Had a great time with a group of friends here on a Saturday night! Sat in the beautiful outside area and enjoyed the great ambiance while having a delicious dinner. We all split the milk bread (phenomenal!) and a couple of the crudo/sashimi apps and all had different entrees - all great. My friend ordered the chicken and it was HUGE. They ended the meal with a surprise little treat which was the icing on top. Big shout out to Isaac who was a phenomenal server and helped make the night truly great for us. read more

I loved the Aesthetic of this restaurant. It is a very sexy vibe. The service was excellent. Gideon was our server and he was amazing and attentive. The food was also delicious. We had the roasted carrots with hummus and pine nuts, the salmon sashimi, the Caesar salad, the NY Strip and the Branzino. I loved the carrots, my steak was cooked perfectly, the salad was elevated by citrus and anchovies: not your average caesar salad. The overall the entire experience was a pleasure. I plan on having a dinner party with friends there because it was such a vibe. read more

My first proper meal to kick off the new year. Our party of 5 came in for dinner on the first day of dineLA. They're located inside the Edition hotel so if you're driving you'll have to valet since parking on Sunset is minimal. We opted for the dineLA menu, but ended up getting a few other dishes. Two things stood out for me. First is the milk bread. Thank goodness we each got 2 pieces. One would've been a tease. That bread was full of flavor and nearly melted in my mouth. The other was the salmon sashimi. The sauce it sat on was so tasty I wish we had extra bread. Honorable mention to the lobster tagliatelle. That pasta was perfectly cooked. The service was amazing. Miranda and the rest of the team took such great care of us. I didn't catch his name, but the gentleman who dropped off our food was so entertaining. He always came back with a new joke. We ended up staying longer than I anticipated because we ended up with so much food. We were in agreement that everything was full of flavors. Not one dish disappointed any of us. A well deserved Michelin star! read more

The hotel and restaurant are beautiful--modern, trendy, and perfect for date night or a formal dinner. Valet is $22. Service was excellent, very attentive without feeling rushed. Food was good overall, with some clear highlights. The milk bread and lobster pasta were both fantastic and worth ordering. The Caesar salad was solid. For mains, the skirt steak surprised us--super tender with a delicious mole salt. The lamb chops, though flavorful, were extremely fatty and the portion felt disappointing for the price. We enjoyed the experience and the vibe, but for what we spent, the value wasn't quite there compared to other spots. Good meal, beautiful setting, but not quite memorable enough for us to return soon. read more

Came for the Double Chicken Please cocktail popup and was unfortunately really disappointed. The food is pretty good, but rather overpriced for what you get, and service was UNBELIEVABLY slow. Clearly management understaffed for this special event. We sat for about 20 minutes before we even saw our waiter, who was clearly so overwhelmed with tables that he did not check on us during our meal at all. We were only able to have one cocktail over the course of 2 hours because of how long it took to place our order-- and because by the time we tried to order round 2, the bartenders had stopped making 80% of the drinks on the menu. By 8:30pm, the popup was basically over. To make a reservation for an expensive dinner solely because of an out of town popup, and then not even getting to order the specialty cocktails, is beyond frustrating and disappointing. Nobody involved seems to quite know how to run a specialty popup. I never would have had dinner here if I had known the cocktails were so limited. read more

Delicious fabulous meal with lovely flavors and beautiful ambiance. The decor is beautiful with luscious greens and candlelight. We ordered the Scallops, Branzino, skirt steak, onion rings, and the strawberry rhubarb dessert. Everything was better than anticipated and well portioned. I would order everything again. My favorite was the Strawberry Rhubbarb Tart for dessert. read more

Came here on a friday night for a friend's birthday. Parking is VALET only. The ambiance was perfect and the views were very contemporary mixed with modern elements that were warm and organic; loved the vibe! Our waitress was very welcoming and informative. She was patient as she reviewed the cocktail menu and educated us on our chosen drinks. I ordered the brightwood (10/10); others had a French 75, the Uma & the stone and vine (it's like a white sangria). For food, my friends had the seared ora king salmon and I had the prime skirt steak. With the prime skirt steak, I made sure to smash the garlic before applying it as a paste, sprinkling the mole salt on top of every bite of my steak *chef's kiss 10/10, would happily order again. The milk bread and the tempura onion rings were ordered as well. The milk bread was tasty (8/10) but the onion rings were AMAZING (10/10 best onion rings ever). Definitely will return. Great experience! read more

