Food, service, ambience was all perfect came for breakfast and would return for special occasions only.

Beautiful view. The food was presented beautifully. A little pricey for the portions but I didn't expect anything less from a rooftop hotel. Got the vegan charcuterie - fresh ingredients, but a pass next time. Salad was generously portioned. Also, got the seafood stew. Come here for the views, but don't come super hungry! read more

I hate hate hate to do this! And as you can see on my score board I think this may be my first two star. Originally tried to get to the rooftop but was booked, understood. We decided to dine in this new fabulous decor of caldo verde. As we walked in plenty of spaces were available, we decided to sit at the bar. Ambiance: wonderful, beautiful, and the bar fair enough we got here early when they opened but the set was pretty dope ( sorry couldn't find other words). Dim lights, very romantic. Good for a date or with friends. Food: ehhh, how do I say this. Ordered the campechana, soooooo disappointed. It was super fishy and no taste. It certainly needs a lot more spices added to it. Then the butt cheeks, okay I don't know how to explain this but I got the end of the raddish. So they're clearly supposed to toss the end I learned this when I was 4... lastly the chicken, it's honestly your safest bet! And ok.. for the price. Service: EXCELLENT! Love everyone here, very attentive Overall: over priced food, need new chef (harsh, I'm sorry), service effn excellent! read more

When I say my server knew everything about the menu, she knew EVERYTHING about the menu. The decor & vibe in this restaurant is unlike any other. Each dish was a burst of unique flavor. You can tell there was time put into the meal & presentation. I was a little hesitant to eat here but was amazed with everything I tried! read more

I had an AMAZING experience at LA Proper. The hotel staff was so helpful when I had an issue with my room. They switched our rooms right away and we had no more issues. We then went to Cabrillo restaurant, which was also an amazing experience. The host, Rogelio, made sure that our anniversary was great. He treated us so well and ensured we had a great dinner. Our server was also so sweet and made sure that our meals came out very quickly and everything was perfect. I cannot wait to come back to this hotel! read more

Tried this restaurant during dine la.. and was just blown away. I loved it. Every dish was great. Service was fantastic. Atmosphere was gorgeous. We had the chopped salad, lamb, ceviche, shrimp The star of the night was the shrimp dish. Wow. One of the best things I have ever eaten. Swoon! , .. the ceviche portion was extremely small,.. but the flavor was great. There was one dessert for dine la .. a mouse popsicle... it was the only miss as it had zero flavor. That was my only criticism for the whole night. Even the ice tea was fantastic :) read more

I always liked AOC so when I heard Susan Goin is opening this new place I was obliged to check it out. The restaurant is at the ground floor of the Proper Hotel and the ambiance reminded me of a Sevilla cerveceria. The food is a combination of Portuguese and Spanish with a few other regional dishes mixed in. They also have fairly decent lists of cocktails and wines. We enjoyed pretty much all of the dishes we ordered. The Beef Cheeks was served on top of a sort of guacamole and was very tender and delicious. The Portuguese Chopped Salad was quite refreshing. The Piri Piri Chicken, a South African dish, was one of the larger dishes with a pile of fries and arugula. The seasoning was on point and the chicken was juicy and tender. The Caldo Verde was a sort of a mix of bouillabaisse and cioppino. The broth has a hint of saffron and is a fairly hearty dish served with grilled rustic bread. It was very tasty and we would've preferred a little more broth. The Chanterelles and Maitakes (aka hen of the woods) served over polenta was decent; but, I'd expect a little more pronounced flavors from the chanterelles. The desserts were just ok. The Banana Tarte Tatin looked beautiful with perfectly sliced and laid out bananas. The crust seemed a little too dense and hard as opposed to the typical puff pastry of a tarte tatin. The banana also lacked the sweetness for a proper finale to a meal. Perhaps a little more caramelized sugar or a drizzle of dulce de leche would have helped. The Pear Serradura was also just ok. Not much flavor in the poached (I think) pear and the Chantilly. Also a little over priced for a simple parfait. Overall a nice meal that lived up to Susan Goin's reputation. read more

