We came here to celebrate our engagement and had an incredible experience! The food + service were phenomenal, and our waiter Tim truly made our night; he gave great recommendations and paced each course perfectly so we could enjoy everything without feeling rushed The restaurant itself is beautiful & chic, filled with greenery, and even though it was busy, it still felt romantic & intimate. Standouts for us were the milk bread, salmon sashimi, tandoor carrots, skirt steak, & lobster tagliatelle! Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails, Brightwood & Roastberry Negroni were just as good! They also surprised us with a handwritten note congratulating us on our engagement, which was such a thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be back! read more

My first proper meal to kick off the new year. Our party of 5 came in for dinner on the first day of dineLA. They're located inside the Edition hotel so if you're driving you'll have to valet since parking on Sunset is minimal. We opted for the dineLA menu, but ended up getting a few other dishes. Two things stood out for me. First is the milk bread. Thank goodness we each got 2 pieces. One would've been a tease. That bread was full of flavor and nearly melted in my mouth. The other was the salmon sashimi. The sauce it sat on was so tasty I wish we had extra bread. Honorable mention to the lobster tagliatelle. That pasta was perfectly cooked. The service was amazing. Miranda and the rest of the team took such great care of us. I didn't catch his name, but the gentleman who dropped off our food was so entertaining. He always came back with a new joke. We ended up staying longer than I anticipated because we ended up with so much food. We were in agreement that everything was full of flavors. Not one dish disappointed any of us. A well deserved Michelin star! read more

I loved the Aesthetic of this restaurant. It is a very sexy vibe. The service was excellent. Gideon was our server and he was amazing and attentive. The food was also delicious. We had the roasted carrots with hummus and pine nuts, the salmon sashimi, the Caesar salad, the NY Strip and the Branzino. I loved the carrots, my steak was cooked perfectly, the salad was elevated by citrus and anchovies: not your average caesar salad. The overall the entire experience was a pleasure. I plan on having a dinner party with friends there because it was such a vibe. read more

The hotel and restaurant are beautiful--modern, trendy, and perfect for date night or a formal dinner. Valet is $22. Service was excellent, very attentive without feeling rushed. Food was good overall, with some clear highlights. The milk bread and lobster pasta were both fantastic and worth ordering. The Caesar salad was solid. For mains, the skirt steak surprised us--super tender with a delicious mole salt. The lamb chops, though flavorful, were extremely fatty and the portion felt disappointing for the price. We enjoyed the experience and the vibe, but for what we spent, the value wasn't quite there compared to other spots. Good meal, beautiful setting, but not quite memorable enough for us to return soon. read more

The food here continues to be amazing. You are always welcomed as soon as you walk in. The food is delectable. I love the Salmon dish, Tandor carrots, Octopus, Salad and so much more. The menu changes seasonally and some main stays continue. Try something from each section. Always trust the service of Gedion he is an excellent server. The ambiance is very calming and inviting too. read more

AVOID!! Health Hazard! My Tongue was profusely bleeding from something in the food. I would post a picture of the many bloody napkins, but I'm worried this review would get removed. Despite this, we were charged the FULL BILL with tip pre-added! This is the first bad review I've ever made, and I've been to many bad restaurants. The food was also very below average, the waiter was annoying and untrained, and the restaurant was empty. read more

Tried their DineLA menu and everything was fantastic. From texture to flavor to presentation. Ernesto was the best! He was very friendly and attentive, I also appreciated that he made me a custom cocktail when I told him my preferences. We came at 6pm on a Sunday (right when they open) without a reservation and they only let us sit at the bar so I highly recommend making a reservation. read more

Delicious fabulous meal with lovely flavors and beautiful ambiance. The decor is beautiful with luscious greens and candlelight. We ordered the Scallops, Branzino, skirt steak, onion rings, and the strawberry rhubarb dessert. Everything was better than anticipated and well portioned. I would order everything again. My favorite was the Strawberry Rhubbarb Tart for dessert. read more