Ardor is the fine dining restaurant at the West Hollywood Edition and I decided to give them a try on the last night of my trip. The dining experience was excellent. They took me as a walk-in when they opened at 6 pm and I ordered the Spanish octopus. Seared striped bass, charred broccolini and the chocolate expresso torte. Every dish was great - the octopus was perfectly cooked and went really well, that bass had just the right amount of sear but the chocolate torte was the real highlight of the meal for me. Service was great but not too fussy. The restaurant interior is gorgeous - they have a secluded garden area that was just lovely. With tax and tip, this was about $140, which is great for the experience. Highly recommended!!! read more

Complete overpriced garbage. The decor and ambience was nice and that's about it. Food is completely overpriced. Lobster tagliatelle is basically a pasta w 3 bites. Popcorn chicken tasted like Costco frozen chicken nuggets. 25+ for cocktails is obscene. So many good restaurants in LA; Ardor is your classic eat-to-be-seen restaurant except you know if someone is coming here, they have no taste in food. read more

Overdue post - Came here with my husband for our wedding anniversary dinner! Food was 10/10! We ordered their signature appetizers, entrees, and dessert and they did not disappoint. I love how the chef incorporates global flavors and seasonal vegetables into the menu. Also loved the smokiness in almost all the warm dishes. These were my favorite menu items in descending order: Spanish Octopus (5/5) - omg the best octopus texture I've had. Flavors, texture, everything was on point! Prime Skirt Steak (5/5) - the smokiness and grill was absolutely amazing. Got it medium rare and it was perfect! King Crab Tagliatelle (5/5) - loved the handmade pasta, king crab chunks, and the herby lemon butter emulsion Chocolate Espresso Torte (5/5) - the wedding anniversary chocolate and candle was cute, but the dessert was on point! All sides and layers were so delicious. It's worth the $20 imo. Tandoor carrots (5/5) - again, loved the smokiness and the eggplant croutons; the hummus almost tasted like baba ganoush Milk Bread (3/5) - I know it's their signature dish, but I don't get the hype. Rosemary, salt, and tomato will always be good, but it was just bread to me. I would have preferred some butter / salt on the side. Service was amazing too! Shoutout to Tim who timed our dishes perfectly so we could enjoy it at our own pace! The ambiance was very romantic and fitting for our wedding anniversary. We went to the rooftop after to enjoy the views as well. Will definitely be back to enjoy the other seasonal menu the chef is working on right now. Love Ardor! read more

The food here continues to be amazing. You are always welcomed as soon as you walk in. The food is delectable. I love the Salmon dish, Tandor carrots, Octopus, Salad and so much more. The menu changes seasonally and some main stays continue. Try something from each section. Always trust the service of Gedion he is an excellent server. The ambiance is very calming and inviting too. read more

I'm glad I was able to visit during Dine LA week. The food, service, and indoor dining environment were all wonderful. 5th star earned for the milk bread and perfected flavor of the main dishes. Everything I tried, I would order again- milk bread, Spanish octopus, King crab tagliatelle, chocolate espresso torte. The prime skirt steak my friend got was also delicious. The bread was still warm like it had just come out of the oven, and it felt, briefly, like I was enjoying this from home. I'm not usually impressed by pasta, but the tagliatelle was so flavorful. Staff were all friendly and timely in service. And the indoor mixed flora and low-lighting caters great for small parties and dates. Parking is by valet with the attached hotel, around $20. It was convenient and quick. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and there were 7 of us. I love the interior bar and chic ambience throughout. We were seated on the patio part which reminded us how busy and loud Sunset Blvd really is! The service was OK, a bit slow and unorganized. Drinks took the longest to get. My glass of wine came out without the wine! They corrected that quickly though. The food was pretty good! But portions are small. We double ordered the milk bread and octopus. Both were good but the milk bread was the star! The onion rings were really good too, perfectly seasoned. Caesar salad was OK; the dressing has a strong anchovy taste. The Tomahawk steak was good, a little more char on the outside would've made it amazing. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly good even though it was overly decorated with peas and chives in it, turning the b-day boy off from eating them. Another guest enjoyed his burger and fries. I can attest the fries were good as well. Overall, a tasty experience with a BIG price tag (especially the drinks). Despite the small portions and spotty service, the food IS pretty good. I give this place a 3.8 for real. read more

