    Lobster burger was epic ! No fillers and worth every dollar! Favorite item on the menu
    Jarah G.

    Incredible experience all around. I had the lobster burger--no filler, all flavor, thick and juicy on a perfect brioche bun. The truffle fries were a dream. My daughter and mom loved their chicken shawarma in pita pockets, stuffed to the brim and shared happily. Service was warm and attentive. The view was stunning and definitely a great photo op--grab a spot by the edge for the best skyline vibes. 9/10 recommend.

    We came here for a birthday dinner for our friend. The view was breathtaking, ambience was cozy and elevated. Staff was warm and caring, however we didn't get a birthday candle with our dessert (to be fair we didn't ask for it but most places offer it when they know there's a birthday, a little entitled of us but still heartbreaking). Overall great experience would come back here for a date night to get the black pepper beef stir fry or to have a dessert with tea. Either way I would dress up for nice pictures and bring a jacket (the staff provides a blanket if you don't have a jacket, but can be windy). So refreshing to go to a restaurant in LA that is not just views but also quality! This place is now a classic to me!

    I've been twice, once with work and once for a birthday. Neither times was I impressed with the food. The view is really nice though, which I think is the main selling point of the restaurant. Some of the dishes I've tried: Shrimp pad Thai: do not get. It is basically a pasta (not your typical rice noodles) served with a "pad Thai" sauce, which also was a miss. Grilled octopus: get. One of the few dishes that I made sure to order on both my visits. Octopus is hard to cook right. They did an OK job, and im a big fan of octopus. Beef burger: not bad. Only get it if you are craving a burger. Lobster burger: it's just okay.. too pricey for what it actually tastes like. Hamachi: hard to miss Sashimi: hard to miss. Fish was fresh Tuna poke bowl: not much flavor. Too much rice. Shrimp lettuce wrap: I wish it wasn't breaded shrimp and just cooked instead. Dessert: maybe the best part of the menu. Get the Dubai chocolate and key lime pie. Valet parking available and they validate (not fully, you'll pay $15-$20). They are really strict about their time limit. The same man came to tell us our time was up on both my visits. I would have understood if I saw a line of people waiting but the place wasn't even completely full.

    Located on top of the Waldorf Astoria, the views are absolutely beautiful and it's must go to location even for locals. The food on the other hand was a major disappointment for me and my guests. Everything seemed to lack flavor and just didn't taste good to us. Here's what we ordered... Kumamoto oysters: This was the best thing I ate Guacamole: Came with a few taro chips and vegetables (Guac was okay, but it just didn't go well with taro chips and veggies) Grilled Octopus: rubbery, not fresh Chicken schnitzel: No flavor whatsoever Lobster burger: Bland Red Thai Coconut curry: my guest said it was fine Service was great. Our waiter was attentive. I would come here again with overseas guests because the views are stunning. I will just order drinks and go somewhere else for dinner.

    Came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday. It was very busy for a Thursday. We arrived early to our reservation but were told they were backed up and we'd have to wait. Understandable but disappointing they couldn't accommodate. My boyfriend and I both ordered smash burgers. Our waiter told us it included lettuce and tomato, and when the burgers came, they were nowhere to be found. When we brought up the issue, the waiter was VERY defensive and denied ever saying it. Very weird considering lettuce and tomato are very low on the list of things that would make anyone upset. Anyway, we had some back and forth - which isn't what I expect at this kind of restaurant. I've been here dozens of times and the service is hit or miss but this interaction was very, very strange. Great views, good food, but service was just ok.

    I love Waldorf rooftop, its my favorite Sunday brunch place. One of the best view in the entire los angeles, Their dishes are so yummy and flavorful, The service is pretty good however they can be slow at time.

    Boujee rooftop bar with a beautiful view of LA!   I visited this bar on a Saturday night, so it was nice seeing all of LA's lights from the top floor. The rooftop bar was spacious with bar and table seating. It was clean and there were heaters which provided great warmth since the bar area was located outdoors. The bathrooms were also nice.   I ordered the lychee raspberry cocktail and it was pretty good! It was fruity and not too strong or weak with alcohol. I wish the fruit skewer on top was fresher though.   Our server was pretty friendly, but it did feel rushed since they were trying to close the bar soon when we arrived.   Overall, a good experience here and I would like to come back during the day and to try their foods.

    The bathroom is exquisite

    There's no way the Rooftop would be less than five stars and five star service! My boyfriend and I went twice in 2024 and both experiences were like night and day because, we went once during a summer's day and once during a winter's night. Reservations are easily available through Opentable and parking is exclusively valet. Take the elevator to the top and go nuts looking at that view! Walk by that pool and Cabana...and get seated with a lovely view. For our daytime meal, he got a keto style salmon salad and I enjoyed my exquisite Benedict. Coffee and drinks were amazing, as was the service. For our nighttime double date, we noshed on some Guacamole with plantains before our meals. He had the Chicken Katsu as I got the Chicken Shwarma - served in pita breads presented like tacos! They were a bit dry, but I still enjoyed them. Last were sorbets which are amazing and don't disappoint! Try to make room for these before you go. And I know, I'll be back again!

    We had a remarkable time at The Waldorf Astoria Rooftop for dinner. It was quite an experience with the breathtaking views and excellent service. Food wise, everything was delicious. I can highly recommend the grilled salmon and Dubai chocolate dessert. One of the few places in LA you should really consider dining at. I definitely will return.

    I am not one for reviews but I really have to give a shoutout to Adrian Gonzalez for being so attentive to us and just making us smile and making our date night so memorable. He truly went above and beyond for us. This type of service is so hard to find these days. I would go back just to see him (lol). The restaurant has some incredible views especially if you go during sunset. The food was really good. We got the hamachi, fries, steak, brookie, and some cocktails: raspberry lychee martini and two to mango margarita (10/10 recommend both). Definitely a spot to try out! Especially if you're visiting LA.

