I went to Tao for my birthday dinner celebration with my family and had a WONDERFUL time. If you've never been to any Tao location you're in for quite a surprise when you walk in and see how large and gorgeous the restaurant is. It's decor is absolutely stunning. I requested a booth because loved the look of it with the lights overhead and was accommodated with no issue. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and really made out meal even better because she was so kind and funny. All of the food was delectable; I especially enjoyed all of the dim sum options. My family is full of people with different tastes and there was something we each loved and enjoyed all of it. My parents had also arranged with the restaurant to bring me a giant birthday platter with a huge fortune cookie to celebrate and it was all delicious and fantastic. I don't want to spoil anything but make sure you read your fortune from your cookie in the end! I really loved Tao and I'll be back to this one and the one in NYC soon!

I literally asked if the cushions provided on the bench side of the seating were for screams (of joy), or for tears (of happiness). From personal experience, they can be used for both. Julia, our server, wove us a majestic tale with every course. The wine pairings introduced me to my two best friends of the evening, Tim and David, the sommeliers with the uh… mostliers? They taught me tasty tidbits about geography, history, and the inner workings of the master sommelier diploma examination. The only thing I love more in this life than eating delicious food is learning. The courses began with a caviar + macadamia nut combination that made me tear up. I finally understood why Robin Leach's sign off of “champagne kisses and caviar dreams” because this is the pinnacle of flavor combinations. Shout out to the server’s assistants Jose and Teon, who were immaculate in their attention to detail, swooping in to fill water and clear crumbs and to hold me as I waxed poetic about the fact that I was enjoying the best meal of my life. The second course was a yellowtail sashimi. This was paired with the most crisp, refreshing and buttery Riesling I’d ever had. Both the fish and the wine melted in my mouth. The tartness of the fruit and vegetable was a perfect complement to the velvet taste of the fish, and the richness of the olive oil. The amazingness had only begun, because next up was a warm fricassee of shellfish. The uni from the amuse bouche was back, this time joined with geoduck, abalone, and pistachios. There was also a sourdough that accompanied this dish, the perfect vehicle with which to soak up all of the broth. The wine paired here was from Italy, a blend I’d never experienced before, along with a history lesson that blew my mind. Next was a scallop crowned in black truffles. It was bathed in leek fondue. The scallop was firm and juicy, the truffle bursting with earthy flavor. The wine that went with this course was a “blanche” hermitage. The bold flavors and meatiness of a red were present in this white somehow, maybe through alchemy. After the pre-dinner “hey, look at this sexy box of fungus” presentation, we had no choice but to get some sweet sweet black truffle added to our meal. My husband chose the home-made pasta, which comes served at a perfect al-dente, covered with butter and an aged parmesan. Good enough to eat on its own. But then, the truffle. At this point I was already wondering how it was that the Earth I lived on was party to such an ethereal combination of flavors and textures. We weren’t even done. We had John Dory next. How is the inside of a fish iridescent? Literally made of magical rainbows. The pieces were fused together with a shrimp mousseline. It was creamy and hearty and delicious. If seafood were a cheeseburger, wrapped in hugs and warm blankets. And the wine, an amazing wine, the Batič. This winery has been around for over 400 years, and this white blend is a roll of the dice every year, they take all the grapes and throw them into the process and see what comes out and hopefully it’s good. It was more than good. It was amazing. My final (non-dessert) course was duck. It came two ways, a slice of perfect breast, and a leg rolled into napa cabbage. The whole thing was paired beautifully with a Syrah from Santa Barbara that I wanted to take home and lock in the cellar in a non-Silence of the Lambs way. The dessert courses started with compressed apple, a grenade with flavors of lemon and verbena, and buddha’s hand, refreshing and beautiful. For the next dessert course, I had a passionfruit souffle, because I don’t eat chocolate. It was a potent mix of freshness and sweetness. It was paired with a silky-smooth, honeyesque wine that complimented it perfectly. My only regret was that as I left the restroom, my husband was waiting for me at the host stand, and I did not get an opportunity to thank and embrace all the friends I made along the way. I hope that this review finds its way to them, so they know how much I appreciate them.

Sooo E.P. & L.P. is a nice vibe for friends or a date night. We started in the restaurant to enjoy their flavorful food and ended up on the rooftop for drinks. The night was great, our waitress was friendly and provided good suggestions. We enjoyed the house sauce (I forgot the name) so much that we asked for a bottle to go which they normally don’t do but the manager hooked us up! Unfortunately, we totally forgot the sauce at the hostess stand (slaps face). The decor is lively and has personality. Definitely a repeat visit.

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!

I recommend the calamari, stuffed pepper, churro waffle, their hand rolls and most of their menu. The scallops is great, hand rolls and most of the menu. Reservation recommended to avoid the longer waits, but the bar side might be a better bet if you’re just a walk in.

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!!

Ok! So...visited the lovely Rooftop gem again yesterday and had a wonderful day there DESPITE sub-par mediocre service. The server while very sweet was so NOT on point for a place where NO ONE gets out without dropping a couple hundred bucks! My truffle burger was very good, the cocktails 🍸 were excellent, the atmosphere lively. However, the lobster burger was very mushie, and fishy. It had NO lobster taste at all (why is a shrimp sandwich labeled as a lobster burger?🤷🏽‍♀️) and with a $44 price tag it really does need to be lobster 🦞 Not shrimp🦐 Just sayin💁🏽‍♀️ But, despite these minor details, we had a great time. Excellent! Excellent view! Excellent service! Excellent meal! Everything was literally wonderful! The open airy, beautiful, patio with the panoramic (mostly) view of everything,, the lovely breeze kept it from getting too hot, the lobster burger was very good, the fries crispy, my mint & citrus Panna Cota was delish and refreshing. Everyone loved their drinks 🍸, mojitos and margaritas 🍹! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for brunch or any meal BUT, be prepared as it is NOT cheap! It is pretty pricey but, worth it!

Had to see what all the hype was about!! I decided to visit during my birthday week. Super cutesy restaurant in Hollywood. Food was actually good. The atmosphere was nice-- definitely gave cutesy, let's get pretty vibes. It was a bit loud but not too bad. I would say this is a nice spot for more of a girls night instead of date night out w| bae. My waitress was literally the sweetest + went above and beyond. I would definitely visit again.

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!

We went to Elephante for my mom’s birthday brunch and we were very impressed with the decor and ambience of this place. You have the choice of sitting in 2 dining areas (Garden or Sunset) and we chose to sit in the Sunset area which provided ocean views. We ordered the whipped eggplant appetizer with bread which was really tasty along with some pizza and pastas. The drinks here are great as well. My only complaint is that the bathroom system could be a bit nicer, but the rest of the restaurant makes up for this. If you want a fun and vibrant restaurant, then I highly recommend going here for a great brunch experience!

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.
