"I love that Meteora also embraces the idea, building its bar experience around intentional, snack-focused eating and drinking." - Eater Staff
"The jungle-inspired dining room at Meteora is filled with lush foliage stretching up toward giant skylights, and the menu is made up of imaginative fine dining food that doesn’t exist elsewhere in LA. All of the dishes are meant to share, and involve seasonal ingredients like grilled bigfin squid with crunchy jicama and heirloom stone fruits wrapped in cured duck breast. And every half-hour, a server will saunter around the room with a bowl of burning incense like a monk in a monastery." - team infatuation
"One star. This live-fire-inspired restaurant from Jordan Kahn serves a tasting menu for $95, and an omakase for $195. The lounge offers an a la carte experience as an alternative." - Eater Staff
"This whimsical, immersive space is a touch otherworldly, with its tangled greenery, moody lighting, and trance-y soundtrack, but guests will be happy to fall under its spell when they taste Chef Jordan Kahn’s singular cuisine. Primal live-fire cooking combines with a zero-waste ethos and a treasure trove of sustainably sourced wild and organic ingredients to create dishes that are as memorable as they are delicious. Charred yam with a buttery sauce accented with smoked trout roe and grilled hazelnuts is more than the sum of its parts, and a dish of raw scallops with a vivid macadamia nut leche de tigre, banana, and crunchy kombu manages to both surprise and delight. Drinks, from cocktails made without refined sugars, to wild-harvested herb teas and single-origin coffees, follow the same compelling ethos." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Jordan Kahn’s restaurant that received its first Michelin star at the 2024 awards ceremony." - Rebecca Roland
