A Restaurant Inspired by Skywalker Ranch

Despite its name, Skywalker Grill is not designed as a Star Wars-themed restaurant. Instead, it draws inspiration from the atmosphere and hospitality of Skywalker Ranch, bringing elements of that world into a contemporary Los Angeles setting. The restaurant is operated by Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, part of Oak View Group, and was designed by Rockwell Group. Its interiors combine contemporary and mid-century modern influences, with warm cherry wood, sculptural forms, softly illuminated surfaces, and an elegant central bar.

California Ingredients and Classic American Flavors

The menu focuses on approachable American cuisine with a California influence. Guests can expect dishes including Dungeness crab cakes, lobster corn dogs, crispy chicken Milanese, honey miso-glazed salmon, house-made pastas, seasonal salads, and the signature Skywalker Ranch Wagyu burger. Ingredients from Skywalker Ranch also play a role, connecting the restaurant’s menu to the legacy behind its name while keeping the overall dining experience distinctly Californian.

Dining Above Los Angeles

One of Skywalker Grill’s defining features is its location. Perched on top of the Lucas Museum, the restaurant offers panoramic views across Los Angeles, creating a setting that changes throughout the day, from bright California afternoons to the city lights after sunset. The restaurant is also open beyond museum hours, making it possible to visit for a meal without necessarily spending the day exploring the galleries.

More Than a Museum Restaurant

Skywalker Grill is open to both museum visitors and the general public, offering lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. The restaurant’s position within the new museum campus makes it part of a larger cultural destination, while its independent hours allow it to function as a dining destination in its own right. The Lucas Museum itself opened on September 22, 2026, bringing a major new institution dedicated to visual storytelling to Los Angeles’s Exposition Park. Skywalker Grill adds another dimension to the experience, combining food, architecture, art, and views of the city in one destination.
