    Another cozy seating place
    Andie B.

    Happy Friday! Looking for the perfect movie night? I highly recommend IPIC! PARKING PRO INFO: (1) Enter from Glendon Avenue and look for the driveway marked "Pierce Brothers" - it leads directly to convenient parking. (Refer to my two pictures re parking.) (2) Have your parking ticket validated. Our validated parking cost was only $3.30. AMBIANCE: Beautiful decor and cozy atmosphere that sets the perfect mood for movie night. SERVICE: Stellar! Every team member was exceptional - from the front desk staff to our attentive server to the bartender. SEATING: We enjoyed the Premium Plus theater, and the seats were incredibly comfortable. Each pair of seats has its own divider, giving you and your companion a nice sense of privacy. Pro tip: there's a handy button on your table to call your server, plus a separate button for the light. WINE: They offer two pour sizes - a standard glass (6 oz) or a generous glass and a half (9 oz). My Chardonnay was excellent! FOOD: We started with the Truffle Fries -- delicious! For our mains, my niece ordered the pizza, which was generously sized (we easily could have shared it). I went with the Turkey Sliders, which were decent, though the real star was the accompanying fries - different from the truffle version but equally tasty. LADIES RESTROOM: Very nice! It's like the high-end restaurants with plenty of stalls, glass doors that extend nearly to the floor, and genuine privacy. OVERALL: IPIC delivers a premium movie experience worth every penny. Highly recommend!

    I think I may have found my new favorite movie theatre spot! Of course it is on the pricier end but I do believe it's worth the experience once in a while. Parking is $3.30 with validation next door. Their food and drinks were also pretty good. We got the Mac and cheese with steak and the filet mignon sliders. As for drinks, we got the spicy mule and dragoncolada, both were great! Service was okay as they forgot my drink but our server was very nice! The best part was of course the seats as it came with blankets and you can practically lie down. Good thing I didn't eat too much or else I probably would've fallen asleep by how comfy those chairs are! Can't wait to be back!

    Comfy seats!!!!

    This was our first IPic experience and i can't wait to come back! I want to start with the negatives..,, the parking! Omg that garage entrance is kind of tight and i don't like the tandem spots. But anyways it is what it is. They do validate so that's cool. Now back to what i love. This place is lowky! I would have never known a theater existed because the building it's in doesn't give that it gives doctors offices lol Anyways the seats are comfy!!! And the blanket?! Yes thank you! Love the dine in experience and the staff are fast with your order! We'll definitely come back again i want to bring my niece and nephew so they can watch a movie in style!

    Nachos Grande- with steak

    Such an amazing experience. Super comfy seats to cuddle up and with a small blanket for comfort. Also provides the option of getting non alcoholic beer at the bar and delicious food to order at your seat. The service was amazing and they were pretty quick.

    Cocktail & Popcorn = Yum

    Attended a screening of "The Last Showgirl" at this amazing venue and loved the whole experience. Nestled quaintly on Wilshire Boulevard very close to Westwood Boulevard this iPic Theater is easy to drive to and accessible via public transportation. Greeted by two attentive hosts, walked by an attractive restaurant/lounge on the ground floor and was sent upstairs to the theatre. The seats in the theater reclined and a nicely folded blanket was on every seat. There's a server attending to you with full food and drink menu! Had a cocktail with my popcorn. After the movie screen was surprised with a question and answer session from some of the cast and crew (director, actors and costumer) of "The Last Showgirl"! Pamela Anderson was so open and honest. I need to be a member of iPic Theaters!

    Seared Tuna Salad

    We got the seared tuna salad it was the best salad I ever had had. With miso tahini dressing, mixed greens, red peppers and roasted apple took it to the next level. I want to go back tomorrow for round 2. I will get it every time. So bomb and healthy, get this.

    $50 tickets for 2

    I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at the iPic Westwood location during the 10:00 PM showing of Sinners on April 24th. The movie cut off less than halfway through, and instead of any meaningful resolution, I was sent home with just a voucher to return within the week. I had planned my evening carefully, including paying for a babysitter, expecting the luxury and service iPic promotes. Instead, I was charged over $100 for food and drinks--with no offer of a discount, refund, or even a voucher for the food and drinks I didn't get to enjoy while watching a full film. I reached out to iPic corporate via email to express my concerns and request appropriate compensation, but I've received no response. So now I'm here, sharing this on Yelp to warn others. For a theater that brands itself as high-end, the way this situation was handled--or rather, not handled--was extremely disappointing. I left feeling like my time, money, and overall experience didn't matter. I hope this is addressed not just for me, but so future guests aren't left in the same position.

    IPIC is my favorite theater for their comfort and convenience. I always order nibbles but we came the other day with intentions of having dinner during our movie and we were really surprised about how amazing the food was. The food has always been good but if this was an actual restaurant I would come back and order again! I couldn't get any pictures of my food because it was dark, but we had pepperoni pizza, chicken wings, and shrimp Cobb salad wrap w/ fries. Everything was really good but that shrimp cobb salad wrap was so good!! For a movie theater I can't believe how perfectly cooked the shrimp was. Highly recommend! Service was great as always!

