    Great rooftop brunch spot in Hollywood with a relaxed vibe and beautiful views of the Capitol Records Building. The setting feels upscale but still comfortable, perfect for a weekend outing. We enjoyed fresh oysters, a bright kale salad, rich eggs Benedict, and fluffy strawberry pancakes. Everything tasted well prepared and nicely presented. I'd definitely come back

    Such a cute spot for brunch! Our table enjoyed the oysters, shrimp, and the complimentary sourdough bread with butter. I ordered the steak and potatoes along with the cactus drink made with tequila instead of mezcal, and everything was absolutely delicious. It was a bit quiet for a Sunday brunch, but aside from that, no complaints. The staff was friendly, and I loved that it's a rooftop. I would absolutely go back! We also took the cutest picture in the photo booth and loved the lemon trees such a chic and charming place. Perfect for brunch with your girlfriends or a romantic date!"

    Located on the rooftop or a small boutique hotel, the ambiance is beautiful, you're surrounded by a rooftop orchard of lemons, limes, loquats (or kumquats?) trees and soft lighting. We ordered pasta and chicken and our dinners were so delicious. The pasta had a slight tang of lemon and now Im trying to infuse my pasta with the same. Tried the upside down apple dessert and I thought it was just ok. Overall we enjoyed our dinner date and will def be returning!

    Stopped for brunch and was impressed with the layers and the beautiful views. Service was great and vibe was trendy. We split the eggs Benny which was good but the true star was that incredible warm and delicious coffee cake. It was pure heaven.

    Apple cake

    Rooftop dining at its best. First time visiting this restaurant. Delicious pasta entree. Apple cake dessert was underwhelming. We opted for a table outdoors and despite every table being taken, we're able to have a pleasant conversation.

    Great place to visit if you're going to a show at the Pantages. Valet parking is available and your car can be left at the restaurant while you walk to the Pantages after dinner. Excellent service and beautiful rooftop views! My go to drink has been the Cactus Flower; it can be a bit too sweet, but you can ask the server to adjust it a bit with a little more mezcal! I usually order the burrata caprese because it is flavorful and light and a great start to dinner. I love Thai food, so I usually order the lemon pasta, which has nothing to do with a lemon citrus flavor, by the way! One time I added chicken to this pasta dish and didn't enjoy it as much as the pasta itself. Their dessert menu hasn't been updated so ask your server for dessert options. Tip: make a reservation in advance.

    Great rooftop restaurant option especially when going to the Pantages to watch a show. We had a 615pm reservation for an 8pm show so we were not rushed. They have valet for $30 but also several parking lots within the area. Loved the vibe. Located on the 6th floor in a hotel called The Asher. Indoor and outdoor seating. There was a bar adjacent to the restaurant so had good music to listen to without it being too loud. We ordered the burrata for our appetizer which was a great start with some cocktails and then wanted to try their signature lemon pasta. I was apprehensive at first as it just didn't sound like lemon and pasta were a great combination. Surprised how good it tasted and it was a very pretty plate. Also got the short rib rigatoni which I actually liked much better though. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt. When we initially ordered we told her we were watching a show so she made sure to keep the meal on track so we had enough time to walk over which was about a two minute walk less than a block away.

    This review is for brunch only. Lemon Grove is such a vibe. The rooftop views are incredible. Seriously, check out the photos other Yelpers have posted. The views are iconic LA, u can literally see the Hollywood sign and Capitol Records Tower while sipping your mimosa. The whole place hits that perfect balance between laid back and stylish. It's ideal for lazy weekends when you want to brunch somewhere cute without going full "dress to impress," but also not roll up in diner casual. The drinks are spot on, the bar team knows what they're doing. And the food is so good. Every dish we ordered hit the mark. This is exactly the kind of brunch that makes staying disciplined all week worth it, just so you can go all in come Saturday or Sunday. Every bite was flavorful and totally satisfying. LA has no shortage of vibey brunch spots, but Lemon Grove definitely earns its spot in our regular rotation.

