"If you want to know what life feels like inside a luxury condo in West Hollywood, grab dinner on top of The Pendry. The massive complex is a mix of hotel rooms, private residences, and several different restaurants, but Merois, the rooftop restaurant, should be your priority. The indoor dining room offers full views of the Hills, Downtown, and even Catalina when the smog clears. The Wolfgang Puck restaurant isn’t groundbreaking, but the seafood-leaning menu has solid dishes like seared scallops, charred octopus, and other things that taste good as you watch the sunset over the city." - brant cox, arden shore
"Chef Wolfgang Puck is at it again, this time using Merois as a playpen for his broad culinary perspective. Everything on the menu has a California sensibility and Asian accent, including spicy chicken dumplings, crab fried rice, Beijing duck, and more. The Beverly Hills setting, plush interior, and sweeping views add an unmistakable opulence that makes Merois a worthy destination even if just stopping by for a drink." - Rebecca Roland
"Wolfgang Puck’s Merois is offering a dine-in Thanksgiving dinner. While the classic turkey will be available, less traditional options include a dumpling medley, caviar with scallion brioche, and Beijing duck. Dessert options include pumpkin cheesecake and bourbon pecan pie. Reservations are available via Sevenrooms." - Eater Staff
"Your Order: Crispy Crab Salad Yes, this is a $29 salad, but you’re also eating it while sitting on a fancy Sunset Strip rooftop overlooking the city. These things go hand-in-hand. Most importantly though, the salad itself is worth the price point. Mixed tableside by the waitstaff, it’s a loose riff on Burmese tea leaf salad, only here it’s amped up with plump crab meat, crispy puffed rice, and a sweet palm sugar vinaigrette. It’s also quite spicy, thanks to the generous amount of red chiles hiding underneath the mint leaves. It’s a fresh, fragrant, and deeply savory salad that’s ideal for a light business lunch." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, nikko duren
"If you want to know what kind of view you could have if you threw a couple million dollars at a luxury condo in West Hollywood, grab dinner on top of The Pendry. The massive complex is actually a mix of hotel rooms, private residences, and several different restaurants, but you want to head right up to the rooftop restaurant, Merois, where you’ll be treated to views of the Hills, Downtown, and even Catalina when the smog hits just right. The Wolfgang Puck-helmed restaurant isn’t groundbreaking, but its seafood-heavy menu is filled with dishes like seared scallops, charred octopus, and other things that taste great as you watch the sunset over the city.