Came here on a friday night for a friend's birthday. Parking is VALET only. The ambiance was perfect and the views were very contemporary mixed with modern elements that were warm and organic; loved the vibe! Our waitress was very welcoming and informative. She was patient as she reviewed the cocktail menu and educated us on our chosen drinks. I ordered the brightwood (10/10); others had a French 75, the Uma & the stone and vine (it's like a white sangria). For food, my friends had the seared ora king salmon and I had the prime skirt steak. With the prime skirt steak, I made sure to smash the garlic before applying it as a paste, sprinkling the mole salt on top of every bite of my steak *chef's kiss 10/10, would happily order again. The milk bread and the tempura onion rings were ordered as well. The milk bread was tasty (8/10) but the onion rings were AMAZING (10/10 best onion rings ever). Definitely will return. Great experience! read more

Ardor is the fine dining restaurant at the West Hollywood Edition and I decided to give them a try on the last night of my trip. The dining experience was excellent. They took me as a walk-in when they opened at 6 pm and I ordered the Spanish octopus. Seared striped bass, charred broccolini and the chocolate expresso torte. Every dish was great - the octopus was perfectly cooked and went really well, that bass had just the right amount of sear but the chocolate torte was the real highlight of the meal for me. Service was great but not too fussy. The restaurant interior is gorgeous - they have a secluded garden area that was just lovely. With tax and tip, this was about $140, which is great for the experience. Highly recommended!!! read more

Overdue post - Came here with my husband for our wedding anniversary dinner! Food was 10/10! We ordered their signature appetizers, entrees, and dessert and they did not disappoint. I love how the chef incorporates global flavors and seasonal vegetables into the menu. Also loved the smokiness in almost all the warm dishes. These were my favorite menu items in descending order: Spanish Octopus (5/5) - omg the best octopus texture I've had. Flavors, texture, everything was on point! Prime Skirt Steak (5/5) - the smokiness and grill was absolutely amazing. Got it medium rare and it was perfect! King Crab Tagliatelle (5/5) - loved the handmade pasta, king crab chunks, and the herby lemon butter emulsion Chocolate Espresso Torte (5/5) - the wedding anniversary chocolate and candle was cute, but the dessert was on point! All sides and layers were so delicious. It's worth the $20 imo. Tandoor carrots (5/5) - again, loved the smokiness and the eggplant croutons; the hummus almost tasted like baba ganoush Milk Bread (3/5) - I know it's their signature dish, but I don't get the hype. Rosemary, salt, and tomato will always be good, but it was just bread to me. I would have preferred some butter / salt on the side. Service was amazing too! Shoutout to Tim who timed our dishes perfectly so we could enjoy it at our own pace! The ambiance was very romantic and fitting for our wedding anniversary. We went to the rooftop after to enjoy the views as well. Will definitely be back to enjoy the other seasonal menu the chef is working on right now. Love Ardor! read more

I'm glad I was able to visit during Dine LA week. The food, service, and indoor dining environment were all wonderful. 5th star earned for the milk bread and perfected flavor of the main dishes. Everything I tried, I would order again- milk bread, Spanish octopus, King crab tagliatelle, chocolate espresso torte. The prime skirt steak my friend got was also delicious. The bread was still warm like it had just come out of the oven, and it felt, briefly, like I was enjoying this from home. I'm not usually impressed by pasta, but the tagliatelle was so flavorful. Staff were all friendly and timely in service. And the indoor mixed flora and low-lighting caters great for small parties and dates. Parking is by valet with the attached hotel, around $20. It was convenient and quick. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and there were 7 of us. I love the interior bar and chic ambience throughout. We were seated on the patio part which reminded us how busy and loud Sunset Blvd really is! The service was OK, a bit slow and unorganized. Drinks took the longest to get. My glass of wine came out without the wine! They corrected that quickly though. The food was pretty good! But portions are small. We double ordered the milk bread and octopus. Both were good but the milk bread was the star! The onion rings were really good too, perfectly seasoned. Caesar salad was OK; the dressing has a strong anchovy taste. The Tomahawk steak was good, a little more char on the outside would've made it amazing. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly good even though it was overly decorated with peas and chives in it, turning the b-day boy off from eating them. Another guest enjoyed his burger and fries. I can attest the fries were good as well. Overall, a tasty experience with a BIG price tag (especially the drinks). Despite the small portions and spotty service, the food IS pretty good. I give this place a 3.8 for real. read more