    Finally came in to try Lemon grove and the infamous Lemon pasta. Came to see another Pantages play and typically eat at Jemmas downstairs but they were closed for an event, so perfect time to try Lemon Grove. Made a reservation online and quickly sat indoors. Outside patio is very pretty but it was a little cold out so opted for inside seating. Staff were friendly, menu is straightforward. Ordered the Cactus Flower and Grow a Pear - both delicious. For an appetizer we ordered the aster meatballs, bread and sauce were great, I'm not the biggest meatball fan though. For entrees we got the half roasted chicken and the Lemon pasta. Big portion for the chicken, enough for leftovers. Lemon pasta was good, more of a curry flavor/ Thai inspired Italian dish - definitely one to try. Sadly too full for dessert. Overall a good meal, sitting next to the bar the noise level does vary a bit, outside seating may be preferred. Outside their patio there is an expansive rooftop with additional bars and seating with expansive Los Angeles views too. Great spot for drinks with a view.

    Beautiful rooftop restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard and such a perfect spot to start the weekend night. The food was delightful -- I ordered the steak, and it was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and very professional. Great ambiance, great service, and definitely a place I'd come back to.

    Parking is typical Hollywood parking. We lucked out, but if you can't find parking, I don't think it's worth paying the parking lot rates for this place. The rooftop area is really cute and had nice brunch-y vibes. Service was great. Food was good, but not TO DIE FOR. I'd come back, but I wouldn't say it's a must-try.

    Hamachi crudo
    Vanessa D.

    Decent spot. You have to take the elevator to the 6th (?) floor. That wasn't clear tbh. Great ambiance. Got 2 drinks, one was the cucumber based one, the other I forgot. To eat I got the hamachi crudo. Decent. Also had the meatballs and the sourdough bread. Both very good. Would be back for vibes, maybe try something else too

    My significant other and I went with friends to a show at the Pantages and we were looking for a restaurant to visit before the show. So happy that we found the Lemon Grove! The restaurant is on top of the Aster Hotel. The rooftop has a bar area, and then the restaurant area which has indoor and outdoor seating available. There are also sofas and chairs outside that are available if a special event is not taking place. Because of the time of year, we opted for indoor seating in case it was super hot outside. The ambiance is indoor/outdoor, which I love. The drinks and food were great. I had what I am personally calling "The World Famous Lemon Pasta"...it was so delicious and I can't wait to get it again. Our server mentioned it was more like a curry rather than a lemon sauce, which I assume is because a lot of people may not be familiar with Tom Kha. It was absolutely delicious. After we finished our dinner, we had some time to kill and enjoyed drinks sitting in the outdoor lounge area. The views are great and the vibe is chill. I loved the view of the Capitol Records tower, as it is an old workplace of mine. Lots of Hollywood nostalgia viewable from the rooftop. We had a great time at Lemon Grove and I look forward to stopping by again.

It's really pretty on the rooftop plus has a fun vibe with a few wax figures around! Will Smith, James Dean, The Rock, Zendaya, Marilyn Monroe...a bunch of A Listers to dine around! lol! The staff was all so nice and kind here! I was actually really surprised to find such amazing staff at such a tourist type of spot. They were all just so great!!! The other clientele seemed to be coworkers there for happy hour, tourists popping by, then my friend and I! It was a good mix of people hanging out up there. I really liked the vibes. We went during happy hour which had a bunch of drink specials. I had a Mocktail which wasn't on the HH menu but it was so gorgeous and tasty! The Zombie ($12) had Grapefruit, lime juice, black iced tea, tiger's blood and was wonderful. I really appreciate when places put effort into their NA drinks. Also on the HH menu were a few food options and my friend had a $4 Steak Taco which he was happy with. I had the Box Office burger which was incredibly indulgent with A Cajun-spiced patty, balsamic onions, bacon jam, arugula and garlic aioli on a pretzel bun. Plus, they bring a little pan of melted blue cheese which they will pour tableside onto the burger for you. Cute! And I loved the burger.

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.
