Worthy Picks
7.8
A 17th-floor hotel perch atop Hotel Angeleno that trades on 180-degree panoramic views stretching from downtown LA to the Pacific, pairing the skyline with sharable plates that pull from Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian kitchens. The kitchen runs technique-forward dishes like prosciutto-wrapped monkfish and corn-truffle ravioli, though hotel-level pricing means you're paying a premium for the elevation as much as the plate. Best on quieter weeknights for date nights—busy weekend crowds can push the volume toward sports-bar territory, which cuts against the rooftop romance the setting promises.
Must-Try Dishes:
Scottish Salmon with Okinawan Mash and Mango Chutney, Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze, Tuna and Golden Beet Tartare
What Makes it Special: 17th-floor perch atop Hotel Angeleno with 180-degree panoramic views from downtown LA to the Pacific, serving locally sourced sharable plates with Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian influences.
California cuisine served with panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains and Gehry architecture—the setting does most of the work here. Seasonal menus from farmers markets rotate regularly; dishes like the short rib plate and scallops deliver competently without attempting to compete with standalone fine dining. Factor in the $25 parking and tram logistics when planning; the experience is inseparable from the museum visit.
Must-Try Dishes:
Short Rib Plate, Cheese & Charcuterie, Cauliflower and Leek Soup
What Makes it Special: California cuisine with panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains and ocean
