    Was our first visit to Lemon Grove. Had dinner there before a show at the Pantages. It is a rooftop restaurant atop a very exclusive social club in Hollywood. The ambiance and feel was awesome from the start. Very nicely set up. Have to admit the cocktails were not up to par. I had the Old Hollywood and Thousand Dollar Kiss. Would have been better off with a pour of bourbon neat. The entrees were better than expected. We had the Lemon Pasta with shrimp and the scallops. Both were epic! Hats off to the chef. If you are ever headed to a show at the Pantages, give this place a try.

    We met friends for dinner at this lovely, lively rooftop restaurant and had an amazing time! The food was delicious, the service personable, the atmosphere bustling but not too loud. It was a nice touch to see the cool pool views below as well as the Christmas Tree atop the Capitol Records building! We will be back to be sure!

    Food and service were excellent. Beautiful ambience. A great place to dine before our show at the Pantages. The short rib pasta was the big hit with my friends, but my salad and shrimp were fantastic too.
