    Key lime pie

    We came to The Rooftop in Beverly Hills with a party of six, and my goodness we ordered so much food. Overall, I'd give this place four stars. The ambiance is beautiful, and the service FANTASTIC. Our server was an absolute gem, I am so sad I forgot it. The Roofop is the kind of spot that feels lively but still relaxed enough to enjoy a long dinner with friends. The food was good, though I've definitely had better for the price. Nothing was bad at all, just not quite as memorable as I expected. The drinks, however, were fantastic. I'm not much of a drinker, but I ordered a martini and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Also, the coffee I happened to order a latte and no joke one of the top coffees I had. Lots of nice photo spots. I would love to come during the day and try their brunch. Between the vibe, the attentive service, and the great cocktails, we had a really fun night. I'd come back again, especially for drinks and the atmosphere.

    HAD AN AMAZING TIME , at this beautiful place. Came for the views and aesthetics but left knowing I'm also coming back for the good service and delicious food. We got : grilled Octopus , AHI TUNA POKE BOWL , and red Thai coconut curry. Everyone that worked there was so kind and relaxed I loved the vibe !

    Lobster burger

    The view did not disappoint, but the food and service sure did. I organized a group (6) dinner on a Saturday night based on a decent lunch experience a few years ago. My guests were disappointed and I felt embarrassed. We were seated shortly after our reservation time. But once seated, no one came to greet us or asked if we needed anything ! We waited a long time (20 minutes at least) before a waitress showed up. She looked very stressed (I saw her rushing back and forth all night so I don't blame her at all) ; she quickly answered our questions and took our order. We first ordered a few cocktails, plus the bread and a guacamole for appetizers. Only four half pieces came with the bread and there were six of us - if I were the waiter I would have asked... or just add a couple more pieces. But the disappointment wasn't just the quantity- the bread was dry and hard! And the fact that it took so long - like 20 minute, to arrive. The guacamole was great - I'd recommend it for a large group. I recommended their lobster burger to my friends and two of them ordered it. Another two got the salmon. It was another 30 minutes before the food came. But both those two dishes seemed good - my guests confirmed. A vegan friend had a hard time finding something she could eat - there was the Greek salad (which was just okay) and the steak salad with tofu instead of beef. She did not eat much. My Double Burger was a disaster - the buns were so soggy that they fell apart on me. I had to drop the burger on the plate and eat it with fork. I have not been to a high end (about $100 per person here) restaurant with such poor service! Out of curiosity I looked around and no workers were smiling... the two assistants who poured water and collected dishes didn't seem happy; our waitress seemed stressed; and when we asked for a box, they didn't offer to box the food for us - they just handed us a box and left. Based on our experience this time, I think perhaps this restaurant should be in Restaurant : Impossible, or some other restaurant rescue show. All that said, this is, after all, the Waldorf. The passage from the entrance to the restaurant is beautiful! Just make sure you find the right elevator, which is to the right of the entrance. And the walkway leading to the restaurant has spectacular reviews of Beverly Hills, hence a great photo spot. Parking is valet only and at this writing is $22 if you tell them you went to the restaurant. Overall, a mixed experience with some pleasant views that disappointing service and food quality.

    Grilled octopus
    Federico L.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Lobster Burger

    This is actually my favorite place in Los Angeles as being somewhat of a native and being a sucker for a view and good food the two don't generally go together. It is the place that I can't wait to take out of town or family and friends. I do admire its view and the way that you can see so many different sides of Los Angeles. It makes me feel like I'm in heaven in heaven with the view and the food. I generally get the lobster burger, which is so juicy and flavorful and something different than I've ever had as I am a big fan of seafood my daughter elected for the mini burgers, which were so cute they were on this kids plate. LA is known for its weather and it's nice to be able to take in the ambience with excellent weather. There is a feeling that I felt back in the paparazzi days of Los Angeles and I get that feeling on that rooftop. Their hotel itself a huge masterpiece. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to dine and enjoy the city I love so much

    The Rooftop Reviews in Other Languages

    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… 

    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!

However, I did have a glass of Prosecco for $18. A kind server came over with a tray of bread and asked if we wanted focaccia or sourdough. I selected focaccia and my friend got the sourdough. The bread paired well with the Caprese, which was a bed of creamy burrata topped with roasted cherry tomatoes. It was delish. The salad was also exceptionally good. Delicate little gem lettuce with pecorino & Mollica drizzled with a light Barolo vinaigrette and topped with white anchovy. I was skeptical of the anchovy but it wasn't salty or fishy, so I ate it. The Mafaldine was very tasty. It was topped with a dollop of burrata. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was molto bene. The Branzino was served on a bed of Sungold tomatoes & corn. It did not disappoint. It was flaky & tender and the tomato/corn mixture was yum. We both enjoyed our selections and agreed that the portion sizes were small for their standard price point. I also wish the cocktails weren't so pricey. However, I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine here. *Paid parking structure adjacent to the restaurant.

