Veronica ChaviraJuly 16, 2018A hot spot in LA! Brunch is popular and reservations are recommended. Live bands in the evenings on weekdays and mixologists. You will find some of the best rooftop views of Downtown LA.
Karli ScottJune 1, 2018What a view! This is a great place to celebrate. We loved all the cocktails, and you can’t go wrong with the food. Make sure to make a reservation in advance- we got seated immediately with opentable.
Kiana LynnSeptember 21, 2015Crabcake bennie had a spongy texture which I dislike (breading issue), huevos rancheros looked very good! You pay for the fantastic ambiance here, very worth it! Live jazz at Sunday brunch.
Nooshin ShafieeJuly 29, 2019Waiters are super polite and friendly, the view is nice. Great french onion soup. Salad was ok, nothing special. Filet mignon was soft and juicy. Definitely try dessert here! The best desserts ever!
Katerina KuvNovember 1, 2018One of the best rooftops, great for dates, romantic atmosphere, trendy, food music. Quite cheap alcohol and amazing place for chill with picturesque view
Mechell ElleAugust 18, 2015Parked at Pershing Square. Hung out at the rooftop bar while we waited for our table. Filet mignon and the loup de mer were our best dishes. Creme brûlée and bread pudding for dessert.
Arnie PanameñoFebruary 20, 2016This place has a wonderful view and the staff is friendly. Come by to toss back a few drinks and take in the LA skyline.
Cathérine V.DSeptember 7, 2016Loved the food, the view, the atmosphere, really nice bartenders.. Good way to start a lovely day downtown! Go for the charcuterie plate and mixed fruit!
AlexMay 10, 2015Food is great (especially the tuna tartare). Medium-high prices. Excellent staff and service. The rooftop has an amazing atmosphere. Also: great cocktails (if you enjoy vodka, try the Lolita!).
Mandy JonesMarch 10, 2015I usually get filet mignon or steak frites when I'm here. Their truffle fries (with or without cheese) are so delicious! Gorgeous views and live music. Sketchy elevators to get to the top though!- T ManJanuary 24, 2019Great views good vibe and drinks fo early its more fun at 5 on the wknd without the big crowds. We liked the table on the edge between the patio and the inside. It seems to combine the best of both!
Kartik SMay 19, 2015Rooftop setting is probably the best part. Great food too although be prepared for a lighter wallet. Filet mignon was great -- with glazed Brussels sprouts on the side.
Kristeena SarverMarch 14, 2019Fantastic views. Delicious food. Can get a bottle of wine with dinner and carry it up to the rooftop bar to enjoy after dinner.
Khaled AlkulaibAugust 31, 2017One of the best experiences at DTLA ... Go earlier than your reservation and head to the rooftop bar for a drink ... Always ask for an outside table
Kimberley BoeckholtOctober 7, 2017The food, the drinks, the service, and most definitely the stunning view. This is one of my favorite places to spend a romantic evening while in downtown LA.
Drita KesslerJuly 8, 2013A great rooftop French Bistro. The truffle fries w cheese and bacon are one beat from a heart attack. Try instead the shrimp w sauce mere and indulge on Des Pates a la sauce Mornay.- Dan NielsenFebruary 10, 2017This was a unique experience. Great views from the tables on the patio, live music and amazing rooftop bar to finish. Food and service was great!
StephJune 5, 2013Music is a bit strange for a bar but its one of my favorite rooftop spots in DTLA. Only the full bar inside serves the real cocktails. Head to the outside bars for anything else.- E MarMarch 30, 2016Cute little rooftop speakeasy in DTLA. Grab a glass of wine on the roof and watch the sunset over LA
k&k kılıçApril 27, 2018Perfect menu 👍🏾 .. very delicious tastes with a very beautiful city view... Also live music and dj sets are awesome 👍🏾👍🏾
Evan GramisAugust 16, 2014Hands down the best place for rooftop drinks downtown. A little pricey, but absolutely worth it. Call ahead for reservations if you want a spot to sit!
Candis WalkerJuly 6, 2013This place is awesome.. We went their for happy hour before a concert it was great.. The views, food and drinks were amazing
An attractive space with lovely views of the city, it's a great place to stop for a drink when adventuring around downtown.
Dëva HolikOctober 22, 2014Rooftop brunch or happy hour very trendy, try to get a table outside or hang out by the bar with great appetizers and late night
Edgar SarmientoJune 21, 2017Great date spot if you can get a reservation or are just going to hang out on the rooftop bar. Appetizers were better than the main courses IMO.
Jeremiah ChuaJune 29, 2015Definitely a great place to hang and grab some drinks with friends. The rooftop allows you to have a scenic view of the downtown Los Angeles nightlife.
Los Angeles magazineMarch 16, 2012perfectly cooked fillet of perch (the fish, and a clever pun) over baby leeks, the buttermilk-marinated and crispy-baked frog legs, and the down-home take on a cassoulet called Pork & Beans. Read more
Stephanie LowSeptember 1, 2014Best scenic view of downtown LA in a rooftop restaurant x bar with live bands for free. Over 21 after 9pm.
Jeff LesserApril 17, 2018Incredible ambiance. Best burger slider I’ve ever had (happy hour is 4-6. Get here).
Crash DeckerMarch 12, 2014what an enchanting evening at this restaurant!! Amazing environment and amazing food and music! ILL BE BACK
Barry GribbonApril 3, 2013The roof top, after 3 elevators, is a great place to sit and watch the sunset. They closed it down when the bartenders got cold, so we had to go sit on the deck with the groovy jazz band.
Shelya JonesNovember 23, 2014Jazz band on Friday nights is awesome! Beat the lines and come early (7-10 pm) to hear them.
RaniaAugust 14, 2019Great for sunset drinks. Good music, couldn’t find places to sit but didn’t mind standing.
Holly W.January 7, 2016Really good food, esp. truffle mashed potatoes. I got a three course meal on NYE. Beautiful view, if outside in front of fireplace. Pricey.
Saurabh KapoorJune 27, 2016Loved the tuna tartar. Ordered the Bordeaux. For main course or plat principal, got the bunny!
NαɯαϝJuly 13, 2019Expensive drinks .. but the place & the atmosphere are amazing .. worth a visit 👍🏾
Mai TepAugust 19, 2012Awesome view, great food and excellent service. This is definitely a place to check out. Great manager too. :)
Scott DunhamDecember 26, 2013Amazing Armagnac, no wait to get in. Expect to wait to get upstairs and for the loo. Met 2 lovelies from London and had half a dozen.
Leslie MacchiarellaAugust 6, 2015Try a Pennicillin or a Hemmingway cocktail at the rooftop sky bar at sunset. Killer view included for no extra charge.
M SAugust 21, 2017Take the elevator to the 13th floor and then again to the 15th floor for the restaurant or the 16th floor for the bar.
During the summer they have live music...and great views. Jazz, wine & amazing views...what are you waiting for?- Kelley L.February 4, 2015Order the charcuterie! The meats are amazing. Also, $25 sangria pitchers are amazing!
Lovely live music .. Amazing feeling of the view .. A place to date or chill with friends ! Nice coffee !
Robert GallegosAugust 5, 2019Amazing views, good food, outstanding service, and great beer selection.
Jona Rak KoceliSeptember 26, 2016I've had the best eggs benedict for brunch here. Staff is super friendly!
