The Black Truffle Grilled Cheese with Crispy Onion Rings are a perfect comfort food . Pair it with a glass of wine or beer . The portion size is perfect, which makes it not over the top indulgent.
One of the best views in Santa Monica , though most of the tables by the window are for larger groups only. If you're a group of two, you might be seated further inside, away from the windows.
Great view . Love the open space to relax. Empty during the day, enjoy a drink and the hotel wifi as you see the beautiful people go by.
Breakfast of champions with the best view in town . Doesn't matter what you choose; it's all at the level you would expect upon entering (you did take the glass elevator , right?).
The view is very nice. Mimosa rating: good alcohol to juice ratio, good service , price point is like whatever since they use cheap sparkling wine . Try the prosecco version.
Hostess was a bit rude, but the view was amazing!! Food was good too, but not too fantastic. Do try their mussel and sea scallop .
The drinks and food are exceptional but don't get it twisted, everyone is here for the view .
Blackberry remy cocktail , the mussels , the shrimp , the scallops - and the filet.. With a glass of red. All about presentation.. And tastes are amazing! (As well as the views )
Kate at the bar is the best!! Great views . Great night spot. Also great for brunch ! Benedict, aperol smash , any flatbread , breakfast burger , kogi sliders , viet stk sandwich ... Too many to name!
Start with the crab cakes . Then have the NY Strip medium, with a double baked potatoe & a glass of Cabernet . Wow. If you have room for dessert , the creme brulee is the perfect ending. BOOM.
Great DJ . It gets pretty crowded on the weekends but still fun.
Had dinner and breakfast here. The dinner was okay. The breakfast was great, but my opinion is largely influenced by how perfect the bacon was.
Good coo and great atmosphere. French toast is great. They use fresh squeezed juices in their cocktails
Try the Crab Cakes - Crab cakes small with a great crunch. The celery added a nice acidity. And the endives were wonderful.
Amazing cocktails and good ambience! Average age ~35 get the bubbles and kiwi !
The breakfast here is ok but not as amazing as the fantastic view to the beach ...????!!!....they have a Good Cappuccino here...????☕
Make sure you try the chocolate soufflé , it melts in your mouth.
Get the tables near the windows to enjoy a beautiful view of the beach :)
Try the Crab Cakes - Crab cakes with cucumber and endive salad . Lots of great crab flavor. Great crunch too.
Fri nite drinks and music , fun and good times. Leave your Hollywood-ass 'tude at tree door!
Amazing views . Amazing service. Amazing drinks. And guess what amazing food!
Great view . Solid cocktails . Hit and miss service
Hadn’t been here for 6 years, since 2012. Surprisingly it was still great!
Star mixologist Ryan Magarian developed the drink list at this luxurious 18th-floor restaurant and lounge , which has fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean and Hollywood.
Get the French Toast for Brunch and ask for Robert, great service. And the view : INCREDIBLE!
French Toast !!! Bananas Foster style SO rich and amazing!! I'm usually a waffle person this was TO DIE FOR
Probably the best view in Santa Monica . Ocean, mountains , and downtown. Incredible.
Gorgeous views of the Pacific and Santa Monica. The black truffle flatbread is fantastic!
Best combo...beef short ribs with the warm chips . Highly recommended!
Come for the food. Stay for the view . But don't try to have a conversation at dinner . This place is loud !
This place is beautiful a must go when in LA
the view is amazing and the food is great too!
Try the Papa's Pilar Bitters & Blonde....so tasty!!! @papaspilar #rum #rumcocktails
Great service and great food! Their wines were fantastic, I would definitely recommend to everyone to take on a date.
Amazing views and such a classy and sophisticated atmosphere.
Highly recommend the Belgian Waffles breakfast . Classic Benedict is good too.
The chef cut was awesome choice ????
Very pricey but nice
Gorgeous view and awesome "sunset hour" menu
The Steamed Mussels with the Pommes Frites , washed down with Pinot Grigio . Try not to look like a barbarian as you slurp down the herbed broth.
Try the Grilled Cheese Sandwich - HERE's a grilled cheese sandwich - Chimay Grand Cru & Le Marechal cheeses on sourdough .
Amazing views , okay food.
Great staff on Sundays even after the craziness that is Fri/Sat nights here. Two thumbs up for the service.
Nice view and service but the food was average, I didn’t like the banana french toast at all .
Try the aperol smash cocktail . Delicious
Here for breakfast or brunch ? Order the Omelet of the Day. This chef does not mess around...
View is amazing..food is fine but not life changing
Here's a tip for the bar/restaurant staff - be nice, look people in the eye and don't act like you can't be bothered.
The hostesses are rude but it's worth the sacrifice for the amazing view !
Must gets: the Brussel Spouts, the Thyme and Cucumber Amnesia and the chocolate Lava Cake .
Awesome flavors. Get the carnitas fries. But definitely off on the carb:meat ratio on the sliders - Dan Kao
The coconut shrimp sushi was incredible! Best Cesar salad ever! - Julie Cohn
The street is very good for shopping and walking , everything was nice there :) - Saud'????????
There's great seating up on the second floor. And if they have spaghetti squash when you go, definitely try it! It's so good! - Mere
