on the higher end , Overall it was an 8 out of 10 .