    IYKYK this is the #1 Thai spot in LA- Anajak Thai can't hold a light to this place. My husband and…read moreI have brought our families here, we've done delivery countless times, and every single order comes out ridiculously consistent and so good. Our favs our the spring/green rolls (I literally dream about these rolls and that peanut sauce), spicy basil rice and rib eye, papaya salad, pad thai, sea bass and tom kha kai - my sister-in-law says it's the best she's ever had. Save room for dessert too. Their roti and ice cream dessert and sticky mango are dangerously tasty. Really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus the interior of this place is gorg.

    La Ong is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Los Angeles area! The ambiance and overall…read morefeel of the restaurant are intimate, modern, and sleek. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive from the moment I arrived. When I checked in, the host greeted me warmly and had my table ready immediately, even though I had made my online reservation less than 10 minutes earlier. The waitstaff also regularly checked in on me throughout my meal to make sure I had everything I needed. I started with the Thai Limeade, which had a nice kick from the rum and paired perfectly with its zesty, tangy flavor. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which I was initially hesitant about because the dish is topped with an over-easy egg. My hesitation was completely misplaced because they were amazing! If you love garlic, you'll definitely love these sprouts. For my main course, I ordered the Crispy Pork Noodles, and flavor-wise, they were incredible. The crispy pork is paired with vermicelli noodles, watercress, egg, and chili garlic, creating a unique and delicious combination that you really have to try for yourself. Another thing worth mentioning is the portion sizes -- they are HUGE! And I'm definitely someone who likes to eat, yet I still brought home a ton of leftovers while leaving the restaurant completely stuffed. Sure, the prices are higher than what I'm used to paying for Thai food, but you have to take into consideration the location -- Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard -- as well as the fact that the quality of the food is top-notch. In my opinion, the experience and portions make it well worth it. I can't wait to go back because there were so many other dishes on the menu that I wanted to try. If you're a fan of Thai food, I highly recommend checking out La Ong for yourself!

    My experience here was really good! The check-in process was smooth, and our waiter was extremely…read morehelpful when it came to explaining and recommending things on the menu. I really appreciated that he didn't just recommend the most expensive items--he actually suggested some of the popular dishes that people usually order. The tiramisu was excellent. It tasted homemade and fresh, not like something store-bought. The carbonara pizza was also really good--light but still filling. I'd recommend sharing it because, at least for me, the portion was pretty big. I went here on a double date and would definitely most definitely recommend it to you guy who looking for Itilian restaurants to go to it warm and cozy and very welcoming.. Overall, I had a great experience here. The food was delicious, the service was great, and our waiter made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

    A friend took me to Oste for a belated birthday dinner, and since it was my first time there, I was…read morecurious to see what all the buzz was about. We arrived a little early for our reservation, and even though they were busy, they seated us right away outside. Our table was along the walkway, which wouldn't necessarily be my first choice next time, but I appreciated that they got us settled without making us wait around. The outdoor area had a relaxed neighborhood feel, and it was nice being outside while the evening was warm. We started with the Fiori di Zucca. The squash blossoms were stuffed with ricotta and Parmigiano, lightly fried, and served with marinara. They were good, although they weren't the dish I found myself thinking about afterward. That honor goes to the mussels. I wasn't expecting them to be my favorite thing we ordered, but they absolutely were. The broth was flavorful enough that I kept going back to it after the mussels were gone, which is usually my personal test for whether a mussel dish has done its job. We also shared the Pappardelle alla Vaccinara with braised oxtail ragù, Parmigiano, and rosemary oil. The ragù had a deep, meaty flavor, and I liked how the rosemary oil cut through some of the richness. It was a solid pasta, but the mussels still won the night for me. My cocktail was light and refreshing, with cucumber and mint, and worked especially well with dinner outside. Everything we ordered was flavorful, and the meal made for a lovely belated birthday dinner. Parking around this stretch of 3rd can be a little tricky. I ended up finding street parking a few blocks away, but Oste does offer valet, which would have saved me the neighborhood parking hunt. For a first visit, I'm glad I finally got to try Oste. It was a relaxed, flavorful dinner and a really nice way to celebrate a belated birthday.
