Ka’Teen in Hollywood serves vibrant Yucatán-inspired Mexican fare in a lush, tropical outdoor setting perfect for lively nights out.
"From the thatched entrance and ethereal club music pumping through the speakers, there’s a lot going on at Ka’Teen. But if you’re looking to get dressed up and have a messy night out in Hollywood, this is where to be. The mostly outdoor space is great for big groups, there’s a $1,000 bottle of Dom Perignon on the menu, and as for the food, the Yucatan-style menu has several bright spots like citrusy ceviches and lamb barbacoa platters. Sure, this place is loud, crowded, and clubby, but it’s also filled with people who want it that way. Make sure you’re one of them before going." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park
"Hollywood hotel dining tends to be hit or miss, but with a menu from renowned chef Wes Avila, Ka’teen makes for a worthy dinner destination. The striking outdoor space looks like something straight out of a Tulum resort with wicker lanterns hanging overhead and jungle plants in every corner. Start with a prawn aguachile or kanpachi crudo before orderins mains like the cochinita pibil served in a banana leaf, or the bone-in carne asada ribeye. The chips and guacamole is a must-order, served in a molcajete with heirloom tomatoes. The prices are a bit on the higher end, but the portions are quite generous. Ka’teen is best if dining with a group as most dishes are sized to share. Book a table on Resy." - Rebecca Roland

"From the thatched tunnel entrance and the ethereal club music to every server repeatedly reminding you that it’s “Tulum-themed,” there’s a lot going on at Ka’Teen. If you’re looking to get dressed up with coworkers and have an over-the-top night in Hollywood, Ka’Teen is where to do it. The sprawling, mostly outdoor space is great for parties, there’s a $495 bottle of Dom Perignon on the menu, and as for the food, the Yucatan-style menu has plenty of bright spots. Capacity: Private dining and full buyouts available. " - brant cox, nikko duren
