The Rendition Room

What an amazing food!!! Really they know what they're doing. Also great vibe design and attitude from the staff. Definitely coming back to one of the best restaurants out there. The upper floor is better by the way and the speak easy experience is great too. Highly recommended

I don't think we could have had a more perfect experience at The Rendition Room for date night. It really had everything, from a secretive and fun atmosphere, a fantastic host/waiter/personality guiding us through it all, super-delicious cocktails, and great vegetarian options from Vitello's menu. We've been to a few speakeasies around town (and, heck, around other towns too.) How fun is it to discover a secret door and find yourself tucked away in a room one can only imagine no one else knows about? Scott is the ultimate host, fast, detailed and so adept at preparing cocktails and making it a personal experience. It's his world...and it's a nice one to visit. I had the Doctor's Orders Cocktail - mixed perfectly...smokey, scotch, and sweet. it made me very happy. My wife thought her Mayan Skies (tequila-based with mango and more) was also pretty and tasty. We were happy to have the full Vitello's menu at our disposal, especially with thoughtful vegetarian/plant-based options on it. I had the Vegan Porcini Risotto...I'm not vegan and would have been perfectly happy to have regular cheese on this, but it was still full of flavor and a good-sized portion. My wife had the Hail Caeser salad with vegan chicken. The "chicken" was nicely cooked and led to a hearty meal for her. We're one drink-a-night kind of people so we couldn't dwell there and try more...but our experience, especially with the cocktails and Scott's superb hostmanship, has us eager to come back.

This phenomenal establishment is the black pearl of Studio City. My wife and I love sharing this experience with others just don't break the rules (unless instructed to do so). Bar Chef Scott bedazzles you with his Sharp Wit, impeccably timed comebacks, even a few zingers from behind the bar. His storied history remains a mystery but some say he served some of Hollywood's top visionaries with liquid courage to write some of the greatest hits over the last 30 yrs. When arriving we typically choose our first concoction before being taken on a cocktail culinary odyssey. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and dark like a Manhattan members club circa 1938 dark. Members enjoy a Vintage Locker for their most precious of Liquors. We highly recommend enjoying Tuesday -Thursdays.

Very nice speakeasy bar in burbank! The waiter and service is always incredible The concept and the lights is very good, special instruction on the reservation are respected and it is really nice ! We did not try the food of this bar yet but the italien restaurant at the entrance is really nice ! I recommend if you are searching for an intimate date spot in Burbank!

By far the best speakeasy in LA! Scott the bartender was magical with the cocktails he prepared for us. Not only we’re his drinks amazing, but the service Scott and Jack gave made us feel like family. Scott’s drinks were Masterful and full of flavor.

Super cool place with some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. The bartender provides a world class experience and top of the line drinks. Call to make a reservation in advance. Highly recommend grabbing some cocktails here!

We didn’t order any food but the drinks are good. You can actually test the tequila because sometimes sweet drinks don’t have enough alcohol and the sugar overpowers the drink, but here is the perfect amount of alcohol. Staff were very polite. I love the secret room is very private and romantic Definitely we are coming back

EDIT: Leaving my original review below, but after not hearing back from leaving a voicemail, emailing the contact address on the receipt successfully got me a $20 refund for the double tip. I'm still frustrated that I had to fight for this a little, but I am thankful that after consistent effort on my part then the location worked with me. Happy to change my review appropriately. Overall final conclusion: That wasn't ideal, and I hope they change their approach to automatic gratuity in the future (I don't mind it when it's much more clearly marked) but with the atmosphere and service and quality of drinks I would go back. Just an unfun scare there when I first got home. Original Review: An otherwise lovely visit was made quite sour by a cumbersome billing process that included an unclearly marked 20% automatic gratuity - for a party of two getting drinks and appetizers. Accidentally tipped 40% this way since I was in a rush and the location is extremely dark (not terrible but bad for reading the bill) and leaving a voicemail asking to undo it got no reply and a full charge. Just disappointing, I wanted to like this spot but it felt misleading. Though the bartender was very kind the service (a smidge hard to get the bill) did not justify an automatic 20% tip, and was unclearly enough marked that it was very easy to accidentally spend 20% more than it warranted at an already expensive spot.

