I came by last night with my date, and from the moment we pulled up, we were greeted by valet. Once they took our car, they had a professional security team greet us and opened the nice huge doors to the restaurant. We were instructed to check in with the host team and they were quick and professional as well. Once seated, we were helped by a server named Jessica, who helped us throughout the night. Jessica was very attentive and provided us with superior customer service, she definitely went above and beyond. A short time after we had Alfredo come to our table and he too was very helpful, he definitely looked out for us. Thank you TAO for making my date night one for the books.

This was one of my favorite dining experiences yet. Every course was such a hit. The macadamia/caviar course and the uni egg were both some of my favorite dishes that I have ever eaten, I was just in heaven with every bite. I had never heard of John Dory till I dined here, it was so fun to try a new fish and I was in love with the way that they prepared it! It had such unique and delicious flavors. The chocolate dessert was so delectable and the apple one was extremely refreshing. I really wish that they gave you menus at the end but I loved that they gave us a providence bag as well as some house made granola on our way out!

First time here and I was really impressed! The hotel looks pretty nice from what I did see. There is parking right behind the building but it’s about $15 for 3 hours. So definitely a good spot to get some food and drinks than maybe walk around for a bit. First-The location is right next to the beach, and Venice boardwalk area. The lounge has a decent amount of tables and lounge sectionals. High top tables as well and a pretty nice bar. There is a DJ as well that had pretty good music going. Along with fires that kept you warm on chilly nights. The VIEWS were amazing though. Probably the best part of the place. Second-The food was good. I got the beyond avocado burger and it was awesome. The fries were even better! It had a great taste to to. Good size and definitely fresh. My fiancé got the bbq pizza and it was like a Chicago deep dish style. It was pretty good. We’re from the east coast so we’re picky about pizza. For drinks I happened to get a beer which was always good. My fiancé got a glass of Cabernet. It was good but for $16 a glass it wasn’t that good. Especially since the bottle is only $22. But overall I gave this place a 5 star because of the views and the vibe. I highly recommend this place!

Great to know Takami is still as fantastic as I recall. The tacos were super light and delicious, the "21st st. Roll" was really tasty treat, both are must haves. Char from the grill for the veggie robatas added some great depth and make sure to get the black truffle sauce with it. Sea Bass was really good. And thank God for RC, the best mixologist in LA. Cocktails are amazing and make sure to ask for a "Time & Place" shot. You'll be in for a really fun treat. "Gold Shorts" secret menu cocktail is also a must.

What a fun and terrific place for dinner! Great atmosphere - LOTS of plants throughout the dining room - and just a very fun, relaxed vibe. The food was amazing. Great flavours, creative mixes of spices. Vegetable focused with lots of options with protein from the sea and plains. We took the recommendation of our serving staff and shared appetizers for the table (4 of us) then followed with our own main dishes. Everything was excellent. Also great cocktails and wine list and a terrific sommelier. A special note about the staff. From the host station at the front door right through, everyone was so nice and welcoming. The server team, lead by Anthony, were all very knowledgeable about dishes and just so helpful. They achieved what is often a delicate balance between attentive and being intrusive. Well done!!

Calabra is a fine roof top bar and restaurant with fantastic views of Santa Monica, delicious food, and solid service. Our waitress was Nash, and she was excellent 😊 Octopus 🐙 is good of you like bacon flavor. Ceviche 🐟 was unusual in style and delicious in flavor—I’d order it again. 🥦 was crisp And everyone was happy with their entrée orders of fish, pasta, and Caesar salad.

My first impression when I arrived at the hotel lobby: was the stunning, classy, and elegant decorations and settings. To enter the rooftop, head to the front desk and let them know you are visiting the rooftop, and they will assist in letting you go up. I remember that customer service was excellent here, or maybe our server was great (Steve). The rooftop views are stunning, but maybe you can see it better during the day with less cold and dine outside to enjoy the view in the West Hollywood/LA area. We only ordered the oysters and ceviche, and It was okay, but most people were here for drinks and the views. Visiting the rooftop during the day and night when it's less cold is highly recommended. Reservation is needed.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The most incredible and unforgettable dinner. Every course, every sake and wine pairing and presentation was immaculate. They even notice the little things like how my husband is left handed so they would serve his meal the opposite way from the 5 others at the table who was right handed. Our server Devon was so funny, engaging and entertaining. The chef came out at the end to say hello too and I just finished eating the brownie they packed for us to enjoy. Thanks for the great time!

This place has the best disco "ball" I've ever seen and the best set up in the area, hands down. It's so close to Hollywood but also hidden away enough that it's not crazy packed. I've only seen a small line on weekends. Drinks are decent, only because it depends on who makes your drink. On the same night I got two of the same drinks and one was whatever while the other one was actually really good. Different bartenders. Still, they have live music after 11 and good music selection overall.

Thursday at noonish we were seated immediately but weren't that happy with our table. An employee noticed my unhappiness and immediately went and secured us a better table right at the window. The tables on the balcony would be great at sunset but the sun was too bright at noon. The whipped eggplant and puffy bread is fantastic and the bread was great with our salad, diver scallops and branzino. The service was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the decor and ambiance were unique and fun. Not cheap but worth the splurge and I look forward to returning!

Definitely a top tier location on in West Hollywood. This restaurant has one of the best vibes in the city, the interior has a cool dark theme with wood and old school lighting. There are dancers and just overall good flow with music. The music increases in vibes as it gets later and turns into a little party. the weekends become a real party and sunday has an amazing jazz night. Make sure to make a reservation before hand, they are not big on walk ins. The food is ok not crazy good but they have decent options that satisfy.

Very uninspiring place with racist tactics used at the door. I was invited to a private event at this lounge for a magazine. The actress on that months cover invited me. We arrived at prime time so I was patient and understood there was a capacity issue. Me and my party and next in line and the owner or bar manager comes out to control the door shouting about the fire marshall but in reality it was just racist tactics being used to control the door. I stood by as this man let in GROUPS of white folk into the lounge that he allegedly knew. I let it go on for a while until I finally expressed that I was invited by the person throwing the event. He then lied and says that now they’re just letting in people for the lounge and not the event…even though the event was going for another hour and I KNEW that. I didn’t even argue with the man because it was very clear what was going on. I shouldn’t be surprised because it’s a door in Beverly Hills but where is the professionalism? If a big magazine buys you out for a certain amount of time and you just refuse to let in VIP Guests from the party…like how greedy and messed up? Anyway, this is probably your regular Beverly Hills type place so do with that what you will.
