    I used to visit the Hard Rocks a lot. I was excited to go again. While the memorabilia is still really fun, the overall experience was mediocre. Host/Hostess were great, warm & welcoming. Our server was at best inconsistent. Cocktails were terrible - we got an old fashioned that was sweet and watered down. We ordered the Nachos which were a 3 as was most of the food we ordered. The crispy chicken sliders were delicious and the stand out.

    We went and seen fluffy comedy show and saw that this place was next door . Usually I would stay away from a big chain restaurants like this but it was so hot and it was very convenient for us to eat here . We got sat down immediately and looked over the menu . The waitress was very nice and attentive, I wish I could remember her name . I ended up getting the sampler and my wife got Diablo burger with gluten free bun. We were both very pleasantly surprised with the taste of the food . We weren't expecting great food , but honestly she loved her meal and my sampler was pretty darn good . We may bring our daughter here on next visit to area .

    I am a fan of this Hard Rock Cafe location. Yes, it is definitely a tourist attraction, but for those guests who enjoy music, music memorabilia, and good food, this place is for you. The restaurant is HUGE, and the music memorabilia on display throughout is AMAZING. There is soooo much to see in terms of music-related memorabilia on display. The service offered by EVERY single employee is incredible!! Employees are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, hard-working and go out of their way to ensure guests have a positive, memorable experience. The menu is extensive, and every item my group of 25+ tried during two separate visits was LOVED. Meals were perfectly prepared, delicious, fresh and the portions were HUGE. Thank you HRC for a fun and memorable dining experience.

    We were visiting Hollywood, California, from the East Coast to check out the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Since we weren't sure where to eat, we decided to stop at the Hard Rock Cafe. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered burgers and fries, and I also tried the wings. The wings had good flavor but were a little on the dry side. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and enjoyed our visit.

    I mean. It's a tourist trap in the center of tourist central Hollywood. It's Denny's food served by some of the least excited serving staff you've ever met, with prices marked up 300%. And you literally have to enter and exit through a gift shop. I stopped here cause I was in a hurry to eat before a show nearby. I think I'll skip it next time. My fajitas were bland, def a frozen chicken breast from the bag and the chicken tenders are straight from the frozen aisle at Vons. Ambiance. It's fine. I can't Knock it there. Moody bar vibes. The best part was a mocktail that was OJ and redbull. lol

    Steak nachos

    They are conveniently location on Hollywood boulevard close to El Capitan. We were going to a movie at El Capitan so this was perfect for a quick dinner before the movie. We decided to sit at the bar so we sat right away. They had live music which I enjoyed, but it did make it very loud to have a conversation. Depending on what you are looking for, this might not work. They have very casual ambiance with a darker feel. It is family friendly but more of a bar feel. Our server was prompt to take our order. We ordered the nachos and added steak and 1 beer each. The beers were nice and cold. The nachos were a bit of disappointment since they had very little steak for the price. You pay around $9 to add steak. The nachos came out to about $30 which I don't think they were worth that. I used to love ordering this and it has definitely shrank throughout the years. They tasted good, just not many toppings. Overall I give it a 4 because I also understand that it is a tourist trap so you are paying the price for it. Next time I will just order something else.

    What a fun night! David, our server, was super prompt and there was a lot going on! Full house, live music, lots of people, 8 of us for dinner. Bobby, the manager, came by and checked on us and asked us if we needed anything, how our evening was which never happens anymore. Highly recommend the fajitas! The Caesar salad! The mashed potatoes are literally hand mashed buttery gold potatoes. The band played some killllller covers. A fun Friday night in Hollywood! Validated parking and no cover!

    We like eating at Hard Rock Cafe's around the world. This time we were local in Los Angeles. It was clean and the service fast and the staff was super friendly. The food was good and didn't disappoint at all. If you like American food and love looking at memorabilia across all music genres this place will not disappoint. The food was very tasty, especially the Nachos were a hit. The only downside is that due to the touristy spot, it is busy and pricey. But we love the vibe, the music and looking at cool stuff while eating good food.