Perfect date night spot. The second you walk in your "bartender", which I think is a genuine downplay of what they do, greets you and walks you to the secret door that opens up to a speakeasy dream. Dark lighting, classic songs, clean smell, muffled conversation from other patrons = romance. Scott was our guy for the night and his service was incredible. He made me look good in front of my date (thanks!) and was super helpful with cocktail recs. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a cute date spot!

We had valentines dinner at The Rendition Room and had such a great experience. It was as our first time here and we showed up early for our resy and grabbed a drink at Vitello's bar first. I got a coconut vodka drink and it was Delicious! Had to chug it because you can't bring a Vitello's drink into the speakeasy. Ooops. Service was excellent all around; the hostess, the bartenders, the kitchen staff, the whole crew went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Speakeasy: We got a seat at the bar inside the speakeasy and be warned: it is a refrigerator in there. They keep it COLD because they store the wine in there? Bring a coat and don't complain. It was real cute in there. If you're a speakeasy lover like me, it's not the craziest reveal but it was a nice romantic and intimate atmosphere. Food: They had a special valentine menu and happened to be out of a few items which turned into a blessing. I had planned to order their pizza, they were out of dough, so I ordered the filet medallions and oooo mmm ggggg, the best I've ever had. Almost pulled a Meg Ryan. Hubby got the scallops and he almost pulled a Ryan Gosling. Can't go wrong with either choices. Drinks: espresso martinis were tasty but the bartender made me a Nightingale , which was a vodka grapefruit and passion fruit concoction that was out of this world delicious. They make all their syrups in house. Price: we spent a lot of money but shiz is pricey these days and the food and service was quality so suck it up buttercups or stay home and order you heart shaped pizza like a peasant. Overall it was a memorable experience and I hope to return soon.

Ambiance: nice dark moody atmosphere. Loved the private booths Food: nothing special and didn't really love what I was eating Service: the guy was friendly and a pleasure to be around. Very prompt and responding to needs Drink: well crafted drinks but don't think it's LA crafted standards with those LA prices Overall impression: would recommend to others and come back

I had reservations at 9pm and arrived about 8:40pm and was brought in 9pm. I had the Seven Seas & Marilyn. The drinks were crafted well. I love the entire atmosphere of the bar. I also had the white pizza and the crust was so good. I would love to come back here again!!

I finally made it to The Rendition Room and it did not disappoint! I came here on a date with my favorite person (ME) and if i'm not feeling selfish...maybe ill share this little secret of a place with others. Arrived at around 8pm and was escorted behind the bookshelf at Vitello's and into the Speakeasy that is The Rendition room. Totally suave atmosphere. Dark, sexy, cool vibes (reminds me of myself). I took a seat at the bar and was greeted by my bartender/waitress, who was wonderful and accommodating. After taking a look at the menu, i knew I wanted to start off with the tiki drink (can't remember the name but it was very strong - definitely take your date here to seduce them, the drinks make it easy). It was totally delicious. For food, I opted for pizza and it was massive and a great price ($18) I can definitely see myself here splitting a pizza and being very satisfied. I only spent an hour here before my I had to fly away to the next part of my adventure (like the fairy I am). But, I definitely will be back to The Rendition Room.

Came here to check out the venue, love a nice hidden speakeasy. It did feel like you're walking into the past when you enter the room. Dimly candle kit room, fireplace, old jukebox, private booths. Prior to entrance, you walk to a bookshelf, and have to pull a specific book to unlock the bookshelf which then opens when you pull it. Very fun and mysterious! Scott was our everything: host, mixologist, server and concierge. If we needed anything, he was on top of it. We started the night with the meatballs, which were cooked well and had a nice sauce. Drinks came around the same time: the Tiki on Tujunga and Seven Seas. The Tiki had a nice balance of juices with rums, where you could taste the rum mixed with the dram of all spice, but wasn't overpowering as the juices cut it just right. The Seven Seas had more of a sourness to it, maybe from the lime juice, but was still a good drink. For entrees, we tried the butternut squash ravioli, the short rib with polenta and the carbonara. The ravioli was flavorful inside, but the outside felt dry. It needed a sauce, some butter and/or some fresh grated parmigiana on top. The short rib was cooked well and had a nice flavor. The polenta, however, did not taste seasoned at all, and had a much more grainy texture. I guess I was expecting a nice, creamy polenta. As for the carbonara, it was the most flavorful of the three dishes. The downside was that the poached egg on top was a little over poached to where the yolk didn't run when cut. With the entrees I also had a Mayan Skies cocktail which, for me, was the best out of the three. Nice spice level and the fresh mango puree really elevated the drink Overall, I would say to come here for the ambiance, Scott and the cocktails. It really is a nice, hidden gem in Studio City that would be great for a hangout or a date night. As for the food, it comes from the adjacent restaurant and isn't as great as I would have hoped. I'd say eat ahead of time and go to the Rendition Room to drink, talk and enjoy the vibe

One of the best bars in LA by far. Scott is the absolute best. Truly makes a night at The Rendition Room feel special and makes fantastic drinks. The ambiance is immaculate as well.

