We decided to stop in for the Ecuadorian food festival and honestly left disappointed. We drove a long distance expecting a solid representation of Ecuadorian culture and food, but that wasn't the case. Parking alone was $25. The event was advertised as free, yet they were charging a $20 cover at the door. We showed the flyer to the lady at the front and she was nice about it--she told the guy at the door to just give us wristbands and let us in. I'm not sure how many people ended up paying for something that was supposed to be free, but it doesn't sit right. Once inside we took the elevator up to the 8th floor, which was actually pretty cool. There were various restaurants and lounges to sit and hang out. The problem was that only one restaurant was open, and there were maybe 8-10 tables total--all of them full. Looking at other reviews, this seems to be a common theme: staff often don't know what's going on and things aren't always as advertised. There was a set Ecuadorian menu with three appetizers, three or four chicken dishes, and three seafood options. That was it. As for the "vendors," there was only one table selling Ecuadorian goods and it was very limited--a bowl of bracelets, a few license plates that said "Ecuadorian," a couple ponchos, and maybe five or six Ecuador World Cup soccer shirts. Super underwhelming. There was also supposed to be live entertainment, but that never happened either. Overall it just felt like a letdown after the drive and the expectations the flyer set.

I love this place! So many different options to choose from. The customer service is excellent! I highly recommend it and I have been back a few times and will continue to go back until I've tried all 8!

Cute rooftop in DTLA! I've attended a few pool parties here and it's always a good vibe and packed with a nice crowd of people. I think I've only been during a day party so would love to see how the space lights up in the evening as well.

High above the city, this rooftop destination is more than just a bar, it's an entire experience. It stands just across the street from Crypto aka Staples Center and the convention center. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with stunning skyline views that stretch across Downtown Los Angeles, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. What makes it stand out is the variety, multiple rooms and themed spaces keep the energy fresh as you explore. Whether you're in the mood for live entertainment, dancing, or a more laid-back lounge vibe, there's something happening around every corner. The highlight has to be the open-air carousel-style bar, a unique centerpiece that adds a fun, upscale twist while you sip cocktails under the city lights. Food options are just as impressive, with a mix of flavors and delicious bites that go way beyond typical bar fare, perfect for pairing with drinks as you bounce between rooms. They even have a wrestling ring with great looking women Overall: A must-visit rooftop in DTLA if you want incredible views, diverse entertainment, and a vibrant, multi-room atmosphere all in one place.

I'm not sure how to describe a place like this. Batman meets Las Vegas, meets Greek rush week during an indoor Coachella. It's all the things, too many things, and not enough of some things. Wait... what was that Best Movie award for 2 years ago? "Anything, Everywhere, All at Once". There. That's Level 8. That means you'll either love it, hate it, respect it, or simply don't get it. From what I understand, Level 8 is essentially eight different themed bars and restaurants stacked together like a Vegas casino that couldn't decide on one concept. It's ambitious, chaotic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. But if you're the type who loves sensory overload, party energy, and a little bit of everything all at once, this place is basically your Disneyland. We ate at Maison Kasai, their teppanyaki restaurant, and I have to admit, it's one of the better teppanyaki experiences I've had, and I've traveled quite a bit for this style of dining. Teppanyaki itself is simple, so the magic is always in the details: service, timing, and the unexpected touches. For example, we were treated to a magic show before dinner (probably buying the kitchen some prep time). It was clever, fun, and actually set the tone nicely. The rest of the evening followed suit: fire flair, great service, and well-executed food. The pumpkin miso soup appetizer in particular felt like something with a Michelin-level touch. Really impressive. After dinner, things go... full Level 8. There was a wrestling match, an outdoor pool area, a speakeasy that was anything but quiet, and so many people moving around it felt like intermission at a Billie Eilish concert. If you enjoy high-energy chaos and a party atmosphere, this place is absolutely for you. I'll probably come back at least once more--if nothing else, just to show my kids the spectacle. After that, I'll happily step aside and let the next wave of party people take over.

