We've waited more than an hour after ordering the food. No explanation given. We booked the table to celebrate birthday with a nice view. View was essentially the only nice thing. Steak frites were too harx to chew. Burger was okay. Desserts were okay too (but we had to wait those another 15 minutes). Prices are a bit high for the food quality. And.. they add gratuity of 20% to menu prices as a "staff charge". Overall, experience was disappointing. read more

Wow. For years, this is the first time I wish I could get zero stars. Reservation: we would have loved to come at 6:30pm. Sold out. So we came at 5:30 - and saw that many many tables open throughout our entire three hour stay. Arriving valet: I felt like a school kid being lectured. Maybe they - the hotel - has an audience that needs to be lectured, I don't. Got our table. At least that worked. Waited 30 mins to get a menu. The - very charming - waitress had put them on the empty table next to us instead. She was friendly. Sadly, she only came to asked if we need something in the second we just had received drinks or food. Whenever we would have possibly wanted to order more: nothing. The food. We were six. We started with Mezze and other shareables. They came. We got silverware for six. Three plates. Any attempt to get more: unsuccessful. Mezzo OK, everything else rather meh. The beef on my burger was killed three times - dry as hell, the fries cold. The view: great. Ambiance other than that: mediocre. The check: $350. Could have been $500, if we were offered more. We were not. 20% tip mandatory. It somewhat explains the inattentive service that includes a tip for a friendly but inattentive service. Leaving: After 20 min wait for our car, the valet attendant gave us the key, asked us to find our car (which was close) and had us serve-serve. Would I go again? Absolutely not. I fear I am not the only one who sees it that way - as half the tables were open - on a Saturday night from 5.30-8:30pm. A shame, as we brought friends and were coming to have a good time. read more

Next day update: the manager replied to my review with the same reply he has been giving anyone who posts negative reviews! So predictable! Why not actually work on improving things?!?! I'm not coming back; NO ONE's stupid enough to come back to give u guys a second chance. Original review: Amazing views AND THATS WHERE IT ENDS! Go to Elevate or any other rooftop lounge in the area! Service: U get seated & then they forget you exist! The greeter finally asked if we're being served n took our order herself! After a while my partner's tea arrives - a cup of hot water & a teabag - no sweetener or spoon. When we finally get the attention of a rare staff, she says we don't have sweetener but I'll check! Sure enough she had a bunch! It's like they're avoiding service.. but they're in the service industry! Staff: Few n far between! Untidy (stained shirt partly tucked in) & unmotivated! You'd think a swanky location like that could provide neat uniforms to their wait staff! Food: I ordered the ham n cheese sandwich which I thought I'd get fast bcz its easy to make, given how slow they were, but I asked for chicken instead of ham since I don't eat pork.. mind you, they have a chicken club sandwich on the menu so it shd be easy, but NO!!! The waitress said "we'll charge extra for chicken". GET OUTTA HERE!!! Ure telling me chicken is more expensive than ham?? My partner got fries bcz he was afraid the wait for anything else would be long! We saw a bunch of people enter, sit around & leave, bcz they're being ignored. We almost did too, but I just paid $28 for parking in a lot (it's $35 at the hotel) so we waited, ate, paid & ended up going elsewhere for a proper dinner after this ridiculous debacle! read more

I completely forgot to write this review but honestly SUCH A GORGEOUS EXPERIENCE! My boyfriend took me for Valentine's day and Aurora our server was AMAZING!

This place saved our evening after a desperate dash at Level 8. Even though we had a reservation over there, we had no idea there was a $75 per person minimum and any other bar was charging an outrageous fee and was so loud + standing room. We found ourselves at La Lo La Rooftop which was lively but not crowded, and with a stunning view. We ordered drinks from the menu and lemon drops from the bar, in addition to a Basque cheesecake. The service we received was phenomenal. We were checked on multiple times, no one made us feel rushed or pushed for only getting drinks and a dessert, and best of all, we could sit and talk to each other. We determined that this is a super underrated spot for a gorgeous LA view! I would never go back to the Level 8 bars but I would DEFINITELY come back to La Lo La. Such a lovely experience! read more

