    Imagine relaxing on the second floor of the Lincoln Plaza Hotel in Monterey Park, where you can find the brand new terrace lounge/bar/restaurant - The Belvedere. This is not your typical hotel hangout. This is a hip and trendy spot that brings LA style nightlife to your doorstep. You can enjoy the fresh air and the sky view from the open space, or cozy up in the chic indoor dining room. Either way, you will be treated to an international fine dining experience that will blow your mind. The food here is simply amazing. Everything is freshly prepared with quality ingredients and exotic spices that will tantalize your taste buds. You can choose from a variety of dishes, from India inspired thin crust pizza to Chinese classics, from Mexican street food to St. Louis-style spareribs. And don't forget to try their Stuffed Mushrooms and Chicken Tikka, which are out of this world. To complete your perfect evening, you can sip on one of their many cocktails, beer, margaritas, whiskeys, wine, etc. They have something for everyone, whether you prefer a classic drink or something more adventurous. And if you need a break from the party, you can head to the dedicated smoking area, where you can enjoy a cigarette or a cigar in peace. The Belvedere is the place to be in Monterey Park, whether you are a local or just visiting the neighborhood. It's a hidden gem that will make you feel like a star. Don't miss it. Bring a date, best friends, or your family along.

    chalky!

    We tried this place the other night. Thought it'd be a nice change from our usual local SGV joints. Boy were we disappointed! First off, it was dead. Literally the only ones there on a Friday at 7:30. Think we surprised even the workers. Secondly, and my biggest issue, was the food. Check out the photos. We're talking Digiorno frozen pizza, frozen taquitos, and frozen fried zucchini. Mind you, listed were priced at $25, $15, $14. My girls old fashioned was $20. Jokes on us I guess. I got hosed! Also, a request for water was met with "oh we're sorry, our tap water has too much salt in it, so we only serve 8 types of bottled water". We're looking to add to our list of SGV spots! Unfortunately The Bel won't be making the cut! Where's Gordon Ramsey and the Kitchen Nightmares crew when you need them the most?!

    Tables and scenery

    Small lowkey rooftop bar in Monterey park, great service, never anyone here. Opens at 5pm but worth it with the fire pits and the vibes, definitely bring a jacket might be a little windy sometimes but all around recommended! If yall were wondering it used to be a different restaurant before COVID, new owners now and new name ! Come check it out! Didn't try much of the food but HUGE selection of drinks, just about anything you want they have !

    It's a great addition to the area. Very clean and great service. The menu has a little bit of something for everyone. Will be back.

    I had my 50th birthday celebration at Blush and had an amazing time. The venue was super nice and…read morethe decor had my guests loving the atmosphere. The Manager Jin was so accommodating and friendly. His bar staff kept my guests happy and they were very welcoming. I would definitely recommend it and I would host another event there.

