    Cocktail
    Samira S.

    Sometimes it can get crowded and annoying and difficult to go into for starters and the bouncers can be tough and difficult. I'm guessing it's probably because they deal with a lot of difficulties. Not particularly somewhere I would frequent just because this is not really my style. But when you do get it, i like their music, drinks and food.

    I have had the Doheny Room bookmarked for quite some time, so I'm glad I was finally able to check it out. My friend and I made a dinner reservation for 7pm on a Saturday night, right when the restaurant/lounge opened. We were some of the 1st patrons to arrive, so I was able to really see the space. Doheny Room has a tropical theme and lots of pink/magenta/purple lighting. The music had a nice range from classic oldies to electronic. Dinner seating is spacious around the perimeter of the main dining room downstairs with a bar in the middle. Upstairs is more lounge seating and another bar. The staff were all young and friendly - they definitely seemed relatable and truly happy to be there and connect with us! My friend and I started off with some cocktails, and I recommend the Plunkett signature vodka-based cocktail. It kind of tasted like pink lemonade! The dishes at Doheny Room are meant to be shared, so my friend and I shared a few of their popular dishes including the crispy Brussels sprouts, Greek chicken meatballs, and the vegan mango and kale sushi. We finished our meal with the baked-to-order apple tart, which is warm, flaky, and so yummy, especially with the vanilla gelato on top. Overall, we had a wonderful evening at Doheny Room! I would definitely like to return to check out late-night festivities, when they have a DJ and dancing!

    I was skeptical because of the previous reviews, but to my surprise, it was wonderful!!! They recently changed the chef and menu and everything was delicious!! Our favorite was the toro tartare!! The service was more than 5 stars!! They were quick with our drinks and food and always refilling our waters and drinks without us asking. They even changed our napkins and plates throughout our meal. The waiter was very informative about the menu too! The ambiance was cute! Great date night!

    Me and a couple of my girlfriends came here for the club part of the Doheny Room. We were blessed to slide right in because we got ahold of the promoter Ryan! Thanks to Ryan for that easy pass. The club is very small and everyone is stuck together like paper and glue. There wasn't much room to dance, walk or do anything. Other than that the music was popping and lively!

    AMBIANCE Situated in the beautiful West Hollywood. Valet parking available $10. Street parking also available but difficult. 2 story restaurant - FIRST FLOOR: a full bar centered in the middle of the room. modern decorated with beautiful art wall pieces, booths available - SECOND FLOOR: SEATING HERE STARTS AT 8PM. full bar as well up here. all booths on the second floor. LOVE THE SECOND FLOOR. wall decal is gorgeous with green palm trees. adds a wonderful lively vibe. Second floor turns into a nightlife at 10:30pm SERVICE Horrible upon entering. My best friend chose this place to celebrate the first of many of my birthday celebrations for February. We checked in with the hostess at 730pm and requested to be seated on the second floor. Second floor seating not available until 8pm so we hung out at the bar to kill time. WOMAN BARTENDER was rude AF. we were trying to catch her attention and she can tell that we were patiently staring at her waiting to order but yet she decides consciously not to pay attention to us. then she turns to the guy and says UGH CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF THESE 2. GUY BARTENDER was cool. super nice. waiting for our table, a chef decides to give us free shots through the restaurant manager "Mark". tried to conversate with Mark and he was rude too & completely blew me off. Relax, I was just being really friendly we got our bill and set it on the corner of the bar. but there was a salty blonder waitress there so my best friend moved the bill out of her way and said "oh sorry". this waitress didn't even acknowledge her and gave her the saltiest look. so my friend says OKKK ACTUALLY I'M NOT SORRY. this impolite waitress turns and says "i wasn't being rude, you guys got free shots and i'm just in my zone" then cries to her manager Mark who condones her rude behavior and gives her a hug BAHAHAHAHHAHAHA really? first off, YOU didn't give us free shots and second of all, what does our free shots have anything to do with your offensively impolite, ill-mannered behavior? why don't you go and get more hugs to assure yourself of your selfworth. this girl does not have any business in customer service. why is she a server. we let it go because i wasn't trying to kill my birthday night We get seated exactly at 8pm by a super nice hostess Ella who turned our night around with a breath of fresh air of nothing but kindness and smiling face. Our server Kristen was the shit. She was so attentive and so friendly. Tipped her way beyond what we were supposed to because i just loved that she made our night so much better. FOOD: so bomb. too bad i won't return VEGETABLE SUSHI - $12 AVOCADO & BEET: Sprouts, Shiso, Soy Reduction, Crispy Wild Rice -- WOWOWOWOWOW. this was a different take on sushi and so surprisingly delicious. $16 ALL AMERICAN SLIDER: Mustard Onions, Aged Cheddar, Special Sauce. mmm, NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS. i can do without this next time ******* my absolute favorite ******* $22 LOBSTER POUTINE: Served on a hot skillet with Cheese Curd, Gravy Sauce, Poached Lobster. BEYOND AMAZING. so speechless. the fries were cooked the right way, my lobster so tender and the gravy boasts with flavor. *MUST HAVE!!!! the service on the first floor needs an attitude check but this place is beautiful and the food was a great surprise.

