The 15 Best Restaurants to Eat in Hollywood, Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Any visit to the Hollywood Roosevelt feels like time traveling back through history. The hotel was the site of the first Academy Awards and the former residence of Marilyn Monroe. The property offers excellent on-site dining including the stunning French restaurant Shirley Brasserie. The menu feels classic enough to make sense with the hotel’s oeuvre, with dishes like escargot, French onion soup, and steak frites." - Rebecca Roland

Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: April 29 - Eater LA

"Last week, Shirley Brasserie chef de cuisine Craig Hopson, a fine dining vet who’s worked in New York City, launched a Tale of Two Cities — an ongoing dinner series starring guest chefs from around the world. The latest dinner featured chef Yuu Shimano, the Japanese-born, French-trained chef of Michelin-starred restaurant Yuu in Brooklyn best known for serving roulades and pastry-covered roasts. Shimano served a meltingly tender, salt-crusted lamb saddle over a silky-smooth puree. A lamb and clam reduction studded with aonori (seaweed laver) gave the dish a tint of Japanese flavor, while ginger and pine nuts nestled into the meat lent some texture. Unfortunately, this dish won’t be repeatable outside of Brooklyn. Upcoming events will include chef Mads Refslund from Noma and Ilis in May, Thomas Troisgrois from Brazil’s Olympe in October, and Sylvestre Wahid from France’s Restaurant Sylvestre in November. Even with LA’s immense traffic, it’s easier to get to Hollywood than travel to France or Brazil." - Eater Staff

11 Hot Brunch Spots to Check Out in Los Angeles

"Swanky Shirley Brasserie hides inside the timeless Hollywood Roosevelt hotel serving French-inspired fare like crab cake benedict, duck confit hash, a baked pork belly galette, and of course a croque madame with frisee salad. Those who want something sweeter can order up brioche French toast served with banana, bacon, and caramel. A showstopping option is the Pedestal of Pastries with cruffins, fruit tarts, danishes, and more for $9 a person." - Eater Staff

I had Thanksgiving dinner at Shirley Brasserie and it was a wonderful experience. I was flying solo for Thanksgiving as I was visiting from overseas and was able to nab a seat at the bar. The set menu was $95 and there was SO MUCH food. And all of it was good. The bartenders were fun and engaging, the servers were friendly and efficient. It’s a lovely setting and being able to see the open bar and kitchen makes for a very lively environment without being noisy.

We chose this historic place to celebrate our anniversary and Shirley did not disappoint! Anastasia’s energy is everything! She hooked us up beautifully with a tour of the kitchen area and sat us in the best booth she calls ‘The Mogul Table’ We had the best server, Merideth, whose upbeat and genuine energy was fantastic. This was a well paced meal and worth ever penny. The Rioja was one point and the beef tartare who the very knowledgeable Victor delivered with intelligence and love for cuisine. Also, very important to note that this restaurant won an award - one of the top 25 dishes in LA - the one and only Beef bourguignon! This is a must for your evening and well curated Hollywood experience! Thank you for everything Anastasia - you made our anniversary incredible, Merci!

A phenomenal experience at Shirley Brasserie. We were there celebrating my mother's birthday and could not have been any better. We were greeted by Anastasia with an infectious energy and knew we were celebrating a birthday. She gave us a quick orientation of the restaurant highlighted by their open kitchen (I noticed her doing this with all guests). The cooking stations were impressive and every associate had a smile on their face. Meredith assisted us for our meal and gave us some suggestions including their Sunday supper fried chicken. We took her up on a few times and were not disappointed! The seafood tower was fresh and presentation was exceptional. The steak frite was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the spaghetti was generously portioned with seafood. The octopus was flavorful which is not the easiest to achieve and was cooked perfectly. Firm and not rubbery. The fried chicken was juicy and the accompanying potato salad and slaw was refreshing. Their Beverage director, Joey was there from the beginning touching tables and lending a hand. Lastly, we had the most decadent chocolate cake which satisfied my mom's sweet tooth. If you're visiting Hollywood area, make sure Shirley Brasserie is at the top of your list for a superb dining experience.

