    Top Notch Service and Views! Great place to catch the sunset and have a TASTY Cocktail

    The food was really good and well prepared. Service was a bit slow and could be more attentive. Hope to see improvements next time!

    Located on the 34th floor of the AC Hotel, the views are absolutely prime! At night, you can see all angles of LA from this restaurant, lounge and bar. The vibe is romantic- a little dark and moody so that the lights of the skyline pop! The menu isn't huge but there is a good variety of options. My colleague and I split a cobb salad and added salmon. The salad was filled with many tasty goodies inside and the salmon was cooked crisp on the outside but very tender on the inside. We also shared a delicious carrot cake. For drinks, we both got something off of their signature cocktail menu and really enjoyed our drinks. The people next to us got a smoked Manhattan that would've been our next drink if we were ordering more. I guess it should be expected of LA, but the prices are crazy steep. For two drinks, 1 salad and a desert, we paid $120. It was wild considering we didn't even get our own meals, but maybe that's to be expected given the view and vibes.

    Amazing service and amazing staff 10/10 The food is my fav part! Everything is so yummy whoever is chef is on point

    Steak and potatoes

    Gorgeous restaurant! Food was amazing! Brendan our waiter was super nice as well! Also it was my birthday and they gave me a way yummy yellow cake with vanilla bean ice cream Also the burger is amaazzzingggg, one of the best burgers I've had in a long time The steak and potatoes were amazing 10/10 on the food!! The reasons why I'm knocking off a start though was because there's a seat yourself sign walking up but we had reservations and Brendan was the only worker we saw but he was busy so we were standing around awkwardly and had to find him in the back of the restaurant which was a little weird Also the peroni draft was incredibly flat, almost tasted like when you leave an open beer sitting out for a day But they replaced it no problem so not that big a deal! Wish I could give this place 4.5 stars!

    If you are looking for delicious food and a great view, look no further than the newly opened AC Bar and Lounge in the AC Marriott hotel downtown LA. Frankly, my expectations were low - its a bar/restaurant in a hotel. How good could the food be? Wow, I was wrong. Amazing. For dinner, we split the farro risotto and creamy potatoes and both were just to die for. We tried the cookies for desert - salted Carmel and three types of macaroons. They were good (we are kind of macaroon snobs so they were not fantastic, but solid). Normally I'm great with photos but we were starving and once we dug in, all bets were off for good photography! Jared, our server was fantastic - great recommendations and attentive without being overbearing. We popped down for breakfast in the morning. There is a buffet and they also have 2 chef dishes that are included. This morning was a Belgian waffle with fruit and a toast with mango cheese and scrambled egg with arugula. Both - amazing. We are leaving super early in the morning yet confirmed we will be able to grab breakfast before we go!

    It was a quick girl's night out, a last-minute decision, and we were not disappointed. The vibe and view were spot on, service was good just not spectacular. It was after 10 pm, so I definitely will show grace to that. We each ordered an entree with a grilled cheese to share. Honestly, the grilled cheese was the star of the show. It was toasted to perfection and paired with a blueberry compote that was just fabulous! We would go back!

    Worst place. Had to ask for plates, napkins & ..... utensils. Don't mind paying the price but the service is horrendous. Manager came by but only because we asked. He was great....

    Food was great. Lighting was very dim. Made it hard to see menu at times. Service is average for a large chain hotel.

    Nice brunch. Good staff. Overpriced but if you have to spend the hotel meal bucks somewhere, this is not a bad way to do it.

The ambiance has a perfect speakeasy vibe with its dim lighting and relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to just hang out and grab a quality drink. The cocktail program here is absolutely phenomenal. I am pretty picky when it comes to whiskey, and since Manhattans are my absolute favorite, my expectations were high. They mixed an incredible Manhattan that was perfectly balanced with the right sweet vermouth, and their Old Fashioneds are crafted with an attention to detail that really lets the spirits shine through. We also ordered a few Paper Planes, and they were dangerously good, hitting that perfect sweet and sour note that makes you want to immediately order another round. It is not just the incredible drinks that make this place stand out, but the exceptional service from the bartenders. They are super knowledgeable and treat craft cocktail making like a true art form, all while keeping the vibe laid-back and welcoming. If you are looking for an unmatched whiskey selection and a fantastic atmosphere in Los Angeles, this place is an absolute must-visit. Easy 5 stars for sure.

Having been here many times over the past decade, I've discovered some great bourbons, scotches, and had some great cocktails. But those days are unfortunately in years past. In a place that prides itself in its whisky, the bartenders are sorely lacking in their knowledge around their own bar. With an extensive selection, I don't expect them to know everything, but bartenders not knowing what is meant by a neat pour (straight out of the bottle into the glassware, no ice, and not mixed) was unexpected. I'm getting the impression that while they still mix old fashioneds, a scotch such as Ardbeg is now an unusual and baffling request. I've been here a handful of times in the past few months, and it can be lively or dead, but it's now just any other bar. If you want a fun cocktail you can find anywhere else, this place will do, but unfortunately it's lost what has separated this bar from any of the other bars in dtla.