We visited La Lola Rooftop expecting a great experience. The view is beautiful -- without question, the best part of the venue. Unfortunately, the service did not match the setting. My girlfriend and I ordered two Old Fashioneds made with Ilegal Mezcal. The bottle being used was nearly empty, and as professionals in the hospitality industry, we are very familiar with proper pour standards. It was clear there wasn't enough product left for two consistent drinks. The bartender, Bryan, prepared both cocktails without using a jigger. When I politely asked why one drink appeared noticeably lighter than the other and why he wasn't measuring the pour, he smirked, gave a slight laugh, and responded that he "knows the exact measurement of his glasses." The tone and gesture felt dismissive and mocking rather than professional. Instead of addressing a reasonable concern with transparency, the response came across as defensive and condescending. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added, bringing the total to $71.12 for two inconsistent Old Fashioneds. Precision, consistency, and respect are basic standards in this industry. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that. We won't be returning. read more

Came on a friday night for date night. Pur waiter introduced himself, got us water and we didnt see him again for a while. A waitress saw us, asked if we've been helped and took our drink order instead. We both ordered the sweet tea swizzle. It was tasty. Our original waiter brought the ordered drinks to us and when we ordered, he recommended the housemade chips. They were either super salty or super plain. The chive & citrus crème fraiche needed to be stirred up because it honestly didnt taste like anything. The gambas was really tasty; FYI: not a large plate. The steak frites were good. read more

Excellent view but terrible service!! We ordered 2 mezcal Old Fashion's & the bartender poured them from a nearly empty bottle (it didn't even give us 4 ounces) When he made the drinks, we told him they were too short & he should use a jigger, but he ignored us. The worst part is that the bill includes a 20% tip, which he really didn't deserve. 1st time here ): read more

False Advertising, Bland Food, and Not Worth the Price -- Only the View Is Nice My family and I had a really disappointing experience at La Lo La Rooftop. OpenTable lists this restaurant as Tapas/Small Plates, which is exactly why we chose it--especially with our 19-month-old who loves tapas. To our surprise, there were no tapas on the menu at all. When we asked for the tapas menu, the server told us they "no longer see a need to have two menus" and now just serve the general hotel menu instead. None of this was communicated upfront, and it felt like misleading advertising. We had already paid $27.50 for parking and had a hungry toddler, so leaving wasn't an option. Unfortunately, the food we ordered was extremely bland and flavorless--we even sent one plate back. The sangria tasted watered down, and overall nothing matched the pricing or the expectations set online. Service was also a major issue. Our server barely checked on us at all, and at one point she went on break without telling us. We only found out when we asked for the check and another server mentioned, "Oh, she's on break--she should have told you." Between the auto-gratuity and the lack of communication, the service felt uninterested and unprofessional. On top of that, they automatically add a 20% gratuity without informing you, which explains the nonexistent service--because the tip is guaranteed regardless. For 4 sangrias, 1 AC Club Chicken Sandwich, and 1 Rigatoni Pomodoro, our bill came to $169.45, and my spouse didn't even have a meal. Absolutely not worth it. The only positive thing here is the rooftop view--but Los Angeles has plenty of beautiful views without paying nearly $170 for bland food and poor service. Save your time, money, and appetite. This place is not what it claims to be. read more

Regarding the atmosphere, the rooftop was beautiful and the ambiance was giving a sexy vibe. Now the food and service was not great at all. The food came out cold, hard and salty. My daughter ordered a burger and I had the chicken sandwich. We barely found our waitress as she was off dancing. For 68.00 bill and a forced 20% gratuity, I feel as though, management owe us a redo. read more

It was a good experience. The views, ambiance, and drinks weee good! I'll return for those three. The service was a bit slow which prompted us to go to another place to continue the night. We were able to get 3 drinks and fries before waiting for a while for the server to come back around to order more... finally we ended up asking the buss boy from a neighboring table to get us the bill which prompted our server to come over and ask us if we needed anything else. read more

La Lo La was super cute. It is on the rooftop of the AC Downtown Hotel. I know when the weather gets warmer, this'll continue to be a hot spot. It was AMAZING to watch the sun set while overlooking the beautiful lights of Downtown. There's $20 parking. There's valet. There's a $20 parking lot across the street. And LA Live is super close by also. I found street parking after 7pm so that was great and a win for me. We ordered the Steak Skewers which came in 4 and so good. The Brussel sprouts were also pretty good. The patatas brava were really good with a nice chipotle mayonnaise on them. I would definitely try out a brunch here with a nice summer weather. I did think it was a bit absurd to charge $8 for a soda. My friend also got the Whiskey Punch that she enjoyed. And the carrot cake was IMMACULATE with ice cream. It was perfect. They have a full bar. The service was ehh. The server didn't really come back to us nor checked up on us. We had to call her back over to order more drinks as well as request our check. It wasn't busy night. But when gratuity is included, I guess she didn't care because the money was already made. read more

Came here on my lunch break while working the convention center. It was so cute! The views were really some of the best! You could see the whole downtown aerial view.