Our main purpose we were at the Roosevelt was for the La Cage show. Which was excellent & I highly recommend. The resturant was out of convenience. Nice place! Service was kind of slow due to the fact that there were more runners than servers. The French onion soup was amazing! The Shirley salad i would go back for all the time. The escargot needed help. The pork chop needed flavor. The mojitos should not be considered their specialty.

Visited Shirley Brasserie on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles and had a delightful experience. We started with the French baguette and butter which was absolutely excellent, followed by the pâté en croûte with olive that was really good, and the canard confit was impressively good as well. The service truly made our evening perfect, from the warm welcome by the host at the entrance to the attentive service provided by our waiter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality French cuisine!

Great food in this beautiful restaurant, previously known as Barish. Same okace with classic design and identity kitchen. The steaks were great . The Baggett was warm and crunchy. The risotto was delicious, and the desserts were yummy. Coffee was not the beat. Good service, but can improve a bit. Shows they just started.

The workers were nice. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the crudo and the lobster pasta was okay. I liked their beef bourguignon although it took a bit to come out. The inside of the hotel is nice- it’s all the way inside to the left once you come in.

Excellent food and customer service. I highly recommend the branzino and the seafood platter. And our server was very kind and comped a birthday dessert though its not required.

We came here for a family dinner and it was great night. We had reservation so getting seated was a breeze, with plenty of valet parking. There is a lot of history at this hotel property. For starters we did the Caesar salad which was creamy and delicious with slices of anchovies and shredded Parmesan. We also got the beet salad, onion soup and pate, the beet salad was very refreshing with light vinaigrette dressing, the onion soup was so cheesy with a chunk of soaked bread in soup full of onions.The pate was very flavorful in both meats and seasonings perfectly salted. The pork chops were large and very juicy with a light pork flavor with the light char giving that smoked aroma. The oxtail smelled wonderful and tasted even more amazing with sweet caramelized onion aroma and the most smoothly rich mashed potatoes I've ever had. This was so gooodd!! But the end we were stuffed but snuck in room for dessert with a rich and sticky caramel bread with vanilla ice cream. What a great dinner!! Hope to come back again soon!

Well, we absolutely adore the decor here but, what a disappointment with the food! 3 of us went on Saturday night at 6:15. We ordered the Bone Marrow and Chicken liver mousse for apps, as well as a French onion soup. For mains we ordered the Duck & Fava bean Risotto , Roasted Duck confit and the 1/2 rotisserie chicken. Additionally a side of asparagus for the table. The waitress ( was wonderful) she asked about allergies, which one of us has. We told her and she assured us it would be no problem. The Apps came... the soup was perfectly fine. The bone marrow..COVERED in parsley which is what the allergy is...ugh, my friend with the allergy ate the bread that accompanied the apps but the bread was very thick and very greasy. Why would you serve thick greasy bread with apps that are already fat heavy?? Additionally her chicken came and had PARSLEY in the sauce. Ugh again. They apologized and remade the chicken. It took over 20 mins and the food was already taking a long time. She ended up taking it to go. They also did not take it off the bill!!! NEVER AGAIN ... ( the risotto was "ok" but the duck confit was so salty I couldn't eat it the asparagus was so smokey we couldn't finish it. We left hungry) what a disaster.

