Just a quick layover breakfast, had the avacado toast, super nice and fresh. Feel recharged! Service was excellent, friendly gentleman called Fermin was very nice chap. Always a good start to a day to meet nice people. Comfortable place too. Nice music read more

Went downstairs last night for a quick late dinner and was surprised to find the food was actually really good. I got a side salad and some buffalo wings, and both were very good. The side salad was large, and everything was very fresh; no wilted lettuce or off-putting veggies. The wings were perfectly cooked, and the buffalo sauce was exactly like I'd make at home. Hotel prices are rough, but the food quality for a hotel restaurant is better than I'd expected. If you are sitting in your room right now, reading this and deciding between ordering delivery or coming down to eat, definitely dine here. The kitchen is open until 11pm on weekdays, and my Uber Eats delivery the night before took 70 minutes, even though I was quoted 20. read more

Fermin was a wonderful server; efficient, friendly and prompt! The BYO omelet and potatoes were delicious!! read more

I had lunch here on a Thursday afternoon as it was the best (and only) option without taking a walk outside in the rare SoCal rainy downpour. The menu has a variety of different options depending on what you're in the mood for. There were plenty of tables and seating and it was not very busy. Of course, busyness can vary greatly based on the events going on at the hotel. We were seated shortly after arriving and the waitress was helpful with recommendations. Prices are on the higher side but I suppose are on par for what you'd expect for an onsite hotel restaurant. You're essentially paying for convenience. I had the Ensenada fish tacos (2 pcs) made of fried cod, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, crema, a small side of salsa and limes. The tacos were tasty. The fish could have been larger, especially for the price, but overall a good dish if you're not too hungry and just need a little fuel to get you going. My only negative experience was the wait time for getting our check. It felt like a dead 10-15 minutes after our party was done before we were able to spot a staff member to flag down so that we could pay and head back to the conference. I stopped by the lobby in the evening and could see a much busier crowd hanging out at the bar. TL;DR: Sometimes you have limited choices and need to prioritize convenience when traveling. You can do much worse than Studio 12 so it is a good option to have onsite. read more

Our Server, Fermin was a delight! He was kind and professional. My husband and I are visiting here for our Honeymoon. The Renaissance has been the perfect hotel. Also, our breakfast was amazing! The potatoes were cooked to perfection. I would recommend the BYO omelette and my breakfast croissant was stellar. read more

My waiter was freaking awesome to me when I was scattered from constant travel. Fermin treated me with care happiness to be of service and it left me feeling amazing. The avocado toast was delicious, but very hard to eat. Would still order, just be prepared read more

All great and appreciate server Fermin. He gave excellent service with a smile and gave extra friendly vibes

Exceeded expectations! Got the American breakfast and each aspect was well cooked and big portions. Coffee was great and strong. Most of all, service was excellent - Fermin was the consummate professional. Great start to the day read more

Very relaxing environment to catch la meal before or after flight. Ask for Fermin!!!! Great waiter. Very attentive!

Burger was just ok, but way too pricey at $26.....should've been crazy good for that price

We are staying one night to catch an early morning flight at LAX. As you might expect, the area around the airport is busy, commercial and non-conducive to walking. So once at the hotel, there is a propensity to stay at the hotel. We were hungry and lunch beckoned. I had three takeaways after my lunch here: 1. Pleasant staff and quick service 2. Mediocre food 3. High prices We ordered a Cheeseburger and an Ahi Tuna Poke bowl. The cheeseburger was cooked nicely, arriving medium rare, and the cheese was nicely melted. But the burger was dry and the fries were limp and cool. It was a disappointing dish. We also ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. The tuna was good, but the salad was under dressed and the portions were small. The Daikon radish was hard and unappealing. This was also a mediocre dish. $60 with tip, no beverages. I'd likely rate this restaurant 2.5 stars, and I'm rounding up to 3 stars for the good service. read more

This is a wonderful and casual restaurant! The fish tacos and Mediterranean salad were absolutely delicious. Our server, Leticia, was friendly and efficient. This is a great place to relax and enjoy a nice meal before, during or after travel. read more

Well It's a pretty austere... Ambiance is a bit cool. Without decorations or a cozy feel That being said. I was immediately welcomed and served a beer and gif in a good other within 39 seconds of seating. Awesome. I had a salad. Salmon added option. It was a good meal before dinner when a beer. The piped in music didn't fit. Better music. Dimmer lighting. Woulda felt better at the end of a long day . Too much energy.., I liked the bar stool seats. easy to lounge in read more

Great breakfast, big portions, good selection for everyone. Fermin took care of all our needs!

Best Omelet Ever! Coffee was very good. Great service too. Good atmosphere.Definitely recommend.

