    Steak Tartare
    Jon N.

    Loved this place! Absolutely a cool vibe and excellent service! Drinks were creative and delicious. The food was delicious. We shared a Burrata and a Salmon Crudo, both perfect. The Lemon Pasta with Shrimp was a little salty but great. Steak Tartare was excellent, and Ricotta Agnolotti was the freaking BOMB! A great option if you're here in Hollywood!

    We had a very nice brunch here, it is nice to sit outside and a great view over LA. Service was good and the French Toast was huge Would go back

    I was invited to Lemon Grove for my cousin's birthday dinner, and my first impression was how cute the space is. The rooftop setting has a great atmosphere and makes for a fun place to celebrate a special occasion. We used valet parking, but there is also street parking and paid public parking nearby. Since we were a large group, we got to try a good portion of the menu, and honestly, everything we ordered was good. The prices were fair as well, especially considering the location and rooftop experience. The reason I'm taking off a star is the service toward the end of the evening. About 30 minutes before closing, our server kept returning to the table, and we started to feel rushed. He also made a few sarcastic comments that seemed intended as jokes, but they didn't come across that way to our group. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and value were all great. I would definitely consider coming back, but I hope the end-of-service experience is handled a little differently next time.

    Amazing ambience and the food is just as great! It is located on a rooftop of a hotel so it can be a little bit pricey but it's also located in Hollywood but the food is delicious and they have great cocktails and mocktails! Been here twice but the service the second time wasn't as great as the first time. It seemed as if the server didn't really checked in on us once our food arrived. With that said, food was amazing! I definitely recommend the lemon pasta (my favorite) and the bread and butter for appetizer. I will definitely come back to this place for the views and it is a great place to hang out with friends and loved ones to celebrate a special occasion!

    It's a cute rooftop with decor of lemon trees which you can pick a lemon to take home! The staff was great and very engaging. Our food and drinks came out very quick. As a vegetarian, they had multiple options for food. They will also customize the meal to your dietary needs which I loved. The only thing I was not a fan of was their desert. We had a chocolate cupcake and it was dry.

    Now one of my favorite spots to grab a drink or bite before a show! Cute rooftop spot with a little garden as well. Lots of tables and two bar areas as well. The staff were friendly and helpful in giving great suggestions especially when they didn't have a drink we originally wanted. Good variety of lemonade options and love that you can have it as a sparkling version. Got the hummus for a little snack and it was the perfect little bites.

    Phenomenal food. Was next door for an event. Well done chef! Had the Charred Rainbow Carrots, Grilled Sourdough Bread and Aster Meatballs for an appetizer. Roasted Chicken for main.

    Randomly came across Lemon Grove when in Hollywood and decided to grab some brunch. It's conveniently located inside the Aster Hotel's rooftop and there were luckily still tables available. We did not have reservations and were still seated promptly. Service was great - Our server Travis was really nice and checked in on us often. Food was delicious! The dishes looked simple but actually packed a lot of flavor. The Pearamount+ cocktail was so tasty. It had no alcoholic taste and was so smooth which made it dangerous. I should've gotten another one. I would totally come back and try other dishes next time.

    Mimosa Kit
    JJ H.

    Those rooftop is beautiful. Definitely ask to sit outside, better view and vibe. We started with the mimosa kit which was fun and delivery made it even better. Ordered the chilaquiles, dinosaur kale, crispy duck confit, with a side of bacon. Chilaquiles were perfect not too wet. The duck wasn't gamey flavors very balanced. Dinosaur Kale was so good except for the pomegranate seeds getting stuck in my teeth. If you like your bacon extra crispy then you'll love it.

    Salmon was so good!
    De57 H.

    PROS: LOVEEEE THE FOOD! Yummy and fast. Awesome music to socialize to and dance. They allowed me to bring in cake to cut with NO CHARGE! CONS: You get small portions and not enough to fill you up. Location is easy to miss since it is upstairs. *DO NOT WEAR THIN HEELS! They will get stuck upstairs because the floors are wooden with holes. Mine got stuck and I struggled getting out. I got the salmon and a mocktail.

    Great rooftop brunch spot in Hollywood with a relaxed vibe and beautiful views of the Capitol Records Building. The setting feels upscale but still comfortable, perfect for a weekend outing. We enjoyed fresh oysters, a bright kale salad, rich eggs Benedict, and fluffy strawberry pancakes. Everything tasted well prepared and nicely presented. I'd definitely come back

    I made a reservation for Lemon Grove on a Saturday at 1:15 PM and was seated around 1:30. Despite being short-staffed, the host was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond, helping clear tables, bringing us water, and making sure guests were taken care of while the restaurant was clearly stretched thin. After being seated, we waited quite a while for our server. I eventually noticed what I believe was a manager stop by our table to check on us and ask if we had any questions. Since we had been ready to order for some time, I asked if we could simply place our order with her. She was delightful, helpful, and very accommodating. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, breakfast potatoes, dinosaur kale salad, chicken sandwich, and burger. Everything was flavorful and delicious, but the burger was definitely my favorite. Combined with the beautiful weather and atmosphere, it made for a very enjoyable brunch. The biggest downside was the service speed. Our waiter was incredibly kind, but because the restaurant appeared to be understaffed, he was rarely able to stop by. There were long waits between ordering, receiving food, and getting assistance throughout the meal. It never felt like poor service from the staff themselves--it felt more like a staffing issue. towards the end, I had to remind the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday (it was in my notes, and two people in person were also told, but the waiter maybe forgot). When the tab came, I had to remind the waiter that I had already provided payment at the time of arrival. The delays continued when we were leaving. We needed parking validation and waited about 5-10 minutes because the host had stepped away and there was no one else available to assist. By the time we left, parking had cost us $33 for roughly 2.5 hours. Overall, the food, atmosphere, host, and manager were excellent, and the staff who were there worked hard under difficult circumstances. Had staffing been planned a little better, I suspect this would have been an easy 5-star experience and our visit would have taken closer to an hour or hour and a half instead of stretching much longer. Hopefully management addresses the staffing challenges, because the restaurant itself is definitely worth visiting.