Th​is French California restaurant is elegant. White tablecloths, dark woods, lots of natural light as well as gorgeous ​ambient light​ing. Th​is was my ​first time at Shirleys and ​it was for a girls brunch​ get together. The dinner menu is impressive and Chef Craig Hopson ​has a long ​culinary pedigree but we were there for Sunday Brunch so I can only speak on th​at particular menu. There was 5 of us and everything we ordered was enough for all of us to try a few bites plus take some goodies home. ​The service was on point from the hostess to the chefs. Our waitress was very accommodating. With a table of 5 there's always something needed from tableware to napkins to sauces. We also had cocktails from the cocktail bar that sits parallel to the open kitchen. So as you walk into the restaurant-open kitchen to your right and beautiful bar to your left. Our bartender offered some great recommendations which paired well with what we ordered. Can't say enough good things about how friendly and helpful the entire staff was. Huge shoutout to Executive Chef Rigo also, for the hospitality and giving us a little tour of the iconic hotel after brunch. Here's what we tried. Favs and recommendations have an asterisk. Donut Tower Pedestal of Pastries Acai Bowl *Challah French Toast Avocado Toast *Fried Chicken and Biscuits *Salmon Flatbread *Duck Confit *Skillet Baked Omelette TIPS: Parking can be a bit tricky - I recommend valet. They do validate valet for Shirley's guests. Make sure to wander around the Roosevelt Hotel after your meal. There's a lot of history there. You can even pop into one of the other 8 restaurants inside the Roosevelt for coffee and dessert. The pool area is under construction but should be open by early April 2024.

Shirley Brasserie in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel was the logical place to dine after seeing "La Cage" at the Cinegrill Theatre located just one floor below. Added bonus is 15% off at Shirley when showing tickets attending La Cage.  Given a warm welcome & led to our table by the friendly receptionist. Interior reminds me of 1930's classic Hollywood regency décor on a more spare, tasteful, understated style with a long bar.   Menu is short & concise. French bistro, raw bar, woodfire grill.  0) Ordered bread service with cultured butter & crunchy, warm baguette was a good start.  1) French Onion Soup was traditional beef broth, caramelized onions, slice of french bread, capped by oven melted gooey gruyère cheese.  2) Le Pâté en Croûte: Closer to a Terrine of rough minced pork, pistacchios, mushrooms that was underseasoned, covered by a tasteless, slightly spongy pâte brisée pastry that doesn't have a buttery, yeasty, bready perfume.  It looks as though it took much time dedicated to producing a finished, forgetable product.  3) Cassoulet Toulousain is a mélange of Haricot Tarbais beans stewed in a hearty tomato sauce, stock, garlic, thyme, black pepper along with pork. Confit de Canard duck cooked in its own juices & fat was placed on top. Traditional Toulousian sausage was not included.  This is a stick to your ribs, heavy, winter dish that borders on hearty peasant food placed in a warm, cast iron poêle/skillet. It was appropriate for a late November evening.  0-3a) Verzier Syrah suggested by the waitress did the job. Dark fruits, juicy, sweet modulated by acidity & touch of tannins. But lacking vibrancy.  We didn't finish the 2nd baguette so our kind, table helper from Central America wrapped the bread in the shape of a peacock using aluminum foil. He added a pleasant, gentle charm to conclude our late night supper.  Skipped dessert since I wanted to try the Spiked Night Owl Shake at casual 25 Degrees, disguised as a diner, again in the Roosevelt.   Dining at Shirley is pleasing. Décor is posh enough. The food could use a little more fine tuning emphasizing more Umami & tighter grasp of how different ingredients can create more exciting taste contrasts. 3+ stars.

I have always wanted to go to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and had never been and decided to choose this restaurant. The service from the first moment I called to make a reservation to dining in this beautiful restaurant was amazing. The ambiance is absolutely stunning and is definitely old Hollywood style! We had a fabulous time and the food was absolutely amazing but one thing I would suggest and this especially goes towards management or when you are making a reservation is to let the guest know that you are a cashless restaurant. When we were ready to pay for the bill, they would not allow us to pay cash at all. My friend was visiting from Italy and only had cash on him and thankfully I had a card but that is not the point. When you have a beautiful establishment like this, my suggestion is definitely inform the guest that is making a reservation what your rules are as far as paying for the bill. Looking forward to dining there again!

