Our Story
We provide healthy food for your family.
Velvet Oak Fine Dining was founded on a belief that a great restaurant is more than the sum of its dishes — it is a living, breathing expression of culture, craft, and human connection. Our founders, inspired by years spent at Europe's most storied tables and California's most innovative kitchens, envisioned a place where the grandeur of classical fine dining could be experienced with modern warmth and accessibility. That vision found its home in Beverly Hills, a neighborhood that mirrors the restaurant's own spirit: timeless, aspirational, and alive with creative energy. Since opening our doors, Velvet Oak has become a landmark of Los Angeles' culinary landscape — celebrated for its extraordinary tasting menus, its thoughtfully curated wine program, and its intimate private dining suites that have hosted some of the city's most cherished celebrations. We are proud to have earned a place not just in our guests' dining calendars, but in their most treasured memories. Our kitchen is led by chefs who have trained at the highest levels of the culinary world, bringing classical European technique to every plate while celebrating the extraordinary produce that California's seasons provide. Our front-of-house team is equally devoted — trained in the traditions of European hospitality, but guided always by a genuine desire to make every guest feel truly at home. At Velvet Oak, we do not simply serve dinner. We create experiences that linger long after the last course has been cleared.
What Our Customers Say
Velvet Oak is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why fine dining exists. The attention to detail is extraordinary — every course was a revelation, and the sommelier's wine pairings elevated the entire experience to something truly transcendent. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We hosted a private dinner for twelve at Velvet Oak and it was flawless from start to finish. The private dining room was stunning, the custom menu was inspired, and every member of the team went above and beyond. Our guests are still talking about it months later.
There is something deeply special about Velvet Oak. It has the elegance of a great European restaurant, but the warmth and ease of California. The chef's tasting menu is a work of art — seasonal, surprising, and profoundly delicious. My new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles.
The service at Velvet Oak is as extraordinary as the food. Our waiter remembered our preferences from a previous visit, the sommelier offered a bottle I had never heard of that turned out to be the perfect pairing, and the dessert course left us completely speechless. Pure magic.
