    Food, service, ambiance were all on point. As a guest staying at the hotel, this was a convenient, relaxing, and delicious treat. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top quality, clean, Peruvian cuisine. Try the skewers, you'll thank me later.

    Delicious cider at Cabra LA
    Manfred S.

    Executive summary: amazing. This Peruvian inspired restaurant on top of the Hoxton hotel was the best surprise at the end of our California wine tour, and not because of wine. Crispy Pork Shank was amazing at night, and in the Picknick doggie bag the next day. We should have gone lighter on the other dishes, but no regrets. Bass Ceviche, quinoa & beet salad, and crispy broccoli were a wonderful combo. After wine tasting all week, Julian harvest cider and pisco sour made helped great palate cleansing. The beautiful rooftop location and wonderful service made us repeat offenders on our second night at the Hoxton.

    I've had these photos sitting in my camera roll for quite some time, and I kept telling myself, "I'll leave a review soon." When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

    This place was a surprise dinner spot for a special day, and it turned out to be such a great experience! We got seated on the rooftop next to a little pool since there was a big group inside, but honestly, I loved it--amazing views up there. We ordered at the bar and they brought everything out to us. I had the wood-fired skirt steak and the Jalea Mixta--both were so flavorful and just hit the spot. It was a beautiful night overall. I'd definitely recommend this place for special dinners. Try going around golden hour--you'll get gorgeous photos and then enjoy the city lights after the sun goes down.

    On the rooftop of The Hoxton is this wonderful Peruvian restaurant. Their indoor outdoor seating is split with the beautiful pool deck offering beautiful views of DTLA city scape. We made reservations and were promptly seated. You can tell it gets more loud and lively longer into the night. Plates are tapas styled and filled with so much flavor. Every dish was incredible. Wood fired skirt steak was our favorite along with the chicken skewers. Something in the marinade and sauce that gave it a kick. Looking forward to coming once summer weather hits to fully take advantage of those views.

    Great view of downtown LA! Their dishes are tapa style and truly flavorful, The salmon ceviche was great. The steak skewers were yummy, the empanadas were a bit dry and too much dough. They had this amazing dish of cauliflower (forgot the name) but wooow! The most Flavorful veggie plate i ever had. Highly suggested if you are around DTLA.

    Really enjoyed it. Went here to celebrate my birthday and had a lovely time. The food was really original, with interesting twist on Peruvian food. Our server, Courtney, was amazing. She asked immediately if we had any dietary restrictions and when we informed her one of our party had a gluten allergy, she brought out a menu that she had specifically marked. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to ensure the items we ordered were gluten free. We had the ceviche, the tiradito, the choclo, the yuca fries, the pork shank, and cauliflower and everything was delicious. I was offered a yummy complementary dessert and the view was pretty great too.

    My favorite food experience in 2025 thus far! I spent my birthday here with a total of 8 people. It was such an enjoyable experience, their service was accomodating, fast and friendly. The food was phenomenal that it was hard to pick favorites. The semi-outdoor seating was warm enough for a winter night. Ambiance is warm lighting with hip decor. The food is tapa style so our table ordered a couple. The crowd favorite and I think are a must were the Bass Ceviche and Tuna&Tots. I think you can never go wrong especially the dishes are by Chef Stephanie Izard. The dishes are more Peruvian inspired but as someone who loves Peruvian food, I enjoyed them. The Papa Huancaina paired so well with dishes, just the right amount of crisp with the potatoes and the sauce wasn't too overwhelming. There is valet parking at the Hoxton but also plenty of parking garages around. I can't wait to come back! Note: if you have a party of 9 or more, you're required to do their pre-fixe.

    Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips of the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

    Why was I so late to the party? Came here to hang out and try a "new spot" and soooooo do recommend! Servers were very attentive and quick with food and drinks. Ambiance is great as well, sitting on the rooftop of the The Hoxton hotel. If you want to impress make reservations here for an evening of great food and drinks with an amazing view. Side note, all menu items are Peruvian influenced and if you have any good allergies let your server know!! Otherwise, sit down, relax and enjoy!

    Dessert was delicious

    Buddy of mine suggested we come here for rooftop view, food and drinks and loved it! What a beautiful venue and loved being on the rooftop. Food was delicious, staff were very accommodating and the catch up with friends was wonderful! Definitely come hang out here when in town, this hotel rooftop is great!