    The legendary smash burger was really good I was looking forward to eating it but the waiter came and took my plate before I was done i still had a third of the burger left so that was annoying the sprite was phenomenal

    Hard Rock catered a Kroq event today with All Time Low. The food was delicious and tasted freshly made . Portion size was good and multiple sauces were available for the sliders - Bravo ! The chocolate chip cookies were a bonus for dessert :)

    Always a pleasure to dine at a Hard Rock Cafe!!!!! We sat the bar at this time and our wonderful server/bartender (I think his name is Tim) was so nice and helpful!!! I ordered the loaded tots and enjoyed every bite of it! We also ordered a mock tail and a mojito. The Mocktail was SOOO GOOD! I almost only want to come back just for that!!! Always a pleasure coming to a Hard Rock. The only bad part is the parking, no parking to be found :(

    Can I bring my 6 year old?

    Yes, I have seen many children there. In fact, it might even be more fun for them to look around because of all of the music, lights, cool memorabilia, and upbeat atmosphere. They also have a nice kid friendly menu with really good smoothies!

    We had such a great experience at The Hollywood Rooftop Restaurant & Bar. The food was delicious,…read moreand the portion sizes were incredibly generous. I ordered the American breakfast, which was filling, flavorful, and a great value. The tiki flight was also a highlight and such a fun way to explore the different drinks and discover what you like. The colada was by far my favorite! The rooftop itself has a wonderful atmosphere--it feels open and lively while still offering a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood Boulevard. The celebrity wax figures placed around the rooftop add a playful, uniquely Hollywood touch and make for some fun photo opportunities. Great food, creative drinks, generous portions, and a memorable setting. I would definitely recommend stopping by for brunch or drinks while exploring Hollywood.

    (This experience occurred on 05/08/26. This review was mistakenly posted for the Madame Tussaud Wax…read moreMuseum.) I've dined at the Rooftop restaurant several times, and I've noticed a general trend: extremely slow service, but tasty food. My most recent visit on Friday, May 8, however, permanently changed my opinion of this restaurant. (I dined in a group of four for a 6:00 PM reservation.) At the start of meal, everything seemed as good as usual: extremely slow service, but tasty food. I ordered the Sea Bass as my main entree and the Garlic Cheese Puffs as my appetizer. Another person in my party also ordered the same entree. After 40 minutes--yes, 40 minutes--the staff begins dropping off our food. They brought everything except my sea bass, but they brought my friend's. After 5 minutes, when it seemed apparent that our waiter wasn't going to check in on us, we signal him over and ask about my sea bass. He quickly says he'll "check on it." Then, 5 minutes later, he returns saying the dish would be right out. At this point, I've been waiting almost 55 mins for a sea bass dish. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, so this started to become frustrating, especially with the lack of attentive service. Finally, my dish arrives. My partner noticed that the color of my sea bass didn't match the golden brown, crispness of my friend's sea bass. I then cut directly into the center of the fish and discover it's purple and raw. Inedible. Now, it's 7:00 PM. I've waited 1 hour for raw fish? We quickly wave down our waiter and show him the raw fish, which he takes back to the kitchen for a re-fire. Because I was seeing John Mulaney at the Hollywood Bowl at 7:30 PM, I requested the order to be canceled. The manager visits our table and tries to offer me another dish "on the house," but given the time and the fact that I was served raw food, I declined. I didn't want to rush eating my food and quite frankly didn't trust the kitchen to cook more food for me. Flash forward to receiving the check. The manager gave us a 50% discount, which only did two things: 1. It removed the sea bass--but why not just void that dish? Oh, they said they can't do that. That seems odd to me, given the type of restaurant the Rooftop purports itself to be. 2. It gave us $20 off a $200+ bill. By the way, the restaurant still charged an automatic gratuity charge of 20%. I understand that's the Rooftop's policy, which they do state on their website and their menu. But why should the staff receive an automatic gratuity when they clearly forgot to put in my sea bass, then served it raw, and didn't bother to refill our water or check in on us throughout the meal. Again, the restaurant has extremely slow service, but, this time, inedible food. After we pay, the waiter brings my party free shots, which we all politely declined. None of us ordered shots in the first place, drinks yes, but we weren't in that kind of mood. I don't believe the Rooftop did all that they could to make the situation right, and the manager didn't even bother to check in on us at the end of the meal. Her lack of urgency was appalling and, quite frankly, disturbing. I highly doubt she would be okay with this kind of service if she were in my position. I will never dine here again, and will never recommend it. What a shame. This place was starting to become a regular spot for me.

