What makes it special: A designer hotel rooftop where refined small plates and full entrees meet cinematic Beverly Hills views.
Who should go: Date nights and special-occasion dinners that lean luxurious.

What to order: Hamachi crudo, lobster roll, pan seared king salmon.
Insider tip: Reserve brunch or earlier evening to enjoy the pool deck vibe before it gets busier.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet at the SLS Beverly Hills is the primary option (typically $15–$20). Street parking in Beverly Grove is limited and often permit-restricted, especially after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual with a polished edge — think elevated denim, button-downs, chic dresses, or stylish separates. Lean dressy for evening.
Noise level: Moderate. The open-air deck has ambient music and rooftop buzz, but you can comfortably hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, depending on weather and rooftop events.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait; often seated immediately or within 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several shareable plates and sides can be made vegetarian, including salads and vegetable-forward dishes.
Vegan options: Limited — expect 1–2 inherently vegan items; others may be modified with advance notice.
Gluten-free options: Good availability — many seafood and protein entrées are naturally gluten-free, and staff are accustomed to accommodating requests.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The rooftop views, softly lit ambiance, and refined small plates make it ideal for a romantic but not overly formal first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possibly, but not guaranteed. Walk-ins are easier earlier in the evening or during weekday brunch/lunch. For prime sunset or weekend nights, book ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat. While children are allowed, the vibe skews adult and date-oriented. Best for older kids or teens; no specific kid menu or entertainment.
Best For
Better for: Luxe rooftop ambiance, polished Californian plates, and romantic date-night energy compared to more casual rooftop spots.
Skip if: You want a budget-friendly meal, a lively party rooftop, or a kid-centric environment — other venues in Beverly Grove may suit those needs better.
