Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Jordan Kahn has form: Vespertine's two stars, Destroyer's cult following, and now Meteora, holding one Michelin star in the 2025 Guide. The premise here is less austere than Vespertine — live-fire cooking applied to California ingredients sourced from farmers, foragers and fishermen, with a zero-waste discipline underpinning it. You enter through a sculptural bird's nest into a room dense with tropical flora and skylights, a biophilic set-piece that, for once, serves the food rather than upstaging it. The format is a four-course menu at $115 or six courses at $165 (plus the 4% Healthy LA surcharge, and pairings if you wish). Full-table participation is required — this is not a room for the indecisive. The Sue Buxton day-boat scallops, caramelized in honey against heirloom banana and roasted kelp, show Kahn's instinct for sweet-savory tension. Prawns and oysters arrive over hot stones and flaming beef fat — theatre, but earned. For the occasion and the cooking, the cheque is fair. Meteora justifies the evening.