My friend & I booked a reservation for 9:15 pm Friday night. We called because we were running 10-15 late and they said they were doing last call at 9:45. I asked well why did they allow us to make late reservations if they were closing early? We got there and the turnout was kinda slow. There were maybe about 15-20 people there. We ran to the bar and ordered 2 drinks each and chugged them down. I had the west coast punch. They were fruity yet strong. The bartender told us they were closing at 10:15 because it was "cold", although the website and Yelp said they closed at midnight. Super misleading. I was very disappointed about having to call it an early night because of the weather, keep in mind, it was not cold out. The views and the vibes are on point, but they need to get their hours in check. Not to mention we waited a while to get our drinks. The bartender did not acknowledge us, and there weren't many people there that night. I had high hopes. read more

My wife made a reservation for her birthday at the rooftop restaurant. With plenty of time to get a great table for six people. Then she gets an email from the restaurant a little over a week from her reservation date, stating that her reservation has been canceled To accommodate one group of people who they think is more important than a handful of smaller groups who made reservations in a timely manner. I would like to know how many other people's reservations have been canceled because someone decided to rent out the whole bar and decided to kick out all the little people and the small groups to be able to accommodate some other group. Talk about horrible service, and before you even get in the door you're considered to be not worth their time because you don't have enough people to spend more money for the whole bar. The restaurant has a rating of 3.5 or six stars and I don't know how they got that with that kind of service. Luckily, we found another place that was willing to accommodate our group of six people for a birthday party. Guaranteed no matter how good the view is, if the service is shit it's not worth it especially if the service is that way before you even get in the door. I would love to hear if anybody else had the same problem for the reservations on August 27. So please respond and let us know. We would like to know exactly how many people were turned down and their reservations canceled. read more

First of all, I know the climate we are living in and the fact that my date and I were treated like we were peasants trying to get in to this big major club was not it. My date and I sat at the bar area meanwhile we get seated. She ordered a margarita and I had water because I wanted to see the menu when we were going to get seated. 15 min. Later we are escorted to our seats and we are seated in the corner table secluded from the environment. I found that weird but I just sat down and we didn't receive a menu. We didn't get asked if we wanted to drink, nothing. We sat and sat and we noticed after 20 min that they weren't going to give us menus. So we just sat there and we tried to wave people out and nothing even when a couple next to us received their menus and drinks nothing. I told my date let's go after 49 min sitting there. The views were nice but service was not it. I really wanted to review the food but they did not give me the opportunity to do so. Maybe next time when people like us come to your establishment treat everyone like equals. Please and thank you. My money is as useful as a CEO nearby. read more

If I can only rate based on the ambiance alone, it would be an easy 5 stars! The space is a whole vibe. Unfortunately the service we received was lacking...maybe they were short staffed but my group was there for a good 2 hours. The group was served with their drink orders and then a couple of us caught up and came in late, but we never saw the waitress again after that. My friend and I decided to just walk up to the bar to order our drinks and we were told that we'd have to order with our waitress...thankfully the bartender let us open a separate tab after we told him that we haven't seen the waitress in 30 mins. The drinks were okay. Because we never saw the waitress again, we left after we all nursed our cocktails. We didn't order any food due to the poor or non-existent service. read more

First of all. Hottest server I've ever had at a restaurant. Beautiful and super nice, brought us everything very quickly. He forgot one thing but voided it after.

The view from La Lo La Rooftop was absolutely gorgeous from sunset to nightfall. Totally loved the vibes and the setup. Super comfortable for lounging to have quite a few number of drinks without feeling like you're being rushed to leave for the next party. Aurora + Joshua were friendly and attentive We only stayed for drinks. Their tapas menu was super small and we wanted to have dinner. Totally recommend coming for drinks and to enjoy the view! Parking: We pulled into the self parking lot next to the Valet. It's $20 til 2AM or $55ish for overnight. I *think* valet is $25 with validation, but we liked getting in and out and not waiting lol. read more

Go at night, sit on the west side so you have a good view of downtown and the Hollywood Hills, and pretend not to be shocked at the portion sizes when they bring the tapas to your table.

