    Delicious breakfast  Bagels and lox and avocado toast with poached egg. Bloody Mary and mimosas were excellent.

    Breakfast done well with impeccable service. Quite pricey though. Beautiful setting and ambiance. You just feel rich and luxurious sitting here.

    This is an incredible place, hands down one of the best restaurants in LA and I have been to many. The food is a true art, all ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality. The service is excellent and the music band that they have creates an incredible ambiance!

    Service is excellent, attentive, and the food is really good! I think each chef who made your dish brings it out as different chefs brought my apps, dessert, drinks, etc. I never got to dine here when it was Jean George sadly. I had stayed here at the Waldorf Astoria while it was here, but I was only here for 1 night so I dined on the rooftop for the better view. Not sure why they changed it to Esplette, but I wonder if part of the reason was if you sit on the patio it is LOUD because of the traffic. Just pm the other side of the wall is the street. This might explain why they also keep the music volume a smidge louder than it needs to be. Also, WHY is a non alcoholic drink $12!!! I got a Shirley Temple. All the food I ate tonight was chef's kiss. I would def order all the dishes again. I got salmon carpaccio, watermelon feta salad, langoustine which was cooked PERFECTLY and the tiramisu. During my stay, I will def be eating here again & trying other dishes.

    Ora King Salmon - 5/5, crispy skin on top and moist with well paired mushrooms and white wine butter sauce

    Food - High quality, cooked with attention to detail Service - Very attentive, quick to remove plates and refill glasses, everything done with a smile on their faces Ambiance - Beautiful interior, high ceilings, and quiet, great for a drink at the bar or a relaxing dinner

    Although the service was quite good, I got food poisoning from the tuna. I was very ill for 48 hours. Be aware!

    We usually come to the Waldorf Astoria for the rooftop lounge. We decided to give this restaurant a shot but what a disappointment. The quality of the food was not great at all. The service was good and I wish the food will leave up to the expectations. Price is on the higher side, too bad it didn't match with the quality of the food. Had to try it out, but won't come back that's for sure.

    Had an amazing dinner, with huge thanks to server Simaran (sp?) for going far beyond even above and beyond. Seriously, even by Waldorf standards, she shone. My other half is very sensitive to spicy food, and the bar snacks apparently had cayenne pepper. No problem, she came back with a plate of additional snacks and a large bowl of unspiced nuts. Mind blown. Had a lovely glass of Riesling on their patio (gorgeous summer night), followed by dinner in the restaurant. Simaran was the perfect blend of attentive without being intrusive. Everything was smooth, and nothing was a problem. Had a lovely salad, and a great salmon. Tab was surprisingly reasonable. Always a good to be at the Waldorf, and tonight especially so. Thank you!!!

The decor is top-notch, with a vibe that feels like a PCH getaway, minus the ocean. The staff was professional, friendly, and attentive across the board. Our server had that polished resort-service energy while still being cool and personable. I started with the Two Way Margarita -- or something like that; after the second one, the name got a little blurry. I was a little bummed they had run out of sushi rolls, but they made up for it with the tuna crispy rice and tuna tartare, which were both excellent. Funny enough, both still had sushi elements, so I'm not sure how that worked, but I'm not complaining. For entrees, we ordered the branzino and shrimp curry. The food was very good -- maybe not the best I've ever had -- but the ambience and service elevated the whole night. What might've been an 8.5/10 meal became a true 10/10 experience. I'd definitely recommend Gemma for a date night, anniversary, or anyone looking for a beautiful rooftop dining experience in Beverly Hills.

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.

The host, Adam, was so welcoming and helpful throughout the evening, checking to make sure we were enjoying our food and drinks, even moving us to a different table since our original one was in a wind tunnel blowing up our dresses. I got two cocktails: 1) the special True Colors cocktail in celebration of Pride Month, with proceeds going to the LGBT Center! It had Tequila, Yuzu, Lychee, Passionfruit, topped with a Hibiscus Mezcal Float and a piece of Rainbow Sour Candy. It was refreshing, delicious, and absolutely gorgeous! 2) the Cosmopolitan: made with Grey Goose Vodka, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao, and cranberry. It was pretty tasty, not exactly like a traditional Cosmo and had a bit of a bite to it, but good enough that I got two. My friend and I shared the guacamole which was a pretty decently sized portion and came with a big basket of chips. We also got the Weho Choco Tacos and they were delectable! It's a bit pricey with drinks ranging from $22-$26, but that's to be expected in Weho and especially on Sunset Boulevard. Just something to keep in mind. The crowd was also so nice! We made friends with the couple sitting next to us and watched the end of the NBA finals together on one of their phones. I also met some nice girls in the bathroom and we had a long conversation about the best clothes to pack for a trip to Europe. Everyone was there to have a good time and it showed!

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!

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.

My friend had the Cobb salad, he was happy. He asked for the chopped egg on the side, no problem.