So I wanted to re-review this place after my most recent visit last night. Here we go! Off the bat I want to start with the Pros: The biggest best pro of the night was our Host, Server, Bartender, & Waiter. They were all fantastic aside from the part that it was entirely ONE PERSON taking on all of those jobs himself. Sincerely, Scott was possibly one of the best parts of our evening but he was working his A** off and felt very unfair the amount of work and effort he had to put in trying to do, what looked like, all of it himself. With that being said I really want to emphasize how great Scott was and this review is not a reflection on him in the least. If I could review Scott separately he'd receive 6 stars! The other big Pro were the drinks Scott made. Really Really good cocktails, I had the New Old Fashioned and LOVED it so much that I had a second. The ambiance was very cool and great to see some others dressed up for the environment of the 1930s speakeasy vibe but the vibe itself sort of got tired during our time there. Knowing they are trying to turn the Rendition Room into a membership club it feels like it needs to be elevated and add some more surprise and delight moments within the space. Ok on to the Cons: I hate to say it but the food was just ok, don't get me wrong we ate it all, but as my husband put it, it seemed like his dish and mine were microwaved and then served to us. We started with the garlic knots which were a bit hard but edible. Then my husband had the Carbonara and I had the chicken parm. The pasta in both didn't taste freshly made, nor did my Chicken Parm. They were both perfectly serviceable and fine to eat but just nothing special. In addition when it came time for dessert Scott sadly had to tell us that they were out of quite a few of the options. Our experience was at 6:30PM (fairly early) so very surprising that they'd be out of that many desserts that early in the night. Will we go back... maybe? Possibly just for drinks and avoid the food from the restaurant attached as that was really the big con of evening. I hope the restaurant can take this feedback in mind as well as possibly get some more staffing for the Rendition Room. As great as Scott was, it's not the most inviting environment when the one person working the room has to constantly be moving around doing everything themselves. Literally getting the patrons from the restaurant and welcoming to the room and going over the dos and don'ts. To taking orders, making the drinks, serving everything to everyone, it's just far too much for one person to do.

I don't think we could have had a more perfect experience at The Rendition Room for date night. It really had everything, from a secretive and fun atmosphere, a fantastic host/waiter/personality guiding us through it all, super-delicious cocktails, and great vegetarian options from Vitello's menu. We've been to a few speakeasies around town (and, heck, around other towns too.) How fun is it to discover a secret door and find yourself tucked away in a room one can only imagine no one else knows about? Scott is the ultimate host, fast, detailed and so adept at preparing cocktails and making it a personal experience. It's his world...and it's a nice one to visit. I had the Doctor's Orders Cocktail - mixed perfectly...smokey, scotch, and sweet. it made me very happy. My wife thought her Mayan Skies (tequila-based with mango and more) was also pretty and tasty. We were happy to have the full Vitello's menu at our disposal, especially with thoughtful vegetarian/plant-based options on it. I had the Vegan Porcini Risotto...I'm not vegan and would have been perfectly happy to have regular cheese on this, but it was still full of flavor and a good-sized portion. My wife had the Hail Caeser salad with vegan chicken. The "chicken" was nicely cooked and led to a hearty meal for her. We're one drink-a-night kind of people so we couldn't dwell there and try more...but our experience, especially with the cocktails and Scott's superb hostmanship, has us eager to come back.

