Yumi L.

Was sooo let down by this place. First of all, the hostesses are rude. Was charged an entertainment fee when there were no live dancers. Was sat in a small table despite lots of other seats open, so couldn't even enjoy the ambiance. Food was just okay, tasted like something that came out of Cheesecake factory but 2x the cost. The hamachi was stellar. The only good part was our server. Service felt rushed though. No photos allowed inside. Valet parking or very scarce street parking. No residential parking, its only available to people with permits.

Recently went here for the first time for a friends birthday. We had a 7PM reservation and were done right when the entertainment started so I can't review that. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was good but in my opinion a bit over priced. Nothing really stood out to me. The ambiance of the space is dim lit and intimate. My friends jokes that it reminded them of the restaurant instead the pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney. Worth trying once but nothing special in my opinion.

Shrimp Vodka Pasta

The ambiance in Delilah's is everything! The dancers & the dim lighting. Everything is spot on. I didn't mind that they sent us to the bar as we waited for our table-- we were enjoying everything around. Eventually when we got sat at our table, our server was very lovely, and even brought us some free drinks to accommodate our long wait. The vodka pasta was amazing, and the drinks were even better.

This place claimed they had a jazz Sunday happy hour but they didn't. They also said jazz started at 6 so we made a reservation for 6 but it didn't come on until closer to when we were leaving. We tried their steak which was pretty good. But their mashed potatoes had something crunchy in it. The carrot souffle was burnt and not tasty. The chicken fingers were the star of the show but for $21 they were not great. The server also told us there would be 5 pieces (there were 5 of us) and it came with 3. Similarly with the tuna tartar we were told there would be 5 but it came with 4. And when we tried to order more, we couldn't find a server. Would not recommend this place.

Chopped salad
Alesia B.

They have Valet which is important in this busy area. The restaurant is dark and romantic. I loved the vibe. Live entertainment was a plus. The food was not bad. The chopped salad was delicious, i prefer my branzino deboned particularly in a dark restaurant where it's hard to see the bones. The service was great; our waitress Kylie was very attentive. Service was excellent on a busy night. Overall i had a great date night and id go back.

I called 911 at 2:05am on 2/2 at location: Delilah's off Santa Monica, CA. The police arrived to Delilah's to talk to me about a verbal then physical altercation that happened at 1:50am in Delilah's parking lot, valet area. It all started near the crowd that was outside of Delilah's. Delilah establishment, had a crowd of women and men waiting outside in the cold from 1am-2am all trying to get inside the club, there was no LINE structure, just people waiting patiently and upsettly due to the lack of structure and organization on WHO they were letting in the club and why we were having to wait long just to get in. There was no out loud instructions being told to the crowd from the club employees, no one knew who they were picking out the crowd, but I was told to stand there and that I'd get in. I stood there for about 45 mins. Along with other popular people who had yet to get in, lots of women, and men. One thing I noticed when I asked a club employee (security, bouncer or dude near valet in black) outside a question, is that he was rude. The answer to my question as met with unseasoned answers and bad tones, which was an another attitude. This was a 2nd red flag to me as the first red flag was the lack of respect for possible customers waiting to get into this establishment. The staff could had been more considerate of the women standing outside all that time with intentions to support the establishment. No consideration for us, just pure neglect. The reason I had to call the police, 911, was that I was verbally and then physically assaulted at 1:50am and the police came around 2:15am. The young man who I came with, verbally abused me due to me complaining to him about the wait outside, he then threw many bad words at me along with threats, provoking a reaction from me, and so I slapped him when he was chasing me down in the alley to my car... which my car was parked in the Delilah's parking lot. He parked my car there by himself earlier. I didn't know it was parked there till I seen my car gps on my phone. When I slapped him out of self defense so he could leave me alone, he retaliated and punched me hard 2x and a Delilah's car attendant seen everything, he was just soooo in-compassionate about it as a witness, I was asking him for his help, it was black male. The next thing that happened was I was able to get in my car but the young male who battered me kept acting irate and abusive and opened my passenger door while I was leaving the parking lot and attempted to punch me again 2x, which he did, and then the car attendant seen him do it again and then tried to grab him but the other car attendant, a Mexican man, meanly, told me to leave the lot, neglecting everything that was transpiring in that moment on Delilah's property. I pulled in front of Delilah's then parked a lil up, then the cops showed up and parked a lil up from Delilah's ready to talk to me about the altercation. The police were the most compassionate and empathetic towards me. They cared about me. I was able to tell them how to drove 5 hours from vegas just to come to Delilah's for this after Grammy event that the young man invited me to. I told the police, I just wanna go home now since he abused me here. I had a bad memory and experience now at Delilah's and having never been inside, and you know what? The police said they didn't like Delilah's either. The police said that I was too pretty for this all to happen to me and to not let a man dictate my life. Don't cry. As I cried telling them that I moved away from LA just because of this type of behavior. Side note, in vegas, I don't wait in long lines for clubs, clubs are organized and have lines established and even give free drink tickets to women on guest lists! I experience top of line service out there at their clubs. Clubs are in casinos where it's safe and warm. The police waited with me and told me my rights and we talked and they even came back to comfort me again as I was gathering my thoughts about what to do next. They told me I can call the LAPD, they can assist me going forward with dealing with the young man. Which I did. The man was crazy and an abuser. That's besides the point. I'm disappointed in the establishment Delilahs, no help from them whatsoever....they didn't show care even in front of Delilah employee witness. I spent my time seemed like all night trying to be patient and wait in a crowd to get into Delilahs, driving hours from home, getting dressy for, Delilah's. I hope the boss of Delilah's knows this is the type of horror that can go on outside of their establishment when certain neglect for potential customers are put to the side. I hope someone is held accountable and responsible for this experience.