We decided to come here on a double date before going to the Catalina jazz club to see Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band live. At first, when I saw the Yelp ratings I was a little bit hesitant but we decided to give the place a try. We were pleasantly surprised as the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish was great and we especially liked the mussels, escargot, fresh bread and French onion soup. The food was great but the service was slightly slow and a bit subpar. After we got seated no one came to take our order or check on us for a long time. Also our waiter was friendly but couldn't really hear us very well so we had to keep talking really loudly and repeating ourselves so he could understand us. We love the ambiance here with the classic architecture in the Huntley hotel as well as live music in the lobby lounge. If you want to enjoy drinks or food from Shirley's Brassiere you can also grab a table in the lobby lounge. Good times and yummy food!

Dear Shirley Team, I write this fresh-off my experience of being turned away at The Roosevelt. Despite my CONFIRMED RESERVATION (see attached), your lauded Shirley Brasserie is CLOSED ON TUESDAYS?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! How hard can it be to restrict your operating hours on RESY for reservations??? Why would you ever accept AND CONFIRM a reservation for a night that the restaurant is closed??? Ugghhhh.... is this laziness? Incompetence? Or is this some ill-advised marketing ploy to show availability when there isn't any??? Grrrrrrrr To your rescue came a lovely catering manager. At least she explained the disconnect and apologized profusely for it, but had no explanation for why this RESY cluster-F couldn't be fixed. My daughter's sixth grade class could fix this. Shame on you! Uggggghhhhhhh

My husband and I decided to spend a weekend in Hollywood and reservations were made at Shirley! The restaurant is named after Shirley Temple and offers French cuisine. Tonight was opening night and they Nailed It!! The setting is beautiful and calming....perfect for a night out. There was not one detail not thoughtfully attended to. Our server, Blithe, was hospitable and caring. In fact, we had phenomenal attention from the moment we arrived. We do not often treat ourselves, so I'm grateful that when we made this effort we were met with excellence. We were immediately comfortable and the menu was well explained. We had a lot of wonderful choices. The charcuterie and salmon tartare were the perfect choice for us. The serving sizes were perfect for 2. We ordered just enough and still had room for dessert. The lemon meringue tart reminded me of my Aunt Helen's pie, and maybe even a tiny bit better. Again, every detail was amazing. Shirley Brasserie will not disappoint and I highly recommend you treat yourself. We saw many different groups. Girlfriends chatting, couples at the bar, friends enjoying themselves and more celebrations. Come and enjoy yourselves, whatever the occasion!!

i love french spots and always on the lookout for a new place to try. was also excited to step foot in the iconic Roosevelt Hotel. nights when they have events, the entrance to restaurant is hard when they block certain areas off in lobby. we were told to go up stairs, down elevators and etc. i wish they had their own entrance off the street side. the best thing we had was the chicken liver mousse! it needed extra bread, but omg sooo good. the least thing ill order again was the escargot just because its more herby than buttery/cheesy . just a personal preference. i like mines with some butter garlic etc. price: we got two cocktails, two appetizers, two entrees, two cokes, one side of fries and one dessert. (wish tbey did birthday dessert here) bill including tip was $240.

Tasted Shirley Brasseire's cuisine for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed their delectable food and cocktails. From appetizers to mains, everything was delicious and expertly prepared! Highly recommend for not just the excellent ambiance but also the exceptional quality of service (thanks to Bryce!)

Service and ambiance were good, but the food was mediocre. My husband and I had the bone marrow, beef oxtail bourguignon, mussels and a french onion soup.. none of our dishes wowed. The marrow was buried and hard to enjoy, the mussels were small and flavor was bland, my husband reported the soup was good, but the "prized" bourguignon was especially disappointing as the beef was tough, not what you'd expect.. we were with friends and just wanted to enjoy our evening out, but seriously over priced and over rated.