We came here for Mother's Day brunch and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The rooftop setting is stunning--great views of LA and a chill, upscale vibe. I had the avocado toast with eggs, and my wife had the chilaquiles--both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. We also enjoyed a couple of mimosas, which hit the spot perfectly. One of the unexpected highlights was the playlist--mostly vibey house music that matched the rooftop atmosphere perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. This place made our celebration feel special, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend for brunch with a view! read more

It's about the view ... drinks had a lovely presentation but not the best. Food was not bad but service was inconsistent. Our waiter took our order and forgot to bring my friends drink, he also went missing for awhile. A different waiter showed up apologized and took down our food order along with my friends drink. The manager did check on us every now and again. Go for the views and a cocktail; they do have a fully stocked bar. Perfect for chill vibes. Love the couches for lounging. The sunset is beautiful as you can see all the buildings near the bar area. There's tables too, but we did make reservations. I loved the cute flamingo at the stem of my glass. FYI, You need to enter through tac hotel side; the building is half Moxy and the other AC hotel. There is a public lot right across from the valet side where you can pay at the kiosk. read more

I LOVE this restaurant!! The views are unbeatable, the ambience is upbeat and pleasant as it has a modern yet comfortable vibe and the music was very fitting for the environment (upbeat and classic). I could not get over the views we enjoyed during dinner and the food did not disappoint! I came here for cocktails and tapas as this is what they specialize in- I ordered the South Park Farmer's Market Margarita which was different but I would describe it was herbal and refreshing, I liked it! I also ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio, and for appetizers the Patatas Bravas, Gambas Al Ajillo, and Brussel Sprouts which are all MUST haves I genuinely still crave them lol. Amazing place that I recommend to people visiting L.A. as you will walk away with a memorable experience as it's one of the best rooftops in L.A. It's part of the AC Hotel which is also home to some of the trendiest bars in DTLA. read more

La Lo La Rooftop - Unbeatable view! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love me a nice rooftop and La Lo La just opened at the new AC Hotel in LA! We had reservations, but it wasn't busy when we arrived around 6:30P (probably because not many know about this gem yet). The view is gorgeous! There were no other big structures around the rooftop area so we had the perfect view of LA and the sunset! The drinks were on the pricier side but bomb. I recommend the Whiskey Passion with tequila. The potato chips were a good snack, but the crispy potatoes were even better. Once the sunsets, the lights turn on and it becomes a vibe. It did get busier around later evening and was a bit chilly, so bring a cover up. read more

Originally we were to have dinner outdoors, but due to the weather we ate indoors. The restaurant is beautiful with it's LA vibe decor and beautiful views of LA. The bartender was great and friendly (I recommend the farmers market margarita). Our waiter during dinner was hard to understand and we couldn't find him when we needed our check. Some of the food was delicious, but the indoor food menu differs from the outdoor menu. Some of the items we had were the Gambas (delicious!), salmon plate (very good!), club sandwiches (chicken was dry) and ham and cheese panini (okay). The waiter brought me a birthday treat which was a delicious small cake, scoop of icecream and polka dot sprinkles. If you are staying at The Moxy or AC hotel this bar/ restaurant a try. read more

I am extremely upset! I made reservations weeks ago on Open to celebrate my son's 39th birthday and received a message minutes before my reservation that they are not open on Thursdays. I even received a message yesterday asking me to confirm my reservation. We had to pay $30 (per car for parking) only to learn that they were closed!!! I received what appeared to be a half-hearted message from the owner. It seems he doesn't understand that my plans to celebrate my son were basically ruined.

Came tonight with a reservation in place, was told by the manager this night (8/15/25) that they didn't have a table for the amount of people that the reservation was for and that we could wait or just "chill". Honestly, low key profiling. They didn't want to provide us with a menu at all as we waited as they talked amongst themselves AND to top it off they gave a table to another party for the same amount of people. Felt really disappointed, and first time I felt discriminated. Sad for my first time being there and wanting to enjoy the environment and the nice view. Do better! If you want to be inclusive. read more

I was initially disappointed because the outdoor patio that I had reserved was canceled due to weather conditions, so I was seated inside. But then the food arrived: Hands down the most amazing waffles I've ever had!! The chicken was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The waffles were on another level. They were the right texture of crispy edges and a divinely soft interior, with granulated sugar pieces interspersed inside to give it that crunch. read more