    What is the parking situation here? Signage for where? Price? do they validate? Thanks!

    Not sure on validation but they have a parking lot that's reasonable (I think it's like $5) right before the theater -- there's pretty obvious signage about where to turn to park there. There's also street parking depending on the time of day you go.

    Which location is nicer this one or pasadena?

    Pasadena, IMO.

    If i buy premium plus seating, is that for two people or one per ticket?

    One per ticket

    It seems like it would be distracting from the film to have waiters coming in and out of the theater serving food. Do they do anything to minimize those distractions?

    They are very Discrete and wear all black plus they kneel down while walking through the theater so you don't even really see them. They try to take a majority of the orders before the movie starts and there is a little buzzer to press if you need… Read more

    So i just purchased tickets for tonight and I don't quite understand how it works here. Is the popcorn included in the price? Is it all you can eat popcorn. Whats the difference between the vip and regular seating.…

    Hey Maytal! Unlimited free popcorn is included in the price for Premium Plus (VIP) seats. Premium seats are closer to the screen, do not recline, and do not include waiter service. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

    So how does this work, I went on the website and it charges me $64 for two tickets, does that come with food and drinks too or is that separate?

    They only charge for the movie tickets. They give one free popcorn per ticket. Food and drinks are to be bought separately.

    It was roughly $20 for premium plus seats which would typically include free popcorn, blanket, and a pillow.

Upon arrival, guest have literally no idea what to do when they arrive at the restaurant. No one is there to greet anyone, we were just left to wander awkwardly around. While it says the show is 7 to 10 PM we were unable to get out of there until almost 11. This really ruined our after event plans, as we had no way to gracefully leave. The show was running late (there was a big lag between the salad and entrée with no activities or instructions on what to do during that awkward lull), and when finally it was "solved" (about 10:40pm), the performers and host positioned themselves in front of the only room exit, so they could introduce cast members. And after that-then even though it was 10:45PM, while they were still blocking the exit, they opted to single out everyone who had a birthday or anniversary, and sing happy birthday not once but twice in Long form. We really wanted to leave, and it was impossible. I've been to many murder, mystery evenings, and never been to one that there were not props involved. Usually there are evidence Props placed all around the room and included on the evidence table with diagrams, etc. So it was disappointing that no real thought went into creating "evidence". For over $650 for 6 of us (we bought cocktails at the bar), and our after plans completely ruined due to us not being able to get out until almost at 11 o'clock, I probably would have given this a two star rating but the food was very good and the actors at our table were fun to be around.

Pass through a bookcase disguised door like at the Magic Castle and enter a crimson velvet tinged world of Cabaret.  Comfortable sofas for the big ballers while the rest of us are relegated to tall bar stools with no back.

The 2nd show starts at 9pm.  You can order a short list of bar food, and there is a full bar, but obviously no loud blender to disrupt the show which runs around 90 minutes. So it is possible to dine before or after at French influenced Shirley where you get a 15% discount showing your La Cage tickets.  Then doing a post prandial libation at the Lounge or an alcohol based Milk Shake at 25° to make it a full evening at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Drag is a venerable art form. In Shakespeare's time, the Globe Theatre had only male actors so Drag was de rigueur as well as the ancient Japanese Kabuki Theatre which is still all male to this day.  Host Tommi Rose, 47 year Drag veteran originally from the La Cage aux Folles Night Club in the 1980's as well as at famous Finocchio's in San Francisco during the 1970's, does a flurry of 13 costume changes ending with a silver beaded dress weighing 28 lbs.  A Marilyn Monroe, who is a dead ringer to the original, performs flawlessly channeling her inner Monroe. Lady Gaga makes an appearance lip synching to songs when she sang with Tony Bennett. The in between acts had a "Cabaret" Berlinesque feel that Liza Minelli would have been pleased.  The Torch Song finale was a rousing, feel good rendition of "I Am What I Am" from the song originally introduced in the Broadway musical La Cage aux Folles.  It was a poignant song that makes no apology nor excuse for who we are. And that is the way it should be.  Enjoy the Drag!!!  PS Get rid of the annoying two pillars blocking the view of the stage.

