   I had been wanting to go for 10 months and it sure did not disappoint. Everything fabulous from the amazing cocktails and food that rolled my eyes back in my head. It was everything a great restaurant experience should be.

   Waiter disappeared for long stretches. Very cold inside the restaurant. Food was overpriced. $9 for 6 small pieces of bread.

   Fab food - you COULD make a meal of the appetizers (we had 3, but then moved to the entrees). Run by the chef from “Wolf” on Melrose, which closed 3-4 years ago. Glad he’s back. Oh, and the place has fantastic views. Loved it.

   Can't beat the rooftop dining area and bar. Food and service was also great. Perfect spot for dinner before a show at Hollywood Pantages Theatre. They also offer parking for the show to diners.

   The hotel and decor of the restaurant is amazing! I love the color and design choices. The vibe is very current and modern. The service was great! The food was decent. The biggest drawback is the valet parking of $30.

   Gorgeous restaurant, friendly service. Food was well prepared and unique. Overpriced, but par for the course given it is a roof top restaurant.

    Unfortunately we were told the gas was out so only cold dishes were available, however, as the night progressed we witnessed hot dishes coming out to other tables. We were told this was a reserved large party and the kitchen cooked on electric plates…. So, how is that even fair? Waitress was uppity when asked about this too. We kept having to chase the waitress on our orders and general service. It’s unfortunate because I’ve been before with the full menu and the food is good. Not all the cold dishes were good.