Tried their DineLA menu and everything was fantastic. From texture to flavor to presentation. Ernesto was the best! He was very friendly and attentive, I also appreciated that he made me a custom cocktail when I told him my preferences. We came at 6pm on a Sunday (right when they open) without a reservation and they only let us sit at the bar so I highly recommend making a reservation. read more

Really terrible experience with management for the Double Chicken Please pop up. Everyone had waited in line prior to opening for them to not communicate with us until we had been waiting in a line of probably 75 people deep that they would not be taking walks in, even though every article and social media post said the bar would be walk in/first come first served. They had major attitude as if it was our problem when they could had just been more understanding / honest that they bit off more than they could chew. Would not recommended this place solely for their behavior and lack of professionalism. Very strange way to run a business read more

I dined at Ardor last night for my girlfriend's birthday. We were brought here due to the Double Chicken Please pop-up event. We went to the DCP bar in NYC last year and had some amazing cocktails so we were very excited. They had 6 main drinks for the pop-up event. We arrived at 7:15 for our reservation and were sat almost immediately. We then waited for 15-20 minutes before our waiter found the time to come see us. While we waited we could see that they were wildly understaffed on waiters. Seemingly only 3-4 waiters for the whole restaurant. We ordered our drinks and all of our food in one go. The food came out in a timely manner. It all looked amazing and tasted delicious. It was overpriced but we expected that with it being a restaurant at a hotel in WeHo. We were primarily here for the drinks. Unlike the food, the drinks were slow to come out, 35-40 minutes, around the same time as our entrees. Understanding that drink service was slow I began the task of attempting to flag down our waiter so we could put in a second round. This took about 5-10 minutes as he was running all over and never checked in on us. At this point it's around 8:15-8:20 when we try to put in our drink order. Only a bit over 2 hours into the event he tells us that the bar told him that we could no longer order any of main pop-up drinks. Irritated at this, we order 2 regular cocktails. We then proceeded to wait 40 minutes for them before canceling them and just grabbing the check. It was clear that he wasn't surprised we were frustrated when we asked for the check. He had had to comp food and drink for the party to the left and right of us. It was only as I was paying that our drinks finally showed up, 45 minutes after ordering them in a restaurant that was half full. We were here for 2.5 hours and so much of it was just waiting around for service. We go out to eat fairly often so I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of how long things generally take. This was the most irritating and annoying restaurant experience we've had in quite some time. Certainly the worst experience I've had at a place of this price point in LA. We would have spent a $100 more between drinks and dessert but were so pissed off by our time here that we left and spent our money elsewhere. Ardor management did a terrible job and wildly understaffed for the evening. This also makes me think less of Double Chicken Please as how are you out of everything after like 2 hours. As a final turn of the knife, I got the eggplant and had them box up my leftovers. The plate was half full of sauce. None of it made it into my box. I get this could sound petty but if I'm spending over $200 dollars there is some expectation at a level of service. Our waiter did his best but he never stood a chance with management doing such a bad job. Would love to know what was happening behind the bar to make everything take so damn long. read more