We ate very last crumb on our plates and left feeling full and content. Details... Made a reservation on Open Table for a Thursday night for our anniversary. Prices may differ depending on the day you book. I appreciated the whole menu displayed on the website so we could anticipate the 4 courses. We planned to arrive 30 minutes in advance as they suggest, especially in case there was traffic! We pulled into the SLS Beverly Hills and it's valet only. The cost of valet was $20 for 3 hours with restaurant validation. We entered the hotel lobby which had beautiful florals for a photo which the staff kindly took for us. Staff all around the hotel seemed especially friendly and attentive which we really appreciated as we had to ask for directions a few times to the restaurant. The "Wasp in the Wig" speakeasy is where we entered past the elevators and "through the looking glass" aka the mirrored room and entryway. We were told that although our reservation was at 6, they would seat us at 6:20p and to find somewhere comfortable in the speakeasy and order a drink if we'd like. We found a nice booth and we enjoyed trying the Gin Garden cocktail, closed our tab, then around 6:20p we asked if we should now be seated and they promptly led us to the actual Le Monde restaurant. On the way through the back of the speakeasy we're the restrooms which were huge! We were the only table for that seating time so it was cool to have the whole space to ourselves! Felt very special. The staff here was also so friendly and congenial. Everything was served promptly on very nice plates and every dish tasted really good! I was surprised by the tuna tartare and the dessert the most because I really enjoyed them! For the dessert there are floral notes like rose water sprayed over the dessert and lavender, and I usually don't like floral flavors, but this wasn't overwhelming at all and it was so good I ate every last bit! The macaron was so yummy too! I had the wine pairing for an extra $50 and the pours were generous! So worth it! After my cocktail and 4 more drinks at dinner I was feeling great! The Tablemation was cute and entertaining since it was something new for us. It filled in the time between the courses and made for some fun Instagram/TikTok content. Kids would probably find the jokes funny. If there was a new menu and Tablemation I would return with friends! Parking validation was done back at the speakeasy host stand and we also were able to get change for tip at the bar. Our car was brought around very quickly and we could pay the $20 charge on our credit card.

The steak was the first item served. The steak was raw and was ordered medium rare and we had to send it back. It took another 30 minutes to get the salads and appetizers. Two of us had the Ultimate Drinks but that took very long to get. I didn't get my main dishes until 2 1/2 hours later and by then I didn't want to eat because I was exhausted from waiting so long. All of the food was cold. I complained about the poor service and was told that the kitten was short by 4 people. The bathroom was filthy. No toilet paper and paper towels. The waiters kept dropping and breaking plates all around us. You could tell the employees were pissed off. No one smiled or seemed pleasant to the customers. We were there to celebrate my son's 33rd birthday. All they served him was a stale chocolate cake that look like it was bought at the 99 cent store. We sat outside and there was poor lighting. We had to turn on phone flashlight to check the food because it was poorly lite. This only items that were good were the mushrooms, creamed spinach, and sangria. It was not worth the $400 we paid. I will never go back to this restaurant.

There's a lot of food places in walking distance so you can grab your ticket and eat dinner before the show. Highly recommend going if you're on the fence! Try it!

    The music and ambience was the main plus here. The drinks were nothing fancy but if you just order…read morea basic drink its fine. We did order some shots so you couldn't really get that wrong. I was not a fan of the food though. Left hungry even. But after 10pm they serve pizza. The service was okay. Never once got a refill of water and asked the guy a couple of times. The woman who served us I wish I knew her name. She was the main plus. Sorry for not knowing your name but kudos to your respect and hospitality. I guess I may give it another chance, but they would have to change some things.

    Terrible Experience - Unprofessional and Deceptive…read more This review is long overdue, but I wanted to ensure others are aware of my experience before visiting this place. I even filed a complaint with the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control about the issues I encountered. First, this restaurant operates under a Type 42 license, which requires them to cater to families and children. However, they refused to accommodate my 16-year-old son, despite this being clearly discussed beforehand. If you're a family considering this place, think twice. I had reserved this restaurant for my birthday celebration with 20 guests. The owner, a Moroccan gentleman, assured me everything would be perfect. I paid over $3,000 in advance for "the best food" and all-inclusive drinks. Given my Middle Eastern background, I trusted him to deliver on his promises. That was a big mistake. We arrived at 8 PM and were immediately disappointed. There were no drinks available, and only five small appetizer plates were served for 20 people. We waited over an hour, and the owner finally showed up on a bicycle, apologizing for the delay. To make matters worse, he turned out to be related to one of my guests, adding to the awkwardness. As we sat there, hungry and frustrated, the owner prioritized serving his own family, who were seated at a table above us. They were given an abundance of food and drinks while we were treated like second-class citizens, left to feel humiliated in comparison. Around 9:40 PM--nearly two hours after our arrival--they finally brought out some dishes and drinks. However, it was still nowhere near what was promised. When I tried to speak to the owner again, he was nowhere to be found. Adding insult to injury, the "belly dancer" and "fireworks" advertised on their website are a complete lie. None of it was offered or even acknowledged. It's purely false advertising to lure people in. Then, to make matters even worse, security came over, grabbed drinks from our hands, and told us we had to leave because my son was underage. They essentially threw us out of the restaurant after completely mishandling our reservation and ruining my birthday celebration. I filed a formal complaint with the city, which nearly cost them their license. The owner later reached out to a close friend of mine, pleading with me to withdraw the complaint. This was, without a doubt, one of the most unprofessional and disrespectful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. I do not recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're planning a special event or expect to be treated fairly.
