Now I didn't get to take pictures because we were starving and just having a great time. I just know that everything was really delicious. Our server was nice and took care of us.

I hope to be back and take some pictures as also the ambience was lovely and the restaurant is nice inside.

Whether you sit at the bar for a drink or sit inside or on the terrace you are given chips and salsa which is nice. The staff are friendly and despite being so short staffed (not sure I'd be so jovial). We come once a week usually and have the Ceviche, Chicken Fajitas and Butter Cake - that is plenty for me to share with my boyfriend. It's probably not the best Mexican food in the area but it's convenient and reasonably priced

My Wife was physically assaulted by the doorman (Eric) on Monday night when she came in to retrieve…read morea wallet I had left there. Full Context: Came here with my wife and another couple. Everything was fine. Bartender is awesome. We sat at a booth for 2 hrs, paid our bill, then walked to Boardners at 1am. I quickly realized I had no wallet and must've left it at Power House - so walked my way back at around 1:20am. The Door Man, who had previously been a completely chill and nice dude, began screaming at a man behind me to "get the F--- out of here." I turn and see it was a very drunk patron who I recognized had been in the bar earlier. He then turned to me and screamed in my face to also "get the f--- out of here." I came to find out that patron had been kicked out and possibly had altercation with the Door Man Eric. So clearly the Door Man thought I was connected somehow to that random drunk patron. I tried to calmly explain that I did not know that patron and I was only returning because I left my ID/ credit card slim wallet somewhere in the bar. He proceeded to keep shouting that I was lying because they don't hold credit cards there, even though I was saying my entire wallet was somewhere physically in the bar. He then proceeded to say I was too drunk to come in and that I had "bad vibes" and that I was a weirdo and to get the f-- out of here. I continued to try to calmly reason with him, and he suddenly lunged at me as if to attack me - this man has a foot height on me - and I had to jump back off the curb into the street to evade him. I don't like to speculate but I suspect drug use was a factor here. At this point, I pull out my phone and continue to try reasoning - at a distance - but nothing is getting thru - so I go back to Boardners, tell my wife what happened and tell her I need her to try to go in and get my wallet. I followed far enough behind where they he wouldn't see me, but she was in there for a good five minutes, so I got worried. I called her, and then I hear this doorman shouting at my wife. I RUN to the open door where I see him towering over her in aggressive hostility, and I see my WALLET in her hand. We walk away. My wife tells me that they found the wallet where I knew I had left it. When it clicked that this lost wallet must have belonged to me, aka "the weirdo", he told her she was "86'd" there and then called her a "weirdo". When my wife told Eric that she "doesn't come here anyways", he became enraged and grabbed her with both of his arms as if to drag her out. He must've thought better of it and took his arms off when my wife stood called it out, and luckily the bartender was helpful enough to gave up the Door Man's name (hopefully that was an honest answer). I challenge the managers of this bar to review the video footage if there is any that took place outside of the doorway and inside the bar between 1am and 1:45. And to retain that footage.

(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.

I came on 8/29 7:30pm to the Lobby (lobby bar) received 0 service or acknowledgment from any of the servers from the moment we arrived. Most of the tables had empty bottles and glasses waiting to get picked up and patrons looking around trying to summon anyone that worked there. The woman server on duty did not acknowledge us in anyway and walked past several times . In fustration, I finally went to the bar to order with a bartender directly and was told 'a server would serve us' . I informed the bartender we had been seated for 20 mins and no one had come, I was begrudgingly then served at the bar and paid - tab had the nerve to charge 18 percent service fee. What service?? Once I returned with my drinks to the table, we watched as every new party that arrived struggled to get served or get attention or menus of any kind. The existing parties that were there also did not receive service and the used tables were left unattended to and not cleared. The 2 bar lobby staff that were "working" the floor that night on duty that night need to be fired and replaced with folks that actually feel like working. Unacceptable service. Will not be returning to waste my money on this establishment.

Went here with my parents and partner on Saturday around 11AM, and I have both good and bad things…read moreto say. Sadly, our experience started off very poorly. 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.

OMG, some of these negative reviews are ridiculous -- we're talking WORLD problems!…read more I used to use Yelp like it was the Bible, reading both the negative and positive reviews before deciding where to go. It's been forever since I've written a review, but after being here twice now and having a fantastic experience both times, I had to give this place a shout-out. Having this restaurant just two minutes from the Pantages is such a huge plus! The service has been amazing, especially considering I have many food allergies. Our server was incredibly kind, patient, and asked all the right questions, which made me feel comfortable ordering. The cocktails have been excellent, and both times I've ordered the spicy pasta. And when they say spicy, they mean SPICY! I was literally sweating on this 90-degree summer night, but I didn't even care because it was THAT good. This has quickly become my go-to restaurant when I'm heading to a play, or even when I just want a nice rooftop spot to sit, relax, and enjoy some cocktails. And the hummus? SO good. Next time, I'm ordering my own because I definitely don't want to share. I'll absolutely be back and will continue recommending this place to friends!

The service was impeccable--everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. We had to get the Michelada Oysters again because I had been craving them since our last visit. They were just as amazing as I remembered--fresh, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addicting. For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.