If you're looking for a traditional Portuguese restaurant, this isn't it. Try Natas in Sherman Oaks. If you're looking for an elevated upscale dining experience with deliciously crafted dishes that may have Portuguese-inspired flavors-- this is it! What I mean is that if you're expecting a potato purée kale soup (Caldo verde) & a Nata pastry for dessert, that's not served here. Just want the expectation to be clear! Every single thing we got was delicious. The steak had like these soggy croutons in it reminded me of like a very traditional Portuguese soup. Maybe inspired? The cheeseboard we got was actually pretty traditional and had all the Portuguese flavors on point. They had a "torta mista" which our server explained to us as the most popular sandwich in Portugal. I had personally never heard of it so I did some research when I got home & sure enough -- pretty popular! Next time I'll have to try that. Beautiful experience. Obrigado read more

Located at the base of the Proper Hotel this Portuguese restaurant is beautifully designed on the inside although overpriced. Our server Emily did a great job tonight and was very prompt. At the end of the meal we wanted to go up to the roof to view the sunset, being that it was a date and we're locals, but we were told we were not allowed to do so. "It is fully booked tonight" is what we were told although there were only a handful of other diners around us nor did we see any others going up the elevators during our meal. Seems ridiculous to not allow people up briefly after spending $175 for two people. Tonight they had a prefix menu only for $65 per person with a set of first and third courses and for the main the choice between salmon or duck. The flavors were very good although the portions were pretty small especially for the amount they are charging. 1st course was the Red Pepper Campechana, which was delicious but was gone in 4-5 bites. I would have doubled the portion for the price. For my main course I chose the Salmon, which was also very good flavor wise, however I prefer my salmon to be crispier. The inside of this one was a bit cold to the touch. Finally for dessert came the Financier which was a fair portion with great flavors, but based on how much restaurants make for desserts and drinks I was sad to see they chose the make this the larger portion and not the starter or the main dish. Overall a nice meal aside from the portion size and cost. This is why I don't usually like to do prefix menus at non Michelin restaurants because I prefer to choose what I want to eat versus going with the suggestions. read more

The ambiance/decor is amazing. Love how it feels like you're in a desert type of place. You can tell a lot of thought and details went into it. There isn't a big selection of dishes when it comes to the menu. Some like it otherwise don't, for me it wasn't here or there just as long as the dishes taste delicious. Came here for lunch with coworkers and ordered the Lemon Chicken Paillard, that came with a side of fries and salad. While it was a beautiful presentation the chicken lacked taste..hugely. Lack of lemon taste and lack of taste, in general. It definitely wasn't something that wowed me. Our server barely came to check on us and to see if we possibly needed refills. Which was surprising considering that they weren't even busy. I wouldn't scratch this place out entirely just yet as I'd like to go back and try a different place. read more

The ambiance is unique as there are many plants in the restaurant, adding a sense of nature and life to the experience. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive, making you feel a valued guest. The food is amazing. Even French Toast Casserole, a pretty common item, is different from others. The toast is crispy, unlike the soaked toast in many other places. All the topping on the toast is presentable, fresh and yummy. The juice with ginger is also delicious and healthy. read more

Came here for a business breakfast with my boss today and was pleasantly surprised by the carnitas and sweet potato hash dish! Super delicious and really bummed I didn't finish it all (nor was I able to box it up to enjoy later wah). Didn't expect the chimichurri sauce on it but it was the perfect condiment, along with a dollop of sour cream (note: dish menu description doesn't mention these ingredients and the "avocado" is more like guacamole). As a whole, breakfast menu is really generic tbh despite the name & descriptions. I'd surely come here again, as the atmosphere is open and lovely and my office is a few blocks away. Service was friendly and attentive, and dishes came out quick (boss had the avocado toast which was very full on). Areas of improvement: the coffee was just aiight, not sure of the beans. Didn't like the container the creamer came in bc it dripped all over when pouring. WiFi wasn't connecting and I didn't have time to ask staff, so just used my personal hotspot from my mobile. read more

