This past Friday I attended the Dining in the Dark at the City Club and had so much fun. I was…read moresigned up via Renaissance club and so I was seated with members from the club and we ended up fast friends laughing joyfully as we ate blindly. First, there is parking at the building but it's easy to miss because of traffic but it's a quick enterance and then down a steep tight hill into the lot. Valet is there but I found a self parking spot. For the event our parking was validated which made the parking only $8 which was a relief since parking around the area can be quite pricey! Inside the room all the tables are intimately set up according to how many people were on the reservation, and the room is surrounded by windows where you can see the amazing LA view. I love that according to what you're going to eat you get a color coded candle. Meat is red candle, Fish is blue, and vegetarian is green. When it is time to go dark they announce and you blind fold yourself with a blindfold that you get to keep at the end! There are 3 courses and I will not ruin it by telling you what I ate so you can be surprised. After each course the chef comes in and he tells you what the food was. I honestly expected that because my sight was gone that I would be hyper aware but somehow I guessed wrong about some of the ingredients! It was such a cool experience and the dessert was so good I wanted more. Dining in the dark was such a wonderful experience. If you need date ideas this would be a really great date idea! After the dinner was over, I explored the 51sr floor a little before heading to the elevator and it's really beautiful up there. There are some rooms with a TV and table and chairs and all the windows. In the waiting area there are even binoculars to use. Such a cool experience I would definitely do it again!

Beautiful views from the top of this building! I've typically come here for finance events and…read moreconferences so my perspective is purely from a meetings and workshop POV. Staff is friendly and helpful and the catering is pretty good. I enjoy seeing DTLA from this vantage point as there aren't too many other buildings out there that have similar views. Only thing is that this is valet only. So hopefully you're being hosted for parking because it's pricey!

WARNING: DO NOT RENT SPACE HERE! I am on the board of a national Mother-Daughter philanthropic…read moreorganization. Our local Westside chapter is over 200 members strong. Unfortunately, we lost our long time meeting location in the Palisades fire and were left scrambling to find a new location that could hold such a large group for a few hours on Sundays. Being a non-profit, our budget is extremely limited, and furthermore we were constrained by the limitations of our group's size. When we reached out to the SMBWC and let them know our limitations, they offered us a reasonable discounted price for the venue rental. We thought this would be our new "home" despite the fact that the building manager named BECKY was absolutely rude, refused to answer repeated calls, refused to reply to dozens of our emails. She is the most unprofessional woman I have ever encountered and I have yet to even see her! We were desperate for a location and decided to "tough it out". Unfortunately, BECKY decided to double book and push us up into the mezzanine which is entirely OPEN to the ballroom floor below. Last June she put a FUNERAL in the space below - and never told us! We found out as we walked in to set up for our event! We were holding a celebration and award ceremony while the funeral was going on! They could hear us, and we could hear them! Not to mention, we had numerous problems with our chair and AV requests prior to when Jose (who is the only helpful person) came on board. BECKY decided to double book us again and left us with TWO WEEKS to scramble to find another location for our annual career panel. Again, she refused to return our calls. Disrespectful, rude, and thoughtless. I overpaid by $100 on our last month and had hoped to get our $100 back. She has yet to respond to our emails. Disgusting to do this to an organization that is focused on and committed to helping people in need. And to steal from a non-profit citing that we were getting a severely discounted rate is beyond the pale. We had a contract and she broke it. Thankfully we, have found a new home managed by civilized people who care about their jobs. Becky certainly doesn't. And it's a shame to see that as I called around, one other building owner asked who had done this to us. When I told him he laughed and said, "Ah, you're one of many who have been sucked over by her and we've helped provide space because of her." Nice to know she is in our community doing more harm than good. Shame on Becky!

Located in the heart of Venice, it is of compound of three structures with a plethora of interesting lanterns, lights, collectibles, paintings, sculptures, toys and clocks that make your event that extra special. Plenty of indoor, as well as outdoor seating, your time at any party or reception will be spent just reviewing the wall space, furniture and other cool items in sight. I have been here at least a half a dozen parties and fundraisers and the host is funny, gracious and welcoming. The menu is always inviting ad the main house plays well for any presentation by the host.

They have a large assortment of drinks as well. Perfect for a date night. If I were to come here again, I would just come for drinks and the view.

We spent $125 to be an ice cube on the 73 floor in the Intercontinental. Dress like an Eskimo if…read moreyou plan to eat there because the heat lamps and fire won't make up how cold it is. I saw these poor women with their scantily clad outfits wondering how they'd survive up there. I was dressed with 2 hoodies and still was freezing. **Warning that you will be charged 18% gratuity with no option to remove it. It seems like all of the restaurants on this property have the same 18% gratuity. The food was subpar. We got the spire burger $32 which was the best dish of the night. The ahi poke tostadas $24 were ok, but it was oily and difficult to eat. The Caesar salad $18 was a huge portion but tasted strange. I thought it was ok, but my fiance hated the meal. The sundae was huge $24, with 4 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream with pineapple bits, pumpkin seed brittle, coconut shavings and cherries. We had to send back the cheesecake as it didn't taste appetizing. Service was decent, but the hostess first sat us at a table without a heat lamp which was miserable. Then we asked the wait staff if we could move to a seat near the fire. Literally dinner on ICE!!!!