"Prohibition has made nothing but trouble." - Al Capone Shhhh... I don't want to be called a "stoolie." Still, I can't hold back my appreciation to fellow West LA Yelper and family friend Doug S for arranging a low-key and retro dining experience at this hidden gem in the back of Vitello's Italian Restaurant at Studio City. It was a chilly and drizzling evening, so we parked in the lot (valet service) attached to Vitello's and entered the restaurant. The hostess gave us the lowdown on the House Rules while we waited to be escorted to the clandestine entrance to The Rendition Room. At our precise reservation time, a smartly dressed man, Scott, came to stealthily escort us down a dark hallway towards the hidden doorway (bookcase) and restrooms. He spoke in a no-nonsense and low tone, and we observed that he was the "One Man Show" during our 90-minute stay. Scott was direct yet friendly. However, we understood why he didn't spend much time banter with all the customers after seating them and escorting them in. Scott took everyone's beverage and food orders while also serving as bartender. When the food orders were ready from the kitchen, he delivered and served the meals from memory! Beverages and Food: - New Old Fashioned: bourbon, black walnut bitters, orange oil, luxardo cherry, and rendition mist. My husband's choice, and he enjoyed this cocktail made with bourbon even though he said it was sweet. $18 - Doctor's Orders: Smokey single malt scotch, canton ginger liqueur, lemon juice, and honey. I tried this concoction because its description reminded me of my mother's homemade cold relief sans liquor. Woo! This cocktail is a perfect prescription to combat cold symptoms or none. $18 -Crispy Artisan Bread: served with truffle herb ricotta & hot honey. The short and plump loaf had a slightly hard exterior crust with a dense and chewy interior. The bread slices were an excellent canvas for the truffle herb ricotta. We reminded ourselves not to fill up on the bread since our meals hadn't been delivered yet. $8 -Calamari & Shrimp: flash-fried golden brown, lightly and perfectly breaded calamari and shrimp were served with ramekins of marinara and tartar sauce. We were impressed with their breading since we could differentiate the calamari rings from legs and shrimp. There wasn't any heavy batter to mask the seafood pieces. Each bite was a light, airy, crispy, and non-greasy morsel..$19 -Pesto Gnocchi ($26) + Salmon ($12): the gnocchi were soft, chewy, and plump, and their richness was lightened with an herbaceous and cheesy pesto. I requested salmon as my protein since the pesto would complement its flavor. The other choice offered was chicken, but I've been eating chicken frequently, that I'm about to sprout feathers! There were good-sized salmon chunks distributed through the pesto-cloaked pasta. It was a tasty, rich, and very satisfying meal, and I only ate half of the serving because I thought about having dessert. -Chicken Decision: Choice of parmigiana, piccata, marsala, or Milanese. My husband chose the Milanese-style cutlet. The chicken breast cutlet was thicker than we're used to seeing for the Milanese style, but it was succulent, tender, and flavorful. This entree included a serving of spaghetti aglio e olio. I'm sure my husband enjoyed his entree, and he was hungry because he cleaned his plate. $32 -Classic Cannoli: Filled with creamy sweet mascarpone and chocolate chips, the thin crisp shell reminded me of the excellent cannolis from Boston's historic North End, Mike's Pastry. My sweet tooth was delighted with the cannoli even though I had my heart set on a slice of the Spumoni Cake. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't have the Spumoni Cake available that evening. I shared the cannoli with my husband, who seemed to hog more than his half. $10 Our dining mates ordered the Carbonara and bone-in Pork Chop as their entrees and shared the sides of broccolini and sweet potato fries. The Italian-American cuisine and speakeasy ambiance were alive and well under the watchful eyes of our bartender/server, Scott. Even as the speakeasy filled during our 90-minute dining limit, Scott kept everyone happy with full alcohol pours and delicious food. We'd love to return with the possibility of catching live jazz or magic performances during dinner time, and we certainly won't worry about having to make quick escapes in case of a police raid.

We were meeting up with a friend up in North Hollywood and decided to check out this spot. It's a speakeasy style bar inside another restaurant. The set up is nice enough and the cocktails aren't half bad. But it's not exactly destination-worthy, if you know what I mean. Still, if you are in this neighborhood, it's a solid bar. The food, however, was mediocre. So altogether a 3.5 start experience.

This is truly a gem in the Valley. The cocktails and desserts were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere added another level to this great experience. I highly recommend this place. And if you show up early then eat at their restaurant Vitello, which is very good.

Good drinks and food as it's attached to the restaurant. Very quiet and dim lit.. a nice date spot. Good service as well. I kind of miss when they were stricter on the phone usage.

