I visited this location on a business lunch, and I was blessed enough to be able to taste several dishes. We started off with salads and the crispy broccoli. All of these were delicious, but the broccoli was my favorite. The flavor was so delicious. While we waited for our main dish, I ordered a passionfruit margarita and an espresso martini. Both drinks were very delicious and refreshing. My main dish was the salmon with black rice and an amazingly delicious avocado mousse. While the salmon was delicious, the star of the plate was the avocado mousse. It had a lemony taste that was perfect. We tried a variety of desserts including the tiramisu, cheesecake, and flourless chocolate cake. My favorite was the cheesecake. The chocolate cake was good but a bit on the too rich side. The restaurant itself has a nice view inside. I'm glad I was able to taste the food here. read more

Ive been coming here before covid and well after, probably about 8-9 years. Always a good spot. I was there yesterday with 3 co workers and food, the service, was terrific! Not quite sure whats up with the 1 stars complaining about the pricing. There was four of us, we ordered a ton of food, all ordered drinks and it came out to 442 (including 20% tip); cant please em all. Great spot. We'll continue to go. Cheers. read more

We got the pappardelle and steak tagliata The pappardelle was delicious. I like bolognese so this was what i was looking for. I personally didn't like the steak and wouldn't recommend. It had a weird herbal flavor for me? Service was good and standard. We sat at the outdoor rooftop on a sunny LA afternoon and it was great vibes. read more

I've been to Margot in Culver City three times : 1/25/2025 & 5/20/2023 & 4/21/2019. Each time I visited, I had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. It's truly a perfect spot for a date night, with a great ambiance that makes the experience even more special. The service was also very friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food here is consistently delicious. One dessert I highly recommend is the Flourless Chocolate Torte with Nutella crème fraîche and toasted hazelnuts. It's absolutely delicious--an absolute bomb. As an appetizer, I also really enjoyed the Pan con Tomate (grilled bread, fresh tomato, ricotta, and EVOO). It was so fresh and tasty. The last time I visited was on January 25, 2025, and below is what I posted on my Instagram that day: I went to Margot in Culver City for the third time, but I was disappointed that the dish I always enjoyed was no longer available. I really loved their Bombolotti pasta, but since it was gone, I tried a different pasta that the waitress recommended as a similar option--but it just wasn't the same. However, the flourless chocolate cake was absolutely delicious. (Saturday, January 25, 2025) read more

Made reservations for dinner with friends on a Friday night and we were seated immediately. My party ordered the Arancini, Charred Broccoli, Steak Tagliatelle, Seafood Risotto, and Pappardelle Bolognese. The arancini and bolognese were pretty standard dishes. Good but nothing spectacular. The risotto was good but I'm not the biggest fan of risotto in general. The steak was delicious with the chimichurri sauce; however, the steak itself was a little disappointing for how expensive it is. For $70, you would except it to be tender, but it was pretty tough and hard to cut. The real highlight of the dishes was the broccoli. I didn't know broccoli could be that good. The restaurant is on a rooftop, giving aesthetic vibes. This restaurant is more on the pricier side, and you are paying more for the view than the food. read more

I'm not sure why Margot has such a low rating on Yelp. I recently went back for the first time in a long time. I was in the area and although we just had drinks it was a lovely experience. The staff was friendly and the surface was fairly quick and very attentive, the ambiance was amazing as always. You have to take an elevator up to the third floor, I personally love when you can look down at all the string lights in the area below even while seated inside. This is the perfect spot for a date night, drinks with friends, or showing somebody who's visiting in town a cool spot near the Culver City/Palms area. I'll definitely be back to try the food again, but from what I remember years ago the food was pretty good too :) read more