Thanks for your feedback. I did a tasting while it was the Barish and yea, my lack of review should said it all. Don't expect any friendly faces upon your arrival thru Shirley on their entrances accessible and only advertised within the confines of its motel property ... The staff behind the bar that were unwelcoming and uninviting from behind this less-than- mediocre "historic" Hollywood venue - a menu doesn't improve avenue - promoting and exuding quality vs abusive attitudes, quality control/assurance, and in traditional Hollywood standards, this place needs more than a facelift, not a name or some overpriced European diner menu of unworthy hodge-podge at Michelin prices. I'm almost sure if you need to score, the bar manager with the hungry face will oblige.

We were in Hollywood, celebrating my husband's birthday and decided to eat in the hotel. We ordered the Sunday supper and were glad we did. Very nice. The service was nicely paced, not too obtrusive but no delays. The restaurant has an elegant, old school vibe, making the meal quite pleasant

I came here with a group of people for a birthday dinner in December. The food was amazing - I mean really amazing, one of the best meals I have ever had. We did family style and tried many dishes - the bone marrow, caesar salad, seafood platter, whole chicken and oxtails were some of the stand outs. I would definitely return to try some more items. Five stars for the food! The service however was mediocre at best. I don't feel the need to go into details because I want to focus on how amazing the food was, but if Shirley is striving to be an amazing restaurant in LA, they need to step up their game as far as service goes. I was not in charge of the bill so I do not know if gratuity was automatically added, but it seemed like the servers didn't feel the need to give excellent service because they knew their tip was guaranteed and it didn't matter. The hostess and (female) manager were both fantastic, however. I debated on how many stars to give but decided to keep it at 5 because, like I said, the food was exceptional. Great job, Chef!!

Very unprofessional. We made 5pm reservations about 2 weeks in advance with a confirmation. See pic. Planned on a nice Anniversary dinner before the show, La Cage at 7pm. The night before our reservation, we get a cancellation. See pic. I called to ask the reason why. I was told by the front desk The Restaurant, Shirley Brasserie got a last minute private party booking for 100 people. So basically they bumped us out. Unbelievable!

Salads were fresh and not overpowered with dressing; the oxtails were well-seasoned and fork-tender; the branzino was deboned, and the bread was fresh and hot. I have never had Brussel sprouts with pomegranate before they were delicious. Our server was Bryce, he was excellent; very personable and knowledgeable. He answered our questions and was happy to make recommendations. We all agreed that we need to come back with dates.

This was quite the unexpected, and pleasant surprise, given its location is not particularly known for fine dinning. Located inside the Historic Roosevelt Hotel, this elegant, yet warm and welcoming Brasserie has everything you'd expect from a French kitchen. Our server, Bryce was quite the host, and the rest of the staff where all professional, helpful and friendly. We had the Branzino, steak and frits, seafood platter, mashed potatoes, freshly baked baguette... it's was feast! And everything is well seasoned and exquisite. Open flame in the kitchen for that good southern French type grilling of fish and steak. They have a vast offering of wines. I mean vast. If you love wine, you will mot be disappointed. I highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this place, from the warm ambiance to the gorgeous decor, from the spot-on service to the white tablecloths, from the inventive cocktails to the excellent wine list. And then there's the food, which is as good as anything I've had in my many trips to Paris. Every dish was perfectly seasoned with intriguing flavors and unusual combinations (like bone marrow with uni, which was stellar). Yes, it's pricey (and they do automatically add an 18% gratuity for the hard-working staff), but for a special night out it's worth every penny. I only hope that Shirley can manage to thrive in this location when a string of other concepts have not done well in this hotel venue. (The space has been home to at least five restaurants since I first came here many years ago.) This one is a keeper and we will be back again soon! Highly recommended.

Amazing tasting food and impeccable service that Hollywood has to offer. Shirley Brasserie is a must try place in Hollywood .

The baguette was the highlight -- very warm and tasty. The Boeuf Bourguignon was tough and chewy much like a diner steak -- all bone and no meat. The escargot was shriveled and tasteless. Think of this restaurant as a traditional steak house that lacks good food and ambiance. They need to be more forthcoming about the 18% charge for the tip. They set the signature receipt on top, concealing the itemized copy on the third receipt placed on the bottom. Sorry for leaving a negative review.