I still dream about this experience! I found this hidden gem, called up and asked for a reservation. Inside of a stunning Italian restaurant, behind a hidden door resides this speakeasy feel room. Very old Hollywood feel, romantic, dark moody lighting, and the best service you have ever had awaits you. You are supposed to be a member to go in to this secretive room! We were seated at the bear and the bartender is a mixologist. He crafted and curated specialty cocktails to our liking for the evening. We had so many different types of drinks, many that are super old and we haven't ever heard of. They were all so delicious and I lined the experience of watching a show be put on for each. We ordered a lasagna to share and it came out crispy around the edges, covered in tomato sauce and cheese - the perfect dish. It was hearty, rich, and was just the best lasagna I've had in years. I can't recommend this place enough! The restaurant is resides in is beautiful, and had great food and service as well! Come here for a celebration, special date night etc!

Still love this place. Scott is the definition of "awesomeness" and has great energy. He can mix a mean drink as well. Love this place, obviously...

This is a very special place. The ambiance is amazing, the food is amazing, and the bartenders are out of this world! Scott is a magician when it comes to drinks and is always a wonderful time. Richie has truly made this place his own and is a great time as well. Sitting here is a nice throwback and the music helps drive that feeling. It's a detective novel become a place. There is no better place for something different while in the comfort of your own neighborhood.

The Rendition Room is a special little place in the heart of Tujunga Village. I have had this place on my list for a few months now and wanted to wait for a special occasion to visit. So when my birthday rolled around this year I knew it was the place I wanted to start my night. It's a speakeasy tucked into the back room, behind a hidden bookshelf door, of Vitello's Italian restaurant. Vitello's is a nice casual neighborhood spot that I have enjoyed coming to for years. This was my first time at The Rendition Room however and I absolutely loved it. When we arrived, we checked in at the host/hostess stand inside of Vitello's. Even though we were there a few minutes early, we waited a bit past our reservation time to be taken back to our table. Someone from the restaurant escorted us back and through the hidden door I mentioned above. Once we entered through the doorway and plush velvet curtains I instantly felt like I had been transported back to the 1920s. We were ushered into a dimly lit room with a bar along one side and booths along the other. We were seated in super comfy armchairs in front of an old jukebox. In the background, I could hear music by the greats like Billie Holiday. Their cocktail list is extensive and the bartender/mixologist was happy to make modifications based on preference. I ordered the Nightingale with vodka while my husband ordered the Mayan Skies without the spice. We actually ended up liking each other's more so we switched but both drinks were delicious. We were also offered a food menu because you are able to order food from Vitello's as well. Because this was our first stop of the night and we had made dinner reservations elsewhere, we just had one drink and enjoyed the ambiance. It truly is a speakeasy and everyone is encouraged to speak at a low volume and refrain from taking phone calls or taking photos with flash. Honestly, this is the perfect spot for a date night or just a quiet evening with a loved one. Upon asking for our check, the bartender asked if I would like a birthday dessert to which I excitedly replied yes. He then brought out a deliciously fresh cannoli and we devoured it as quickly as it came out! We paid and left feeling like we had just stumbled upon our new favorite drink spot. If you want a relaxed vibe and quiet evening but still want the excitement of being out then this is the perfect place to try. Thank you to everyone at The Rendition Room for helping to make my birthday so special. I can't wait to have a reason to go back! Pro tip: make sure to reserve a spot well in advance because they do fill up with it being such a small venue. Pro tip: Make sure to follow the dress code.

Another fabulous evening with a great dinner (Halibut) from Vitello's & Scott the master at The Rendition Room expertly creating & serving the beverages. Happy to return. Thank you Scott

Stopped in to have a cocktail while I was waiting for a friend close by. From the moment I walked in, it felt like my kind of place. Dimly lit, low key crowd, comfy chairs and a full bar that served food. This place is really cool. The vibe and scenery is reminiscent of a speakeasy. I ordered an Amperol Spritzer as recommendation by a group at the bar. Pretty good. My favorite was the Evan Williams Old Fashion. Being my friend never made it, I tried the Margherita pizza to munch on. Super thin crust and tasty sauce. Dave, the bartender was awesome. A pleasant surprise to end the night.

Came here with a friend! She got us reservations and always speaks so high of Scott so of course I had to come with her for dinner. It was such a cute place with a great ambiance. Super lowkey vibes and quiet (duh) haha. I got the mushroom pasta and it was so good !! And the drink I got was pretty good too! Scott was SUPER amazing. Everything my friend Te-See said about him was true! He was great and super helpful and patience. A perfect spot for a date night!

