Members Restaurant & Club
8.4
Members is a reservations-only Mediterranean restaurant and nightlife space where candlelit tables, DJ sets, and a sultry room blur the line between dinner and lounge. Couples start with mezze and cocktails before the lights dim and the energy shifts toward a late-night scene.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smoked Baba Ghanoush & Crudités, Dry-Aged Beef Tartare, Grilled Branzino
Scores:
Value: 6.5
Service: 7.8
Consistency: 7.7
Food Quality: 8.3
Atmosphere: 9.2
Cultural Relevance: 7.9
What makes it special: A moody, Mediterranean-leaning restaurant-club hybrid where dinner naturally runs into a night out.
Who should go: Couples who like their date nights loud, stylish, and nightlife-adjacent.
When to visit: Late seatings when the DJ and crowd are in full swing.
What to order: Baba Ghanoush & Crudités, Dry-Aged Beef Tartare, Grilled Branzino.
Insider tip: Treat it as a full-night plan: arrive a bit later, order mezze-heavy, and linger for the DJ rather than rushing off elsewhere.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available in the evenings (~$15-$20). Street parking on Sunset is limited and tight after 7pm; plan extra time or rideshare.
Dress code: Dressy casual trending upscale—think fitted tops, dark denim or slacks, and going-out attire. Sneakers are fine if clean and stylish.
Noise level: Loud once the DJ starts; conversation is manageable early in the evening but becomes shout-level later.
Weekend wait: Reservations are required; walk-ins are rarely accommodated. Even with a reservation, expect a brief 5–10 minute hold while the room turns.
Weekday lunch: No lunch service—dinner only, with smoother weekday seating but still reservation-dependent.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Good options—mezze, dips, salads, and vegetable-forward small plates.
Vegan options: Limited—some mezze can work, but entrées skew meat and seafood heavy.
Gluten-free options: Several GF-friendly dishes (grilled proteins, dips without pita), but no fully dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a high-energy, nightlife-leaning first date where ambiance matters more than quiet conversation. Not ideal if you’re hoping for a slow, intimate chat.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Unlikely. Members operates primarily on reservations and often books out. If you try, go early in the evening before the room transitions into full lounge mode.
Is it kid-friendly? No. The dim lighting, DJ sets, and lounge atmosphere skew adults-only. Families with younger children should look elsewhere.
Best For
Better for: Late-night date nights, stylish groups, and guests who want a seamless dinner-to-DJ experience not found in more traditional Mediterranean restaurants.
Skip if: You prefer quiet meals, need robust vegan options, or want an early, family-friendly dinner without nightlife energy.

7.6
Members is a Moroccan-inspired restaurant and club on Sunset where mezze, grilled meats, and cocktails play support to a late-night party atmosphere. Between the palace-like dining room, DJ sets, and bottle-service energy, it functions as a semi-hidden supper club for those chasing a big night rather than a quiet dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Members' Muhammara, Silky Hummus, Eggplant Dip
Scores:
Value: 7
Service: 6.7
Consistency: 6.8
Food Quality: 7.5
Atmosphere: 8.9
Cultural Relevance: 8
What makes it special: A Moroccan palace–style restaurant that flips into a clubby, music-driven dinner party.
Who should go: Groups planning a dressy night that runs late.
When to visit: Prime weekend seatings when the DJ and club side kick in.
What to order: Members’ Muhammara, Silky Hummus, and shared mezze to start.
Insider tip: Book an earlier table if you want to actually taste the food before the room turns fully into a club.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available on weekend evenings; street parking along Sunset becomes difficult after 7pm and often requires circling nearby residential blocks.
Dress code: Dressy casual leaning nightlife—think elevated evening wear; sneakers and overly casual outfits may feel out of place once the club atmosphere kicks in.
Noise level: High after 9pm due to DJs and bottle-service energy; early reservations allow for normal conversation but expect near-club volume later.
Weekend wait: Expect 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 9pm when the party crowd arrives.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable; the restaurant operates primarily as a dinner and late-night venue and is typically reservation-focused.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Solid selection—mezze like hummus, muhammara, grilled vegetables, and salads make it workable.
Vegan options: Limited—some mezze qualify but mains are largely protein-driven; ask staff for modifications.
Gluten-free options: Several dishes can be made gluten-free, including grilled meats and salads, though cross-contact in a busy kitchen is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want a high-energy, nightlife-adjacent experience. For quieter, get-to-know-you dates, choose an earlier seating or another spot entirely.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible but unreliable on weekends. Walk-ins may wait 45 minutes or be directed to the bar; reservations are strongly advised after 8pm.
Is it kid-friendly? Not recommended. The lighting, volume, and late-night club atmosphere skew strictly adult; teens may be fine early, but young children won’t be comfortable.
Best For
Better for: Late-night group celebrations with a built-in party vibe, dramatic decor, and a social atmosphere that blends dinner and nightlife.
Skip if: You want a quiet dinner, refined service pacing, or a food-first experience without club-level noise and energy.

