We came for pre-theatre dining (Pantages). They accommodated a day-before expansion of our party from 7 to 9 people and were quite gracious. They setup patio heaters for us and we were ready to go. The service was efficient but not rushed, we took advantage of their free parking and walked to and from the theatre. The food was solid - and the drinks were tasty. There were several other large parties but we would have never known. Food and drink came out in great time and they even brought a slice of delicious lemon cake with a candle so we could wish my daughter in law a happy birthday. This will be our go-to spot for pre-Pantages meals!

Knowledgeable, accessible, and friendly staff accentuated a complete, satisfying meal. Thanks!

A Memorable Dining Experience at Status Hollywood I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Status Hollywood today, and I cannot say enough about how incredible the experience was. Chef John and Alisa truly outdid themselves, creating a dining experience that was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the plates arrived, each dish was a masterpiece. The oxtail sliders, goat curry, jerk chicken, and lamb chops were all exquisite—each bite was full of flavor, cooked to perfection, and simply delightful. The sides, from the rice to the cabbage, were equally amazing, complementing the dishes beautifully. Even the strawberry lemonade was a standout—it was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The ambiance of Status Hollywood added so much to the experience. The music set the perfect tone, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was warm and inviting. Everything about this place exudes excellence. I can’t wait to come back, try more dishes, and share this gem with friends. Chef John and Alisa, thank you for making today so memorable with your incredible talent and warm hospitality. Status Hollywood is a place I’ll be raving about to everyone I know. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! #StatusHollywood #IncredibleFood #AmazingAmbiance #MemorableDining

Very packed for the day after New Year's...couple of large parties, which caused a delay in us getting our food. The waiter was very nice...the food was excellent (as always). I ordered Veal Picatta ... I'm not usually a veal-type person as it tends to be very over-cooked and dry -- but mine was was just terrific (they really know how to cook veal).

We had a delightful time at the Hollywood Rooftop! The service was a tiny bit discombobulated (our appetizers came out after our entrees, for example), but staff were earnest, attentive, and friendly. The food was good! I had the ahi nachos, and they were delicious. Huge portion. We also got the garlic cheese puffs, which were great, and I had a side of broccolini which was delicious. Fun ambiance with the wax celebrities hanging out around the rooftop - and even though it’s outside they had enough portable heaters that we were comfy and warm. I would go back next time we’re in town!