I came here with a friend on a Saturday night. She made reservations the late afternoon the same day! There was a 10min wait after we checked in, but they had seating, so it wasn't bad. I absolutely loved the speakeasy ambiance - we were lead through a hidden passageway behind a bookcase and then seated in big comfy chairs with tealights. It is dark in there, but I managed with the menu. My friend had been here previously and raved about the cocktails. I was super excited and got the seven seas while she got the mayan skies. I really enjoyed my drink and the waitresses was super knowledgeable when I told her I didn't want something too sweet. However, my friend's drink left us for wanting more. She expected more mango coming through in the drink. There were so many drink options so we are planning to go back and hopefully both of us get drinks we like!

Cute speakeasy spot too bad the service was beyond bad. I was waiting for my date and a waiter approached me telling me to hurry because they can't hold the table any longer. This after I called them and informed that we were 15 min late. They told me that was totally fine and table will be held. The waiter kept insisting to rush me even after I told him multiple times I need to wait for my partner. This guy was like psychotic, serial killer vibes. He kept bothering at us while we were trying to have a conversation and enjoy our time. He was obsessively moving back our glasses to coasters every 5 min interrupting us, saying wierd non sense things. He was intentionally harassing us. We never dealt with such a freak before unbelievable. If you go there and your waiter looks like middle aged white guy just ask for a different one or run away!

My oh my. This place is excellent. The vibes are immaculate. Sexy darkened lights. Intimate. Great attentive service and staff. Getting in is also a spectacle behind a book case. Love it . The drinks are also immaculate. We ordered the Mayan skies, doctors orders, and the day at the races. Honestly can't go wrong all unique and delicious. My favorite dish was the bbq chicken pizza. A must get. Was perfection. The pastas were Al dente and tasty. Linguine clams was salty however. Will for sure be back. A must go!

Can't believe I've been to Vitello's several times and had no idea this was hidden in the back! By far my favorite speakeasy in LA! Will definitely be back. Drinks were superb, as was the food (all food orders are from Vitello's menu). Came for a casual birthday, but it's also a great date night spot.

Nice speakeasy to visit. No phones allowed. Cocktails were strong and made well. Proper early 1900s vibes. Our server took very good care of us. Food was surprisingly good really enjoyed the white pizza. Located at the back of Vitello's restaurant., Cheap parking available right next door including valet. Great for a Friday night out with friends.

Such a wonderful experience! This is about our third time to the room. Tucked away at the very back of Vitello's, behind a wall you would never suspect leads to "the joint," the Rendition Room is surely an upscale bar you do not want to miss. Dim lights, antiques and whispers, alcoholic libations that are more tasteful works of art than simply "drinks" or "cocktails," this place will surely seduce you! Come prepared to choose carefully (and quickly) some tasty delights from the menu to complement your hand-made, carefully designed and presented liquid deight. Your unforgettable host, the enigmatic "Scott" will treat you like a classic "speakeasy" client, so be ready to act fast and "dodge the authorities" as he moves you in, welcomes you graciously, and then speedily jets along to all the other rooms' inhabitants. This place is his creation, and his drinks rule the roost, more like desserts and amazing sweets, unforgettable tastes you never quite get enough of, leading to a second... and a third... and, well you get it. The burrata crostini and the shrimp sambuca dishes are delicious, the two-medallion porcini-crusted filet mignon (with the red wine reduction on the side for my taste) is to die for! Sure, I it's all good, pistacio ricotta cake and crunchy cannoli desserts and sides, appetizers and entrees. But it's the booze man, that's the real deal here, and the atmosphere, and the sharp-witted, spicy-tongued host. It's killer! Make a reservation a few days out, come early when it's not too crowded, dress up "to the nines" ya filthy animal. Wrap the Rendition Room around you like a Sinatra tune or a sumptuous cashmere overcoat, drink in the nostalgia. Sure it costs ya, but you'll be better for it! I'll see ya there, doctor's orders!

Perfect date night spot. Dim, Moody, great music, delicious drinks, fantastic atmosphere. Came on a Monday and there was maybe three other people total. It was perfection. I didn't get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked impressive and delicious.

