    Yogurt parfait
    Deana M.

    Had breakfast down in Jute every morning. My husband always ordered the yogurt parfait and I had the fruit bowl. One morning I had oatmeal. Service was excellent!! Coffee is served in a carafe, so our cups were always full. Huge windows look out to the golf course. A very pleasant start to the day!

    Scallops appetizer
    Sylvia G.

    We were staying at the west drift and came for breakfast but because it was 10:45, they were turning over for lunch. First bummer! I really wanted to give this place a good review but the service was too slow and just lacked engagement. I write this with the caveat that I totally understand that this could have been a bad day for the server or they were short staffed. I'm not sure if it's a California thing where you have to ask for water (drought?) but we didn't get any or was offered any at any point during the whole meal. The food was good though, I ordered this scallop appetizer that was very flavorful and quite hearty. My daughter's bagel with cream cheese..not so extraordinary. To cap it off, no one wanted to take my money. I had to literally go up to the bar to find bodies to ask them to settle my bill. There are a ton of other great eating spots within walking distance...check those out! I got better service with my short interaction picking up last night's take out from Bruxie than I did being here for over an hour with this crew. It could have been an off day but perception is reality and I believe we can always be improving.

    Huevos Rancheros, so good!!
    Rosa R.

    This restaurant is ok. I mean for a hotel you expect a bit better. I got the breakfast buffet and everything was cold and hard. Mind you it was only 9am. The one thing I loved was the huevos rancheros. Sadly even though the breakfast was included I had to pay for my plate beCause you don't get credit.

    Shishito peppers. Absolutely amazing!
    Brian W.

    Lost a star with every course. Not to mention the lackluster service. Un-im-pressed. I was staying at the Westdrift on business, got in about 7:00 from Austin (so tired), and just wanted to stay in the hotel. Jute looked like a good option, with a good looking (but expensive) menu and some good Yelp reviews. Things started off great with the Shishito peppers, and I mean fantastically great. If it weren't for the service (more on that in a bit) I was all set for a sterling review. I like Shishito's in the first place; usually they are blistered and prepared with a little sea salt. I was a little skeptical of these, as they come with a little soy sauce, lime, and garlic. Turned out to be out of this world good. Crazy good. I could have had those all night. Based on the peppers I could not wait to try the Spanish Shrimps I ordered for my main. This was a "share or not share" plate, tapas style. However, whether you share or not just be prepared that it is not very good. My main complaint is that the shrimp were way overcooked. So much so that I considered sending it back. The sauce was also off-putting. It was tomato based, with some heat, and pieces of chorizo. Weird chorizo. Not ground, as I thought I'd get, but little pieces of a chorizo sausage that had the consistency of a "little smokie's". Strange. There was a bread garnish that didn't add much. After the peppers I was so disappointed!! Well, I thought maybe dessert would redeem Jute and maybe salvage a review. Nope. I had what have to be the most tasteless doughnuts ever fried. They looked great - just no flavor. Not exactly pillowy either - more like fried an hour ago. Some plain and not impressive ice cream to accompany this last gasp from the kitchen. Bummer. The service, as said was lackluster at best. Not an unfriendly server, just apathetic and missing most of the time. It was not exactly busy, so I don't get why I had to flag down my server for things. He also acted pained to be serving me, like he really had something better to do. Nice view of the golf course, if you like that sort of view. There look to be lots of great restaurants close to the beach. Next time I'll try one of those. No more Jute.

    Tiramisu, Key lime in the background.
    Genji M.