First note, did not know that this restaurant was attached to a hotel, to the right of Edition. You can enter from the lobby or the elegant double doors to the right side of the hotel. The inside of the restaurant, beautiful, lush, and elegant. The lighting inside added to the ambiance. I kept looking around, taking in the scenes. We came for DineLa and they had great options for the fixed menu. The Milkbread was so soft and buttery, we chose the samon sashimi and my goodness, I want a bottle of that sauce it was soo good! The variety was good for the entrees, all different so you have good, different options to choose from. My parents were obsessed with the cardamom ice cream that came with the cake for dessert. We only added the onion rings to our order because the hostess recommended it and I personally don't like onions, the taste and texture just don't work for me. My family on the other hand love it and my dad said these were the best onion rings he ever tasted. I even got peer pressured into trying it and I will say.....the flavor of the batter.....amazing! I actually did finish it and I did not taste onion....but I knew I was eating it so the texture got to me...but that's a personal issue...nothing to do with how they prepared and if you asked everyone else at the table...it was a solid 10/10. read more

This review primarily focuses on the food - I ordered the tuna crudo, and the prime filet entree. While the flavors were delicious and fresh, I had a major issue with the cook on the steak. I ordered the filet medium rare but after about 30-40 mins of waiting I was brought a well done steak. I didn't want to be "that customer" or have to wait even longer for my food, so I just ate it without sending it back. You'd think that for the premium price you're paying, a chef would know not to cook a well done steak unless specifically asked for one? It was like eating a hockey puck. Sad experience to have for the price you pay here. Other than that the tuna crudo was delish and my friends seemed to have enjoyed their dishes (sweet potato curry//grilled branzino). The service was great and our waiter was kind! 3 stars for that - but you're probably better off making your own steak. read more

Such a cute little restaurant- probably one of the best steak and salmon I've ever had in WeHo!

Ardor - New American Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I have no idea what happened yesterday 01/29 but we drove about an hour to get here to have dinner and to experience Ardor but came to an unannounced closed restaurant. No signage, no posts on socials and Yelp and Google even said they were open. So it was such a bummer to come to an empty restaurant during business hours after dealing with rush hour 101 freeway traffic. We arrived and their doors were unlocked but no sight of employees or customers in sight. Parking situation here is tricky so we even walked a few blocks after finding street parking to avoid valet since I know it can be costly. We were so hungry and felt let down. We were looking forward to it and even took the extra step to check and make reservations on open table (which were available), but instead wanted to avoid putting a CC on file since we were scared to be late and would be charged $50 per person. We were willing to wait for seats once we got there as we assumed it couldn't be a full house since it was a midweek evening. Adding an extra star though since a plus is their restaurant is beautiful, chic and aesthetic. Green plants placed tastefully throughout and comfy looking seats. Can't speak on the food for obvious reasons but their menu items sounded great according to online posts. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner, the ambiance looked nice in photos and the menu was intriguing, so off to WeHo we went! We had a reservation, so we're seated immediately, but there were only two other groups in the restaurant, so getting a table wasn't going to be a problem. Started off with cocktails, of course, is there any other way to start a dinner? I got the Monkey See, Monkey Do, which sounded very interesting and, in reality, was very good and complex. The different notes of the ingredients come through with a nice banana flavor bringing up the end. Definitely a well crafted cocktail. Appetizers were a few with our party of four, but the milk bread is a must! Just super flavorful with a great texture. Just keep the milk bread coming! The scallop Semi Crudo was also nice with plenty of scallop pieces within. The tempura Onion Rings were another night recommended item and, while I won't say no to a good onion ring, I didn't see it as an item at an upscale restaurant. But, they were seasoned very well, probably the best seasoned onion ring I've ate to date. Entrees came next. The Ardor Burger, I was really hoping it would be better then it was. It just didn't stand out to me in any way. With do menu burgers available around LA, it was forgettable. The Pacific Striped Bass was cooked well but it definitely felt like something was missing from the dish. The filet mignon was cooked very well, as was the strip steak. Would definitely say, if you're coming to Ardor, for entrees, go with the steaks, they were the best of the entrees. Overall, a nice restaurant with cute ambiance. Some dishes were hits (talking to you milk bread) while others need a makeover (work on it Ardor Burger). Drinks were very good. A nice date meal spot if you're looking for one read more