On Easter, 7 of us went to have lunch at Margot in Culver City. Our reservations were for 1 pm and my sister and I parked in the parking structure across the street from the shopping center where the restaurant is located. It was easy and not expensive to park I think it was $5. We were surprised to find that it was not crowded. Walking through the shopping center to the restaurant was very nice, with lots of cute shops so give yourself time to look around either before or after your meal. The entrance to the restaurant is really pretty. We even took some photos of the sign walking in. The indoor dining area is light and bright with lots of natural lighting. We requested to be seated in the patio where there were plenty of umbrellas for shade and nice views of the surrounding landscape. We were promptly greeted by our server and we ordered drinks. Service was not rushed nor was it too slow. I ordered the Utopia, a mocktail... and I have to say it was the best I have had. Not too sweet and looked very pretty with jalapeño dust on the side of the glass. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a non-alcoholic option. All of the other cocktails ordered by our party were equally enjoyable. We ordered several appetizers; the oysters, the hamachi, the charred broccoli and the arancini. All of the appetizers were delicious. My favs were the hamachi and the charred broccoli. I ordered the spicy meatball sandwich for lunch. It was tasty but I found it a bit dry. I probably wouldn't order it again but I brought half of it home and my boyfriend loved it. My sister ordered the fried chicken and she raved about it. I didn't hear any complaints about the other dishes that were ordered. I have included pictures of everything that we ordered. I would definitely go back and we all enjoyed our time, meals and drinks. One thing to pay attention to is the 4% restaurant fee, which the check states is optional and will be removed upon request. We chose to keep the fee and just adjusted the tip accordingly. read more

This is a new favorite dinner spot for sure! The patio on the roof is nice and has a good view of the Platform in CC as well as surrounding areas. The service was quick but not rushed making Margot a great place for a gathering. The food was excellent. All of the ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were unique and addicting. The drinks are also tastefully crafted. Margot is on InKind if you're looking for a deal, which came in handy for my dining group! read more

I have been wanting to go to Margot for years. I finally had the opportunity to go last Tuesday when I met an old friend for dinner. I was worried about parking but actually it was so easy to find a place where to park. My friend found a spot on the street and I parked on the parking structure across the street. Margot is a beautiful restaurant, the patio is amazing, I loved the decoration and the vibe. We were seated at the patio just next to a big heater which it was great., specially if you always get cold like me. This heater helped me to enjoy the beautiful ambiance of the patio and view. We shared the hamachi and charred broccoli, I basically devoured both. Then I ordered the salmon with wild rice which was outstanding, my friend ordered the gnocchi but I forgot to ask about his verdict. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which I loved. I will definitely come back If you haven't tried Margot, you have missed out a lot. read more

We had a very nice dinner at Margot. The food was excellent and service was friendly and efficient. Our server was on top of everything and she took great care of us. The restaurant is contemporary and it was very loud. In my opinion it is much more of an adult atmosphere and I did not see any children. The cost my pasta dinner should have been $10 less as $36 for the pasta dish, in my opinion was a bit high. But it was excellent and I did enjoy it. I think the portion size might be a bit small for a hearty eater though. Also expect to spend at least $10 or more to park. I have never seen restrooms like they have. They have several private rooms and a communal area to wash your hands. It seemed to work very well. read more

Long story short, avoid Margot, and it's on the NOT RECOMMEND list! Ambiance 4/5: it's a cozy and quiet restaurant located on the third level inside the shopping mall next to the metro station, stylish decorations and spacious indoor and outdoor dining area, clean individual restrooms Service 2/5: friendly although very slow, it took a while to get water and food served, I felt being rushed for eating there, our plates were taken away after we put down the utensils and paused a bit, despite there was still a bit left on the plates to finish, it's not like during rush hours people waiting for tables or they were closing for the day, you really don't have to rush your customers Food 1/5: simple menu items for food, not that many choices for both lunch and dinner, their food seems not meeting the sanitation requirements, unfortunately, both got stomach and diarrhea issues after eating here ham and burrata sandwich - ** serrano ham, local burrata, arugula pesto, flavorless sandwich pappardelle - *** ragu bolognese, meat sauce was good, but pasta was undercooked and on the chewier side Price 0/5: small to medium portions and slightly overpriced for its quality, expect about $40 per person. I feel this place is entitled and sneaky, be aware of the 4% restaurant fee, which you wouldn't be able to see the breakdown until you paid the bill, neither the server mention anything before we paid, nor it's not written anywhere on their website or menu. Even though it's optional and can be removed as shown on the receipt, how would you be able to do that without knowing its existence and seeing the term at the first place. We ended up paying more than expected, literally feels like tipping 24% instead of 20%. To be clear it's not about money, I'm okay tipping more or less by my own choice, but I'm definitely not okay being tricked by their shifty system. It could be worse, as this additional fee without advance notice, charged by the restaurant may not even go to the servers in the end, objectively their menu price is high enough to accommodate their mediocre food, business doing things like this won't last in the long run, as it's hard to retain returning customers. read more

