Inn of the Seventh Ray

“WOW!!! This place is worth it just for the views, vibes and atmosphere!! However unfortunately the buffet style breakfast was NOT GOOD!!!! Everything at the buffet lacked flavor and or tasted strange. It felt like school cafeteria food!! My mom and I went for 11am on memorial day weekend and were let down that on my reservation it did NOT specify that there was only buffet for breakfast. I was looking forward to the regular menu!!! 😕 I would go back just for the views and atmosphere and hopefully give the regular menu a chance again. But NEVER go for the buffet!! That was gross!”

“"Most Romantic Restaurant in LA" and worthy of that title. Perfect place for a wedding or special occasion. Sunday brunch is a real treat. If weather allows, request a creekside table...the sound of the water is magically relaxing. Service was pleasant and efficient. No rush to have a high table turnover; we were encouraged to relax and enjoy the scenery. Loved our brunch experience.”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Inn at Seventh Ray, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely hostess who exuded a vibrant energy, reminiscent of a glamorous Lady Gaga. Her warmth and enthusiasm set the perfect tone for the evening. The staff, from the busboy to our waiter, were nothing short of exceptional. Our waiter was energetic, knowledgeable, and charming, making us feel incredibly welcomed in this mystical paradise. Surrounded by nature's beauty, with waterfalls, enchanting lights, and the soothing sounds of frogs singing in the background, the atmosphere felt like stepping into a dream. The wine list was extensive and truly impressive, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for our meal. Although the bar offerings were more limited, the quality of the wine made up for it entirely. For our meal, we shared the octopus and truffle risotto, both of which were delectable. How can you not love truffles! The dissected Caesar salad and goat cheese salad with apples were refreshing choices that perfectly complemented our appetizers. For our entrees, we indulged in scallops, filet mignon, salmon, and rigatoni ragu — each dish was simply delicious! We were sooooo full we skipped dessert, unfortunately, but we definitely plan to indulge next time as we are already looking forward to our return visit. This enchanting restaurant with cascading creek, singing frogs and a romantic ambiance is a hidden gem right in the heart of topanga / hop skip and a jump from Calabasas Malibu or Santa Monica. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking not just a meal, but a complete sensory experience. With such remarkable food and a captivating atmosphere, I can't wait to create more cherished memories on our next trip! Inn at Seventh Ray is a must!”

“This is a dreamy place to come celebrate a special night. Nestled in topanga canyon right along a creek. The music, candles and atmosphere are calming. You can rent a gazebo outside or sit next to the fountain, or inside in front of the fireplace. So many different corners to enjoy. It's incredibly romantic. And The food! Every food item we have ever ordered is exceptional. Two favorite meals are filet Mignon and braised short ribs. The best dessert is the chocolate cake. The service is great. Calm and professional, but open, talkative and down to earth. Also, check out the store right after dinner!”

“We ordered the Pasta Arrabbiata, and it was a great choice. The creamy sauce had a slight spicy kick, and the flavor was really good. The portion was generous, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I also had the Bitburger non-alcoholic beer, which paired well with the meal. The cafe has a beautiful view and a relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect place to enjoy a slow, peaceful lunch. There are also a few vintage clothing stores nearby, and a small shop right next to the restaurant that sells unique items and books definitely worth exploring after your meal.”