I have no idea what happened yesterday 01/29 but we drove about an hour to get here to have dinner and to experience Ardor but came to an unannounced closed restaurant. No signage, no posts on socials and Yelp and Google even said they were open. So it was such a bummer to come to an empty restaurant during business hours after dealing with rush hour 101 freeway traffic. We arrived and their doors were unlocked but no sight of employees or customers in sight. Parking situation here is tricky so we even walked a few blocks after finding street parking to avoid valet since I know it can be costly. We were so hungry and felt let down. We were looking forward to it and even took the extra step to check and make reservations on open table (which were available), but instead wanted to avoid putting a CC on file since we were scared to be late and would be charged $50 per person. We were willing to wait for seats once we got there as we assumed it couldn't be a full house since it was a midweek evening. Adding an extra star though since a plus is their restaurant is beautiful, chic and aesthetic. Green plants placed tastefully throughout and comfy looking seats. Can't speak on the food for obvious reasons but their menu items sounded great according to online posts. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner, the ambiance looked nice in photos and the menu was intriguing, so off to WeHo we went! We had a reservation, so we're seated immediately, but there were only two other groups in the restaurant, so getting a table wasn't going to be a problem. Started off with cocktails, of course, is there any other way to start a dinner? I got the Monkey See, Monkey Do, which sounded very interesting and, in reality, was very good and complex. The different notes of the ingredients come through with a nice banana flavor bringing up the end. Definitely a well crafted cocktail. Appetizers were a few with our party of four, but the milk bread is a must! Just super flavorful with a great texture. Just keep the milk bread coming! The scallop Semi Crudo was also nice with plenty of scallop pieces within. The tempura Onion Rings were another night recommended item and, while I won't say no to a good onion ring, I didn't see it as an item at an upscale restaurant. But, they were seasoned very well, probably the best seasoned onion ring I've ate to date. Entrees came next. The Ardor Burger, I was really hoping it would be better then it was. It just didn't stand out to me in any way. With do menu burgers available around LA, it was forgettable. The Pacific Striped Bass was cooked well but it definitely felt like something was missing from the dish. The filet mignon was cooked very well, as was the strip steak. Would definitely say, if you're coming to Ardor, for entrees, go with the steaks, they were the best of the entrees. Overall, a nice restaurant with cute ambiance. Some dishes were hits (talking to you milk bread) while others need a makeover (work on it Ardor Burger). Drinks were very good. A nice date meal spot if you're looking for one read more

This place is simply stunning. Unfortunately the rooftop was closed the evening we went but even the indoor dining experience was just exquisite. You are surrounded by plants and it just feels so welcoming. Staff had amazing hospitality. My burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, and topped with fresh ingredients, making every bite a flavorful treat. The salad was crisp and vibrant, providing a nice balance to the meal. The drink selection complemented the meal well, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes. I had the Blonde and Ember and these were top notch. My wife had a couple of other drinks and she was pleased as well. Overall, this dinner was a satisfying experience for my wife and I that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a elegant, unique and delicious dining experience. read more

Tucked in the corner of the Edition Hotel on Sunset Blvd is Ardor. The beautifully decorated dining room with warm wood leads out into their lush green covered patio. The servers and host stand staff are all very attentive and kind. My friend and I opted to go for part of DineLA where the 3 course menu plus a milk bread course was $65. The food didn't disappoint. The milk bread was delicious and topped with just the right amount of sea salt with a tomato baked in. The octopus appetizer was seasoned well. I ordered the steak option and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. The chocolate dessert was delightful. They do add an automatic gratuity to the bill. Valet even with validation from the restaurant is a bit pricey at $22 for 3 hours. Overall it was a good DineLA experience. read more

First note, did not know that this restaurant was attached to a hotel, to the right of Edition. You can enter from the lobby or the elegant double doors to the right side of the hotel. The inside of the restaurant, beautiful, lush, and elegant. The lighting inside added to the ambiance. I kept looking around, taking in the scenes. We came for DineLa and they had great options for the fixed menu. The Milkbread was so soft and buttery, we chose the samon sashimi and my goodness, I want a bottle of that sauce it was soo good! The variety was good for the entrees, all different so you have good, different options to choose from. My parents were obsessed with the cardamom ice cream that came with the cake for dessert. We only added the onion rings to our order because the hostess recommended it and I personally don't like onions, the taste and texture just don't work for me. My family on the other hand love it and my dad said these were the best onion rings he ever tasted. I even got peer pressured into trying it and I will say.....the flavor of the batter.....amazing! I actually did finish it and I did not taste onion....but I knew I was eating it so the texture got to me...but that's a personal issue...nothing to do with how they prepared and if you asked everyone else at the table...it was a solid 10/10. read more