Went to Delilah's last night with my girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. It was my first time, and the place was packed for a Friday night. We had a reservation for 8 but arrived around 8:18 and unfortunately lost our table since we passed the 15 minute grace period. Not ideal, but it happens. That said, one of the servers, a young African American woman with beautiful braids, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She reassured us and told us she would find us once something opened up near the bar. We grabbed drinks, and by about 8:45 we were seated, which honestly was not bad considering how busy it was. We ordered a bunch of starters to share. The chicken tenders were bland and def forgettable. The tuna tartare (didn't have any) was liked. The grilled cheese with fontina, sharp cheddar, and tomato bisque was the STANDOUT. Very buttery, hot, and comforting. Easily the best starter we ordered. The pigs in a blanket with wagyu beef hot dogs, honey mustard, and cornichons were fine but nothing memorable. For my entrée, my gf and I shared Tony's famous baby back ribs, which came with coleslaw and a rosemary biscuit. The ribs reminded me a little of home in Texas, which I appreciated. My girlfriends ordered the crispy roasted chicken and the burger, and both enjoyed their meals. The Brussels sprouts and the roasted sweet corn with chili butter, pickled onion, and parmesan were absolutely amazing! Be sure to order. Food aside, the vibes were on point. There was a live singer performing top R&B hits along with old school jams, which really elevated the night and made it feel like a true celebration spot. All in all, good food, great atmosphere, and solid service despite the initial hiccup. I would definitely go back, especially for the ambiance and the sides alone.

Came in for late night food and drinks after our broadway show. We have visa dining access so we got a cozy booth even it was last minute reservation. Place is old Hollywood glamour theme, it was very lively with friendly crowds. We decided on caviar service and cheesecake, also some delicious cocktails. Vesper and Grey goose martinis were great pours. The service was very friendly but was slow at times. I can see how this place has been around for long time. It was a pleasant late night meal and we enjoyed the food, drinks and performances!

This has to be the most pretentious restaurant in all of LA... and that is truly saying something. We arrived early for our reservation, grabbed a drink at the bar, and watched our reservation time come and go like a Hollywood career. When we asked the host about it, she calmly informed us she'd "get us from the bar." Cool cool cool. Mind you, half the restaurant was empty, but vibes over logic, I guess. Once seated, a back waiter promptly brought water (credit where it's due), but our table was so wobbly our wine glass was auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. We asked to move to one of the other 20 available tables and instead they tried to fix it. When that failed, they moved us one table over... only to reseat our original wobbly table to another couple who immediately complained about the same thing. Full circle moment. Then came the wait. And the wait. And the wait. It took about 18-20 minutes for our server to appear, to the point where we flagged down the server handling the table next to us. The wild part? There were bussers and staff just standing around everywhere--apparently none of them trained to take an order. Make it make sense. Drinks were solid: I had the lychee cocktail (very good), husband had an Old Fashioned and a Tempranillo (also good). Food highlights: * Steak tartare with caviar = actually delicious. No notes. * Lobster cavatelli = aggressively mid. Lobster was fine, pasta was oddly chewy. * Mac and cheese + mushrooms = the real stars of the show. Order these and emotionally attach yourself to them. The real plot twist? An "entertainment fee" magically appeared on the bill--presumably to pay for the live pianist who started playing halfway through our meal. (Love a surprise charge. Very festive.) The restaurant is beautifully decorated, especially for Christmas. It's definitely the place to be seen... if you could see anything at all. The lighting is so dim I'm not fully convinced the food existed. For the amount we paid, I'd happily stay home in my pajamas and order a week's worth of takeout next time. Same satisfaction, less wobble, zero entertainment fee.

