A small restaurant located inside this plaza in Beverly Hills that you would never know about unless someone told you. Every time I've been, the waiters, service and management have been so nice and come check on you constantly. There are several sections in the restaurant (I think 3 but I could be wrong), but we've dined in the main room which has a retractable ceiling for when it's too sunny out, they have a bar area that has a small little lounge section in the back of it, and it looks like there may be another section that I haven't been to. The place definitely gives off those Latin vibes and you feel it once you arrive. As for the food, my boss ordered appetizers for the table, which were shrimp tacos, flautas, and empanadas which were all very good! My favorite were the flautas with guac. For my main dish I went with the Chilean sea bass with a side of broccolini and rice. That sea bass was phenomenal! It had a nice sweet glaze on it with a very slit crisp texture on the top. One of the best! The Hideaway goes down as one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills and I highly recommend checking it out. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

The ambiance is beautiful, and the service FANTASTIC. Our server was an absolute gem, I am so sad I forgot it. The Roofop is the kind of spot that feels lively but still relaxed enough to enjoy a long dinner with friends. The food was good, though I've definitely had better for the price. Nothing was bad at all, just not quite as memorable as I expected. The drinks, however, were fantastic. I'm not much of a drinker, but I ordered a martini and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Also, the coffee I happened to order a latte and no joke one of the top coffees I had. Lots of nice photo spots. I would love to come during the day and try their brunch. Between the vibe, the attentive service, and the great cocktails, we had a really fun night. I'd come back again, especially for drinks and the atmosphere.

The Library Bar is small, intimate, and effortlessly cool, with dim lighting, vintage vibes, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and unpretentious. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, it's the kind of place you want to linger. There's no printed menu--instead, one of their highly skilled mixologists asks you a few thoughtful questions and creates a drink tailored exactly to your taste. It's a personalized, artful experience--and our cocktails were nothing short of spectacular. There's no food served, but that honestly wasn't an issue. This is the perfect spot for a date night or a quiet, elevated way to unwind after a day exploring Hollywood. Our only regret? We didn't make it back for a second visit. If you appreciate craftsmanship in a glass, cozy ambience, and great conversation, Library Bar delivers all of that and more. A true standout.

We had the option to sit outside but the sun was beaming with no shade in sight lol. I was bummed that there wasn't air conditioning. We went during dinela so we got appetizers, main dishes and dessert. For starters, we got the guacamole and the barbacoa quesadilla. The quesadilla was fire! Another 14 of 'em! I ordered the fish tacos and my friend ordered the barbacoa tacos. We shared those. Loved the fish tacos. The barbacoa tacos, not so much. They were really dry. I assumed they would be just as good as the quesadilla but they weren't. That's okay the churros made up for it. They arrived so warm and crispy. The service was pretty good, my one critique was that the waiter brought out dessert before we were completely finished with our entrees. I only made this point because my friend ordered the sorbet and if you recall it was humid so she had to start eating it or it would begin melting. I would probably go back on cooler days because I wasn't a huge fan of the sauna experience. Valet parking is available and the restaurant validates for a cheaper price. There is also metered parking on the streets, which is where I parked.

The appeal of this place is not offset by the negatives…read more It's really marketed as more of an exclusive experience. Kind of like a speakeasy. The service is a one out of five for sure. We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

It's the kind of place where you can take your time exploring different pours rather than rushing through drinks. The selection is impressive, ranging from familiar labels to smaller distilleries you don't see everywhere. The bartender was clearly passionate about the craft and offered a couple of suggestions based on what I usually enjoy. I tried a whiskey I hadn't heard of before, and it turned out to be a great recommendation with a smooth, layered flavor. What I liked most was the atmosphere. It felt social without being overwhelming, making it easy to have a conversation or simply sit back and enjoy the drink. The crowd seemed like a mix of locals and people who genuinely appreciate good spirits. The Phoenix stands out as a spot where whiskey takes center stage, but the environment remains welcoming and unpretentious.

We were sitting on a sofa, but I think a big table with chairs might have been a better option for us. Despite these issues, I'm giving 4 stars because I believe it might have just been an off night or not the right company. I would definitely return to give it another try.

The food was good too. Coffee came with a small Madeline. Fresh pot and strong coffee. Refilled with a few check ins. I ordered the butternut squash soup...it was delish and beautiful to look at too. My friend had the Cobb salad, he was happy. He asked for the chopped egg on the side, no problem. We had a leisurely two hour lunch, seated in the area as you enter off the elevator....no city views from seated with striped umbrellas that were kinda worn and dirty, but it was comfy and casual garden-like setting. I did not see the pool beyond since we wanted to stay in the shade so if there were city views from poolside, I didn't get a chance to climb the steps to explore that area, which you can't see from our section. The restroom was only a table away hidden by greenery masking....the hand lotion smelled nice, it was clean restroom but not overly fancy. There was a shift change. And our server introduced the new waiter. Nice. Dessert was the recommendation of our server....he was right, the key lime brulee was 5/5. Light and refreshing, not overly sweet.

This visit was last summer, so we took advantage of their seasonal Aloha menu. I started with the Shake Your Coconuts cocktail - bright blue, tropical, and instantly transported me to the Islands.

The rooftop setting was fantastic - perfect temperature, great ambiance, and a relaxed, vacation-y feel. Our servers were attentive without hovering and made the whole evening feel special. Will we go again? Absolutely. It's already on my list for next summer.

I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich without the bread, devil eggs, and kale salad!! And OMG it was very good!! Even without the bread it was still on point!! The slaw was very tasty and yummy!!

But of course that's nothing new with Hillstone restaurants, they are all phenomenal!!! It's also located next to their sister restaurant South of Beverly. The Honor Wine is right next to it as well. It's dark and gives semi-upscale vibes! It's not that spacious since it's a bar so it's usually a long wait. I recommend coming early or trying to do reservations.

I like the dark vibe it has going though. The most frustrating part of it all? Servers came off super pretentious and would intentionally walk by your table without looking to avoid you asking them anything. Moreover, the place doesn't let you make many changes to your order. For example, if you ask for easy rice on the sushi, they will say no. If you ask for them to put the avocado on the side due to an allergy of one member of the group, they will say no. Our items came out SUPER slow, and this was after waiting a while for a table. The sushi is subpar - heavy on the rice and not enough fish. However, the coconut shrimp roll was good. That all being said, I'd go back and deal with it all again for the chicken sandwich and the burger. Both were a bit heavy on the bread in comparison to the protein, but delicious nonetheless.