    Love the food and ambiance. Went upstairs to dance when it opened up and it was very fun. Will definitely return.

    Is there a cover fee for friday nights and dress code for the club?

    No, there is no cover. Doorman discretion or table service only! Fashionable attire. Contact zaki.dean@sbe.com for details

    What is the music vibe on Friday/Saturday?

    Very upbeat and a mix of music by the DJ. Dancing starts at 10:30pm which is quiet at first and towards the end of he night it's packed.

    Is there a guest list for Saturday nights?

    Hii Is there a guest list for Wednesdays? Me +3 please!

    Your best bet is to call and make a reservation for a table (whether it's for dinner or bottle service, etc)!

    18+ or 21+?

    I think it's open to all for dinner service, but for late-night it's 21+ because it becomes more of a club/lounge atmosphere with a bouncer, DJ, bottle service, etc. I highly recommend it for dinner though!!

    The Hideaway had been popping up on my Instagram feed long enough that eventually I took the hint…read more My friend and I went for dinner, partly because I'd been wanting to try it and partly because apparently the algorithm knows how easily I can be persuaded by tacos and cocktails. The restaurant really does feel tucked away once you get inside the Rodeo Collection. The space has warm lighting, colorful details, and a playful Mexican-inspired look that makes dinner feel fun without becoming over-the-top. We started with guacamole and empanadas before moving on to tacos. The Baja Style Fish Tacos were a favorite, with crisp fish, fresh slaw, and chipotle aioli. I also had the Grilled Prime New York Taco, and the steak was cooked really well and stayed tender. With the caramelized onion, guacamole, and salsa fresca, it had plenty of flavor without feeling overloaded. Between those two, we were already very happy with our taco choices, and there wasn't much left on the table by the end. The cocktails were excellent. My friend's drink came served in this ceramic donkey, and we immediately became a little obsessed with it. We loved it enough that the donkey somehow ended up making an appearance in half our photos by the end of the night. Our server checked in throughout dinner and gave us plenty of time to enjoy everything without ever making us feel rushed. We finished with churros, which arrived with dipping sauces and were a very easy decision once dessert was mentioned. They also offer valet, which is especially convenient for a Rodeo Drive dinner. I went in because Instagram kept putting The Hideaway in front of me. For once, my feed was useful. I'd happily come back for the tacos, cocktails, and another round with that donkey making its inevitable cameo.

There were four of us, and the restaurant wasn't very busy,there were plenty of open tables and what seemed like a good amount of staff. When we were first seated, we were given the regular menu. Once we mentioned that we were there for the Girls Brunch, it honestly felt like the demeanor toward our table changed. The service was extremely slow. We waited around 30 minutes between some of the food items, our drinks were forgotten, and we were rarely checked on throughout the meal. I'm usually pretty understanding when restaurants are busy or short-staffed, but that didn't seem to be the case during our visit. Between the long waits, forgotten drinks, and lack of even a simple "How is everything?", the experience became frustrating, especially since we were there to celebrate birthdays. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were mediocre as well, so the overall experience just didn't feel worth the time. I really wanted to enjoy this place and the Girls Brunch seemed like such a fun idea, but based on our experience, I unfortunately won't be returning.