I'm a sucker for speakeasy's! And my friends know that, maybe that is why my friend brought me here for my birthday celebration! It did not disappoint! The entry to the speakeasy was so much fun, and the room just takes you back to an era that only exists in my mind. Bartender was dressed the part of a 1920 bartender, she was so sweet and informative. Their ordering system is so clever! Instead of them bothering you, all you need to do is put your candle at the front of the table and they know to come to you. We ordered dinner, which to be honest, I wasn't impressed, but the drinks exceeded my expectations! It was empty when we got there, as we were the first one, but before we knew it, it was packed! You do have a time limit on how long you can stay in there, as it is a small place, so don't plan to stay all night. Would definitely come back here for drinks!

What a hot spot!! Loved the food & the service! Here is a secret.... Ask for Richy! He makes excellent cocktails! I was so sleepy when I walked in here and then BOOM he made me a fabulous espresso martini with orange zest! I was a brand new woman! The husband loved his Passionfruit /sage drink! It's so refreshing after a day out in the sun! The Tujunga pizza was amazing! The crab cakes to die for! The service was unbelievable! A huuuuuge shout out to Richy!! He's so nice and sweet and so friendly. I'm coming back because of him!

I will NEVER EVER find an amazing and passionate mixologist like Scott. No matter how busy or crazy things can get, he'll always make you feel like you're the star of the show. Incredible drinks and wonderful hospitality. It's no wonder the Rendition Room continues to be one of my favorite bars of all time (not just in the SFV!). Will always recommend, even if it's just for Scott's impeccable company! :)

This was an amazing date spot! Scott is such a great host, he was funny, charming and made the whole experience x1000 times better. The food was great and the brown butter banana cake with vanilla bean gelato is un-skippable. The New Old Fashion was so good, rather than trying another drink I ordered a second one. 10/10 experience, if I could give a 20/10 I would solely thanks to Scott! I can't believe I've never been here before and we're defiantly coming back.

Second time coming to this charming speak easy! First time I came here, the service was a little disappointing but this time it was outstanding! I highly recommend that you RSVP because it's a small spot. They do ask for credit card and there is cancellation fee which is understandable since it's such a cozy spot. Although the space is limited, the creativity and beauty of this place is incredible. Love the lighting, decor, the seats, drinks, and the service! The kitchen was about to close. I think they close at 9pm so I had to order pretty fast since my reservation was 8:30pm. Food and drinks came out fast and it was pretty good! We got the meatballs, sweet potato fries, and the calamari. The food was ok but the ambience, the drinks, and the service was top notch! I'll definitely be coming back!

Everything about this place is amazing! First you go in through a secret door into a small lounge. The ambiance is dark and intimate. We were sat at the bar and that was the only place to sit the 5 of us. They don't allow groups because there isn't a ton of room. Our bartender was very nice, helping us all make the right drink choices. We didn't get food but when you do order you can order from the Martini bar menu and since we had eaten there I can say out would've been very good! The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for.

TLDR: Speakeasy bartender tricked us into stepping out and then locked us out. Welp that ruined our night. We had a nice, if not a bit overpriced, meal and drink at the bar. Were about to leave when I saw signs for the speakeasy. I asked the hostess if we could see. She kindly took us back and we thought it looked neat and might want to stay for a drink. The bartender inside said he could seat us. As soon as my boyfriend stepped in, the bartender quickly said "wait let me show you something outside". We followed, excited and curious at the little speakeasy nuance he was going to show us. Once out he said "we have a dress code, no shorts" and slammed the door in our faces. Neither of us would've minded not being served due to dress code but the way he tricked us to leaving and then locked us out was...bizarre. The whole way home we were in shock and hurt.

We loved the food and the vibe. One drink was much better than the other so we sent it back and asked for two of the same and they were happy to do it. The members have priority seating, which is good to know ahead of time. You could be seated at the bar if there are no booths or tables available. I think it helped that we were dressed up and went early.

It felt like school - so many rules. Just wanted to celebrate a friend's bday together but were forced to sit apart and not hover. There were six of us and we called ahead to make sure it was okay but was not the case when we arrived. Was scolded to bring our napkin coaster every time we rotated to sit with new people. Overpriced - which would have been fine if the vibe was more accommodating. Good for a group of two who are well dressed, and go with the flow. Not great for events or groups.

Was highly recommended for me to come here from a close friend and definitely lived up to the praise she gave. The service was amazing and food was great. Our server and barkeep was Scott and he was wonderful and made the experience there so much better. The ambiance was great too, I love quiet and intimate spaces where you can truly focus on whomever your with without have to speak over loud music or heavy chatter. Lighting really elevated the feel as well. Price wise, itd be considered pricier than normal but I do think it's worth it. Will definitely be coming back.