There were also seats at the bar but not enough for our group size. We came in for drinks and food before heading over to TCL Chinese Theatre. We ordered a few drinks and some shareables.

The wild mushroom tagliatelle was phenomenal the pasta was just right and oh those delicate but powerful herbs, divine! The Japanese sweet potatos were so tender, the sauce that was one them was so yummy, I loved it. The steak & frites were scrumptious, steak was perfectly medium rare and fries were classic. The charcuterie board was so good we got the 3 cheese and 2 meats, everyone enjoyed it. The fresh baguette was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, only thing that could have made it better was a little balsamic. Overall wonderfully surprised by the lobby bar on a Tuesday night.

    (Visit: 11/23/2024, Saturday evening around 10 )…read more About The Lobby -- "Thoughtfully reimagined by Nickey Kehoe (interior designer), the Lobby at The Hollywood Roosevelt is a stylish, inviting space to unwind. With dishes from Shirley Brasserie available all day, it's the perfect spot to enjoy everything from light bites to seasonal plates, surrounded by the warmth of the historic fireplace and the charm of this iconic setting." -- from The Roosevelt Hotel's website. Shirley Brasserie, the restaurant referred to above, is also located in The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (located next to The Lobby). The "iconic" they refer to is the fact that this hotel is historic -- it was built in 1926 during the Golden Era of Los Angeles architecture. It is named after Theodore Roosevelt. The first Academy Awards (Oscars) was held here in 1929. The hotel had its ups and downs since then but currently it looks beautiful and thriving. Take your out-of-state visiting friends/relatives to this place. Because this is a big part of "Hollywood". I recommend The Lobby to hang out after a long day's work or after a nice dinner nearby. This is where my sister and I went after our dinner at Musso and Frank. My sister ordered their Espresso Martini which was really good. I had a beer. Our server wasn't as warm as the ones during my visit in 2023. I think she was an introvert or a bit of a nervous person. But she did not seem potentially horrible. Restroom: I did not go to the restroom this time. I think there was a line. But I remember back in 2023 that you had to ask for a key or a code. Which is understandable for this area. Parking: I recommend the valet parking. If validated, the fee is really reasonable (I forgot how much they charged). We got ours validated because we ordered those drinks from The Lobby.

The bad: The host was extremely unprofessional and un-accommodating of my family's request. She has black hair with a streak of grey/silver hair I believe. While we had 2 different 2 person reservations, we asked if we could sit together since I don't get to see my parents often now that I live out of state and it was my birthday. We understand this isn't a request that can be always accommodated, but we were willing to wait to sit together. The host said this was not possible and we accepted sitting at 2 different tables. When my parents were sat, we noticed an empty table next to them. My father then asked the host if we could move and she refused, saying she isn't sure if rid totally sanitized and it would take a very long time for it to be cleaned by staff. She then walked away from us while rolling her eyes and cussing under her breath while walking right past my table. Even my father noticed this!! We understood, but a minute later a staff came and fully cleaned the table. Our waitress came to introduce herself and we requested to be moved once more, and she said of course and had us move immediately to be next to my parents :) Big shoutout to her! Again, I'd understand if the restaurant was busy and packed, but after us I saw no one sat at the 2 person table we were initially sitting at and the entire restaurant was slowly emptying out with not many new parties coming in... The host seemed to have extreme anger issues and lack of professionalism that I would expect from someone who knows the availability of tables. Now, for the good: The restaurant itself is amazing with great ambiance. I want to thank our awesome waitress and other people working at the restaurant, truly everyone else was great! They were funny, welcoming, and very patient. The food was tasty and we loved the lemonades we ordered. I recommend the pastrami dish from their brunch menu :) I would definitely recommend coming here, but the host at the front who is supposed to "welcome" guests is clearly not doing her job well. It truly left a sour taste in my mouth and I'd likely turn back from the restaurant if I saw her as the host again.

No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.
