A Look at Dine LA on the Westside

Fall version of dining event returns through October 15

By Dolores Quintana

Dine LA has returned for Fall of 2021 and will run from October 1 to October 15 at restaurants all over town. 

This event celebrates some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles and gives diners a chance to try new and exciting meals through special brunch, lunch and dinner menus that are made specially for Dine LA participants. To participate, all you need to do is check the Dine LA website for restaurants in your area who are taking part in the event and book a reservation on the OpenTable website or call the restaurant directly. 

Reservations are strongly encouraged because this is a very popular event. The designated meal periods vary for each restaurant as do the menus depending on availability of ingredients. Some restaurants offer takeout, dine in only, delivery through third party apps, but not all are the same, so it helps to check the individual page for that information. All prices are prix fixe or preset by the restaurant at the beginning of Dine LA and they will not be subject to change. The prix fixe prices do not include applicable taxes, tips, gratuity charges, and any specific restaurant’s additional miscellaneous fees. If you have any general questions, you can check the Dine LA FAQ here
