Etta - Culver City

I've come here on multiple occasions for happy hour, dinner catch ups, corporate team dinner, brunch with friends, and it's an amazing spot with tasty food. The service is great with friendly servers who check in periodically to make sure you're well taken care of. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. If you're with a larger group you can order several items to share to get a taste of all their delicious offerings. They have great cocktail options which does change seasonally and if you're going in for brunch, coffee and tea options as well. Though I am a fan of majority of their food a few of my favorites would be the fire-baked focaccia, which comes out perfectly warm, the diavola pizza which is delicious if you want a little bit of spice, and you can never go wrong with the alla vodka. If you're going during peak times or with a larger party I recommend making reservations prior. Overall, trendy vibes with a modern and cozy feel. Parking: they do offer valet since it is located in a hotel. There's some street parking which is harder to find or a parking structure across the street if you don't mind a short walk! One thing to note is they don't do lunch on Mondays but other than that lunch (weekday)/brunch (weekends) from 11-2 PM.

Had a lil brunch with one of my faves here and the patio is so cute y'all! The weather was perfect for being outside. There's a little bit of street noise that you can hear but otherwise I recommend sitting out there if you can. Our waitress was nice enough to wait the 15/20 minutes it took for my friend to get there and came by to check on me anyway in the meantime, very appreciated! Ok now the food. We ordered a few plates to split: French toast, the egg scramble, and the potatoes. The French toast was by far my favorite dish! Highly recommend!

Went here for a corporate dinner, and sat in the bar section of Etta's ground floor hotel restaurant. We didn't need a reservation for a table of 2 of a Friday evening. The service was comfortably warm. On to the food:Bubbling shrimp the fkn best! The flavors are so complex, and so nostalgic i could taste the coconut, the lemongrass, the basil, the crunchy onions, the spices everything went beautifully together Focaccia bread loved the truffle and honey butter, the bread was so light, airy and fluffy The pork pizza was deliciously honey glazed. And they didn't skimp on the meat either. All in all, good food, good vibes. I will come back!

LOVE this place! They are located in the hotel, so parking is a pain (either street or valet . Definitely need a reservation or you may be waiting over an hour. There is bar seating, but it fills up quick too!The fire-baked focaccia is a MUST TRY! It is only available during dinner or lunch (certain days, not weekends . I wish they offered it on weekends as part of their brunch menu! The ricotta is so soft and pains so well with the flaky focaccia (not your typical focaccia! . Everything we tried was pretty good! The bubbling shrimp was surprisingly very flavorful. The herbs reminded me of a Vietnamese style dish. Their pastas were also really good, specifically the alla vodka. I can't wait to return to try their other dishes!

Trendy spot in Culver City. Good for groups or date night but I definitely recommend reservations in advance. I prefer sitting inside but it is very loud.We ordered pizza and pasta and both were delicious! The servers recommend sharing but honestly don't think it's necessary unless you order pizza. When you order pizza, make sure to ask for their chili oil and other spices to your table to bring a little extra flare and kick to your pizza. It take it to another level!Parking is definitely not the greatest and partially contributes to why I don't come often but really is a cute spot. If you go and are looking for low cost parking, park at the meters on Venice Blvd.
