The music is awesome! The service is great! A place to enjoy a cocktail or two and reminisce with old friends.
Ordered the Escargot Bourguignonne, Calamari Fritti, Crispy Artichoke Hearts, and Chicken PIccata. The Escargot were buttery, flavorful, and the right firmness and chewiness to taste.

Went early on a Saturday on my way to the Greek. Lounge area fills up quick. Food was mid, I had the French dip. Drinks were just ok. Vibe was great. Not sure if I'd be back though

The Dresden Restaurant & Lounge is a Hollywood institution with a rich history, having been a cornerstone of East Hollywood since 1954. It offers a unique and glamorous atmosphere that attracts cinema enthusiasts. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing attentive service, although some guests have noted that the hosts can be a bit rude. The food may not be the highlight, but it is good enough to enjoy, with standout dishes like the carrot cake receiving high praise.
This place offers a classic Hollywood atmosphere with a dark, luxurious interior that immediately sets the mood. Guests appreciate the vintage elegance of the decor, featuring plush mid-century style and outdoor seating with privacy walls. Live music adds to the ambiance, making it a wonderful spot to unwind, although it can be quite loud for conversation. The restaurant provides two distinct experiences: the lively bar side with a live band and the more romantic dining area with dim lighting and small booth seating. Guests can enjoy cocktails and small plates, which are well-prepared and easy to share in a group setting. Parking is available for $8 if dining at The Dresden, but it is valet only. Overall, it is a nice step back in time, where guests can feel like stars in a sophisticated setting, making it a great spot for a stylish, laid-back evening.
