    Honestly one of the more pretty outdoor restaurants. Food was pretty mid. I would only come back here for the view and some drinks, that’s about it. Sadly disappointed.

    Hardly anyone else there, and service was inattentive. Burrata appetizer was very good, Cacio e Pepe was soupy. Very nice atmosphere.

    We came here for my sister’s birthday. A great location close to Pantages Theater where we watched a”Wicked “, just a short walk. Amazing views on the rooftop.of the Hollywood sign and the iconic Capitol Records building. Loved all the twinkling lights and low lights in dining room creating an intimate ambiance. The Signature Lemon Pasta and Lemon Cocktail was delicious. The service was outstanding and the server paced everything well. We will definitely return to this restaurant !