This place needs to change its name. I went here with my husband about 2 yrs ago hoping to get a little taste of home for him as he's from Portugal, but sadly there was NOTHING Portuguese on the menu. - no caldo verde (I see it's been added since my last visit) - no Port wine or vinho verde - no caipirinhas or caipiroskas, there wasn't even caçhaca available in their bar - no bifanas - no linguiça - no tempura - no bacalhau - no picanha Not trying to be the Portuguese police here but these are all staples to the Portuguese culture that you'd expect at least some of when the place is named after a popular Portuguese dish. We had asked our bartender if the owner or chef was Portuguese, and he told us she isn't but she spent time in Portugal and wanted to infused it to the restaurant. It honestly made me question how much time was really spent in Portugal. We ended up having a round of drinks (I don't recall which ones) along with bread and olives, they were very delicious. Ultimately, the Portuguese culture is very small in LA, and very unfamiliar to many locals. I worry people must walk out thinking they ate Portuguese food when it wasn't. It would have been nice for this place to carry its name with a little more authenticity, to name the place Caldo Verde and say it's Portuguese inspired just feels misleading. We're considering giving it another try since we found out the menu changed and hopefully share a better experience. read more

Went on a Friday morning and our server Jesus was fabulous! His fresh juice recommendations and menu guidance were so helpful. I'll definitely come here again. read more

Gah I hate to do this, but this is easily the worst service I've had in LA. Several tables around us were so frustrated that they up and left. We were so excited to visit Caldo as we heard great things, so we booked a reservation to go enjoy before heading to the Grammys. It took almost 30 minutes just to get water and another 20 to get drinks. By the time a waiter actually got to us to take our order, he told us it was the kitchen's last call. Neat :) When we got our food, it was pretty good! The açaí bowl is very much indeed frozen and takes a while to dethaw, so keep this in mind. I know brunch can get busy + understaffed, but there were only a few other parties in the restaurant (lots of empty tables) and several servers. This place has a beautiful ambiance, but it's not worth it at all for $25 cocktails that are lukewarm by the time it gets to you. read more

Maybe their breakfast service is better but their dinner service is wack. Restaurant was not busy for a Saturday night reservation which should have been the first red flag. The food is way overpriced for portion size and drinks take forever to come out. Went there with a party of 6 and ordered the recommended amount of food. Ordered the stone fruit salad, mushroom skewers, two orders of the ricotta dumplings, the chicken entree, and the steak entree. The mushroom app is literally four small skewers with two pieces of mushroom on each. The dumplings are three per order. The stone fruit salad comes on a small appetizer plate and you get maybe half a plum and half a peach. The chicken entree was only half of a chicken and maybe two potatoes worth of French fries. That should not cost $50. The steak was a 16 oz rib eye with a couple strips of bacon on top and one medium baked potato. That should also not cost $100. Food actually had good flavor and tasted fine but after the auto grat of 20%, my total bill was $160. I literally had a couple pieces of lettuce and two slices of stone fruit, one dumpling, one mushroom from one skewer, one piece of chicken, a handful of fries, and one slice of steak. Also had one cocktail. What a rip off. And I left hungry. As a cherry on top, I had a question on my bill and called them twice, left a message with the front desk, and followed up with an email, and no response. Management team is nonexistent. No wonder the restaurant is an epic mess. I'm never going back. read more

I manually take one star away only because of the Piri Piri Chicken.... But I highly recommend their beverages! Including cocktails and the espresso is not on the menu~ Love the friendly waitress and waiter who helped us on ordering. The ambience is perfect to me, I went there twice--the first time for dinner and the second time is for brunch. They light up candles for nights and the windows are perfectly let the sunlight shine through before sunset. read more

Popped in to eat. Food is just ok. Expensive for what you get. There are better places in l.a.

