Best Restaurants in West Hollywood 2026: The Ranked Guide
Our ranked guide to the best restaurants in West Hollywood for 2026, from Delilah and Craig's to Catch LA and The Nice Guy, with the WeHo tables our guests ask for most.
Why we wrote this guide
West Hollywood packs more scene-defining dining into a two-mile stretch than almost anywhere in Los Angeles. The Sunset Strip and the Melrose Design District run a pair of supper clubs the door staff actually guard, a celebrity-spotted rooftop flying sushi in from Tokyo, and a steakhouse that has anchored the Strip since 2009. This is our ranked guide to the best restaurants in West Hollywood in 2026, built from the rooms our guests ask for by name. Every venue below is one we know well and send guests to. Last updated September 2026.
Looking for the table, not the reading? Tell us the night and the group and we will route you to the right room. The order below blends the quality of the room with the occasion it fits best, not just how loud the dining room gets on a Friday.
The ranked guide
1. Delilah
A speakeasy-meets-modern-LA supper club, and the WeHo name that comes back most often when our guests ask where to eat around a night out. The room runs on dazzling chandeliers, plush seating, a tiled fireplace, and wood-and-gold Art Deco details. The kitchen runs American classics with refined edges, from the famous chicken tenders to a Creekstone Farms filet mignon and a 32 oz Australian wagyu tomahawk for the table. Come evening, live performers and a jazz band shift the room from dinner to dancing. Book it when you want dinner that already feels like the start of the night. See Delilah.
Best for: the scene dinner that rolls into the night.
2. Craig's
The real West Hollywood power-dining room. Craig Susser spent 23 years running the floor at Dan Tana's before opening Craig's on Melrose in 2011, and he brought the same warm, regulars-first hospitality with him. Blue-green booths give every table its own quiet corner, there is no DJ and no velvet rope, and the A-list density is the whole draw. The honey truffle chicken over a corn pancake is the order we point first-timers toward, with the signature filet mignon and the 40 Day Dry Aged Tomahawk close behind. Reservations open two weeks out and move fast, Thursday through Saturday especially. See Craig's.
Best for: the WeHo power dinner without the theater.
3. Catch LA
The celebrity-spotted rooftop on the corner of Melrose and San Vicente, in the Design District. A retractable awning, a greenery-filled entrance, a red marble bar, and curved leather banquettes set the scene. Sushi flies in from Tokyo's Toyosu market and a hot-rock wagyu program finishes tableside. By 8pm Friday it is the loudest dining room within ten blocks, in the good way. OpenTable releases tables 30 days out and the prime patio slots vanish in under a minute, so book the moment the window opens. See Catch LA.
Best for: the see-and-be-seen rooftop birthday or celebration.
4. The Nice Guy
There is no sign on the door at 401 N La Cienega, and that is the point: you have a reservation or you do not get in. Inside, a vintage marble and brass bar greets you at the door, with intimate booths along the exterior wall and larger booths that carry the party atmosphere through the room. The kitchen is what separates it from the rest of the playbook, from the spicy rigatoni vodka most people come back for to the black truffle bianca pizza splurge. Come dressed. The door notices. See The Nice Guy.
Best for: the intimate, exclusive dinner where the room is the flex.
5. BOA Steakhouse West Hollywood
When the Sunset Strip calls for a proper steak dinner, BOA at 9200 Sunset is where the industry crowd lands. Open since 2009, this Sunset Strip address defines steak on the Strip: a dim and sultry room and a bar worth arriving early for. The kitchen anchors on a Creekstone Farms beef program and adds a real seafood dimension. On Sundays the Wine Spectator-recognized list runs half price on bottles outside the Captain's List, one of the better-kept deals on the Strip. See BOA Steakhouse.
Best for: the group steak dinner in the Strip.
6. Casa Madera
The sister concept to Toca Madera, an 8,000-square-foot Sunset Strip room inside The Valorian Los Angeles (formerly the Mondrian), built as a Mayan Riviera-inspired space with an open-air patio under a retractable roof. The menu leans seafood-forward and shareable, from a passion-fruit ceviche and truffle burrata to the 32-ounce Casa Tomahawk of Tasmanian wagyu, backed by a deep tequila and mezcal lineup. DJ sets and live musicians sharpen the energy at brunch and on themed nights, and happy hour runs Monday through Thursday evenings. See Casa Madera.
Best for: the sunset group dinner with a scene.
7. Edition Rooftop
The Roof atop the West Hollywood EDITION at 9040 Sunset, a terraced deck of mature trees in terra cotta planters and wooden bench seating above the Strip. The kitchen leans Latin American, from the Seabass Ceviche in serrano-citrus jus to Carne Asada tacos with prime skirt steak and salsa molcajete, and the cocktail list carries the room. It is the lightest, most view-first pick on this list, and one of the WeHo terraces worth a standalone golden-hour evening, not just a squeezed-in pre-dinner stop. See Edition Rooftop.
Best for: the golden-hour cocktails-and-view evening.

Why the West Hollywood reservation is harder than it looks
The best WeHo tables on a weekend, or during awards season and NBA All-Star weekend, book out weeks ahead, and the prime-time and patio seatings go first. The reservation-only rooms guard their doors on purpose, and the rooftops release limited inventory, so the public apps show you what is left, not what is possible. We point you to the right room and the right booking window, and pair the dinner with the rest of the night.
How the booking works
Outside Las Vegas the dinner reservation sits with the restaurant, not with us.
Book the table direct on the venue's own platform - every restaurant above has its own
page carrying the current booking link - and we build the night around it.
The process for you is short:
Book the table direct. If you are not sure which room fits the night, tell us the
group and the occasion and we will tell you where to book and when the window opens.
Tell us what dinner is the anchor for: the bar before, the club after, the car
between them, the pool day the next morning.
We come back with the rest of the night, and that is the part we arrange for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best restaurant in West Hollywood?
For the WeHo scene dinner most guests ask for by name, Delilah leads. For a power-dining room with A-list density and no theater, Craig's on Melrose. The right answer depends on the occasion, so we rank by fit above, not just reputation.
Which West Hollywood restaurants are hardest to get into?
Delilah and The Nice Guy are reservation-only and guard their doors year-round. Catch LA's prime Friday and Saturday patio slots vanish within a minute of the 30-day OpenTable release. Those are the tables where booking the moment the window opens matters most.
What is the best West Hollywood restaurant for a large group?
Casa Madera and Catch LA both seat larger parties comfortably, and BOA Steakhouse runs an easy room for a group steak dinner. For a celebration group that wants energy, Delilah or Catch LA. Tell us the headcount and we will route the room that fits.
How far in advance should I book a West Hollywood restaurant?
For a standard weekend prime-time table, two to four weeks. For awards season (Golden Globes, SAG, Oscars) or NBA All-Star weekend, plan further out, roughly two to six weeks depending on the room and the seating type. Weeknights and off-peak seatings are often available inside a week. If a room shows fully booked, tell us and we will check for a cancellation or a bar seat.
Where should I eat before going out in West Hollywood?
Delilah and Casa Madera both carry the night straight from dinner into live entertainment, and Catch LA turns after the sunset seatings. BOA is the pick when you want dinner to lead into the Sunset Strip, not start the party at the table. Tell us the rest of the plan and we will time the reservation to it.
Booking the table
Book the table direct on the restaurant's own platform - each pick above links to its
page with the current booking link. Then tell us the night and the group and we will
build the rest of it around dinner.
