Great food, excellent time. What can I say, sometimes the company we have can make the best evenings better or the best evening worse. In this case, better. Great service!! I t was a good time

What happened? This restaurant was a landmark ( not only on an architectural point of view being the movie studio for Chaplin ) But also the best place for brunch in LA. Fluffiest quiche lorraine, best homemade jams and freshest pastries and breads thanks to La Brea Bakery. Missing Mark Peel magic in the kitchen !

Mark Peel is a gem and Felix the bartender was/is wonderful.Not only good food but one of the most comfortable restaurants I have ever been to. Went often and was sick over its closing after 23 yrs. I was there on the last Saturday night.

This restaurant is a Los Angeles landmark with great food, service and ambiance. The service is relaxed and efficient, the food cooked to perfection and the ambiance...there is no space like Campanile...its just perfect.

This is a fabulous place to have brunch with your best girlfriend or your mother-in-law. The atmosphere is wonderful, but enjoy it now, because it's slated to close in November to make way for some (potentially) short-winded, gastronomic extravagance called Republique. Campanile has been the benchmark for upscale brunch since 1989....let's hope the new tenants preserve the history, which includes... More

Beautiful made to resemble the interior of an abbey. Valet essentially requisite. Started w/ very good pisco sour drink ($12), which was like an excellent margarita w/ meringue on top. App was chicken en croute pâté w/ 'Marsala gelee.". Very fancy & pretty but failed to really awaken my taste buds. Then had small version of the sautéed trenne pasta... More

A classic Los Angeles restaurant. Beautiful room. Beautifully served food. Ask the well-educated staff for recommendations as the menu changes. They have one of the greatest caesar salads if you are there for lunch. You can often find meters on LaBrea, so keep your eyes peeled for parking.

I have been here 3 times, twice in the bar for wine and appetizers and once for a wine tasting event. All the times I have been happy and will come back. The bartenders are friendly and provide good service. The wine selection is very good. If you get a chance to attend one of their wine events, you will... More

Now we are talking about delicious food with grace. The food is good and fresh with a menu that seems not to stop. The eggs are yummy and the salad with bread. wow. Talk about a basket of bread or muffins.... The main room is lovely with a fountain to greet you. There are rooms for private parties. The service... More

I was excited to eat at Campanile, but left disappointed. There wasn't anything wrong with the food or service; I was just very underwhelmed. Nothing memorable about it. The food was good not great; the service was decent, not spectacular. The dining room was wonderful, however. I thought for all the fanfare and ratings, I would love this place. Frankly,... More
