    This location is not closed. Always enjoying my experience here. It's so comfy and the food is actually really good. I love bringing my family and friends here we always have a good time. The theater itself is beautiful and very glamorous.

    Another cozy seating place

    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
    Destiny G.

    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

    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… 

    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.

    Pros: *The food was very good…read more *The room and seating were comfortable *Some of the performers were very good *Nice atmosphere/interesting restaurant Cons: *A bit disorganized *A real need to have more direction for guests. *More thought on character and story depth needed *"Props" consisted of just scribbled notes on paper. 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.

    My wonderful friends were able to get us an invitation and it was a night I'll never forget!…read more The most memorable part of the night for me, was Greg Van Holsbeck's act. There was never a dull moment through out. He engaged the whole audience, making everyone feel included, and truly set the vibe for the room. In the middle, I scanned the room and really, all eyes were locked in on him. He was also absolutely hilarious and there really was never a silent moment - the room was brought to life with the roaring of laughter. However, don't be fooled as he is a master of his craft. His act was mind blowing and we left wondering how he did it all! 10/10, he is so amazing. Venue wise, it is absolutely beautiful inside and you truly feel like you've been transported to another world, or perhaps time. Everybody was dressed to the to the nines and the vibes were immaculate. I had the prime rib with truffle butter, ordered a side of their macaroni and cheese with bacon, then ended the meal with their banana crème pie. The prime rib was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth.. paired with the truffle butter? Perfection. The Mac and cheese was creamy with a great depth of flavor. THE BANANA CRÈME PIE?! Must be what heaven feels like. It was legitimately the BEST pie I've had in my life. Everything was balanced perfectly and gosh, that graham cracker crust. Perhaps the food is also part of an act, as one moment it was there.. then it was completely gone! The drinks from the bar were also excellent. You can tell they take hospitality here seriously.

The bad: the bartender in the bottom level ( a lady with a side buzzcut) was the rudest person. I pay tips in cash and so when I paid the drink with my card and pressed no tip she snatched the pay machine and yelled "gratuity is not included". I understand she didn't know I was going to pay in cash but omg her attitude was so vile and ugly. My friend also had asked her for recommendations on scotch which she said they didn't have any scotch but the way she said it and her attitude killed the entire vibe down there. Another thing too is the rules.. I understand the no hoot rule but if they're going to be strict with that rule they should be strict with the attire rule as well, I saw a man dressed in a t shirt and tennis shoes and then another dressed in a Hawaiian shirt? Overall it was a cute night but a one time kind of thing to do. If you have the chance def go!

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.

    Summary: Our dinner on a Thursday night was $149 per person plus $50 wine pairing. Excellent…read moreservice, unique experience with Tablemation, and great food! 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.

    I do not recommend this restaurant. The service and food were awful…read more We were there 2 1/2 hours. Two of us had the Ultimate Tasting and 2 of us had the Tomahawk steak. 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.

Everyone working at the venue was pleasant. The theatre itself was intimate in size. It was simple yet classic. They gave plenty of verbal countdowns to showtime. They have a strict no photos, videos, electronics use policy in the theatre during the show which was fine by me. I did drive up from San Diego solo to see Rory Scovel. He put on a great set! The vibe was great here. I met a bunch of cool people before the show. Definitely recommend getting a show in here.

    Love Largo! I discovered this place years ago when Judd Apatow recommended it in an interview. A…read morelot of comedians come here to test out new material and it's an overall chill, vibey experience. If you like authentic, down to earth fun, this is your place. The inside is like old theater seating. Seating is usually first come first serve, so I recommend getting there early. I was front and center tonight and I couldn't believe it - very rarely are you that close to performers of any kind. Today was my second time being here. The first time I saw Judd Apatow and David Spade and friends - although I love them, Judd was going for a very laid back approach reading off of his iPad lol. Today I saw Vanessa Bayer, Kyle Mooney, and Jenny Lewis was her surprise guest! The show was so funny and Jenny's guitar playing and singing were angelic. 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.