We recently dined at Delilah and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience which was really sad since my partner was so excited to eat here and was raving about it for a bit. When we arrived, we stood waiting for a host for a bit and didn't feel welcomed at all. Sensed attitude once a second host came as well. Not a great start. We can deal and push aside bad attitude if the food is great but it was not. The food was even worse. The chicken tenders completely fell apart. Couldn't even pick it up and bite into it. The breading would come right off and the chicken was like mush. Better off at raising canes or chick fila. The burger was overly greasy yet somehow dry at the same time. The bun wasn't even toasted, it was cold and quickly became soggy and disintegrated as soon as we picked it up. For the prices they charge, that's unacceptable. My partner ended up not even eating except a few bites and was over it. Sad thing is, looks can be deceiving. To top it off, both of us ended up with food poisoning later that night and it feeling the greatest. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. Other than the nice decor and vibes, there really isn't a reasoning to go unless you're going just for drinks and not the food.

Roasted Branzino for Two
Paula B.

I came to Delilah for my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I left feeling a little underwhelmed, especially for the price. The ambiance is definitely the highlight. It's dark, romantic, and feels very "scene-y." The live band is a great touch and adds to the overall vibe. It's definitely a place you go for the atmosphere more than the food. Speaking of the food, it was hit or miss. For the price point, I really do think there are plenty of other spots with better quality and more memorable dishes. The skirt steak with truffle butter was the standout and honestly the best thing we ordered. It was flavorful, cooked well, and worth it. The macaroni gratinée was also really good and had a lot of flavor. The branzino was very mid, not bad, just nothing special. The Caesar salad was super basic and forgettable. Definitely not something I'd order again. Dessert was the Kendall's Slutty Brownie, which was delicious and probably my second favorite thing of the night. Overall, I don't regret going, but I wouldn't rush back for the food. Delilah feels like a place you go for the ambiance and experience rather than an amazing meal. For what you're paying, I expected a little more.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews; probably just the clientele who dine here and expect only the best, but there was nothing wrong with my experience at Delilah. My friends were in town originally from the LA area and they were told to check out Delilah. It was a total of 5 of us and we were promptly sat and waited on by exceptional wait staff. The drinks were very good and the appetizers were amazing. We ordered the Tempura squash blossoms and the beef tartare to share. Both very flavorful! I ordered the Branzino for my main course and I think this is the best branzino I've ever had. Tender meat and crispy skin with garnishes that complimented the fish very well. Not to mention the addition of very peaceful live music to add to the prohibition aesthetic, we all enjoyed ourselves!

Jason M.

Overall 10/10. Will be back and will most likely order the same items! The lobster rolls and caviar were 10/10. See you soon Delilah!

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

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.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

This has been an LA spot for decades... literally!…read more I have been here several times over the years and what I appreciate is that this place knows how to evolve with the times, from originally opening up as the place to go to on the strip when I was in college to a networking spot when I was in business school and even to 2025 where they now have a fun and festive Mariah Carey Holiday Bar for the holidays. Drinks and food are what you expect in LA. expensive. But service from bartenders is fast (once you can get in!) and they are friendly. Valet at the hotel or several lots in the area. Meters if you can find them. But watch out for those pesky signs!

Skybar is located at the Mondarin Hotel. Entry is to the right of Casa madera. I went for the…read moreMariah Carey pop up. Aesthetically they did a wonderful job. Vibes and layout was MC all the way. The pre purchase ticket came with the option of only two drinks which I wish the whole cocktail menu was available. Otherwise the cocktails were okay, nothing amazing and definitely not worth the price. There was also limited seating-- I wish they provided more seating options to the tickets sold. The karaoke booth was also a great idea but the music in the head phones was different than what was playing in the actual booth so made it confusing. Also the $9.99 price for two songs was definitely a money grab and didn't understand the booth so we lost out on one song. Overall, fun idea but could have been better.
