beautiful restaurant

We are going to be in LA to wrap up our family's 30 baseball stadium tour (took us many years!!). So I wanted to take the kids (teenagers) out for a nice dinner at a restaurant with a cool vibe. My girls love to get dressed up. We are staying near the Beverly Center and will have a car.

Congratulations on completing your family's 30-stadium baseball tour! For a celebratory dinner in Los Angeles near the Beverly Center, there are several restaurants that offer a stylish atmosphere and would be enjoyable for teenagers who like to dress up. Since you have a car, you can consider locations a bit further afield for unique dining experiences.

Here are some options with a mix of ambiance, quality food, and cool vibes:

  • Catch LA – Located in West Hollywood, Catch offers rooftop dining with city views, trendy décor, and a lively atmosphere. It’s great for photos and has a menu that appeals to both teens and adults.
  • Beauty & Essex – Situated in Hollywood, this restaurant has a fun, glamorous vibe with a hidden entrance and stylish interior. The menu is varied with sharable plates, making it fun for groups.
  • The Bazaar by José Andrés – In Beverly Hills, this restaurant is playful and theatrical, with creative dishes and a visually stunning interior that teens often enjoy.
  • Il Pastaio – Located in Beverly Hills, this spot is classy but more low-key than some of the trendier options, offering excellent Italian cuisine and outdoor seating on a beautiful patio.
  • EP & LP – In West Hollywood, EP & LP offers modern Asian cuisine with a rooftop lounge (LP) and a fun, contemporary vibe suitable for families who want something visually impressive.

Tips for your dinner:

  • Make reservations well in advance, as trendy LA restaurants fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
  • Consider arriving early to enjoy outdoor seating or rooftop views, which enhance the experience for teens.
  • Check dress code policies—most of these restaurants are smart casual or slightly upscale, which should suit your daughters wanting to get dressed up.
  • Parking can be tricky in Hollywood and Beverly Hills, so look for valet or nearby parking structures to save time.

Overall, these options combine beautiful interiors, a “cool” vibe, and menus that will please teenagers and adults alike, making them ideal for a memorable end to your baseball stadium tour.