    Chicken Thigh Skewers - 10/10 Juicy and tender chicken (3 1" pieces of chicken per skewer) with a yummy peanut sauce
    Shinesh P.

    Food: Chicken Thigh Skewers - 10/10 Juicy and tender chicken (three 1" pieces of chicken per skewer) with a yummy peanut sauce Crab Causa - well balanced textures 8/10 Wood Fired Skirt Steak 7/10 steak (about four 2" pieces) was nice and juicy but there was just too much sauce Yuca Fries - 10/10 must try crunchy steak cut fries w/ chorizo Papas Huancaina - 10/10 must try also cruchy smashed potato with cheese portion size: It is not shareable. Please get your own entree or a bunch to share. The potatoes are somewhat shareable. service: Our waiter was nice. the overall service was really really slow and uncoordinated. We had like entrees come out and then all the sides showed up. So if you can as you put in your order just ask for things to come out in pairs entree + side unless you like eating just your protein. Id say service was 3.5/5 Ambiance: great for any group. They have good vibes flowing with chill music and mood lighting. It does have a reclining pergola. So if you get chilly bring a light jack or pashmina. Parking: Valet, street or garages nearby. Payment: apple pay and card are both options. not sure about cash

    An absolute gem! When you walk in, you'll need to go to the elevator and hit R for the rooftop. They have an outdoor area and an indoor area. We opted for indoor since it was cold but still beautiful since it is enclosed by glass. Everything we ordered was delicious. It is made to share so the server recommends 3-4 dishes for 2 people - the perfect amount. She was great. My absolute favorite was the chorizo and queso dip which came with a pita. So simple sounding but the texture was phenomenal. It's like they whipped air into the cheese and the chorizo and pistachios gave it a nice balance of texture. The salmon ceviche was also delicious - very flavorful, fresh, and a zing in the mouth. Second favorite. The seabass is third - cooked well and loved the crunchy quinoa but it was very salty. The empanada was my least favorite but I appreciated there was a lot of meat in the puff pastry. For dessert, Sticky toffee pudding was good but lacked toffee - needs more! I never really come to DTLA so I'm glad this is where we ended up. A favorite spot in the area for sure.

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    Yes they do. If I'm not mistaken I believe it's about $40.

The cutest little hole in the wall, but still has plenty of seating. I noticed the sign saying they've been open for 45 years which really caught my eye. I walked past it 3 separate times while checking out different stores and each time I saw new customers outside, it was never empty, I knew I had to try. 10/10 service! I was looking at the pictures on the wall and not even 30 seconds later, Ozzie (sorry if i spelled it wrong) came out handed me a menu and greeted me. A couple minutes later he came back to take my order, but I am indecisive and needed more time and he was super kind and patient! I ended up sitting at the bar and ordering to go when the owner Juan came out we started conversing. He asked me how I found the place and if it was my first time and he was so kind and personable. I love when owners or managers have this warm energy to them! I paid $13 cash for three tacos (al pastor) which I'll be honest is a little more than I would normally spend on tacos, but they were a really good size, double tortilla, and delicious, probably one of the best i've had in a long time and the service was so nice that I would go back and do it again. The salsa is super hot lol be careful i'm a huge fan of Peruvian food and it's hard to find good Peruvian food in this area so I will definitely be back to try the ceviche!!

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Pollo de Saltado, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Pollo de Saltado. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again.

The portions were quite generous making the food great for sharing. They also provide complimentary toasted bread and great dipping sauces. What I tried: - Fried yucca - a classic and great way to start the meal - Arroz chaufa de mariscos - shrimp, squid, mussels and fried rice. This was yummy and easily large enough to share. However, the rice was a bit too much on the salty side - Tallarin saltado de carne - sirloin beef strips with spaghetti and sautéed with onions and tomatoes. So delicious, but I wish they were a bit more generous with the amount of beef given the price - Causa de Cameron acevichada - smashed potatoes with shrimp ceviche. Only available on Fridays/weekends. Beautiful presentation and tasted as good as it looked Overall a great spot to try Peruvian food in a comfortable, casual setting.

I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and gave me the kind of authentic Latin food vibes that I love. The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.