    Mushroom scramble

    Brunch this morning, service was very attentive and friendly. Gorgeous rooftop And the food was flavorful. I ordered the mushroom scramble and shared the lemon pancakes with my table. Definitely would go back

Everything was fine. Bartender is awesome. We sat at a booth for 2 hrs, paid our bill, then walked to Boardners at 1am. I quickly realized I had no wallet and must've left it at Power House - so walked my way back at around 1:20am. The Door Man, who had previously been a completely chill and nice dude, began screaming at a man behind me to "get the F--- out of here." I turn and see it was a very drunk patron who I recognized had been in the bar earlier. He then turned to me and screamed in my face to also "get the f--- out of here." I came to find out that patron had been kicked out and possibly had altercation with the Door Man Eric. So clearly the Door Man thought I was connected somehow to that random drunk patron. I tried to calmly explain that I did not know that patron and I was only returning because I left my ID/ credit card slim wallet somewhere in the bar. He proceeded to keep shouting that I was lying because they don't hold credit cards there, even though I was saying my entire wallet was somewhere physically in the bar. He then proceeded to say I was too drunk to come in and that I had "bad vibes" and that I was a weirdo and to get the f-- out of here. I continued to try to calmly reason with him, and he suddenly lunged at me as if to attack me - this man has a foot height on me - and I had to jump back off the curb into the street to evade him. I don't like to speculate but I suspect drug use was a factor here. At this point, I pull out my phone and continue to try reasoning - at a distance - but nothing is getting thru - so I go back to Boardners, tell my wife what happened and tell her I need her to try to go in and get my wallet. I followed far enough behind where they he wouldn't see me, but she was in there for a good five minutes, so I got worried. I called her, and then I hear this doorman shouting at my wife. I RUN to the open door where I see him towering over her in aggressive hostility, and I see my WALLET in her hand. We walk away. My wife tells me that they found the wallet where I knew I had left it. When it clicked that this lost wallet must have belonged to me, aka "the weirdo", he told her she was "86'd" there and then called her a "weirdo". When my wife told Eric that she "doesn't come here anyways", he became enraged and grabbed her with both of his arms as if to drag her out. He must've thought better of it and took his arms off when my wife stood called it out, and luckily the bartender was helpful enough to gave up the Door Man's name (hopefully that was an honest answer). I challenge the managers of this bar to review the video footage if there is any that took place outside of the doorway and inside the bar between 1am and 1:45. And to retain that footage.

    (Visit: 11/23/2024, Saturday evening around 10 )…read more About The Lobby -- "Thoughtfully reimagined by Nickey Kehoe (interior designer), the Lobby at The Hollywood Roosevelt is a stylish, inviting space to unwind. With dishes from Shirley Brasserie available all day, it's the perfect spot to enjoy everything from light bites to seasonal plates, surrounded by the warmth of the historic fireplace and the charm of this iconic setting." -- from The Roosevelt Hotel's website. Shirley Brasserie, the restaurant referred to above, is also located in The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (located next to The Lobby). The "iconic" they refer to is the fact that this hotel is historic -- it was built in 1926 during the Golden Era of Los Angeles architecture. It is named after Theodore Roosevelt. The first Academy Awards (Oscars) was held here in 1929. The hotel had its ups and downs since then but currently it looks beautiful and thriving. Take your out-of-state visiting friends/relatives to this place. Because this is a big part of "Hollywood". I recommend The Lobby to hang out after a long day's work or after a nice dinner nearby. This is where my sister and I went after our dinner at Musso and Frank. My sister ordered their Espresso Martini which was really good. I had a beer. Our server wasn't as warm as the ones during my visit in 2023. I think she was an introvert or a bit of a nervous person. But she did not seem potentially horrible. Restroom: I did not go to the restroom this time. I think there was a line. But I remember back in 2023 that you had to ask for a key or a code. Which is understandable for this area. Parking: I recommend the valet parking. If validated, the fee is really reasonable (I forgot how much they charged). We got ours validated because we ordered those drinks from The Lobby.

I informed the bartender we had been seated for 20 mins and no one had come, I was begrudgingly then served at the bar and paid - tab had the nerve to charge 18 percent service fee. What service?? Once I returned with my drinks to the table, we watched as every new party that arrived struggled to get served or get attention or menus of any kind. The existing parties that were there also did not receive service and the used tables were left unattended to and not cleared. The 2 bar lobby staff that were "working" the floor that night on duty that night need to be fired and replaced with folks that actually feel like working. Unacceptable service. Will not be returning to waste my money on this establishment.