1 star - Pricing Transparency Concern (Valentine's Day) I'm sharing this experience so other families and customers know to ask detailed pricing questions before dining here, especially on holidays. On Valentine's Day, my three teenagers (ages 13, 14, and 16) went to Margot for dinner. They've eaten here before, so we expected pricing similar to the regular menu (most entrées listed around $28-$70). However: The reservation confirmation said only "Prix Fixe Menu" -- no price was listed When they arrived, they were given a special menu with no prices No one explained that the Valentine's menu was $150 per person They were told they would receive "one of everything" Because there were three of them, staff said the restaurant would add "extra dishes," which sounded like accommodation -- not three full $150 charges One of my children is gluten-intolerant and was told she couldn't eat about half the menu, but there was no adjustment The final bill was over $550, and the price was only discovered at the end They were also presented with a champagne/alcohol menu, even though all three are minors The main issue is lack of price transparency before service. Had the price been clearly disclosed, they would not have dined that evening. I have contacted the restaurant multiple times by phone and email and have not been able to reach a manager or receive a response. The restaurant itself is a nice space, and past visits were fine, but this experience was very disappointing. If you plan to dine here -- especially for special events -- I strongly recommend confirming total pricing in advance. Sharing this so others don't end up surprised. read more

Margot - The bill (: - Spanish Near Me - Culver City, California

This restaurant was great when it first opened, but now feels stale and old. It took about 15 minutes for a Server to come and greet me. I almost had to go get my own drinks. The Server was pretty much missing for a lot of the time we had to flag him down. So service was really not great. There was no one at the front desk to greet us when we first got there. Tropical margarita we got was horrible. Either the juice was bad or it was just a bad drink and in general the food was not great. There were some things better than others, but I can't say I would recommend this restaurant to anyone the view outside is nice so maybe go on a nice beautiful day or evening but it seems like they need a new chef and new management and to change things up a bit and definitely need to retrain the servers and hostesses. It's a bit sad to see from when it first opened the bartender also seemed disconcerting the place closed early because it was super slow. They don't carry top-of-the-line tequila and their wine selection is not great. The pasta with clams I would definitely skip and not get again not great. The regular spaghetti they have and a tomato sauce is nothing to write home about. Sad to see, but this seems like a restaurant that is fading away and probably gonna go out of business but time will tell. Maybe they'll get their act together. read more

I've been to Margot many times over the years, and my favorite dish is the broccoli. Other items I typical get include: Steak and eggs - part of the brunch menu Broccoli - this is my favorite, it had an excellent vinaigrette yogurt dressing and there's something crunchy on top (I think fried quinoa) that really adds to the overall texture Ora King Salmon - the salmon itself is excellent and melts in your mouth. I especially like the crispy skin on the salmon. The seasoning is simple but good. I'm not a fan of the side salad and sauce that comes with it though. Atmosphere is excellent and service is fine but can be slow sometimes. I like to sit on the patio area, especially on a warm night. My rating is just for the food. read more

Awesome customer service. Beautiful place with a cool view. The food and drinks were great. Best arancini I had.

The cuisine is a mix of Californian-Italian-Mediterranean, and everything I've had is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is hip, trendy, and upscale, but without feeling pretentious. They have large windows, setting the perfect vibe for either day or night dining. You wouldn't think frayed black rope hanging from a tall ceiling would look cool in a space, but it works here. The bathrooms are individual stalls (my preference - I don't want to hear other people using the restroom) and they have my favorite Aesop hand soap! We all had a drink and shared 4 small dishes + 1 entree, and it came out to ~$79 per person for 3 people. We were easily able to make a reservation for Margot on the Resy app, and we were able to specify that we wanted to sit in the indoor dining room since it was cold outside (although I love the vibes on the patio). For parking, we self parked in the lot right across the street (8850 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232) and walked through the Platform shopping center. To get to Margot, you take the swanky elevator (hidden in a corner, next to the jewelry store Catbird) and go to the top floor. I loved everything we had and would repeat this exact order again. Here was our order: Yellowtail crudo ($26) calabrian kosho, radish, citrus. Refreshing, citrus-forward, perfect texture. I loved this so much that next time I would order both crudos to share. Patatas bravas ($16) crispy fingerlings potato's with smoked paprika aioli on the side. Yummy for anyone who enjoys potatoes. Wild arugula salad ($20) with hazelnuts, vinaigrette, thinly sliced apples, and Manchego sheep cheese. Light & delicious. Charred broccoli ($24) with garlic yogurt, black garlic vinaigrette, feta. It didn't say it on the menu, but I'm pretty sure it's topped with quinoa. An absolute must order. For our entrée, since we were already on a seafood theme, we went with the Ora king salmon ($38) with black rice, avocado mousse, leeks, and serrano aioli. House Cocktail: The Hugo ($18) with elderflower, Prosecco & mint. Non-alcohol Mocktail: Arancia Spritz ($14) Lyre's Italian orange non-alcoholic spirit & soda. Leaning sweet without being overpowering, served in a fun glass. read more

