Lots of light, flavorful seafood options with creative and fun twists to look forward to (grilled shiso? Yes please). There are also richer items (milk bread, sesame pancake as an example) Recommend: - any of the fish: coconut fritter with salmon, kampachi, halibut - steak was fantastic - salads: loved the little gems with dashi Overall, phenomenal spot with friendly and fast service.

Visited 7/17/2026 Friday evening. Reservations were easy through OpenTable. My wife and I opted for…read morethe "Discovery Menu" which consisted of 12 or so courses for $125 pp. We were seated outside. Total after drinks/fees/taxes/tips neared $400 for two. Pros: The food was thoughtful and was mostly good, with the highlights being the seafood and veggie courses. We appreciated the Asian influence on flavors and textures. Chili oil made multiple appearances across dishes. Halibut tartare, milk bread, cocktails and dessert were excellent. Cons: We asked for the outdoor propane heat lamp to be turned on. Waitstaff struggled to turn it on, though this seems universal at any establishment with these types of heat lamps. They ended up replacing the propane tank underneath, but didn't try to turn the lamp back on after. There seemed to be staff miscommunication throughout the night. We were asked multiple times if we had received certain courses yet. We didn't have a copy of the menu at that point so if we missed a course, there's a chance we wouldn't have known anyway.... The table next to us also opted for the discovery menu, and waitstaff brought out a duplicate dish to them on multiple occasions only to walk it back. Multiple dishes were meant to be shared, so you would potentially need a lot of cutlery. However, waitstaff would place up to four! sets of forks/spoons on the side of the table in advance. They would also spend time to balance the fork on top of the spoon, which of course came undone once the table moved at all. This was a little awkward and took lot of table space. This was in addition to the main cutlery placement. Food wise, a melon dish felt unbalanced flavor-wise due to extremely sweet cantaloupe (peak season!) overpowering the tajin-like broth it came with. The beef striploin course was overcooked to well done, pictures included. There were six slices total, the two pictured were representative of the rest. We opted to not send it back as we were hungry and had already waited a long time.

There was plenty of seating on the (dog friendly) patio, and the line to order food moved pretty quickly. I chose the Iced Rose Latte and Brie and Mushroom Omelette, and my partner got the Dirty Chai Latte and Fambrini's Breakfast. We also got an order of the O La La Buttermilk Pancakes to share. Both coffee drinks were excellent - strong and flavorful. We definitely ordered way too much food, but it was delicious! My omelette was basic but tasty, and the pancakes were insane. We skipped the cotton candy topping, but the lemon-custard cream and homemade whipped cream were incredible. Service was quick and seamless. Would definitely return for more!

Came by for dinner the other night with high expectations and it was rather mediocre...sadly. Most,…read moreif not all the photos on Yelp featured the previous chef. Cafe Vivant has a new chef, formerly from Oxalis, a 1 Michelin star in Brooklyn. Parking is plentiful and easy around the restaurant. Made a reservation for dinner and my table was ready upon arrival. Dining is available inside the luxurious dining room, outdoors, or at the fancy bar. Staff throughout the evening were fantastic. Started off with the dungeness crab crepe which was ok. The crab wasn't super duper fresh. The crepe was just a freshly made tortilla. Moved on to the white asparagus tempura which was unfortunately heavily salted... The tempura batter was light and the asparagus was tasty. Even the dipping sauce was tasty. The agnolotti verde was excellent. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The snow pea tips were tasty although some were quite "old." The grilled half chicken may have been the highlight of the meal. This was my first time having Heritage chicken and it was quite tasty. The chicken was grilled to perfection. The meat was very juicy and flavorful, including the breast. The skin was grilled crispy and lightly salted. Excellent. The short rib entree was decent. The short rib felt overcooked, especially after being seared on the grill. The side sauces were decent. It was interesting that none of the entrees had any side dishes, for vegetables as an example. Again, most, if not all of the photos were from the previous chef, which was different... There is no longer any mention of a pastry chef on the website which is a bummer. The desserts were lacklustre...definitely not worth the $15 for the chocolate and hazelnut. The ice cream was a huge miss as it seemed to be lacking in dairy...it felt like it was made using skim milk....yikes. ~$125/head after tax and gratuity, including a 5% employer mandates.

On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

Because of timing for other errands we came at 10:30 am and they were open on time and ready. Sitting outside or inside is amazing, outside you get the crowd and the sun. Inside you get amazing interior design. My overall feedback is this is one of the rare "fancy" Mexican places that justify the price and justification. Everything is above average in taste and execution. Brunch Tacos mole: chicken mole poblano, scrambled eggs, huitlacoche, tortillas, epazote crema, fried shallots & avocado. Perfect portioning and the salad that came with it had a fantastic dressing. I pulled some chicken out and gave it to my wife and then it was perfect, a bit too overstuff before. The mole and overall taste were quite good though. Chilaquiles: tortilla chips sautéed in chile de árbol-guajillo salsa, topped with queso fresco, cilantro crema, and an egg. My wife loved this so much it made her question every time she didn't order it before. Fried egg sandwich: two over easy eggs on house baked brioche bun, chipotle aioli, avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried shallot. Kids loved this and happily ate the leftover after. Iced Mexican Cafe: delicious iced coffee with a distinct Mexican taste. Distrito Verde: mezcal, basil, lemon, and falernum. Simple but refreshing brunch cocktail, really paired well with the mole tacos. Chips and salsa: These are not free but worth the price. Both the chips and the 2 salsa are of extremely good quality and preparation. Abnormally tasty and the kids went crazy eating it.

The jambalaya, gumbo, and mac&cheese were the items we looked forward to. They were good, but a bit saltier than I expected. I'm glad the plates were smaller because if they were normal portion I would've not wanted to finish. Nola overall was OK. We enjoyed but not that impressed.

The hostess did, and we were pleased to see more options on their summer menu since the first time we tried RH Rooftop Restaurant previously was in the winter. My mom ordered the Peach Bellini, I ordered the Pomme Royal (non-alcoholic). In my opinion this menu does have a little something for everyone, even if you're looking for something more casual or budget-friendly. They have a gorgeous selection of salads - super hydrated and happy vegetables, beautiful presentation, very refreshing - plus familiar favorites like burgers and sandwiches - all the way to your lobster and overpriced oysters. We ended up sharing the Steak Frites (medium rare), the Lobster Roll (added caviar), as well as the Blue Fin Toro Carpaccio. The steak frites really impressed me and I could see why people all around us were ordering french fries alone - they're top tier and you can tell they're fresh cut potatoes vs. frozen. Steak was perfectly seasoned and the lump crab on top was also fresh, vs. canned. I wish there was more. Lobster roll was divine, although on the smaller side, and next time we probably won't add the caviar. The caviar alone added an extra $40 to a $36 sandwich so... yeah. The carpaccio is mouthwateringly thin and served with a lighter dusting of caviar - we wanted to order another one and flagged our server down for a second order, but it never came. Like other reviewers have mentioned, service can be slow and disjointed. We were served by 3-4 different faces and although I didn't mind that, I could see how things were lost in translation. Our cloth napkins also smelled gross (when you leave them in the washer too long) which was a huge turn-off so we asked for paper napkins to wipe our mouths. Other than that, it's a real treat to watch the sunset from the outdoor patio if you're around in time with the fireplaces turned on.
