While you’re there, enrich your experience of Southern California’s glamour and beauty with the locally sourced cuisine created by Getty Restaurant executive chef Mayet Cristobal and Chef de Cuisine Matt Lee, using Herb Ritts’s stunning black and white photographs as their muse.
Cristobal and Lee’s prix fixe Dine L.A. Style menus feature a palette of black and white sauces, reductions, vinaigrettes, and creamy desserts that express L.A.’s inimitable flair and flavors.
For lunch, the menu begins with a pork belly tostada and continues with squid ink and sweet potato ravioli with black Tuscan kale, followed by house-made dark chocolate and vanilla bean ice cream with black and white shortbread cookies for dessert. The prix fixe lunch is $34 per person; $52 with beverage pairing.
The dinner menu begins with yellowtail crudo, then burrata alla panna, followed by sea scallop with English pea risotto, featuring black garlic, pancetta, and black trumpet pea tendrils, finishing with Colorado lamb belly. For dessert, enjoy a delicious malted dark chocolate bombe paired with Café Obscura. The prix fixe dinner is $85 per person; $115 with beverage pairing.
Each selection is paired with California wines. Before dinner, set the mood with the Garden Martini, a signature cocktail featuring fresh muddled cucumber, basil, Bombay Sapphire gin, lime and simple syrup shaken with ice.
As a special flourish to the prix fixe lunch and dinner, each table’s server will snap a black and white Polaroid for a personal memento of the meal and the exhibition—a timeless takeaway from a photographer’s unforgettable show.
The exhibition Herb Ritts: L.A. Style is sponsored by Lincoln.