I was very disappointed, went there today with family for my birthday, I wish I would've picked another restaurant. I read the reviews before I booked I don't know what they are talking about or they are genuine reviews. Place was beautiful but food was terrible, I ordered a king salmon it was so salty I couldn't eat , the thin part was dry and burnt and the thick part was uncooked, you don't expect that from a fine dining experience and fine dining pricing.same was for my daughter's chicken very , very salty, she said she couldn't test anything else . Kids chicken nuggets were too much bread on them . My son's stake was not so bad but still I needed more quality, filled the plate with a little meat but a big chunk of onion. Patio sitting was nice but too much noise from cars outside every minute , and flys and mosquitoes were disturbing, I got bit by a mosquito,if I knew ,at least I would have chose to sit inside. Overall not a good experience i am very disappointed if it was another time I would not care that much but it was my birthday and I had high hopes to have a nice dinner in a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere . Paid 375 $ for two kids menu and 3 adults with no alcoholic beverage. I would not recommend this restaurant especially if you have an important event celebration. read more

Food was delicious and a nice presentation. We had the Milk bread, Caesar salad with asparagus, bass sashimi, branzino filet (it was dry), I prefer the whole grilled branzino, onion rings were awesome with umami powder and for dessert we had the chocolate espresso tarts with cardamom ice cream, really tasty. Our server, Miranda, was on her game, she was knowledgeable, personable and available for questions. She also took pictures for us. The ambiance was over the top! It was like being in an exquisite rainforest. It was beautiful. We will return! read more

The food + service were phenomenal, and our waiter Tim truly made our night; he gave great recommendations and paced each course perfectly so we could enjoy everything without feeling rushed The restaurant itself is beautiful & chic, filled with greenery, and even though it was busy, it still felt romantic & intimate. Standouts for us were the milk bread, salmon sashimi, tandoor carrots, skirt steak, & lobster tagliatelle! Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails, Brightwood & Roastberry Negroni were just as good! They also surprised us with a handwritten note congratulating us on our engagement, which was such a thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be back! read more

This review primarily focuses on the food - I ordered the tuna crudo, and the prime filet entree. While the flavors were delicious and fresh, I had a major issue with the cook on the steak. I ordered the filet medium rare but after about 30-40 mins of waiting I was brought a well done steak. I didn't want to be "that customer" or have to wait even longer for my food, so I just ate it without sending it back. You'd think that for the premium price you're paying, a chef would know not to cook a well done steak unless specifically asked for one? It was like eating a hockey puck. Sad experience to have for the price you pay here. Other than that the tuna crudo was delish and my friends seemed to have enjoyed their dishes (sweet potato curry//grilled branzino). The service was great and our waiter was kind! 3 stars for that - but you're probably better off making your own steak. read more

The food was delicious and the ambiance is like no other that I have experienced in town. It's so tucked away that you'd almost forget you're right on Sunset. The service was INCREDIBLY SLOW. We had an earlier reservation, and the restaurant was pretty quiet to begin with. There was a huge group of at least 12-14 who arrive after my party of 3, and they were served more quickly than us. We were celebrating my friend's birthday, so this experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. If I go back, it won't be for a long time. read more

We went to Weho to grab food and lo behold found this spot where there is actually availability on a Sunday brunch without having to rsvp. We street parked on a meter across the streets because they only had hotel valet parking available in front. We walked in and were seated right away. The brunch hours just opened and there were practically no one which was amazing. Lights are dim with clean spacious dining area. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and main dish which all came to ~$180 (18.5% gratuity is auto added to the bill) great, speedy, attentive customer service. Food was delicious but I've heard dinner menus different and more delicious like that one item: gooseberry pizza! I will most definitely be back for dinner here.

