The view is absolutely beautiful! We also loved the music, DJ, and dancer. The whole atmosphere was so much fun and made my birthday celebration very special. Thank you to the owner and the entire team for taking such great care of us. We had an amazing night! I highly recommend Yamashisha and will definitely be back!

After closing out my check, the server quickly walked away before I had a chance to ask for an itemized receipt or question the charges. I strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully before paying and making sure you know exactly what has already been added.

I was scouting locations for my upcoming birthday celebration, so one Wednesday night I decided to stop by Bar Lis and see the space for myself. When I arrived, the rooftop happened to be completely empty, which actually worked out perfectly because I was able to really see and appreciate the venue without all the usual noise and chaos of a busy night. That's when I met Cole, who gave me what felt like my own private VIP tour of the space! He took the time to walk me around, explain the different table packages and options, and discuss what might work best for my birthday. Shelby joined us shortly afterward, and they were both extremely helpful with their feedback and recommendations. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. I ultimately decided to celebrate at another venue, but NOT because I didn't like Bar Lis. The other venue simply had no minimum and made it easier for my guests to come and go throughout the night without potentially having to wait to get inside. Bar Lis is extremely popular, and I know there can sometimes be quite a line outside -- which says something about how popular this rooftop is! Even though I ultimately went in a different direction for my birthday, Shelby and Cole still left such a positive impression that I wanted to recognize them. Thank you, Shelby and Cole, for the helpful consultation, great recommendations, and my own little VIP sneak peek that Wednesday night! You both made the experience memorable and demonstrated exactly what great hospitality should look like.

The service was impeccable--everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. We had to get the Michelada Oysters again because I had been craving them since our last visit. They were just as amazing as I remembered--fresh, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addicting. For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.

It's hard to find weekend happy hours in general so this was a fabulous surprise. I had reservations for a table but the host suggested the lounge since it did offer the happy hour specials. The drinks were great. The Luna Verde was very refreshing and not too strong but the Gypsy Fever was mazcal and that usually get me. I didn't even finish it. The oysters were fresh, the taco fritos were also really good. Crispy, potato shrimp, and delish. I love yucca fries and enjoyed the sauces that came with it. The green one wasn't as spicy as the reddish one. I ordered the mole bone marrow and I was surprised to see if came with toasted white bread instead of a hard slice of baguette. Which I am thankful for. Most places overcharge for bone marrow so I was happy to see this one the menu for a decent price. I found metered parking 1 block south and although it would be a little sketchy at night, the time I went and left didn't pose any issues for me.

This review will be unique as it will review No Vacancy when it hosted Uno Social Club…read more I am not a super fan of Uno, but it is something to do, something to get me out of the house, and when I have played Uno I have had a good time. One time I got so excited I banged the table and the glass dropped. It happens when one is seeking a reverse card to save their life! The place is suppose to be a play on a hotel I guess, but to me it also kind of looked like a haunted house. A bit. Do not imagine cobwebs, ghosts, and Jason props. It was more haunted in color and shape. Like a haunted house that was formerly excorcised of the devil and all his minions and no was in its fixer-upper phase. I guess one might have to look at the pictures to understand where my thoughts went. When I entered the energy was building. But it was such a slow simmer that I felt like Uno would not pop with revelvery. I went exploring after first entering garden, into their main foyare. I saw an upstairs. I was not allowed to go up. Apparently, there was a VIP section. Oh what is up there, I asked one of the staff members and he did not respond. I asked a patron that was walking down the stiars? What is up there? She seemed like she did not want to answer. I said an elephant? She said, heat, it's hot up there. So now I am left to wonder what was up those stairs at No Vancy and kind of irked that I am left to wonder what the flight of stairs held at its end. I was backed in the garden, thinking of what would happen next? I saw a brave soul ask if he could join two to play a game. I did the same and soon I was in a card game with two other people. What was great, is that they had the house rules posted, which were apparently the official Mattel rules. And like for example, I always played Uno in the following way: if you did not have a certain color you ate from the pile till you got a color or another card you can play like the Wild card? But here you only ate one, and if it could be played you could, and if you could not then it was the next player turn. I realized that I kind of wrote an instuction manual. I kind of wanted to delete it, but then I remember when a plate is salted it cannot be unsalted. I played a player who was into the game. I know that people are like why are you so into the game? But when two people are into an ordinary Uno game it stops being ordinary. It does not become a clash of fabled warriors inside an arena with lions and leopards. But it does become competititve in a fun way, where no one tells another to chill just because they want verification of a play that might turn the game on its head. What I thought the Uno Social people did very well was engage us all. They sat down a guy next to us. He became the fourth of our Uno game. Inspired by the staff member I asked someone else to sit and we became 5. We played a few games and had a good time. One of the staff members gave a winner of a round a Love Island expansion pack. Who knew? Saul and I then peeled of that group and went to get some drinks. The drinks at this place were smooth and strong. I got an Uno themed one. I could finish it in one gulp if I wanted too, but I did not, I was not in a race. By this time the place was, in my opinion, too packed by Uno players. It was the kind of packed that if you wanted to stand up you were afraid too because then you would lose your spot and then you would be amidst the crowd trying to find another spot that anchors you to place. The crowded bar made one feel like they were a sardine in a party. And no one likes to be a sardine anywhere. Having no elbow room is a type of torture, not water for sure, but still anxiety inducing. Another Yelper described this place as a human zoo, perhaps I should have left it there too? This place is close, like steps from Hollywood Blvd. So I can see how it can be part of a bigger night. Stop by and if one does not feel the vibe one can bounce to another spot. There are plenty around the areas. But if one gets to here when they host an Uno club that is definetelty the move!

It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed. In a city full of great bars, they have managed to create something much harder to find, a sense of community. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we walked in.

Had a reservation, but the restaurant was very busy, so we were seated outside on a patio, which was fine. Started off with an amuse consisting of a sparkling rose and a whipped, creamy mixture of goat cheese, pecans, chives and aleppo pepper. The rose was rose, it was a small sipping glass, while the whipped treat was alright, interesting but presentation was very basic. For the real meal, we started with bigeye tuna tartare and the pork belly and watermelon. The pork belly was perfect, nice and crispy on the outside, juicy inside, while the watermelon gave a pop of sweetness to cut the savory of the pork belly. The tartare was equally as good with pickled ginger, avocado and ponzu sauce with crispy wontons. For entrees we went with the langostino fettuccine and the braised short rib. The short rib fell apart perfectly and had good flavor to it. It didn't necessarily come off as memorable but it was good. The langostino fettuccine was great, good amount of langostino in a vodka sauce giving a little spicy note to the dish. Very good. To end the meal we had the apple cobbler and the molten cake. The cobbler came with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts. Nice overall bite. The molten cake was the opposite of molten, missing that runny gooeyness in the middle. Overall, great ambiance, good food and pleasant staff. I'd say skip the molten cake and up to you on the short rib.