Enjoyable experience! We are staying at the hotel connected to this restaurant. It's a Portuguese style restaurant. We got breakfast and there was plenty of seating on a Monday morning. We got these items: SMOKED SALMON alex's potato cakes, avocado, lemon crème fraîche SCHANER FARMS' EGG OMELET dungeness crab, piquillo, scallion crème fraîche BERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE blueberry, strawberry, banana, oatmilk, flax seeds And an oat milk latte and a black tea. The smoked salmon had no cream cheese and was like a deconstructed smoked salmon item. It was healthy but a tad salty. The egg omelet was delicious! It comes with a nice side salad and there is a generous amount of crab. The smoothie was just right and not overly sweet. The oat milk gives it a nice creaminess. The latte was perfect and didn't need any added sugar. Our server Carlitos was attentive and very nice and friendly. He worked very hard as did the other staff. The food came out quickly. The ambience is nice and it can get a little loud when it fills up. We enjoyed are overall experience. read more

My view at breakfast. I loved the restaurant and the Vea hotel where it's located. It felt like I was in another country on a luxury vacation. The breakfast was solid with great service. I also had a late bite there, the wagyu skewers and French fries were delightful. If you are local its a perfect staycation or coming from afar. Unfortunately I was there on business, so I didn't get a chance to enjoy all the amenities. Great restaurant and hotel! read more

Just over a week ago, I dined at Caldo Verde with my husband and a friend, as we were staying in town for a music festival. We had read an article about the hot restaurants in LA and chose one that was walking distance from out hotel. Caldo Verde is located in the Proper Hotel, which is beautifully decorated, as is the restaurant itself. Unfortunately, we had thought we could get rooftop seating, but found that the hotel has a different restaurant on the rooftop. We did get to choose indoor or outdoor, and decided on the sidewalk seating option so that we could people watch in the beautiful evening weather. The menu is shared plate style. Our meal started on a positive note as we began with some delicious cocktails. I chose the Miss Americana and my husband chose the Highway to Mars, both great choices. My friend enjoyed her cocktail as well. We chose several plates to share. We had the fried sunchokes, campechana, bread and butter, some sort of salad, and the piri piri chicken. For the most part, I enjoyed the food. The campechana was excellent. The chicken was a large portion and very tasty as well. My major complaint was the service. It started out fine. Later, as we were about to be served the chicken, my husband and I each wanted to get a glass of the Portuguese wine. Our server brought a taste to see if we liked it, but then never came back. Our chicken came and I had no water or wine. Finally, someone came by and I asked for water. Our server brought the wine as we had already finished our main dish. This is a pricey restaurant and each glass of wine cost $26. There was no reason we should have had to have our main dish without water or wine. At the end of the meal our server came by to ask if we wanted dessert and when we declined, he made some sort of smart ass comment about knowing we wouldn't be ordering dessert. All in all this is a lovely place, but somewhere in there, our server decided not to provide service. Truthfully, with all the restaurants we have to choose from in that area, I would not return. read more