Dined at Studio 12 Bar and Lounge during my latest stay in Los Angeles. The food was fresh and the portion of the breakfast sandwich was huge. Fermin, my server, was incredibly kind and attentive. Although there was music playing, it didn't overwhelm my experience and I was able to enjoy my book. read more

The food and service was great! Our server named Fermin was very attentive, friendly and professional. We would definitely come back and stay again. read more

Fermin was a gracious server and made it a great way to start a day with him for breakfast

You have to tried the fried cauliflower! It is so delicious. It was a late night so I came here with some crew and the staff was friendly and fast. The manager even remembered a few of our faces. I love the chill vibes and the selection of food/liquors. read more

Food was good, we got the taquitos appetizer and cauliflower. However; the server / bartender was completely overwhelmed. I stood standing waiting for him to help me and ignored me for a few minutes. He then told me to sit and he'd help me in a few minutes. He was a bit rude! Then he came by and took our order and when my husband ordered his beer, the bartender walked away. He obviously was having a bad day. read more

Good selection of food and excellent customer service. Fermin my server always takes good care of me. A++

Excellent service with excellent food! French onion soup was the best I ever tasted! Cocktails were superb as well. This is my new favorite restaurant for the money! read more

Visiting a friend that's here from out of town. They let me know there's a little bar grill downstairs, so we decided to get a drink and a couple of appetizers. We ordered wings and nachos, and they even let us sample their Tortilla soup. It was really good. They have a lot of vegetarian options as well as sandwiches burgers salads even steak. The staff was nice. The place was cozy. I definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat & a drink with a friend. read more

On the way to LAX to pick my mom up , decided to give a try to this place, not expecting anything since is inside a hotel close to airport, but food was pretty good and service was pretty good too a little pricey but you are close to airport. read more

Great hotel restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The food was fresh and well-prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive. Perfect spot for a relaxed meal while staying at the hotel. They have live music which is great! read more

Food is actually good, but the service here leaves a lot to be desired. The server failed to bring me my food for about 30 mins after it was already done. It also took them about 15 mins to bring me a water after I asked them. Too distracted to offer good service. read more

Just landed and stopped by to get some work done before we headed out for the day. I wasn't too hungry but ended up ordering carne asada fries. It was surprisingly really good. I enjoyed the pico that it came with. Added some light flavor in the dish. I always get sauce on the side so the food doesn't get too soggy. The meat was steak which I appreciated rather than ground beef. I will say that the fries could've been more crispy / fried longer! Also more cheese!!! I ordered an espresso martini after my work day and I loved it! Creamy strong and delightful! Stop by to grab something if you are staying here, ambiance is very nice! Loud but I love a good scene around me. The service was kind and also recommended time for travels to avoid traffic! read more

Doing some work and eating lunch was great. The atmosphere and the music and vibes were really relaxing and calm. The fries were a bit undercooked but the flavour was good. The cheese and steak was a very good add on to the fries. Only if the fries were more crispy that would have made this better. The service was great, super helpful when I ask questions about directions. read more

We stayed at the attached Renaissance Hotel for 2 weeks, and we can speak about the breakfast buffet ($33 for regular guests), the burger/fries and an experience with the bar. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and would give it a 4 star review, as it could use a bit more variety, especially when you see/eat the same things for 2 weeks. But to be fair, the food was fresh, hot, and even offered some vegan fare. The buffet area/dishes etc were kept very clean/tidy. The coffee was always excellent and the morning team members was absolutely stellar! So friendly, so catering and just really really good people. The bar staff... meh... unless they felt like you were going to tip them, they really didn't have the time of day for us. I got to witness a brief disagreement between a patron/hotel guest and one of the bar tenders (same one who'd been rude to me) and I was not surprised at the bad attitude of said bar tender. I ordered food to take up to my room one night from this same bartender, one night I'd asked if he would open my bottle of wine for me, and one other night, I asked him for change. All three times this guy was just not suited for the customer service/hotel industry. So we opted to go elsewhere, or continue to buy our booze elsewhere to enjoy upstairs. The burger/fries I ordered from this resto was such a disappointment. For $23, it was just a sad, boring, overly greasy-bunned, bland burger with a stingy amount of sad fries that were not cripsy. I was so hungry and ate it in my room wishing I'd eaten out instead, which is what our group did henceforth. Overall, the bar/resto areas were okay in appearance. Dark, but pretty clean. The seats/cushions could use some upgrading. Being a hotel resto, parking is very costly (hotel rates apply) or if you're lucky, off street, but close to the airport so keep that in mind. Very wheelchair accessible both in the bar area and the restaurant area. Hotel bathroom is right nearyby and very clean. read more

Great food, reasonable prices considering in a hotel near LAX. service was good once you got seated. There were quite a bit so it took a while. The server was nice and he apologized and recommended the margarita. He even said if I didn't like it, he'll get me something else. Aviation burger was really good and i splurged to get the truffle fries. Delicious. read more

The Renaissance Hotel by LAX is home to Studio 12. We went to Studio 12 a few times during our 2 night stay at the hotel. Both nights we had drinks at the bar. The servers and bartenders were pretty good considering how busy they were. Also had breakfast buffet down there each morning. Nice selection of food. I liked the omelette station as well. Studio 12 is not a destination, but it is nice overall. read more

Nice spot in the LAX Renaissance. I had dinner here while on a work trip earlier this week. I sat at the bar, which was nice and service was great. The bar area and dining area are very nice. I had a martini which was really good. The Ahi Tuna app is awesome. For my entree I had the NY Strip and vegetables which was also excellent. The server did a good job of pairing wines with the dishes as well. If you are staying here I highly recommend just staying in and eating/drinking here. read more
