Good size crowd, but it was easy enough to get a drink from the bar. Vibes were good and got better when the Gumbo Brothers came on. They are a cover band, but specific to hip hop and RnB, and they killed it. Jay on the sax was amazing, and Apollo on the mic was perfect. We will be back on Friday or Saturday, since I believe that's when the Gumbo Brothers are there.

The guests, come and go and at each moment, in any corner, be ready to be surprised and entertained by a live DJ, acrobat, burlesque performer, pianist and singer. What a show! Veronica at the bar was fantastic and made us drinks just to our order. Supper knowledgable, helpful and kind. Definitely, this place is a great hangout after a meal... be prepared to be be dazzled and entertained.

Food is hit or miss overall, and the sliders perfectly represent that lol. Sometimes the meat tastes fresh, seasoned, and so good... and sometimes it absolutely does not. Today was unfortunately one of those days Dear gods don't let me get sick. Very inconsistent Also the well vodka tastes like punishment so drink at your own risk. So I never benefit from happy hour prices. And one time after my birthday get together there, my friend had her card number stolen (card was charged there a couple weeks later) and had a hard time getting ahold of anyone after, which wasn't great. Service is cool, not amazing, but somehow I still keep coming back because the vibe wins every time.

The food is really good and the tea choices are excellent. The mocktail was a nice add to help refresh ourselves on a hot day. Overall a nice place to celebrate any special occasion or gather with friends. The parking lot next to the hotel is super easy to park at. All day parking around $10, self park.

I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.

Wow. For years, this is the first time I wish I could get zero stars…read more Reservation: we would have loved to come at 6:30pm. Sold out. So we came at 5:30 - and saw that many many tables open throughout our entire three hour stay. Arriving valet: I felt like a school kid being lectured. Maybe they - the hotel - has an audience that needs to be lectured, I don't. Got our table. At least that worked. Waited 30 mins to get a menu. The - very charming - waitress had put them on the empty table next to us instead. She was friendly. Sadly, she only came to asked if we need something in the second we just had received drinks or food. Whenever we would have possibly wanted to order more: nothing. The food. We were six. We started with Mezze and other shareables. They came. We got silverware for six. Three plates. Any attempt to get more: unsuccessful. Mezzo OK, everything else rather meh. The beef on my burger was killed three times - dry as hell, the fries cold. The view: great. Ambiance other than that: mediocre. The check: $350. Could have been $500, if we were offered more. We were not. 20% tip mandatory. It somewhat explains the inattentive service that includes a tip for a friendly but inattentive service. Leaving: After 20 min wait for our car, the valet attendant gave us the key, asked us to find our car (which was close) and had us serve-serve. Would I go again? Absolutely not. I fear I am not the only one who sees it that way - as half the tables were open - on a Saturday night from 5.30-8:30pm. A shame, as we brought friends and were coming to have a good time.

Friday & Saturday nights, sure, but a Sunday afternoon? No thank you. So, I can only recommend this place if you: 1. want to walk thru a sketchy alleyway parking lot to an unmarked back door of a building. 2. don't want to talk to other members of your party because the club music is so loud you can't hear your server. 3. want to spend a lot of money on drinks, about $20 per. 4. want very minimal food choices. 5. like to use the bathroom in the dark because there are no lights! There are LOTS of other rooftop bars in L.A. that are MUCH better!
