These one-star reviews are ridiculous this is the nicest gym in LA…read more Absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean facilities, a wonderful varied slate of classes (yes, you need to sign up in advance -- I don't know why this is news to people frustrated that you "can't get in," trust me, you can if you actually sign up when the classes go live), gorgeous locker rooms and pool area. Very kind and knowledgeable instructors and friendly staff, and it's not overrun with annoying people and ring-light influencers which is nothing short of an accomplishment in a specialty gym in this neighborhood. It feels relaxed and like there is privacy and mutual respect. The only detraction of one star is that the restaurant has really confusing hours and has sort of been a non-concept for months on end now. You should be able to get a drink after 5 p.m., otherwise what's the point of belonging to a gym with a beautiful bar and restaurant?

They have a plethora of work out classes ranging from beginner ballet, sound baths, yoga, Pilates, dance etc. I have been slowly working my way through the different classes to try them all. They also have "circles" which are group meetings. These circles cover things from trauma, hormonal changes, to writing and art classes. I have tried a couple of circles, which has been nice to just be in the community and talk/get to know one another. Lastly they do mixers here-n-there and other events. I have yet to try a mixer, but I am sure I will at some point. The circle is really for everyone and every age ... I will say it does lean towards more 40 and up though. I'd love to have some more younger members join! If you're looking for community, this is definitely the place!

This past Friday I attended the Dining in the Dark at the City Club and had so much fun. I was…read moresigned up via Renaissance club and so I was seated with members from the club and we ended up fast friends laughing joyfully as we ate blindly. First, there is parking at the building but it's easy to miss because of traffic but it's a quick enterance and then down a steep tight hill into the lot. Valet is there but I found a self parking spot. For the event our parking was validated which made the parking only $8 which was a relief since parking around the area can be quite pricey! Inside the room all the tables are intimately set up according to how many people were on the reservation, and the room is surrounded by windows where you can see the amazing LA view. I love that according to what you're going to eat you get a color coded candle. Meat is red candle, Fish is blue, and vegetarian is green. When it is time to go dark they announce and you blind fold yourself with a blindfold that you get to keep at the end! There are 3 courses and I will not ruin it by telling you what I ate so you can be surprised. After each course the chef comes in and he tells you what the food was. I honestly expected that because my sight was gone that I would be hyper aware but somehow I guessed wrong about some of the ingredients! It was such a cool experience and the dessert was so good I wanted more. Dining in the dark was such a wonderful experience. If you need date ideas this would be a really great date idea! After the dinner was over, I explored the 51sr floor a little before heading to the elevator and it's really beautiful up there. There are some rooms with a TV and table and chairs and all the windows. In the waiting area there are even binoculars to use. Such a cool experience I would definitely do it again!

Staff is friendly and helpful and the catering is pretty good. I enjoy seeing DTLA from this vantage point as there aren't too many other buildings out there that have similar views. Only thing is that this is valet only. So hopefully you're being hosted for parking because it's pricey!

The location is prime Beverly Hills and parking is valet although there are some free parking lots nearby that allow 2 hours. The food selection is great, a little bit of everything for all types of hunger. Salmon was delicious and their Creme Brule was so yummy. Their specialty cocktails were great as was their wine list. Overall a great experience and would recommend.

Ingrid was our waitress and was incredible. She was kind and personable, and provided recommendation. Rene who was also working the area also had great customer service and was attentive. Food was perfection. The cheesecake 10/10. The drinks, exceptional. The mushrooms and mashed potatoes, wow. If you ever have the opportunity to eat here, do it. I will say the wait staff upstairs in the lounge were the complete opposite of the restaurant. They didn't even say "thank you" or "have a good night" after you paid and tipped which was a bit off-putting. Its a member only club but I would assume staff is encouraged basic etiquette and friendliness. Overall a great experience. Removed a star because I think customer service should be consistent throughout the establishment, especially if you are paying that much money.

We headed downstairs for the event and kicked things off with appetizers. that hummus with pita and fresh veggies? dangerous. smooth, flavorful, and beyond addictive. I had three plates and would've gone back for more if i didn't need to save room. I thought, "okay, this is a solid start"... but you know how these things go, sometimes the appetizers are the peak. Not here! Then... the entrées came out, and I knew I was in the right place. We enjoyed: fresh, crisp salad juicy fried chicken creamy mashed potatoes steamed broccoli a vegan mushroom pasta so good it had me singing and humming. The standout: tender, perfectly cooked salmon topped with pickled veggies -- an unexpected treat that took the flavor to a whole new level. after one bite, Iinstantly knew this is how i'll be cooking my salmon from now on. i'm talking rich, savory, soulful perfection. The staff? wonderful. attentive, kind, and fully in tune with the energy of the event. the kind of service that makes you feel cared for without hovering. Overall, the gathering spot left me thoroughly impressed -- from the ambiance to the food to the hospitality. I would absolutely host an event here, and i'll be back whenever i'm in town because I fully intend to work my way through their entire menu. This place is a gem. Check them out!