Came here for dinner. Wanted to try an Italian spot around culver and decided to give this a try. Made reservations and were seated promptly outside. Each seat had its own heater which made it very comfortable. Great for date night or with a larger group. We got the Boboloti pasta and the squid ink pasta. Both were savory and flavorful. The squid ink was a light bit citrusy and had a lighter profile than the boboloti which was more hearty and filling. The cheese was sharp which was a nice contrast. The pastas were quite aldente (more than our taste) and the pricing was quite high for what it is. Probably wont be back because of that but was still a nice spot to try out once. Food: 7/10 (for the price) Service: 8/10 Ambience: 9/10 read more

Not the biggest fan of the beat salad but the sandwich and the fried chicken were definitely good.

Yelp asked what stood out about my experience: the prices. Unfortunately, the high prices (and small portions) outshined the taste of the food or the nice ambiance. 2 apps, 2 pastas, and a side amounted to $240 after their default tip amount. No drinks. We'd love to come here more but the prices are notably higher than many other places with similar food. read more

I really wanted to like this place, and for a couple hours i did and thought about my next dinner or trying their brunch, however everything went downhill super fast. Our server was just okay at first -- not particularly attentive or friendly, but nothing terrible. That changed when he suddenly created a completely false story about someone at our table and reported it to his manager. The manager then came over and handled the situation incredibly poorly, escalating things and causing even more embarrassment for no reason. It felt unprofessional and completely unnecessary, and it genuinely ruined the night. On top of the awkward interaction, the prices are far too high for the quality of the food and service. insanely high! There are plenty of places in the area that offer better meals, better service, and a much better atmosphere. Unfortunately, we won't be returning, and I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Lovely atmosphere, especially in the outside seating area. We got lots of plates to share and all were really good. We particularly enjoyed the seafood risotto, squid ink and the lemon-ricotta asparagus. The pork meatballs were a little over-cooked and some of the items were a bit salty for my taste but otherwise this was a lovely experience. read more

Ambiance was strange: ropes and cowhide? Patio seemed nice but much too windy. Service was soooooo slow. Server definitely seemed high. Hamachi- good. Salads- good. Pork chop- dry! Salmon- so so. Risotto- mediocre at best. Papparadelle bolognese- gamey. Cheesecake- tastiest thing of the night. With cocktails and tip it was almost $500!! Absolute disappointment and we were embarrassed we brought our friends. read more

Margot has a great atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive. Great for a date night. The server recommended the yellowtail crudo and a selection of tapas. The crudo was fresh and flavorful--definitely a solid choice. Unfortunately, the tapas were disappointing; they tasted like they had been reheated from the frozen section rather than freshly prepared. FYI some of the main entrees are made to order and take a min of 30 minutes to prepare. Overall, it's a nice spot for drinks and ambiance, but I'd stick to the crudo and maybe explore other menu options next time. read more

I would have to say that Margot is perhaps a distillation of everything L.A. Which is to say, style over substance. Don't get me wrong. Margot is a delightful rooftop bar and eatery. The food was pretty solid, as was the service. Attentive without being overwhelming. But it's a scene as well as a place to "be seen." We came here on a Sunday eve so it wasn't nearly as crowded as I imagine it would be on other nights. We ordered the yellowtail crudo, grilled prawns, the squid ink tagliarini, and the Little Gems salad. Then we ended up ordering the Pan Con Tomate, which was suggested by our waiter. I understand why he was trying to upsell us, because the grilled prawns were delicious, but there were literally four of them on the plate and not much else. And I feel like $18 for half a loaf of bread with some tomato sauce smeared on top of it was pretty damn steep. The Crudo was yummy and beautifully presented, but again, for $25 one would have expected a bit more than four bites. My tagliarini was delicious, probably the best thing we ordered. Well seasoned and a decent portion. The little gems salad was literally nothing more than a pile of lettuce with some fried capers and Parmesan and dressing thrown on top. Tasty. But disappointing for 20 bucks. We would return, but only for a really special occasion. Because more than $200 spent for two people who ordered one drink each?? Whew chile...Margot is definitely above our pay grade. read more

