Sorry Not Sorry is West LA’s ritual for serious dinner without the serious face. Chef Kim Vu blends backyard ease with brasserie flair—balancing smoke, depth, and brightness until the flavors lock in. Think ribeye cap with miso demi and marrow butter, heritage pork with chimichurri, market fish finished with chili-garlic aioli, coal-roasted veggies that eat like a main, and party snacks that say the meal’s on. Drinks are just as key: the Garden Glow martini—clarified yuzu, butterfly pea gin, cucumber ice—lands beside its NA twin with the same photogenic sparkle. Large-format cocktails and zero-proof pours keep every crew, date, and celebration included. Guests call it “backyard garden party meets night market.” The 4,000-sq-ft patio glows with fire pits and string lights, while the lounge and front patio offer more ways to gather. Reserve via OpenTable for birthdays, wrap parties, or milestones. SNS is where West LA slows down and makes dinner the main event.