Very nice venue. Beautiful pools, cabanas, views. Needs help keeping food orders rolling. I was invited to a social event at this location with "LA Girl Code." It was advertised that in exchange for sharing feedback on the venue, we'd get to take photos on the roof and also get food. After waiting several hours, the "food" came in the form of ONE guacamole dip dish and a handful of tacos for over 30 women. It was laughable. It put a bad taste in my mouth for sure, however there may have been a disconnect with the venue and the group promoter. Not sure which one, but most of the girls left hungry and cranky. You just can't have that many people out getting drinks and dancing and then not deliver on the food. Because we had planned to eat, nobody ate beforehand. It may have been enhanced by the fact that there was another event going on, but either way, they should've been able to handle the orders at that capacity, otherwise don't allow that many people into a space. Again, it's a gorgeous venue. Hopefully you'll have a different experience under different circumstances.

David and Loren are the best at their job and so accommodating. Everything went so smooth recommend coming here!

This is such a cute bar on the eighth level! I went there for an event called LPN and the place was decorated so cute! They had a lot of cute photo ops and s'mores for free! They have a DJ where they play all kinds of music. I ordered the mini burger sliders, which were delicious! They had the most perfect flavor and were cooked too perfect perfection! Even though the place was packed, the bartenders were fast and very friendly!

This is a nice small casual spot to watch a game and drink some beer. We came in just for a beer and it seemed ok. It's actually right next to the market Whole Foods.

We attended the Chinese New Year event on Feb 26 that was advertised as "all you can eat and all you can drink." Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. Our group had 10 people and spent about $1,600, expecting a festive event with good food and drinks. Instead, the entire night was basically spent standing in lines and waiting for food that barely came out. The restaurant clearly oversold the event without having the capacity to serve the crowd. Examples from the night: * The lobster station was cooking only about 8 lobsters at a time, while 20+ people were waiting. * The sushi station had around 50 people in line, with a single sushi chef making less than one roll per minute. * Food trays were constantly empty and took a long time to refill. After hours of waiting, each person in our group ended up with only about two drinks, three very small sushi rolls, and a small scoop of fried rice. That was essentially the entire "all you can eat" experience. For $160 per person, this felt extremely misleading. When a restaurant promotes an unlimited food and drink event, customers reasonably expect that the restaurant has the staffing, food preparation, and logistics to actually deliver it. Instead, it felt like the event was massively oversold with insufficient food and staff, leaving many guests waiting in long lines most of the night. Paying $160 and leaving still hungry and barely having had anything to drink is unacceptable. This event was poorly planned and very disappointing. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before attending similar events here.

My girlfriends and I visited on November 30, 2025 for the Wonderland Immersive Igloo Experience. The bartenders were great and the atmosphere was nice; however, the food fell short. I ordered the tacos, and the meat lacked flavor even with the salsa. My girlfriends ordered the sliders, and their food also lacked flavor.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink.

This past visit I came with a large group and was still seated immediately. I didn't realize just how large it is inside, as I usually am towards the front or on the small front patio. ANYWAY The Korean wings were very good but admittedly could have been a bit spicier. The loaded fries had a bit too much melty cheese on top that oversaturated the other ingredients. The chicken quesadilla was I enjoyed but was a little basic. Last time I was here before this I had a chicken tikka quesadilla which I think was a more inventive dish that is certainly more memorable than this one. Small critiques but I do very much enjoy District and will one day come not just for happy hour. The cocktail of the day is usually good!

I ended up paying it(because they leave you no choice), but my biggest issue isn't the amount itself. It's that there was no clear notice beforehand. If a restaurant automatically adds gratuity or service charge, especially for a single diner, that should be clearly disclosed before you order or at least be prominently stated in the beginning. A 20% tip should reflect exceptional service. That wasn't the experience I had. The lack of transparency left a bad impression and felt dishonest. With so many great restaurants in Los Angeles that offer better food, better service, and straightforward billing, I wouldn't recommend this place.

My only criticism as of recently has been the wine staff, the last few times I have mentioned that I personally don't like the taste of natural wine and have asked for recommendations to suit my taste the sommelier actually said " so you like to drink chemicals then " , I didn't let it ruin my evening and the food was still excellent but their really isn't a place for that attitude. I am an avid wine collector and as the customer it's the wine staffs job to make the customer happy by finding a bottle they will like, not push their misinformed opinions on the customers. Management would be served well with some re-education in the art of customer service to the wine team.
