A sky-high French-leaning steak and seafood room inside the InterContinental, where the draw is classic technique paired with cinematic DTLA views. Private dining options and semi-private starlight booths make it a strong pick for high-stakes celebrations or client hosting. The menu shines most on beef cuts, shellfish starters, and a slow, formal meal rhythm.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dry-Aged Ribeye, Seafood Tower, French Onion Soup + Steak Add-Ons

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel valet at the InterContinental is the primary option; expect premium pricing and minimal street parking in the Wilshire Grand Corridor.
Dress code: Upscale smart casual—jackets not required, but polished attire fits the room’s formal tone.
Noise level: Low to moderate; quiet enough for business conversations and special-occasion dinners.
Weekend wait: Reservations are essential; walk-ins are rarely accommodated due to private dining demand.
Weekday lunch: Light to moderate flow with little to no wait if booked ahead.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A handful of composed vegetarian starters and sides, though the menu is protein-centric.
Vegan options: Very limited—expect to rely on salads and vegetable plates; advance requests help.
Gluten-free options: Several dishes can be prepared gluten-free upon request, including select steaks and seafood.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a high-impact, formal setting with skyline views; it’s more grand and intimate than casual, ideal for a milestone first date rather than something low-key.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Rarely; the combination of private rooms and hotel traffic means walk-ins are unpredictable. Advance booking is strongly advised.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly; the environment is formal and best suited for adults. Older teens may fit the vibe, but young children may feel out of place.
Best For
Better for: High-stakes celebrations, formal business dinners, and romantic nights where views and polished service matter as much as the food.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a relaxed, casual steakhouse experience or a menu with robust vegan or budget-friendly options.
