    Bottomless Mimosa
    Sonya T.

    Besides the cute lil ambiance they got going this restaurant ain't it. We celebrated two birthday and attended their Sunday Brunch. This place is located right outside the Hilton Hotel near Universal studios. Valet is $20/ self parking $15. We sat down on time. We had on waiter for 29 people. The waiter we had was a nice guy but his manager was a prick. The manager stopped our waiter many times to speak with him about things that didn't matter at the moment. However never thought to help the waiter with such a big party. Since they were under staffed. The brunch menu was limited. The chicken and waffles which was a popular order in our party was not good at all. Most sent it back. The French toast and lobster omelet was good. I probably would not come here again willingly. Your better off just having drinks in the hotel. I wanted to try this place, I did that and I'm done

    My friend had her birthday dinner here yesterday. Pros: The staff and waiters are polite. There are cute areas to take pictures with lots of floral decor. They will validate your parking which is going to save you money. The drinks are great! I had a sangria handmade by the bartender. The waiter brought complimentary baked corn bread and it was tasty. Cons: my friends and I got the scallop and shrimp risotto. We all noticed the risotto was under cooked and crunchy. Our other friend got lobster tacos and she said it was ok. They were so tiny! Highly disappointed with the main dish and will not be returning.

    I visited this place for a family member's birthday brunch and I would not recommend this place one bit. I'm sure this place gets its hype from instagram and tik tok because of its decor and opportunities to get cute photos, but if you look behind the camera you'll learn this place is in the parking lot of the Hilton. The food and all the drinks get ran from inside the hotel and you have to go inside the hotel to use the restroom. This place is aesthetically pleasing and is decorated cute, but again it's just in the parking lot. The food is super overpriced and not worth it at all. There are tons of restaurants nearby that you could spend your money on and those places would taste way better. Additionally, the website and menus specifically state that "This is a no tipping establishment." You are automatically charged a 15% facility fee on all checks. I personally do not understand what the no tipping establishment means because our server questioned us and was angered when we didn't leave a tip and brought up the policy that is written on their menus. But we assumed a portion of that 15% fee goes to the server? Apparently it does not. Our server was really upset about not getting a tip, but again why does the website and the menus say this is no tipping facility??? I truly do not understand this. I have no problem tipping, but just assumed the gratuity was already included? Some people in my party got the bottomless mimosas and we kept having to ask the server for a refill on champagne. At most brunch places I feel like they always do such a good job of making sure the mimosas are constantly flowing but here that is so not the case! It's a small thing, but for brunch and when you're paying $28 for bottomless mimosas I expect the glasses to stay full. The servers are also not that friendly and nice. So that was pretty annoying because when you're paying a decent amount of money to eat at a place you shouldn't be treated like an inconvenience. The margarita flight I got was not bad and the truffle fries were tasty but pretty oily. I definitely won't be back and I recommend people spend their hard earned money at better brunch places because there are a ton of great brunch places in this area. If I could leave zero stars I would. This is not a fancy place with a view. It's just a pop up in a parking lot.

    "Ladies Dinner"

    Went out for "Ladies Dinner" as advertised on instagram which is a prix fixe dinner for 2 but unfortunately it appeared to not be an option anymore? Still had a great time and enjoyed our food as we have been there on multiple occasions before but it just felt like false advertisement and made me a little silly for even bringing it up but I double checked the instagram and it's from 4 days ago and indicates it goes on every night?

    If you're into social media and posting pictures/ videos, I highly recommend visiting and dinning at this restaurant. We went for brunch and ordered chicken waffle, churro French Toast and Coope Deville. All three tasted really good. No complained about the taste. I thought cayenne Chicken waffle would be spicy, but to my surprise it wasn't spicy at all. It had the perfect seasonings and flavors. This is no tip facility. They automatically charge 15% service fee. On the check there is option to add tip too. This is an outdoor dining area. There are plenty of tables. I would highly recommend making reservations since it gets really busy. Parking is either self parking or validate. For self park they validate.

    5 Stars no doubt. The couple of times we were here the food, the ambiance and the service never fail. Our favorites are the avocado toast, the margarita flat bread, chicken, salmon bagel. They have a wine selection and dessert menu to die for. There is valet parking, that you would need especially on weekends

    Fanny S.

    We tried the avocado toast, salmon salad, lobster tacos, truffle fries, and their signature cocktail. First off, the place has such a great vibe, an open air setting filled with flowers, giving off total summer feels. The lighting is soft and natural, making it both cozy and Instagram worthy. The service was also really good, everyone was friendly and everything came out fast. As for the food, I honestly didn't expect much at first, but it really surprised me. The lobster tacos were loaded with real lobster meat and had a great crunch. The truffle fries were big, crispy, and full of flavor. The avocado toast was fresh and tasty, and the cocktail looked amazing and tasted just as good. Even though it's a pretty popular spot and can get busy, it's totally worth visiting. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to others. One more reminder. Don't forget to get your parking ticket validated, or parking will cost a fortune! With validation, it's only $8.

    We came here to celebrate our New Yorker niece's birthday, who went to Universal during the day so we ended up looking for a decent restaurant near the area. We were a party of 18, and overall was OK for our group size. The place had Instagrammable ambience, however, the food was just mediocre. Our waiter was just OK. He made a mistake in one of our orders and instead of apologizing, he made it sound like it was our fault. He ended up correcting it in the end. There was a valet parking available from the hotel nearby , but I didn't realize that there was also a self parking which would have been cheaper available.

    I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately it was disappointing. The chicken and waffles needed flavor. The service was absolutely terrible! The waitress appeared unhappy and her attentiveness showed. Remember to ask for validation because they won't offer it. Read other reviews, they speak for themselves. I did enjoy the drinks! I wouldn't come back unless they made BIG changes to staffing and training.

    Went to Five On The Hill last night for a date and it was such a great experience. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and honestly looked just as good as it tasted. Service was on point too our server checked in just enough without hovering, which made the night even better. The whole vibe of the place was perfect for a date night comfortable but still classy. Everything from the way the dishes were plated to how smoothly the evening flowed really stood out. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Mimosa Flight
    Krysten A.

    The ambience and the service were amazing and that's why I am giving three stars. As for the food... none of it was seasoned! NONE OF IT! Salt n Pepper nor hot sauce could save anything. I had the surf n turf omelet and my friends and the chicken and waffles. We all had food on our plate and none of us took to go boxes. The mimosa flight was beautiful and one of my friends got a virgin pina colada that she said was delicious. This is a spot for cute IG pics and vibes, only. Don't go there thinking you're going to be eating good. Cafe Sierra in the Hilton has far better seasoned food, which is surprised seeing its buffet style.

    It was an amazing view!!! A little windy but gorgeous and they were very accommodating when I got too cold to take the breeze and I took enough pictures for the 'gram the staff came twice to adjust and accommodate me with the shades to block the wind thank you drinks were definitely worth the drive alone. Annnnnnd that is not taking away from the food. My husband and I were both quiet through dinner. Chewing and nodding and non verbal "this is fire" looks while chewing. Loved it.

    Great Food, But Not What I Expected! Recently came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food was great and the overall experience enjoyable, but service was a bit slow. Based on what I had seen on social media, I expected the restaurant to be inside the hotel with a scenic view of LA. Instead, it's located just next to the hotel, near the valet area--still nice, but not quite what I had pictured. That said, we had a good time, and the ambiance was still lovely in its own way. Just don't go in expecting skyline views, and you'll enjoy it for what it is!