Such a great place! I came here to celebrate a birthday in a group of 4, and everything was great! The drinks and appetizers were delicious, the environment was cute, and the staff were so nice and helpful! This place is a MUST if you're in the valley! Parking was great too! We found street parking right away. I believe there's also a valet parking in case street parking isn't available.

The best way to describe The Rendition Room is as a lovely experience. We waited in the main restaurant for a bit and were taken to the bar by a staff member. Do make reservations, they aren't always needed, but it's best to be prepared. We were sat at the bar and had such a good time. The staff are all this incredible blend of formal and friendly. Our barman had to ask a few people to settle down about twice, but other than that it was a great time. It's low lit, and quiet enough to have conversation. We ordered several drinks and our bartender was happy to help us choose based on what we thought we wanted. The tiki cocktails are strong! Mine was a big glass of tropical getaway. Next time I'd start with one of those and nurse it for most of the night. I don't even live in CA, but if I was close by, I'd be a regular at The Rendition Room.

The Rendition Room is a neighborhood gem that should be on anyone's list when classic ambience, service, food and especially cocktails are on your list. Cozy and charming and delightful!

It's always a pleasure to return! The menu is both diverse and delicious. The service and hospitality, especially from the legendary Scott, are truly exceptional. He consistently makes my friends and me feel at home, creating an intimate, luxurious, and wonderful atmosphere. Plus, he serve the best Old Fashioned in California! Thank you for another fantastic evening!

This was a total surprise! It's a small cozy spot, great ambiance, relaxing intimate dining experience! Food and drinks were awesome! Service was the best. If you're celebrating an anniversary or want a quiet intimate date, this is the place to be!

Horrible hours of operation at this establishment. It irks me to leave a negative review because this bar just screams class and prestige; however, closing at 10 p.m. is beyond unacceptable, especially when trying to have deep conversations with a person you meet, only to be notified that they close at 10 p.m. This isn't Chuck E. Cheese; this is a bar for adults, and last I checked, most bars are open after 10 p.m. I'm not saying stay open all night; however, be reasonable. Such a nice establishment that has potential! Just stay open longer so people can enjoy and want to congregate at this establishment! This used to be the spot to go to legitimately unwind and take you back in the early 1900s from the design and aesthetics and have amazing drinks with meaningful conversations.

Took us a while to be able to snag a reservation here. We had to wait a solid 20 minutes in the lobby which wasn't ideal. Then we we entered in there was another group in the room so the whole opening book case was spoiled. But all that aside, the room itself was a very cool vibe. Very classy old school feel. Drinks were pretty solid. I went for the penicillin (I believe it was called Doctors Orders?), which they made very well!

Such a lovely space, such a lovely place. If you like speakeasies behind hidden doors that open up to quiet enveloping dim lit rooms with piano music in the background so that you feel like Sinatra at his prime, don't come here... KIDDING! If that's your vibe, this is your spot. The service had some unique elements which made the experience memorable. And the food, just right. It's not meant to take you away from the experience but rather keep you in the mood. A very solid option for a date that feels like a date: definitely not a "hang with the bros".

Super cute place that feels very special and private. We love both the food and drinks here.

Second time at the Rendition Room. This time we went with some friends to celebrate a birthday. Ritchie took great care of us! His drinks were on point. He recommended certain drinks based on our likes/dislikes. He let us try certain spirits. He is very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. The ambiance is great. Exactly how a speakeasy should be. We truly enjoyed our night. Again, ask for Ritchie! He's great!

I easily made a reservation for a Thursday evening through their website with only one day's notice. Scott was an incredibly gracious host and top-notch bartender. He made me and my date feel very welcome and was never intrusive when offering us service. The space itself is quiet and cozy, perfect for a date night or other intimate outing. There are also a lot of tiny decor elements that allow for continual discovery. I had the New Old Fashioned and my date opted for the "Tequila Mockingbird. Both were excellent and incredibly delicious. I will definitely be back!

Vitello's does it right. The Rendition Room is a fantastic speak easy tucked inside a neighborhood Italian restaurant. The ambience is spot on! Scott, our bartender/server/room captain/entertainer, did a beautiful job as our host. Thank you Scott! The food was wonderful. Vitello's kitchen knows what they're doing. I brought out-of-town visitors, and they had a great time. I'll be back for sure!
