    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Ceasar salad with chicken -8/10 (chicken a little bland)

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Introduction: Prior to coming here my family and I dined at…read moreCrustacean and the culinary execution left a favorable impression on me; therefore when Da Lat Rose opened, I know I have to give it a try especially when on the website it states each course on the menu bears a symbolic meaning in relation to the chef's life. Considering there are about twelve courses, I will only talk about the highlights of the evening. Food: Razor clam with herb butter: The clam is fresh and sweet. The herb butter is fragrant and rich but in a delicate, good way. I have tried razor clams at other locations such as on the beach, at Thai and high-end Cantonese seafood restaurants but none comes close to what is offered at Da Lat Rose. At most other places the razor clam's flavor is lackluster and the texture is flaccid. Bamboo rice with chicken oyster: The chicken oyster is smooth, mellow, lightly fatty and very tender. I like the fact the chicken oyster has strong lemongrass flavor [I am a sucker for lemongrass]. The bamboo rice is fragrant and flavorful. If given the choice, this will be my ideal breakfast for the morning. Customize banh mi with mini vegetables, charcuterie, pate, and agave butter: The bread is fresh, chew,, and soft in texture. The charcuterie pairs well with both the pate and agave butter depending on the respective charcuterie meat. The slice of terrine goes well with the pate while the pork loaf pairs well with the agave butter since it's inherently delicate in flavor and the sweetness from the agave butter goes great with it. Get a piece of the bread, vegetable, pate/agave butter and charcuterie all in one bite and there's a sense of balance and wholesomeness to it. The robust earthiness of the pate, the sweetness from the agave butter and vegetables, and the light smokiness from the charcuterie all blends well together without conflict. Red tile fish fried in 400 degrees oil: The puffed up scales reminds me of Sichuan's sizzling rice. The fish, I am surprised, that after being doused with oil that's 400 degrees, the fish is still very tender and wholesome. Garlic noodles with Santa Barbara uni and 24K gold flake: The uni imparts a light creamy texture to the noodles with a hint of sweetness. Normally I don't like uni but the uni that's used at Da Lat Rose is of excellent quality: the uni is neither mushy nor does one see the purple veins that are often seen at other establishments. In terms of the noodles I like how the taste of lemongrass overshadows that of the garlic. Activated charcoal rice with quail egg, and braised pork cheek: The charcoal rice is rich in flavor. The flower petals, I have been told, are actually caramelized thin slices of mushrooms and they taste like crab apples. The braised pork cheeks are satisfyingly fatty, tender, and simply delicious. Dessert: Tapioca in coconut milk with coconut sorbet, rambutan, lychee, mango, and dragon fruit: This dessert is fragrant, light, smooth, and delicate. It embodies the indigenous flavors of Southeast Asia well. Every spoonful, as I'm tasting the fruits, reminds me of the warm and humid climate there and how the juices from these fruits are often the best thirst quenchers when one's in such an environment. Soursop granita: Soursop is a kind of tropical fruit most Asian children will have encountered at some point in their life. It is green and spiky, bearing white flesh with a custardy texture. The flavors and its sweetness slightly resembling guava but for the most part it is hard to describe; however, as soon as one takes a bite out of it he or she will unmistakably know what it is. Ambiance: Contemporary, elegant, and upscale. Service: I like to take this opportunity to thank two gentlemen: Jason and the general manager, Thomas. Both are knowledgeable, candid, and attentive throughout the duration of the evening; they make me feel welcomed throughout the course of the meal. The level of their service and professionalism is hard to come by. Price: Considering the quality of the ingredients that are used, the culinary execution, and the level of service, the price here is reasonable. Overall: In LA there are pho restaurants, banh mi, com tam [broken rice] shops etc. Although these establishments are good at what they do, they each specialize in a different aspect of Vietnamese cuisine. At Da Lat Rose chef Helene An and her staff presents a more comprehensive presentation of Vietnamese cuisine. Da Lat Rose is the first of their kind and they're doing a splendid job.

Entering the restaurant there's an open air patio in the back with lovely greenery and lighting. The decor and service is lovely, but unfortunately the food hasn't improved too much since my last visit a few years ago. While sounding good on the menu, I felt the flavors were lacking especially at this price point. We were pretty happy with the raw items, the hamachi, oysters and scallops. The scallop crudo felt like it should have been served with some chips or some vessel... We were just scooping scallops, cucumber and avocado out with some forks. The pork belly came and was presented well, but the pork belly itself was quite bland. The skin is crispy, most of the flavors came from the pickled carrots and vegetables. The hanger steak was cooked well, but it was way too salty. It was paired with this orange dip with maybe gojuchang?, fried potatoes pieces, roasted turnip, dill and pickled onions...it didn't work and it just tasted like a salty 58$ mess. The crispy brussel sprouts were for sure crispy.. and there was a big bowl of it....but it was way too salty/acidic with no sweetness to balance it. We gave it a second chance since we loved the vibes, but we were quite disappointed again and will likely not be coming back....