Came for the NYE Pre Fix menu. The hosts and servers were so friendly and kind. Really enjoyed the ambiance and decor, but the food was not enjoyable. The Lobster "Bisque" was room temperature with no cream to it, comparable to Campbells soup, it also had raw vegies in it. The "salad" was a mound of cold cuts and four actual piece's of lettuce. Nearly every alternative we were brought, was disappointing. The mushroom tart was tasty though.

Yelp
Staff and the hostess were nice, service a little slow, but it was holidays so understandable. The food on the other hand was nothing memorable. Ordered the ribeye, duck confit, chicken liver pate, and a kids pasta. The ribeye and duck confit were pretty salty. For the price, I would avoid the ribeye. You get a piece of ribeye, hollandaise ( mine was broken) and 3 fingerling potatoes. The duck confit and the sides that came with the duck were all so salty. Kids pasta was just boiled salted noodles. The only item that was good, was the chicken liver pate. Had high hopes but fell really short.

Absolutely flawless!!! In this impeccable order: 5 stars Valet 5 stars Exceptional, if not gifted, hostessing from Annastasia! 5 stars Food 5 stars Service And another 5 AGAIN for those awesome Valet guys!! People this is old-school Hollywood glam wrapped up, and gifted to us yet again, in a gorgeous new package, where every little detail is on everyone's mind! You can feel it...it's palpable. I cannot believe this place was not packed with people waiting all over the stunning, very cool lobby. We're all scratching our heads on this! Great glass of Prosecco to toast the birthday lady. Lovely brunch filled with all of the things you love. Linens, lighting, all of it EXACTLY what you want at daytime. Full bar without any hint of the pick-up scene. Just so awesome - all of it! We had classic breakfasts, avocado toast and a side of Confit-style potato hash idk what they call it but OH MY! Really good, very smokey bacon and grilled, serious hunks of bread took it over the top. Sadly they were out of their donut tower but we were too full to even enjoy it! Next time!! Great job you guys!! Word to the wise: GO!!!

Oof. What a weird experience. Food was 5 stars. Service was absolutely terrible. We were one of two parties in the restaurant. A single woman was sat next to us, in a shared booth style seating. Ridiculous since it was an empty restaurant. When our food arrived, the poached eggs were over cooked. The server assistant did a great job checking on us and removed the plate for a replacement. However, our server was no where to be found. We ordered a second aperol spritz and another bottle of still water. The spritz sat at the end of the bar and was only brought back after I got up and went to retrieve it while our server was talking at the host stand for a long period of time. We never received our additional bottle or water, but was charged (also for sparkling and not still...). The manager, who sat the woman next to us in an empty restaurant, came and spoke with us. She did remove the crab cakes for the over cooked eggs from the receipt (which we said was not an issue and was not necessary), but was also made aware that we never had the second bottle of water brought over. We decline the water at this point as we were finishing our meal. Then, our server finally came back and let us know there was automatic gratuity. Ridiculous. We asked they remove it, and cash was given to the manager to be split between the server assistant, food runner and chef/cook who prepared our meals. Upon leaving, the manager gave us a coupon for 20% off our next visit. Great move on her end, but a bandaid doesn't fix bad service. Especially since the coupon is expired... Going over our receipt, we also paid for an additional bottle of sparkling water we never received. All in all, we'd come back for the food- but the service was by far one of the worst I've ever seen and experienced.