    UPDATE. We rescheduled our Vow Renewal from May-Dec, which seemed easy enough to do at first when…read morecommunicating with Chris, who was going to be onsite manager for our event. It proved more difficult when dealing with the owner Scott. I'll start by saying the end result was us rescheduling at the same rate that we booked & our event went well, however it wasn't without hiccups. When rescheduling, we were specifically instructed by Scott to cancel our booking in Peerspace & rebook the new date. That's when issues started. Before cancelling I mentioned how Peerspace won't refund our full amount & Scott replied that whatever isn't refunded will be credited toward the new date. That didn't happen without us constantly reaching out via text, email, & Peerspace. When you request a date on Peerspace it's pending review/approval from Blush, however it charges you immediately. Since we opted for the payment plan that required about half down & remainder later, we were waiting on our refund to book the new date. It never came. When we were finally able to have a phone call with Scott, I couldn't get one word in the entire time he was mansplaining the world of business. He was very patronizing & I swallowed my pride because we just wanted a resolve & to not lose the deposit. I asked very clearly whether he was going to uphold our agreement. He did, but under the condition that we pay the remainder of our balance upfront in good faith to them. We did & that was that. Thereafter, it was back & forth whether Chris would still be working our event which Scott said he was. Chris was the saving grace of Blush in our opinion. Customer service & how you treat people is king, so it put our hearts at ease. But not for long, since it was changed later to Jin. Getting Jin to respond was difficult. We requested a final walk through with our coordinator about a month before our event. Jin told us he wasn't feeling well & wasn't present for most of the walk through. So we asked questions via email instead. I specifically mentioned a clean facility is important to us. The place just wasn't as polished as we first saw it. He was responsive only after I'd send text follow ups. The week of, not at all. I was waiting on confirmation about our drink selection which I never got & we just hoped it would all work out the day of. Day of our coordinator arrived first. The bathrooms were clean but the bar, cocktail tables, mirror hallway, & front door were full of fingerprints and sticky as if not cleaned from a previous event. We were told there would be 2 staff & that they'd be able to help us move cocktail tables. We weren't aware one of those people would be Jin & he wasn't helpful at all. He completely ignored our coordinator & aunt, but jumped to help our DJ with the sound system. We can only conclude it's because our DJ is a man & as a same sex female couple that leaves such a bad taste in our mouths. Our coordinator & aunt ended up cleaning everything with the one rag & spray bottle he gave after we repeated asked. Coordinator, wife, son, & I moved the heavy tables/ottomans. The drinks didn't taste like our selections. But the worst part was that he started charging our guests upon arrival. My wife & I stepped away to change our clothes. We were there 1.5hrs before start time & Jin never approached us or our coordinator for our card. He also had our itinerary ahead of time and met our coordinator. FYI on top of booking fees, you're also required to use their bar service for ALL drinks alcohol/nonalcohol which is included info on Peerspace. We agreed we'd cover the required minimum of $2500 & once we reached that amount it would turn into a cash bar. Our guests approached us confused about the bar so my wife personally went to Jin & asked why people were being charged, to which he responded "I couldn't find you guys." They immediately include their tip, which we weren't aware of, so drinks totaled to about $2100 w/ the remainder being tax/tip. They continuously ran out of cups & had zero cups for the water dispensers. We were refilling used water bottles to give to the kids. My aunt & cousin were busing tables. Bartenders didn't care to stay quiet or hold drink orders during vows. Every video we have of our vows is them shaking drinks & slamming glassware. There were good things too, kinda. It wasn't communicated to us that the front bathroom was for staff only & we had a outfit change planned, so after first saying no, Jin ended up letting my wife & I use the front bathroom. Also him assisting our DJ resulted in the music going well. It's sadly overshadowed by all the other things that needed improvement. It comes down to a lack of customer service & professional decorum, because the venue itself is beautiful. We gave a final 3 STARS because everything came together. Those missing components are just so vital. A work day for them is literally someone else's most important day that they're choosing and paying to celebrate at Blush.

We came in around 6:30. They had just opened but the atmosphere was ready! Dark and moody with candles on the table, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and catch up. Jeremy was our bartender and he was fantastic. Super chill and friendly and made us some amazing drinks based on a few preferences. Our "bartenders choice" drinks were amazing, so much so that our "drink to end the night" turned into two drinks and some appetizers. We ordered taquitos and mozzarella sticks. Overall all three of us ladies loved this place! We definitely plan to be back! Let Jeremy make you a drink - you won't regret it. He makes them custom for you and he definitely knows what he is doing. *they do ask for a password which you can request on their website... but I would do that 24-48 hours before you plan to visit. We didn't have that days password and simply asked the front door.

You will need to reach out to the bar via email to get the password, but you can also get a hint from the person at the front. We got our hint and successfully guessed it, gaining entry. The interior has dark lounge lighting with tables throughout. I got the gotham standard manhattan ($16) which was strong and spirit forward. We came right when they opened so it was very empty, but the bartender mentioned it gets really packed and lively on weekends. If I came back and was able to guess the password I'd stop by when it's more energetic for a different vibe.

It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.