Safe to say I will never come back to this location or even South Beverly grill. Not to mention it's 90 degrees outside at 3pm. As a foodie who dined at many Michelin restaurants (you can check my credentials on this app) I.E providence , ossteria mozza, le berniden, citrin, nozawa bar. But at Honor bar we are denied a drink cause my Latina brown skinned girlfriend was showing shoulder. And for context it's not like she was wearing LA casual sports wear. She was in designer capris and a top with expensive jewelry on (I am a jeweler by trade) I am appalled. Here's the kicker. I'm Jewish and they asked me to take my hat off when I can not for religious purposes. This is discrimination on another level.

    The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

Reservations are a must. Who doesn't love a Speakeasy and the Pickle Barrel entrance at the Tail 'o the Pup with the buzzer in the barrel was a cute touch. Once you're allowed entry, you are immediately transported to another world via beautifully decorated stairs to the check-in desk. The decor has got to be one of the best looking tiki bars out there. Wow, they hit this out of the park. The drink and food menu is fantastic in a wood covered binder. Naturally, we ordered the standard Mai Tai to start. The Lucky Tiki's take on the traditional 1944 Trader Vic Mai Tai is fantastic. Each Mai Tai comes with the Lucky Tiki swizzle stick and I happily kept the 3 we ordered to display in our home Tiki Bar. The wife ordered a second one while I took the waitress' recommendation and ordered The Maverick ("A Renegade of Rums, Cinnamon Syrup, White Grapefruit & Lime Juice, A Bold, Fiery, and Unapologetically Wild Ride, This Cocktail is for Those Who Live By Their Own Rules")...and coincidentally, this applies to me perfectly. The Maverick was awesome and came complete with a show of fire. We also ordered the Potstickers which were fantastic, especially dipped in their garlic teriyaki sauce. Wow! I wished we lived closer because I would hit this place A LOT. TIKI DAVE highly highly highly recommends THE LUCKY TIKI! I will be uploading video to my YouTube channel soon!

We came to Matū for the Dinner for Two, and everything we were served was impeccable. The seasoning was spot on, the salt level was perfect, and every cut of meat was cooked beautifully. I'm a big fan of my steak on the rarer side, and Matū absolutely delivered. The braised beef cheek was probably the highlight of the night for me. It was unbelievably tender, rich, and one of the most memorable bites of the meal. After finishing the Dinner for Two, which really showcased the quality of the meat, we decided to split a cheesesteak since "that's what they're known for." When it arrived, it looked incredible. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for me. The meat tasted oddly oily. I'm not sure if it was the cut, the preparation, or even the cheese, but it came across as heavy and greasy compared to the beautifully simple, clean flavors of the steak dinner. It was also underseasoned, and I found myself tasting the sesame seeds on the bread more than the filling itself. The chips were fresh and crunchy at first, but they lost their texture surprisingly quickly, so eat those immediately. Overall, I absolutely loved the steaks, sides, and cocktails, and I'll happily be back for those. But as for the cheesesteak? Once was more than enough.

    Where do all the locals go? Well, the Bar Next Door is a great place! Nice, clean and…read morefriendly... Their craft cocktail menu is extensive, interesting and delicious. The restrooms are clean and cute Parking is slim to none! What do you expect? It's on the Sunset Strip. I can't speak to the food as we stopped in for a quick beverage before heading down the road for our dinner... But what they were serving to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. It's small. Grab a seat at the bar (which is really about it...) and start your journey to the craft cocktails with one of their friendly staff and bartenders. Be there or be square

    The whole mythology of this place being a "neighborhood gem" is officially dead. Whatever charm it…read moreonce had has completely evaporated. What's left is a joyless little room with indifferent management and service that can feel actively hostile. It can get very crowded, but... The energy is just off. It no longer feels warm or welcoming, and the type of crowd it attracts now can make the cramped space feel actually menacing. The staff also becomes strangely abrasive and aloof. Especially the younger male bartender who works on Fridays. I would never go again. Even trying to order another drink somehow feels like you're inconveniencing them. It's genuinely sad how they've managed to ruin what used to be a good thing. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this place when you could go to Cecconi's, the Tower Bar, Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis, Jones Hollywood, Laurel Hardware, Ysabel, the Roger Room, On the Rox, or Mic's instead. The name a few! Any one of them will give you a better room, a better atmosphere, and a much better evening. TBH, I would rather endure the mechanical-bull chaos of Saddle Ranch than spend another night dealing with the bizarre vibe here. That alone should tell you everything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