We visited Shirley Brasserie, in the Roosevelt Hotel, today for brunch. Eater.com had listed its brunch as a top 10 brunch in LA. After my visit, I would not argue. The hotel is of course iconic and part of the charm is the facility itself. The restaurant was slower on a Sunday brunch than it should be - caddycorner across from the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Service was impeccable. Our server Chris was charming, knowledgeable, and very attentive. The brunch menu has comfortable items such as steak and eggs, but it also had a gatelle which was really delicious. The pastry tower is fun. At $36 dollars, it came with about 10 small pastries, each of which were really delicious. Yes, for 2 it was far too much, but we took the extras home. My wife had the crab cake Benedict. It was delicious. A pricey experience, but we felt it was well worth it. This is a great operation in a great venue, and it deserves to be supported. Visit Shirley Brasserie - we will definitely visit again, next time probably for dinner.

booked the family in for thanksgiving dinner, a bit nervous as I have had a couple of bad experiences with large restaurants on these occasions. Shirley Brasserie was perfect in every way, the menu, which we knew would be smaller catered for everyone, the food, service and ambience was wonderful and a great wine menu as well. We were never rushed in any way, the dessert trolley passed our table numerous times and we were offered more desserts each time it passed. We ended our visit with after dinner drinks in front of the fireplace, great start to the holidays. Will definitely beheading back for the full menu!

18% gratuity added without prior heads up. Overpriced drinks. $30 for an old fashioned lol. Raw beef tartare that needs a lot more acid. Pouring champagne into a used glass before it's even empty. $300 for two rounds of bad drinks and two "entrees". Probs stay away.

So the hotel manages the restaurant, which means above all else, hospitality is priority. All staff were A-game, no question. But the food...meh. You know, it's food for hotel guests and not a destination for Angelenos. I got the $132 royal seafood tower. The four shrimp were the best part, perfectly cooked, probably in a court bouillon. The four oysters were second best, briny and a little irony. There were two crudos, one was decent and the other didn't use good tuna. There were four chilled scallops with salmon roe, which were average. There were two king crab claws, pre-cut to make it easier to access the meat, which were good but nothing special. And then a half lobster body which was a bit over cooked and bland. In the shell, they had squirted in some wasabi mayo, which I would not have been able to guess what it was because it was thick and bland. In fact, all of the accompanying sauces were heavy and bland. Had they served clarified butter, that would have made more sense with the lobster and crab. Also a finger bowl would have been thoughtful. The restaurant adds 18% gratuity and so the tower plus a bottle of Evian was $182. If you're a hotel guest, you're paying for convenience but if you live in LA, it's not a restaurant to seek out the way Barish was.

We went to Shirley Brasserie for our anniversary, and they did NOT disappoint! We started with the bone marrow w/ uni, and it was cooked to perfection; not greasy in the slightest. What an interesting combination too, never had anything like it! We then had the lamb ragout rigatoni and pork chop: the lamb was like butter it was so flavorful. The pork chop had the right amount of char and yet, as juicy as it could possibly be. They even surprised us with some rose to celebrate! I would absolutely come back here in a heartbeat:)

Fantastic food and service. We were there for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to go back. Rich, dark atmosphere.

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here. The restaurant is beautiful (and of course, the Hollywood Roosevelt is incredible), the staff is knowledgeable, attentive and friendly, and the food is amazing (we had the pâté, cassoulet, branzino, green beans, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - all excellent). Will definitely be back!

The decor is beautiful. It is a beautiful surrounding. The service was incredibly slow. Cordial but just so so slow and they kept bringing dishes out in fits and starts so we really never had our courses together. Including beverages. The wine came right away, and we waited Probably 20 minutes or longer for the cocktails to come for the rest of our party. Same thing with appetizers and main courses. Some of us had finished our appetizer before others even got theirs and the same thing with main courses. The food was disappointing. For these prices it should be fantastic. King, crab legs were so fishy we sent them back. The steak arrived overcooked and we had to send that back as well although they did get it right the second time. The rotisserie chicken was dry. Tasty but overcooked. I suppose the kitchen is still working out kinks but I don't think we will be back.

I recently dined at Shirley Brasserie for a birthday dinner, and it was an exquisite culinary experience. The ambiance was charming, with soft lighting and cozy seating. We had an amazing server that gave us the full experience. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, and the food was simply outstanding. Each plate was a work of art, both visually and in terms of flavor. I highly recommend Shirley Brasserie for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
