    Atop the new Hotel Wilshire, it serves an interesting dinner menu -- from sashimi and sunchoke soup to crispy pork belly and filet of beef -- with a spectacular nighttime view of the city. Read more

    Breakfast Gratin: 5 layers that work together really well in a casserole: bisquits, light sausage gravy, bacon, scrambled eggs, hint of creamed spinach. Side salad w excellent mustard dressing. $13

    These guys make a mean old fashioned cocktail with the cherries that were once dried and reconstituted in alcohol. Also the duck confit pancakes were absolutely delicious. Chill by the pool and tan.

    Nice relaxing spot to soak in the sun & views. Food surprisingly good. It’s too awkward to use the small pool since it’s surrounded by diners.

    The roof is beautiful! This was a great find. I didn't mind the slow service. It gave more time to enjoy the view on a wonderful Sunday. Must try the breakfast lasagne & bourbon smash. Amazing!!!

    This is the perfect spot if you want to be at a rooftop bar, but one that's not too crowded. Definitely get the pancake lasagna! Nom nom nom

    Fantastic view of mid-city and the Hollywood Hills. The drinks are expensive but the lunches reasonable for the area.

    Beautiful views all around. Love the cabana-like booths and the firepit. Also appreciate the heat lamps for cooler LA evenings.

    Grab a drink and look out onto the beautiful Hollywood Hills. Come at night to see all the multi-million dollar homes all lit up.

    Terrific place for drinks and a late afternoon bite with a nice view of the Hollywood Hills as well as the mid-Wilshire corridor.

    Mix drinks are made with fresh fruit. Small beer selection, try an Abt. 12 or 8 Ball Stout. Red Breast Whiskey if you're Irish! 

    I got the sweet potato hash which was pretty good. What was disappointing was that the brunch menu online isn't the menu you'll find there. Our waiter didn't know the menu and was very slow. Just okay

    This "roofs" got a bistro-style menu, cabana-side seating, and views so crazy/beautiful, Kirsten Dunst will attempt to sleep with them just to get back at her father. Read more

    Insider tip: burgers here are better than The Foundry's (same chef, ;] wink), however, the the Foundry's grilled cheese is better then here :)

    The food was just ok, and the service wasn't great, but the view is nice. It's a YOUNG scene - brunch included seeing many young skinny women prancing around in their bikinis. Not really my scene...

    Yeah, that was mediocre at best. The bfast pancake was tasty but premade and a little lukewarm. First bagel was old, stale and disgusting. 2nd was better. Bacon was great. Hashbrowns were nicely crisp

    There's a separate bar menu offering snacks like a caramelized onion-and-frisee tart, fried calamari, "baked potato" fries and wings, all of which are under $10. Read more