This place is simply stunning. Unfortunately the rooftop was closed the evening we went but even the indoor dining experience was just exquisite. You are surrounded by plants and it just feels so welcoming. Staff had amazing hospitality. My burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, and topped with fresh ingredients, making every bite a flavorful treat. The salad was crisp and vibrant, providing a nice balance to the meal. The drink selection complemented the meal well, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes. I had the Blonde and Ember and these were top notch. My wife had a couple of other drinks and she was pleased as well. Overall, this dinner was a satisfying experience for my wife and I that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a elegant, unique and delicious dining experience. read more

Tucked in the corner of the Edition Hotel on Sunset Blvd is Ardor. The beautifully decorated dining room with warm wood leads out into their lush green covered patio. The servers and host stand staff are all very attentive and kind. My friend and I opted to go for part of DineLA where the 3 course menu plus a milk bread course was $65. The food didn't disappoint. The milk bread was delicious and topped with just the right amount of sea salt with a tomato baked in. The octopus appetizer was seasoned well. I ordered the steak option and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. The chocolate dessert was delightful. They do add an automatic gratuity to the bill. Valet even with validation from the restaurant is a bit pricey at $22 for 3 hours. Overall it was a good DineLA experience. read more

Food was delicious and a nice presentation. We had the Milk bread, Caesar salad with asparagus, bass sashimi, branzino filet (it was dry), I prefer the whole grilled branzino, onion rings were awesome with umami powder and for dessert we had the chocolate espresso tarts with cardamom ice cream, really tasty. Our server, Miranda, was on her game, she was knowledgeable, personable and available for questions. She also took pictures for us. The ambiance was over the top! It was like being in an exquisite rainforest. It was beautiful. We will return! read more

The food was delicious and the ambiance is like no other that I have experienced in town. It's so tucked away that you'd almost forget you're right on Sunset. The service was INCREDIBLY SLOW. We had an earlier reservation, and the restaurant was pretty quiet to begin with. There was a huge group of at least 12-14 who arrive after my party of 3, and they were served more quickly than us. We were celebrating my friend's birthday, so this experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. If I go back, it won't be for a long time. read more

We went to Weho to grab food and lo behold found this spot where there is actually availability on a Sunday brunch without having to rsvp. We street parked on a meter across the streets because they only had hotel valet parking available in front. We walked in and were seated right away. The brunch hours just opened and there were practically no one which was amazing. Lights are dim with clean spacious dining area. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and main dish which all came to ~$180 (18.5% gratuity is auto added to the bill) great, speedy, attentive customer service. Food was delicious but I've heard dinner menus different and more delicious like that one item: gooseberry pizza! I will most definitely be back for dinner here. Overall I absolutely loved my experience for a pricey point. read more

My first time here and my last time. The food is okay but the service is horrible. We waited over an hour for our food. No apology, no excuse. I'm definitely not coming back to this place. There's other restaurants in the area that have far better service and food for that matter. read more

Ambiance: Dressy, Modern Art Deco Service: Great The staff was very attentive, from the host to the server. The team explained every dish in detail and communicated each course's progression. Food: Delicious The food was prepared very well. Even if some dishes didn't align with my preferred taste palate, the quality of ingredients and preparation was excellent. My recommendations: STARTERS Milk Bread: Light and airy bread you can pull apart, with tomatoes in each crevice. Tuna Tartare: Really fresh tuna served with lettuce for a healthy wrap. Mains: MAINS Steak: Very tender and juicy (order it cooked to the chef's recommendation). Branzino: A high-quality fish with a tender, non-rubbery texture. Well-seasoned, deboned, and overall a well-balanced main. SIDES Broccolini: Simple but very well cooked and complements the steak nicely. Oyster Mushrooms: Cooked to tenderness and served with a delicious green herb sauce. DESSERT Hazelnut Brownie: Rich chocolate brownie with a delicious creamy interior. Mango Rice Pudding: A refreshing coconut-based rice pudding with a nutty-tasting jam on top. TIPS Parking: Valet or street parking is available. The restaurant is located in The West Hollywood Edition hotel and is a great spot to visit before or after your meal, as there are lounge areas, a beautiful bar, pool, and fireplace. read more