Just came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. We had a party of 3 and decided to split a few dishes between all of us. We had the arancini (so tasty!), the crispy fingerlings (great especially with the sriracha and aioli), the porchetta eggs Benedict (YUM!), and the French toast (good but I think I'd get it without the nuts next time). We love the vibe of the restaurant, feels like dining on your eclectic friend's patio. read more

I honestly can't understand why this place doesn't have at least 4 stars. From the beautifully designed decor to the superb ambiance, this is the kind of spot where you're guaranteed to have a fantastic meal. We had to order the albondigas again, and they were just as incredible as last time--the perfect balance of spice with a crisp texture. The sauce needs to be sold in stores! The arancini with truffle is phenomenal. Rich, flavorful, creamy and absolutely worth ordering. As always, the Ora King salmon was outstanding--crispy on top, and flaky and moist on the inside. The seafood risotto was hearty, comforting, and the perfect dish for this foggy LA day. Beyond the amazing food, this place is also ideal for events and large parties--I'm already dreaming of hosting one here. If you haven't been yet, don't sleep on this spot.

Came here for dinner on a weekday for a group of 4, and glad we had made an advance reservation. We were only able to get outdoor seating, but we were sat near a warm heater so that was nice and cozy. Our server wasn't as quick or attentive (took him about 15 min to get our drinks, and then another 15 or so to get our food orders), but I guess it was a busy night? The vibes were chill, intimate, and chic. The music wasn't overly loud, so you can still have nice conversations with your party. We shared a bunch of dishes: patatas bravas, jamon, pan con tomato, arugula salad, beets and burrata, bomboloti pasta, and squid ink tagliarini. All of the dishes were divine. The squid ink in particular was the perfect blend of flavors, and not too fishy. The pasta was freshly made, light, and the sauce wasn't too overpowering. The beets and burrata was very refreshing as well. Overall, would recommend this place for a nice date night or social gathering. The food is quite delicious, despite the higher price tag. The only thing was that service was a tad bit slow that day. Parking in the nearby Platform garage ($2/hour ish), no validation. read more

I went to Margot years ago for dinner when it first opened and it was delicious. I recently went to lunch there and it was horrible. We ordered the ham and burrata sandwich and little gem salad with chicken. The focaccia bread on my sandwich was stale and the chicken on the salad looked like it had been sitting out for days. So disappointing. I'm hoping dinner is still good but def skip lunch. Would not recommend. read more

I ordered the chopped Greek salad but only had a few bites because it was way to spicy for me!

However, the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, both inside and on the patio! read more

I had a team building event here. Margot offers a chic rooftop dinning experience and a menu inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. We got almost every tapa on the menu and enjoyed every one of it. My favorite was the patatas bravas - the potatoes were cooked just right where you can taste the crisp. I really want to like the prime strip loin but it was just a bit too dry for my palette. The tiramisu was a hit for our group. The ambiance here is boho chic making it perfect for a casual dine out or a date night. Recommend to make a reservation on weekend nights! (: read more

Nice and spacious place perfect for brunch having both an inside and terrace. The restaurant is located on the second floor within a retail complex with a lot of other options including coffee and boba and other restaurants and shops. There is a public lot across the street which was convenient. The menu isn't too extended but we liked what we had and the items were interesting and delicious. We tried the polenta and eggs, the French toast, and the patatas bravas (these were slightly over salted for my taste but still very yummy!) I also got a mimosa and that's really the only disappointing thing, but I feel I get disappointed by mimosas most of the time anyway! Service was attentive, we went with a young toddler and saw a few other young children which I wasn't expecting but was happy to see! read more

It was very much just OK and extremely extremely extremely overpriced. Management.: 1. Bringing the wine in some little plastic container and pouring it into a glass is really tacky.2. The 3-4 ounce pour is just pathetic. Especially when a tiny glass of the very average wine (albeit with Fancy French intro) costs $22-$30. 3. Your prices are very very very high, given the quality of the experience in terms of ambience/etc. . The food is good. But overall, you get a much better value elsewhere (in many places!! And they validate), so I can see why your restaurant is only 1/4 full on a weekend night. It's just way too expensive for what you get. read more