Ambiance: Dressy, Modern Art Deco Service: Great The staff was very attentive, from the host to the server. The team explained every dish in detail and communicated each course's progression. Food: Delicious The food was prepared very well. Even if some dishes didn't align with my preferred taste palate, the quality of ingredients and preparation was excellent. My recommendations: STARTERS Milk Bread: Light and airy bread you can pull apart, with tomatoes in each crevice. Tuna Tartare: Really fresh tuna served with lettuce for a healthy wrap. Mains: MAINS Steak: Very tender and juicy (order it cooked to the chef's recommendation). Branzino: A high-quality fish with a tender, non-rubbery texture. Well-seasoned, deboned, and overall a well-balanced main. SIDES Broccolini: Simple but very well cooked and complements the steak nicely. Oyster Mushrooms: Cooked to tenderness and served with a delicious green herb sauce. DESSERT Hazelnut Brownie: Rich chocolate brownie with a delicious creamy interior. Mango Rice Pudding: A refreshing coconut-based rice pudding with a nutty-tasting jam on top. TIPS Parking: Valet or street parking is available.

If you can indulge me for a minute, I want you to close your eyes. Closed? OK, now visualize arriving at your favorite boreal paradise resort. Ocho Rios? Iguassu? Sarawak? Got it? That's the feeling you get when you arrive at The Edition Hotel and its unique restaurant, Ardor. The hotel itself is grand in scale, everything oversized from the marbled driveway that draws you around to the land-of-the-giants entry. An attendant glides forward, opens your door, offers his name, asks for yours and how he can serve you today and you step out to be surrounded by black luxury rides of every description from Beemers to Maseratis -- and, they must be black, unless, of course, you are sporting a gleaming sapphire Porsche this particular evening. Once inside the marble clad main floor, the Edition spreads before you with all the comforts you expect at your resort: an inviting bar, glowing in the distance, a sweeping staircase that begs you to see what mysteries perch above, deep couches draped with oversized faux fur throws, a crackling fireplace, and a pool table -- of course! When your table is ready, you step back outside and make your way past ferns that curl out as if to grab you and guide you inside. Once the massive wooden doors open, you enter, well, LA's own special version of paradise. I don't need to describe it further -- see my photos and those of others here who have reacted the way I did, with delight. You relax immediately as you are whisked to your table and the service starts and never stops coming. It seems a team of no fewer than six smiling Ardoristas are attending to you at every juncture from cocktails (offered by a literally beaming and voluble sommeliere) to appetizers to mains to desserts and espresso. The menu is eclectic, the portions exquisite and diminutive (so you can try more dishes without feeling overwhelmed). The beauty in each presentation is the point, until ... you taste your selections. Then you know that the real point is the trouble Chef Fraser and his expert team pour into every item on one single sheet. Now, just work with me one minute more and close your eyes again (it isn't hard to picture paradise now, is it). Deep in meditation? A blaring siren, two very large vehicles honking their horns, the roar of afterburners and ear-drum splitting audio shatter your dreamscape in seconds. Uh-oh. This is the only drawback to Ardor. It sits on Sunset, cleverly disguised behind a thick wall of greenery so none on the pavement are the wiser. This is no one's bad. Just choose a seat far enough away from the Strip to enjoy the peaceful reverie of this well-heeled moment and you are truly transported for just a few hours, right in the heart of the metropolis. It is worth every single penny. read more

AVOID!! Health Hazard! My Tongue was profusely bleeding from something in the food. I would post a picture of the many bloody napkins, but I'm worried this review would get removed.

Kind of hard to find (they're inside a hotel) but we figured it out. Really beautiful restaurant on the smaller side. Dim lighting, very romantic vibe. Our server was great - attentive but not overly intrusive. We got two mocktails, two entrees, dessert and one appetizer. Like others have said, the milk bread is a must for an appetizer! It's light, fluffy Japanese inspired bread with salt and dried tomatoes. For mains, we got the skirt steak and branzino. Both were incredible - perfectly cooked, seasoned and garnished. Most high end restaurants don't include sides with main dishes and I think that's what we were missing. I'd recommend ordering 1-2 sides for 2 people to share. We got their banana foster dessert which had caramelized banana chips, marshmallow and ice cream. It was indulgent and perfect after a savory dinner. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because my drink didn't come out until I was almost done with the appetizer - not ideal but also not the worst thing. They also apologized for the wait. But nothing was comped or brought out to make up for it. Not something I'd expect anywhere else but at a fine dining restaurant where I'm paying over $200 I would expect that. Highly recommend for a nice dinner in a more intimate setting. read more