    A sunset spectacle worth the ascent SHOUTOUT to my server, RIESE! It's difficult to separate The Rooftop at the Waldorf from its panoramic 360-degree views, nor should you try. The experience is a masterclass in ambiance, an outdoor garden oasis that offers a breathtaking spectacle of Beverly Hills as day turns to night. The cuisine, a thoughtful fusion of Asian and Californian flavors, matches the scenery. A highlight was the Crispy Tuna Rice--a flawless balance of flavor and texture that's become a crave-worthy signature. The beverages, crafted with precision and creativity, are a worthy companion to the view. Service, as one would expect from a Waldorf property, was impeccable. The team operates with a polished efficiency that adds to the effortless sense of luxury. Yes, you pay a premium for the setting, but it's not a view tax; it's the cost of an unforgettable evening where the food, drinks, and vista all perform in perfect harmony. Pro tip: Reserve an "edge table" well in advance to fully capitalize on the sunset views.

    Lu L.

    As I'm sure others have mentioned, the views are gorgeous! Expansive views that go almost all the way around the rooftop, you can't beat it. In regards to food, I had the octopus and sadly it was oversalted. I also had fries and a drink and they were both really good. Service was good as well, I'd probably come back for drinks and the view!

    Ask the Community - The Rooftop

    Do they have music on the Rooftop on Sundays?

    Yes, but no Live Band/DJ.

    Is there a music playing during brunch ? ? Live dj?

    No Live Music for sure - I do not recall if there was any music.

    Can you just walk in without reservations?

    You can! There's bar seating but it may take some time to grab a spot depending upon how busy. It's not impossible but I recommend a reservation

    What would be recommend to wear ? Is a nice tight dress and some jeans with a nice top and hat okay?

    Yes. I have seen many nice tight dresses, and men with jeans and hats. Enjoy the views and the great drinks.

    Is there a $50/person minimum for brunch and dinner?

    I haven't been there for dinner but there is no minimum $/person for brunch.

    Are dogs allowed?

    We brought our dogs, although we were guests of the hotel--not sure if policy differs for non-guests.

    You guy open on Sunday for outdoor dining?

    Yes, they are open on Sundays for outdoor dining.

    How are they operating during COVID?

    Based on my visit, they had great safety protocols. Social distance was enforced, masks were required to enter, staff were wearing masks and face shields, tables were sanitized, and of course it being outdoor helps.

    How do I make a reservation for a birthday celebration of a big party for this weekend?

    Try opentable

    Do you have to be 21 to go to this restaurant?

    No. We took our 8 year old with us for brunch here.

    How much is parking?

    A lot, even with validation I think it was $15-20. If you don't mind walking, I would park in the Beverly Hill public parking meters in the structure behind Da Pasquale (a great Italian restaurant that tastes much better than the rooftop but… Read more

    Is there a dress code?

    Nope

    I have read conflicting info on tables, are the tables only reserved for Hotel guests?

    We weren't guests and just called ahead for a reservation.

    Do they have the bottomless mimosas?

    I don't think so

    Considering bringing my 90-year-old aunt for her birthday but concerned that it might be a bit too cold for her in the evening. I'm sure you have heaters, but still... She is a bit frail.…

    I would not recommend this location in the evening for a 90 year old , it can get windy and cold

    How can i do parking?? Easy?

    Yep. Valet at the hotel. I think it's $10 or $20

    Is a reservation needed for a table of 2 on a Tuesday night?

    Reservations technically aren't needed any day as they do take walk-in people, but it is better to be safe than sorry. The crowds aren't very predictable on any day and I definitely always make reservations

    What is the corkage fee?

    $65 per 750 mL bottle with a maximum of 2 bottles

    Can I order food other then appetizers at the bar/lounge area?

    Yes.. we ate dinner at the lounge area since they didn't have a table!

They happened to have a Sunday Supper special -- a three-course meal with appetizer, main course, and dessert. Perfect for girls like us who don't eat too much, but honestly, it was still more than enough.

The ambience at Marea is beautiful, especially the amber lit bar area. There is both indoor and outdoor seating for dining. The Easter menu had a wide variety of items, and was a 3 course fixed price menu. We both chose the charred avocado toast with lump crab as the starter, and the lobster roll with buratta, basil and eggplant as the main course. Before bringing the first course out, we were given a basket of room temperature regular and chocolate croissants, and strawberry pastries. It was very odd to serve sweet pastries before a savory meal vs a normal bread basket. At least they could have been served warm. The avocado toast had a lot of potential given the generous portion of lump crab, but the heavy char on both the avocado and the bread overwhelmed the dish and the delicate flavor of the crab was lost. The lobster roll also had potential with a light buttery bun, but the addition of a soupy burrata and the other ingredients made the small amount of lobster take a back seat. The menu did accurately describe the dish so perhaps I should have chosen more carefully. Dessert is where the meal really shined. We ordered one each of the 2 desserts offered, the blackberry budino and the lemon raspberry crostada. Wow, they were delicious and almost too beautiful to eat! Kudos to the pastry chef. We received great service, however the table next to us and a few others were complaining that they had been there for 2 hours and still hadn't been served their entire meal. Overall, the food was a 3.5 (5 for the dessert), and ambience and service was 5 stars.

Appetizers we started with the baked scallop special with chorizo, the caviar fries and the caviar dip. The baked scallop was delicious and the cause dip with the salt vinegar chips was fantastic. I could still dip more chips in that dish. I chose between the mussels and the fried fish sandwich. Alex recommended the fish not because it was better than the mussels.
