“The Hollywood Bowl is a magical place,” said Maestro Thomas Wilkins, Principal Conductor for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra since 2014. “Watching the audience react to the orchestra and all of the Bowl’s guest performers is amazing.”
Guests can also enjoy dinner at the Bowl with dishes from Chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne. Choose from three restaurants and three marketplaces, pre-ordered picnic baskets, as well as gourmet delicious dishes for Terrace and Garden boxes at the Bowl. Wine aficionados can also indulge in the Bowl’s Winemaker Wednesdays and Sunday Market Tastings complimentary wine tastings at The Plaza Marketplace with guest winemakers.
“Our goal at the Hollywood Bowl is to provide a true restaurant experience throughout the entire venue, from our Wine Bar to the Backyard to Supper in Your Seats. We source the same locally grown, organic produce and prepare everything just as we do at our Los Angeles restaurant locations. Suzanne and her team of chefs are so talented and passionate, and I think it really shows on the plate,” said Caroline Styne, co-owner and wine director of The Lucques Group.The Hollywood Bowl is a great way to enjoy summer in LA.
