Chef Kevin Meehan brings new life to Kali, now transformed into a timeless Hollywood-style steakhouse. The space is split between a lively full bar and an elegant dining room hidden behind a red curtain, complete with plush seating and bold red carpeting. The menu opens with classics like beef tartare and mushroom risotto, but the highlight is the Creekstone Farms steak, perfectly paired with indulgent sides such as the baked-and-fried loaded potato. To finish, desserts stay true to tradition with options like crème brûlée, seasonal sorbet, or their signature meringue gelato crowned with cured egg yolk. This refreshed take on a classic steakhouse blends old-school charm with modern polish, making it a standout destination for both locals and visitors
“We loved this restaurant when visiting LA. Definitely recommend the park house rolls, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The staff was very kind and attentive. We loved the chocolate dessert. Everything we had from the mocktails to the dessert was top notch. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area!”
“Classic style steakhouse, with great service, excellent selection of awesome steaks, and great cocktails. If you don't want to drop a mint on dinner, the bar bites menu is pretty reasonable with some interesting and delicious options. Highly recommend for a nice dinner”
“This place was super good. The service was amazing and the food was great. Our server Amanda was a great help. And the Original Kali Meringue Gelato was one of the best desserts I have ever had. I highly recommend that one. Our server said that was the item that won them the Michelin star.”
“Loved the food. I had the mushroom risotto. I highly recommend it! The atmosphere was a bit darker than I'd like, but then I saw Kumail Nanjiani with his wife Emily Gordon casually dining and thought, "How awesome it this?!!? So, perfect. Only in LA!”
“It’s a steakhouse, but the quality of the steak and the cooking were not up to standard. Even though we ordered the steak medium, it was cooked closer to medium-well. When we pointed this out to the supervisor, he refused to acknowledge the issue. We were left feeling quite helpless—being told it could be remade, but we didn’t want to waste more time waiting again. At checkout, there was also no acknowledgment or gesture from the restaurant; however, as we were very hungry and had already finished the meal, we felt it was awkward to raise the issue again.”