One word: Delicious! This is now for me one of the top five restaurants in Los Angeles! Everything was on point: Decor and ambiance : lovely, casual, elegant ( the lighting could be improved a little though). Service: impeccable. Food: Delicious (and we tried a lot of dishes!): (Disclaimer : We were 6 ) Appetizers -BEET SALAD WITH BURRATA AND BEET PURÉE: best appetizer and must get if it is still on the menu. -YELLOW TOMATO CAMPECHANA with shrimp, crab, avocado, and halibut: It's the Portuguese version of ceviche. It was fresh and playful: Must get. -SMALL PLATE OF SALTY FAVORITES with iberico ham, spanish anchovies and cracked aloreña olives -THREE PORTUGUESE CHEESES with almonds, walnuts,dice de tomatoes : Skip as too filling -PORTUGUESE CHOPPED SALAD with broad beans, potato, leeks, black olives, and chorizo: fresh , playful, unusual, must get! Mains: -PRAWNS with heirloom garlic, arbol chile, and salsa verde: Must get. -BLUENOSE FISH and FIDEOS with soffrito, spring onion, and green garlic aïoli. The fideos (version of thin cut spaghetti ) because of the aioli had a slightly delightful sweet taste. The flavors were dancing in the mouth :BEST DISH! -DUCK BREAST with pea tendrils. The pieces were cut too thick; Too bad as the flavor were the cooking were perfectly pink. Skip unless you are a duck fanatic. -FLAT IRON STEAK: good but not extraordinary: will skip next time, -PIRI PIRI CHICKEN with french fries, arugula and grilled lemon, fun and tasty: Will order again ! -CALDO VERDE:,Traditional Portuguese soup served with local rock crab, grilled linguiça, kale, mussels,and potato. I loved it. The balance of flavors was on point and it was served generously. At $72, it is not inexpensive but can be easily shared by two people at least. Second best dish of the night : Must get! -Side of FRIED SUNCHOKES or Jerusalem artichokes: They had a distinct starchy taste and like a potato, the skin was crispy and the inside tender, sweet, and nutty.Must get! We finished with a sampler of deserts that were all very good: -BOCA NEGRA with coffee caramel, bourbon and caramel ice cream -PISTACHIO FLAN with cherries and crème fraîche: My favorite!! -TORTA DE MORANGO with strawberries from the Tamai farms ( the best produce in Southern Cal) served with almond cream and brown butter ice cream. I ordered a white wine which I highly recommend Zarate :( Spanish Albariño ) that accompanied the dinner perfectly ! Will come back soon for sure , drinks at the rooftop Cara cara first! read more

I was with my dog so I didn't want to walk around the restaurant too much (although this hotel is pet friendly!). But the building looked very cute. I couldn't get the style of it but I'd say something like Modern, Vintage, Moroccan, Mexican and Desert vibes. hahaha I had Piri Piri Avocado Toast & Gazpacho. All the ingredients were very fresh! Especially the cherry tomatoes. They were very sweet. Now I can agree that tomatoes are fruits Burrata was also fresh and very soft. I often complain about salty food when I eat out but I could have used some salt for this toast. Other than that, it was great. This was a DineLA Lunch menu which was $25. The bill with a 20% gratuity was $38 so I left $40 but it had some fees included. I don't mind paying them but I hope the funds really go to the employees. read more

The breakfast options are super flavorful, good portions, and yummy options! Smoked Salmon with crème fraîche and potato latkes was so good, and didn't feel too heavy.

No stars if I could. If you're a person of color, just don't even expect the same service that they give to the white customers. A server spilled wine at the table behind us and it splattered on my boyfriends shirt, not only did she not even apologize even though I saw that she notice it backsplashed on us. For the other table I saw her so apologetic but to us not even a single sorry. The manager even had the audacity to tell us to wipe it w club soda ourselves (on his back) even tho I saw w my own eyes that she wiped it herself off the white table behind us. Not that I'm asking for her to wipe it off for us but the difference in treatment is just so insane. On top of that, the server never even apologized even after we told her, very nicely too, because we didn't want to make a scene. She just had her manager pick up her bullshit for her. Fuck this establishment, but I guess if you're white then it's fine. read more

Beautiful ambiance and great customer service. They do offer valet or you can find street parking if you're lucky. They do have a speakeasy section, not sure on the deets.

The PiriPiri Chicken was absolutely delicious, comes with a large bowl of fries.,The Steak was a bit over sauced and not as rare as I would have liked, looked messy..least favorite dish. Patatas Bravas was a great side dish with the Farro Salad.. The Ceviche was to die for, extra tangy..
