   Celebrated a birthday. Nicole was our server and was absolutely wonderful. She had such a great personality and was very welcoming and friendly. It was refreshing for such a trendy place. The noise level is high - so it’s hard to have conversations, but the vibe and decor are well done. It’s a cool spot.

   Horrible experience! Be careful with the valet parking attendants. If you drive an expensive car and want to park your car in the front, they ask you for $100 and get mad when you decline when valet states $15. I complained to the manager and was told that they are not affiliated. We also saw mice in the patio area and took several videos of it. When we informed the manager, we were given complimentary dessert. There was a small hole in the corner of the patio area and next to the indoor area and the mice kept entering and exiting. I freaked out when one of them came very close to my feet!

   Really busy with cheesy/obnoxious tourists and bachelorette parties that killed the vibe but probably not like this always. Food is expensive. Good. But not so special or unique that it warrants the price. Great people watching. Fun energetic vibe.

   LOUD AF!!! DINNER AT 8 PM, IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A LITTLE CONVO. I DIDN’T GO FOR THE FOOD, I WENT FOR THE COMPANY. WE ATE IN SILENCE BECAUSE WE COULDN’T HEAR EACH OTHER ACROSS A TWO TOP. I’LL NEVER GO BACK, TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

   We had to check out this gem as the name is so darn cute and it did not disappoint. Very cute girlie vibe, from the spiral staircase to the beautiful chandelier and girlie bathroom. We ordered chicken meatballs, scallops, some amazing fries and cookies for dessert along with refreshing cocktails. The service and vibe were impeccable !!!

    We had reservations on a Tuesday night to celebrate two21st birthdays. We wanted them to enjoy the evening by celebrating at a TAO Group restaurant. because their decor, food and presentation. We've been to Beauty and Essex in NYC and LV so were excited to try their restaurant in Hollywood. Our res was for 9:30 and were seated at 9:45 pm at a round wood table not a banquet. The room was dark you could not see the balcony, chandeliers, crystals . none of the ambience shown in all the images on their website. it looked like a dark cave no views of the garden nothing lit up.anywhere. he kitchen and bar closes at 10:30 and had to wait until 10pm to place our order for cocktails which cost $22-$25 each. They arrived in a basic glass with no special presentation, no special container, straws, garnishes etc. they looked and tasted like any drink you would get a a local bar. BJ's or Cheesecake Factory would've done a better job. Now the food- a few things were good but the Mexican street corn ravioli were inedible, the fries were scraps of left over fries the longest one was @ 1". Our waitress never came by to check so I asked to speak with the manager. I explained our disappointment in our experience at Beauty and Essex. That this was a special celebration and there are so many great restaurants in the area that have beautiful ambience, great food and presentation. She was very nice and tried to compensate by sending over a round of champagne, crediting us for the fries and a complimentary birthday dessert wheel. She told us to come back and ask for her. We did appreciate her trying, however the fact is we spent $300 to eat in a dark room with overpriced food and drinks with no ambiance. Beauty and Essex looked like they were going closing down. We cancelled our reservations for at the highlight room for the next day another TAO Group venue. I tried reaching out to the TAO Group and Beauty and Essex to tell them about our experience. I am still waiting....

    Had to wait for a certain number of people of our party to get there before being seated, even though we were just waiting on one more person, so that was kind of weird. Also took roughly 45 minutes for drinks to get to the table (our food arrived before our drinks did) Was informed at the bar that it was backed up, so that may have been the issue. Overall though, food tasted amazing and it's a nice vibe / great for photos.

    The food was amazing- the fries were the best I have ever had, the french dip sliders were stellar, the chicken meatballs and the scallops were also so good. The service was attentive and our plates were cleared promptly. It was our first time, and as a result of how great it was in LA, we are going to check out the Las Vegas location where we live.

    We so enjoyed our meal and experience. The front staff was a bit unwelcoming at first. The guard was a bit unfriendly too. However, once in the bar, the service was friendly and enjoyable. The dining hall downstairs was enjoyed too. The waitress know the menu and the food tastes. We started of with pearls from the sea , unbelievable good and ended with sorbet and coffee. A most enjoyable evening. We will be sure to return.

    The host accommodated our request to move away from a very loud table, but that was the highlight of the service. The main server was friendly, but the support team kept diluting our sparkling water with still water and it was off service. They kept messing with the lights and the music volume. It was a very odd experience from a restaurant I used to like pre-2020. Chaotic and poor service at 7:30 on a Friday.

    Went here for dinner for a friend’s birthday. It was great! Food was good. They do a shareable menu. So there’s one dish at a time coming out. At first I thought I wasn’t going to get full, but it was fun to chat and be able to try many of the dishes. They have outside seating which is a little more quiet. There is a bar/lounge in between the outside and inside dining and it can be a little loud for those who don’t want to hear loud music while they’re eating. I enjoyed the music! Mostly R&B and rap playing when I was there.

    We dined outside in the upstairs patio. It was gorgeous and all the food we had was amazing. We had all three courses and I couldn’t find one thing that the store table didn’t love. Definitely splurge for the wonder wheel of deserts!

    The salmon was a little over cooked and dry on the outside. The scallops were delicious . The grilled cheese and tomato soup bites were over salty. The theater special was too much food for four. The watermelon mint lemonade was not well balanced I could only taste the mint. Location was an easy walking distance to the Pantages theater. Overall taste was good but a little pricy based on some of the cooking flaws

    Si vous n êtes pas hype … votre table se trouvera dans la haie à l extérieur sans profiter de l endroit Le service a été lamentable ou les plats arrivaient au gré de leurs envies !!! Les frites avec votre entrée La qualité culinaire était indigne de ce restaurant mais surtout le serveur nous a pris pour des idiots en voulant m expliquer que je n avais pas compris le concept !!! Il peut y avoir des erreurs mais le respect oblige dans ce cas un peu d humilité ….