Kind of hard to find (they're inside a hotel) but we figured it out. Really beautiful restaurant on the smaller side. Dim lighting, very romantic vibe. Our server was great - attentive but not overly intrusive. We got two mocktails, two entrees, dessert and one appetizer. Like others have said, the milk bread is a must for an appetizer! It's light, fluffy Japanese inspired bread with salt and dried tomatoes. For mains, we got the skirt steak and branzino. Both were incredible - perfectly cooked, seasoned and garnished. Most high end restaurants don't include sides with main dishes and I think that's what we were missing. I'd recommend ordering 1-2 sides for 2 people to share. We got their banana foster dessert which had caramelized banana chips, marshmallow and ice cream. It was indulgent and perfect after a savory dinner. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because my drink didn't come out until I was almost done with the appetizer - not ideal but also not the worst thing. They also apologized for the wait. But nothing was comped or brought out to make up for it. Not something I'd expect anywhere else but at a fine dining restaurant where I'm paying over $200 I would expect that. Highly recommend for a nice dinner in a more intimate setting. read more

Wow, one of the best meals I've had in a while. We came the day after Valentine's Day so they offered a limited a la carte menu.

If you can indulge me for a minute, I want you to close your eyes. Closed? OK, now visualize arriving at your favorite boreal paradise resort. Ocho Rios? Iguassu? Sarawak? Got it? That's the feeling you get when you arrive at The Edition Hotel and its unique restaurant, Ardor. The hotel itself is grand in scale, everything oversized from the marbled driveway that draws you around to the land-of-the-giants entry. An attendant glides forward, opens your door, offers his name, asks for yours and how he can serve you today and you step out to be surrounded by black luxury rides of every description from Beemers to Maseratis -- and, they must be black, unless, of course, you are sporting a gleaming sapphire Porsche this particular evening. Once inside the marble clad main floor, the Edition spreads before you with all the comforts you expect at your resort: an inviting bar, glowing in the distance, a sweeping staircase that begs you to see what mysteries perch above, deep couches draped with oversized faux fur throws, a crackling fireplace, and a pool table -- of course! When your table is ready, you step back outside and make your way past ferns that curl out as if to grab you and guide you inside. Once the massive wooden doors open, you enter, well, LA's own special version of paradise. I don't need to describe it further -- see my photos and those of others here who have reacted the way I did, with delight. You relax immediately as you are whisked to your table and the service starts and never stops coming. It seems a team of no fewer than six smiling Ardoristas are attending to you at every juncture from cocktails (offered by a literally beaming and voluble sommeliere) to appetizers to mains to desserts and espresso. The menu is eclectic, the portions exquisite and diminutive (so you can try more dishes without feeling overwhelmed). The beauty in each presentation is the point, until ... you taste your selections. Then you know that the real point is the trouble Chef Fraser and his expert team pour into every item on one single sheet. Now, just work with me one minute more and close your eyes again (it isn't hard to picture paradise now, is it). Deep in meditation? A blaring siren, two very large vehicles honking their horns, the roar of afterburners and ear-drum splitting audio shatter your dreamscape in seconds. Uh-oh. This is the only drawback to Ardor. It sits on Sunset, cleverly disguised behind a thick wall of greenery so none on the pavement are the wiser. This is no one's bad. Just choose a seat far enough away from the Strip to enjoy the peaceful reverie of this well-heeled moment and you are truly transported for just a few hours, right in the heart of the metropolis. It is worth every single penny. read more

