点评:Whether you are visiting UCLA or just looking for a nice place to eat in Westwood, you can't go wrong here!
We go here before UCLA basketball games and it is great. If you just want a drink, a quick bite, or a whole meal before the game this is a nice elevation over the typical campus or "college town" food you find in Westwood. In that way, it is a nice place to go even if you don't need to be on campus for any other reason.
The setting is quite nice. When the weather permits, they have outdoor seating in a courtyard with lots of room and beautiful olive trees to provide just the right amount of shade.
The food is really good, too. If you are just going for a bite and a drink, I would recommend the hummus and the fries. They don't disappoint! If you want something a bit more substantial, their burgers are really good, too. When my wife and I go for dinner, we usually split a burger and fries. They have a full bar and I find their selection of spirits, beer, and wine to have something for everyone.
By far the best aspect of Plateia is the service. In spite of the "no tipping" policy, the service here is amazing! Everyone is helpful - doesn't have to be your dedicated server - and they are very quick to attend to your every need. This level of service is not surprising given the leadership there. Joel is one of the best restaurant managers I have ever come across. He treats you like royalty and never fails to give you that personal touch that is lacking in so many fine dining establishments. His contribution to the experience cannot be understated.
All together, Plateia is a convenient place to get some good food before visiting the campus or a fine dining alternative to the "college food" in the rest of Westwood. I think you'll have a good time, especially if Joel is there!

我们在加州大学洛杉矶分校篮球比赛之前去了这里,非常棒。如果您只是想在比赛前喝一杯、吃点快餐或吃一顿正餐,那么这里的食物比您在韦斯特伍德找到的典型校园或“大学城”食物要好得多。这样,即使您因任何其他原因不需要在校园里,它也是一个不错的去处。
环境非常好。当天气允许时,他们在庭院里设有户外座位,庭院里有足够的空间和美丽的橄榄树,可以提供适量的阴凉。
食物也非常好。如果您只是想吃点东西喝点饮料,我会推荐鹰嘴豆泥和薯条。他们不会让人失望!如果你想要更丰盛的东西,他们的汉堡也很棒。当我和妻子去吃晚饭时,我们通常会分一份汉堡和薯条。他们有一个完整的酒吧,我发现他们精选的烈酒、啤酒和葡萄酒适合每个人。
到目前为止,Plateia 最好的方面是服务。尽管有“不给小费”的政策,这里的服务还是很棒的!每个人都很乐于助人 - 不一定是您的专用服务员 - 他们很快就能满足您的每一个需求。考虑到那里的领导地位,这种服务水平并不令人惊讶。乔尔是我遇到过的最好的餐厅经理之一。他对待您就像对待皇室成员一样,并且永远不会忘记为您提供许多高级餐厅所缺乏的个人风格。他对这段经历的贡献不可低估。
总而言之,Plateia 是您在参观校园之前享用美食的便利场所,也是韦斯特伍德其他地区“大学美食”之外的精致餐饮选择。我想你会玩得很开心,特别是如果乔尔在的话!
