I could wax on and on about Ray’s “Mediterranean-inspired menu” and their “emphasis on farm-to-table”, and what a talent executive chef Kris Morningstar is, but dude…you’re at a museum. You’re sitting outside, having a glass of wine…at the museum!

Brought to us by LACMA and the the Patina Group (Patina, Nick & Stef's, Cafe Pinot), Ray's and Stark Bar are jointly named after late producer and LACMA trustee Ray Stark. A tandem restaurant and bar concept, with the open-air Stark Bar operating right next door in the courtyard behind LACMA's Urban Light lamp-post installation. On the restaurant side, Chef Kris Morningstar (Blue Velvet, District) helms the kitchen and his Mediterranean-inspired cuisine has helped the young restaurant earn such acclaim as one of Esquire's Best New Restaurants of 2011 . When we arrive to try the tasting menu by Chef Morningstar, the decor of the glass-enclosed restaurant provokes us to imagine a real-life rendering of The Jetsons . The color and minimalism of the Renzo Piano space is both elegant and whimsical. Unfortunately, on this trip we are unable to sample the cocktail creations from the neighboring Stark Bar (below). Not too unfortunately, though, since the instead we'd be enjoyi

Museums are not generally associated with destination dining. However, at Ray's and Stark Bar at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) you won't find any cafeteria trays or shrink-wrapped sandwiches. What you'll get instead is a menu of ever-changing, seasonal Mediterranean small plates from chef Kris Morningstar (AOC, Patina, District) and the Patina Restaurant Group. While planning dinner with a fellow food-loving friend, we discovered that we'd both been meaning to visit Ray's and Stark Bar and decided to check it off our list on our double date. Ray's and Stark Bar, named for film producer and former LACMA trustee Ray Stark (THE WAY WE WERE, FUNNY GIRL, ANNIE), sits adjacent to the Resnick Pavilion and features views of several museum buildings as well as the famous Urban Lights installation. While summertime normally calls for outdoor dining, a heat wave made the glass-walled, mid-century-inspired dining room seem like a better option. Once we were seated, a mile-high loaf

We split a Sausage Flatbread (12) with spicy Nduja sausage, red onions, cacao cavallo cheese and japapenos. Very delicious.

Such a nice place to eat all around! I had a truly well-made pear and walnut salad, serviceable tomato soup, and exceptional iced coffee beverage. The room looks like an art exhibit in itself. My soup was presented in an earthenware bowl, I believe the coaster was made from blown glass, and the table itself has a little fun surprise. Prices are pretty reasonable and the staff is sooo affable! Many vegetarian options. I’m so happy I didn’t walk right past it like I almost did. Seriously, try it!

We had the light lunch after the exhibition at LACMA. Very big seating area. A lot of tables including indoor and outdoor. Good vibe. The staff was very friendly and nice. The menu is easy to navigate. Simply choices. Served very fast and good presentation. Tastes very good. But a little over priced. Simply Thai salad $16 and roasted vegetables with only 4 pieces of brocollini and some red pepper $10. That’s why 4 stars here

I had a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. There were not that many people to my surprise, especially on a Saturday, and the staff member were very kind and helpful when needed. At the time that I am writing this review, a lot of buildings are being built and it is, therefore, very noisy; I advise you to take a reservation indoor to solve this problem and the decoration stays impressive inside. I am not sure if their menu changes depending on the season but if you can, definitely try out their lobster pasta. I thought they had the perfect amount of everything and all the flavors compliment each other.

I would give this 5 stars - but they got rid of their BEST SALAD! The chickpea salad with dill was AMAZING!! They are left with their basic salads and dumbed down the menu! Great service! Great setting! Great food… but just a little less great with the BEST SALAD MISSING.

It’s perfectly located at LACMA and great outdoor dining experience to be surrounded by palm trees, fresh air and amazing views of the museum. Food is amazing, so delicious and beautifully prepared. A must visit for drinks and a very nice meal when you’re at LACMA.

It’s a nice restaurant/bar snuggled in LACMA - perfect to get something to eat and unwind after exploring through all the exhibitions at LACMA. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on Fridays during LACMA’s Jazz Nights. The service can be a little slow at times, but the waiters are all friendly. We started off with a cocktail and glass of wine. Cocktail was okay but I preferred the Prosecco over the Champagne. We also got the olives, Margherita Pizza, Roasted Chicken, and the Croissant Bread Pudding. They were all so good. The olives weren’t too salty and so so good with a hint of rosemary. The Margherita Pizza was really good and crust was amazing too. The Roasted Chicken and asparagus were really good. Im not a huge fan of goat cheese, but thankfully the goat cheese polenta wasn’t too pungent. The Croissant Bread Pudding was yummy. I also love how when I asked for crushed peppers and Parmesan cheese, the cheese wasn’t the fake stuff, but actually freshly shredded cheese. The yummy food and the live jazz was the perfect way to end the night!

Had a lovely evening on a Friday night during the jazz nights, we sat inside so didn’t get to watch but listen. Our food was good not great. I don’t understand why water is only bottled and have to pay. The service was great.

I was visiting from out of the country while my partner and I came across Ray’s during our LACMA stop. Luckily, we had a super welcoming, upbeat, genuine host named Amore and kind, also genuine server named Zack/Zeck who both did amazing to keep us comfortable and satisfied during our time there. Amore even offered to take a cute video of us and was super helpful in general! Zack/Zeck along with another fellow server helped me get a new Summer Pasta (super delicious btw) since I found a hair in it hence the 4 stars for food. They were sincere about it. My partner got the Rays Burger that came with fries and both were extremely high quality for a decently affordable price! One super cool thing about this place was their cutlery and cloth placement; in a pull-out-of-table concept which we both found super unique. Overall, pretty great experience due to staff mentioned, and experience overall :)

Great location, nice views and presentation. Excellent, courteous and friendly staff. My waiter, Hugo, was especially pleasant. The Croque Madame with fresh rosemary and bechamel was divine. Fries were perfectly crispy, and iced coffee was just bitter enough to enjoy on a warm, sunny Saturday at the museums. An LA treasure.

Beautiful presentation & outstanding service. Fungi Misti Pizza crust light & balanced keeping taste of mushrooms as a top note. Heirloom Cauliflowers not only delightful to the eye but the taste and texture of each ingredient there to be enjoyed.