    Definitely get the Thai Chicken dinner Entree (very moist and delicious, hands down better than any Thai dish I have had in Thai restaurants, and thats saying a lot, because we aren't in a Thai restaurant. It was so good we came back down the next day and ordered it again), Ahi Tuna Ceviche, and LAX to JFK Cocktail drink (Get your camera ready), and for salad get the buratta and watermelon salad. Desserts I would say the Tiramisu is the best and the way they present it is in a bowl. What I just mentioned is probably the best they have on their menu. I highly recommend coming for dinner (5pm and after) since that is when the dinner menu will be available. I came for lunch but left since the lunch menu wasn't really exciting. There is someone who made a bad review about the food earlier but it is pretty obvious they had other issues with the hotel unrelated to the food but had to passive aggressively put down the restaurant for some odd reason.... anyway the food was extremely good and I posted some photos of it. A full course meal for two people that includes appetizers and dessert and a drink will run you about $100-$130, not too bad at all for what they serve you. Also about 80% of their waitress staff gives great customer service the way it was meant to be. After all the bad service I have been receiving at other hotel restaurants, it feels refreshing and a huge relief to actually get some good service once in a while. Even the waitress that served us the day before (amazing service by a russian lady forgot her name but she was great) came by to say hello and bid us goodbye on our last day eating at the restaurant...phenomenal. Also the restaurant is located inside the amazing Westdrift Hotel which also has the most amazing rooms compared to anywhere I have been in California. The only hotel that comes close to Westdrift is the Paseo Hotel in Huntington Beach and the Avenue of The Arts, Costa Mesa. Either way definitely give Jute a try. I am starting to believe the reason why they don't have reviews on here is that people want to keep the place secret.

    I'm not one to eat at the hotel I'm staying at, but I break my rule every time I find myself at the Westdrift. I've only ever had breakfast here but literally everything I have had here is incredible! They have a beautiful outdoor setting, overlooking their golf course. It is extremely serene. Their breakfast chia bowl is DA BOMB!!! I got their fresh squeezed OJ and it was super fresh.

    Such a lovely space and staff. I was guided from the elevator by a lovely employee who lead me to the restaurant, Jute. I was served by Jordan who encompasses hospitality he was considerate and attentive to my needs and my craziness of consistent relocating away from the sun while working on my laptop. He was accommodating to my work session and even broke up my time with a casual conversation about future travel work plans. Please come visit this location as a local or traveler - you will not be disappointed!

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation after she became a doctor, and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. The food was delicious, rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The drinks were great too! I enjoyed the wine and champagne, which were smooth and not overly strong. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who did an amazing job taking care of our group. He was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get pretty windy up there since you're close to the airport, so bring a light jacket or dress accordingly. Thankfully, they have fire pits and heat lamps that help keep everyone warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Thank you for a great experience!

It's located inside a hotel and the rooftop was decorated with florals and there were couches near the fire pits. If you sit at the fire pit, the table is going to be super small by the way. I ordered the grapefruit grove, but they ran out of grapefruit so I had to sub for pineapple. The drink still tasted good. My friends ordered the bird of paradise and the LA fruit cart and they liked their drinks as well. For food, we all tried the flora fries, garlic parmesan wings and the ahi tuna poke nachos. This is where it was lacking. I only liked the flora fries. They were crispy and garlicky. However, the garlic parmesan wings were extremely bland. I couldn't taste any flavor, we had to ask for some salt. The ahi tuna poke was not what i was expecting. I literally got 4 small pieces of tuna on some crispy wonton chips and it was $23 lol. Overall, if I were to come back, I would just come for drinks and ambiance but not the food.

The bathroom I used was gender neutral, and there is a convenient parking lot right in front. They do not serve food here, so some folks bring their own.

Servers and waiters will blatantly walk past you as you're trying to flag them down or get their attention. They will ignore you even if you have money in your hand and you're trying to order.

I had multiple servers look at me and disgust while trying to order or would blatantly stare me in my eyes and then take another person's order over mine. I was walking home from work and just wanted to stop by this place because I had never been and boy was it the biggest mistake of my life. I've been in places that were crowded, but this place was honestly a safety hazard. Everyone is shoving and pushing. It's terrible. When I was finally able to order after being ignored for 20 minutes, all of my food came out cold and I had to send the drinks back because it looked like there was something in it. If you plan on going here, go there at your own risk.
