Our first time dining at Per L’Ora. Nice ambiance, good food, and great service! We had the facoccia and caprese for starters, it was delicious. We also enjoyed the lobster risotto, steak, and spinach carbonara. We will definitely come back

This was a 3 course dinner for two. Everything was great, food was delicious, drinks were unique and the atmosphere was calm. Try it, the views alone are worth a drink at the bar. Also, valet is the only way to park down town!

Party of two promptly seated. We chose to sit indoors as the dining room was less crowded than the outdoors patio. Service was prompt. We ordered a few different rolls and small plates. Ordered a nice bottle of Sake. All in, a great time for a tourist couple seeking a great dinner. Eats & drinks + tip was $190.

Came here with my wife from LA Prime because we waited 40 minutes at our table and the waiter never came to check in on us. We switched over to wayfarer as we saw they had great reviews. And it did not disappoint!! We were so happy we switched on over and decided to try it. It definitely give you an immersive experience as you have such a beautiful roof top view of the skyline.

Manuela in LA’s Arts District was a highlight of our visit—terrific food and superb service. The barramundi sea bass and signature venison burger were outstanding. Don’t miss the Archie cocktail or the tequila with macerated yellow peppers. And coming from Southerners, trust us: the biscuits are to die for! We’d happily return.
