- FFelixLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWent here for brunch with my guy friends and had an absolute great time. We went for the Saturday brunch experience and had a reservation for 11:30am. The hostess was a little late opening up; but got us checked in and seated promptly when they did arrive. Our server was Victoria and her partner in crime Johnny. She set us up and gave us the full rundown of how everything works: from the omelette, crepe stations, to the buffet room and the way she could split the check at the end. She was amazing and kept our drinks flowing. The drinks can be a little pricy (I had the ooh LaLa (a watermelon margarita with a tajin rim) for about $18 per but it was pretty and delicious)They had a live DJ who was setting the vibe and and great taste and transitions. We had a congo line with some of the other patrons in the building. There was 8 of us and it didn’t feel like we were ever in limbo or waiting. It all flowed well and we could all split the check evenly and it was about $135 pp. I will definitely be back!More infoLoulou Rooftop Restaurant and LoungePrice: Expensive• French• Santa Monica•4.6
