The Whisper Restaurant and Lounge

I took two of my friends here for their birthday and I must say this place is exceptional. The food was very delicious. All the drinks were great as well. I like how they had a variety to drinks especially for me since I am not a drinker. This is a ,very nice and classy atmosphere. The service was exceptional from the time we step in the restaurant until up to the time we left. Mr Kelly and his staff really made us felt welcome and comfortable. Every food item or drinks that was recommended to us was excellent. Will definitely return. I highly recommend The Whisper Restaurant and Lounge.

I have now gone to the whisper Lounge on two separate occasions and tried two different entrees and both have been wonderful. The grilled salmon is great, but the burger is even better. The cheese oozes off the sides, and the quality of meat is just unparalleled.

After spending some time shopping at the Grove this is the perfect way to end out the night. The bartender's here are super attentive and you feel like they are personally serving you when you order a drink. I know it sounds weird but but something about how they point you out and get your attention rather than the other way around is such a nice change to see in LA. Drinks are delicious, specials were fantastic, and all in all not too expensive. It's a little small, but we went on a Friday night and it wasn't too packed. Perfect ambiance and level of intimacy. Would def go again.

Great food outstanding drinks try the house old fashioned

This is not the place for vegetarians or people that enjoy good service! Their vegetable dishes; roasted cauliflower, brussel sprouts and squash curry, all had animal broth in them. And they can't remove it from the dish. Not what I expected from an upscale dining restaurant in LA. I ordered the squash curry and cauliflower anyway since I'd just driven from south Orange County and was starving. The squash was flavorful and delicate but the cauliflower reeked from the fish broth, even my sister, who eats meat, thought it smelled bad. I ordered a Dirty Martini which was tasty and strong but took a very long time to arrive. Our server only came to our table three times, the first time took about 10 minutes for her to come over, the second to drop off drinks and the third to drop off the check. She seemed annoyed when I asked if any of the dishes were vegetarian and did not offer any substitutions. I don't remember her name because I just wanted to forget her and her service the minute I encountered it. I get it, I was a server too, but I was always told to check your personal problems at the door. Fake it till you make it, after all! She never checked on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything else, I probably would have ordered another drink had she asked. Oh well. The decor is beautiful, soft, warm lighting and complementary beige and white interior. And a very cool, large chandelier installation. But decor is probably the best aspect of the restaurant. I'm always looking for nice restaurants in LA and Orange County to dine at, and will go back if the service and food is good so Whisper will not be earning my service again.

Had a great dinner there the other night before seeing a movie. The staff was very helpful with excellent suggestions. The cocktails from the bar were also made perfectly. Sitting out on the patio is very comfortable with all the great weather we have in LA. Can't wait to go back!

Really good food and great happy hour. Have been twice. First time had good service and restaurant was busy, second time I had very lousy service and was one of 2 or 3 tables total and the bartender served us. Their prices are too high to not have a good efficient server. Was very disappointed that it took my colleague and I an hour and a half to have lunch because they were so slow. Will try again to see if better, if not, will go elsewhere.

Not a bad spot for a cocktail if you find yourself needing a drink after (or before) some shopping or a movie. Surprisingly good selection of Rum! The food and service are good. Overall a nice option while at the Grove, but not a destination in and of itself.