This post should have been a review of Ardor at the Edition Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Instead, it's a story about a complete lack of customer care and a restaurant hiding behind its own broken booking process. We chose Ardor because they're listed as a participant in Dine LA Restaurant Week. The Dine LA website has a reservation link. Click it, and it sends you directly to OpenTable. So later, when Thanh made the reservation, he simply used the OpenTable app because that's exactly where the Dine LA site sends you. Completely reasonable. To hold the table, we had to provide a credit card and agree to a $50 PER PERSON no-show fee. We arrive. We're seated. Menus go down but not the Dine LA menu. When we ask, we're told Dine LA is "by reservation only." We explain we did make a reservation. A Dine LA menu is brought out and we order two $26 martinis from their regular drink menu. Minutes later the server comes back to say we can't order from it the Dine LA menu because we made a "regular" reservation and they only prepared a limited number of those dishes. Let's break this down: The promotion sends you to OpenTable You book on OpenTable You give your credit card and accept financial penalties You are seated and service begins Then you're told you don't qualify for the promotion that sent you there That is not a diner error. That is a restaurant failing to align marketing, reservations, and operations and then making the guest pay for it. And the excuse? They said they had to protect those dishes for people who made the "correct" reservation and might run out. What kind of restaurant operates with such razor-thin planning that honoring two guests already seated could supposedly cause them to "run out" of multiple entrée options at the beginning of dinner service? Prix-fixe menus are not rare collectibles. Kitchens don't pre-assign entrées to reservation names. Even if inventory were tight, hospitality says you take care of the guests in front of you , not hypothetical future ones, especially when the confusion came from your own booking pathway. At that point we told the server that we would be leaving because we specifically came for Dine LA. He asked if we still wanted the martinis that hadn't even arrived yet. We left without dining. Not because of the menu -- because of how it was handled. There are too many restaurants in Los Angeles that actually understand hospitality. Avoid Ardor. #ArdorWeHo #EditionHotel #WestHollywood #DineLA #DineLARestaurantWeek #LAEats #LosAngelesDining #RestaurantFail #HospitalityMatters #CustomerServiceFail #FoodieLA #WeHoEats #DiningOut #PrixFixe #OpenTable jayhdeeeats #BadService Ardor EDITION Hotels read more

I went back again last night and had a great time. They changed the crab pasta a little bit, but it was still good. I had the hamachi crudo, which was just OK. The milk bread was great, as usual. We tried the chicken, which I found to be a bit too smoky but my friends liked it. We got the potatoes and the broccolini as sides. The manager, the hostess, and, a food runner/waiter named Martin were all amazing! The outside patio was closed due to weather, but it was gorgeous inside. I highly recommend this place and I'm always surprised it's not packed based on the quality of the food and the service. read more

Pretty interior and super nice & attentive staff! That being said, this rating only reflects our experience with the food, which was very average. We ordered a lot, and don't get me wrong -- everything was good & seemingly high-quality, but nothing was particularly extraordinary in flavor apart from the Milkbread & the Pineapple Arroz con Leche (vegan). Milkbread 5/5 -- incredibly warm & soft, comes straight out of the oven! Best bread I've ever had Tempura Onion Rings 2/10 -- Crunchy & good texture, but way too much pepper & honestly comparable to fast food chain flavor Tuna Tartare 2/5 -- Nothing special, too zesty imo & needs more mayo or creaminess. Really just tastes like I'm being served tuna that I can get anywhere else. Sweet Potato Curry 3/5 -- Curry is plain and boring, thought it'd at least taste like sweet potatoes but it doesn't. I did like the sweet potatoes and chips though. Aleppo Crusted Shrimp 3/5 -- The polento was delicious but the shrimp was cold and lacked flavor which was a disappointment. I've had some delicious shrimp entrees in the past and this is nothing in comparison. Tandoor Carrots 2/5 -- I mean it just tastes like roasted carrots & hummus. Nothing special, can make at home Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream 3/5 -- Super minty (taste like the leaf itself), but my friends claimed it tasted like toothpaste. Also not sure what was going on with the pudding/chocolate concoction beneath, there was barely any pudding Pineapple Arroz Con Leche 5/5 -- LOVED this! Presentation is lacking IMO (just looks like a plate of a bunch of stuff), but it was delicious nonetheless. Loved the coconut & the white chocolate balls. read more

The reason they get 3 stars is because of the friendly and attentive service. But the kitchen fails miserably to justify the menu prices. I had the lamb chops which were bland - the beet paste they serve it with is even more bland. My partner had the New York strip steak which was also incredibly bland. Neither was worth the price... They also kept trying to upsell the onion rings...we did not order and ordered the tuna crudo. Again at the table they pushed the onion rings and we asked if they were actually that good since we had been offered them 3 times, they said yes, they were not. They were fairground level onion rings - not worth $18. Again friendly service, but what should have been a $100-150 meal at best cost us over $300... read more