8.4
Members is a Moroccan-inspired Mediterranean restaurant and club where late-night Moonlight Menu sliders, schnitzel, and mezze run alongside DJs and bottle service. The room feels like a palace-meets-nightclub hybrid, built for dressed-up, music-filled nights that run past 2am.

When to visit: Weekend late seatings after 10pm for peak party energy.
What to order: Members' Mezze, Chicken Schnitzel, Members’ Cookie.
Insider tip: Book earlier dinner then slide into the club side without leaving.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available on weekends along Sunset; street parking is limited and competitive after 7pm, especially near club-heavy blocks.
Dress code: Dressy nightlife attire is strongly encouraged; think elevated smart casual to cocktail-level looks. Sneakers are allowed but should be clean and stylish.
Noise level: High—conversation becomes difficult after 10pm when the DJ and club side activate.
Weekend wait: Expect 30–60 minutes without a reservation; walk-ins after midnight often face a short queue for the dining room or club-side tables.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—this venue operates primarily evenings and late night.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—mezze like hummus, muhammara, and salads offer several strong options.
Vegan options: Limited—some dips and salads work, but mains are mostly non-vegan.
Gluten-free options: Moderate—several grilled items and mezze fit gluten-free needs, but cross-contact is likely due to the high-volume kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want a high-energy, nightlife-driven date. The lighting and vibe are seductive, but the volume and party crowd make it better for fun, chemistry-driven nights rather than intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possibly—walk-ins are sometimes seated early in the evening or very late, but prime weekend hours require a reservation or willingness to wait in a short queue. Bar seating is your best bet for spontaneous visits.
Is it kid-friendly? Not recommended—this is a nightlife-oriented space with DJs, loud music, and a late crowd. Best reserved for adults.
Best For
Better for: High-energy, dressed-up late nights with DJs, bottle service, and a crowd that wants both food and a party atmosphere.
Skip if: You want a quiet dinner, early seating, or a conversation-friendly meal. Choose alternatives if you're avoiding loud nightlife or club-style environments.

Service: 8.6
Consistency: 8.6

Who should go: Groups wanting dinner that naturally turns into a party.
When to visit: Late weekend evenings when themed nights and DJs are scheduled.
What to order: Mezze platter, lamb chops, seafood skewers plus a round of cocktails.
Insider tip: For smoother service with large parties, lock in a preset menu and bottle package so staff can focus on pacing rather than à la carte orders.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is the norm along this stretch of Sunset and typically runs in the $15–$20 range; street parking is extremely limited after 7pm due to nightlife spillover.
Dress code: Dressy nightlife attire is strongly encouraged—think elevated smart casual with an emphasis on stylish fits; sneakers are acceptable only if clean and fashion-forward.
Noise level: High once DJs start; early dinner hours are manageable for conversation, but after 9:30pm it shifts toward a full club environment.
Weekend wait: Expect a 30–60 minute delay even with a reservation; walk-ins are rarely accommodated during peak party nights.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable, as the venue primarily operates evenings through late night.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Solid coverage with mezze, salads, and vegetable-forward Mediterranean plates.
Vegan options: Limited—there are a few mezze and sides that work, but mains skew protein-heavy.
Gluten-free options: Multiple options including skewers, proteins, and select mezze, though cross-contact is possible given the nightlife-style kitchen flow.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want a high-energy, nightlife-forward experience; the club atmosphere can overwhelm quieter first-date dynamics.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Rare on weekends—most tables are prebooked for parties or preset menus. Arrive early on weeknights for your best chance at bar or patio seating.
Is it kid-friendly? No—this is an adult-oriented venue with DJs, bottle service, and late-night programming; not appropriate for children.
Best For
Better for: Music-driven private events, themed parties, and dinners that transition seamlessly into nightlife without changing venues.
Skip if: You want a quiet private room, chef-driven tasting menu, or early evening family gathering; choose a calmer Mediterranean spot instead.
