shoutout to the valet guy, was very sweet bringing my phone to me after realizing I forgot in the car. Came for brunch on a Sunday, I love it! it was busy, but the service still very promptly and fast. Really beautiful place, I love the flowers arrangements and atmosphere. The menu was awesome with a lot of options, everything looked delicious, great food presentation and very tasty. I wish I could’ve tried everything, definitely coming back.

Brunch at Arden in West Hollywood was a delight! The cozy, chic atmosphere set the tone, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. Highlights were the Arden Omelette, brunch cocktails and fresh juices that rounded out the meal. Highly recommend for a memorable brunch experience!

nothing special about it. The most averagely pretentious place I’ve been to in a while. Go only if you’re famous, evidently rich, or with a large group so they feel excited about their tip. I also got a stomachache.

We took my stepdad here for his birthday and it was a lovely experience! It's a beautiful restaurant that is like a giant patio covered in foral. It almost feels like a fairy garden. It's a lovely spot for a party or a date night!
The food was delicious. You order everything at once and then it comes out as it's ready, but we didn't feel overloaded with food at once. Everything is good for sharing, so we ordered a range of items and split all of it. My favorite was probably the branzino fish, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Panna Cota dessert was also to die for!
Our server, Mika, was very pleasant and informative. She checked on us regularly and made sure we had a good time.
We went on a Tueaday so it wasn't super crowded, but I can see it getting lively on weekends. There is valet and street parking, but that's limited.
Overall we had a great time! The whole experience was enjoyable and the food was absolutely delectable!

This place is enchanting. It was my daughter's sweet 16 birthday and the hostess made sure to greet us with a thoughtful birthday greeting. They really made us feel so special. Our waiter Javier was 10/10 he was knowledgeable about the specials/recommend and surprised us with amazing mocktails. ? The food was also 10/10. We had the arden pancakes, French toast and breakfast plate! Bravo, ?!

I celebrated my birthday dinner at Arden with my girls, and it was perfect! The vibe was incredible – stylish, lively, and just the right ambiance for a special night out. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were on point. We had such a great time laughing, eating, and enjoying the whole experience. The staff was friendly and made us feel so welcome. I honestly can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend Arden for anyone looking for a fun night out with amazing food and drinks!

I had a very pleasant experience at Arden, especially with services provided by the server Paul. He was the perfect blend of professionalism, efficiency and kindness. His customer service was impeccable. I would have bought more food if I had more space in my stomach. With the way that he describes and talks about the food/origins of the Arden restaurant itself, it is sooo apparent that he cares. Paul ensures the best possible experience for the guest from start to finish. Because of Paul’s services, I absolutely must return to Arden again soon ?

Fell in love with the Hostess, Bartender and waitress, and it was run like a well oiled machine. However, the food did not live up to the vibe.

What a beautiful restaurant.
Loved the Vibe, the music, the ambience and the food! We ordered lots of appetizers, pizza and salad and ALL WERE DELICIOUS!
Mike our server was so nice and helpful recommending food for us. Drinks are a little pricey but other than that it was great! The bartenders were super nice!! I felt like I was in Paris with the decor! Then our waiter was so sweet and told us if we wanted to go to the Speakeasy in back with a Magic show! That was great too! All around 5 Stars.
Thanks Mike!

i came for my best friends 18th birthday. everything was great until two security guards at the front completely ruined the experience. they kept harassing us the whole night. at first, they said we couldn’t use flash photography, which we completely respected. we even moved out of the way to continue taking photos (without flash). then, they came back and we couldn’t take photos at all, which really took us aback because there’s no photo policy on Arden’s site and we have seen people take countless pictures here (with flash as well). they started bothering us more and asking us if we dined there (we were and spent a hefty amount of money and time there) and then proceeded to kick us out for doing things that everyone else was doing. we weren’t making a big scene when speaking with the security guards; we remained calm and only asked as to why we couldn’t take pictures but everyone else could. they were extremely rude and kicked us out after making us (a group of young teenage girls and two children) super uncomfortable and watching our table. i personally love this restaurant and have been many times with family. i have taken pictures and had a great time with no problems at all. having this happen really saddens me. nobody should be harassed to the extent that we were, especially since we were a group of (mainly) underage girls. for the sake of other people and girls, please fire these two men.

I had a great experience at Arden last night celebrating my birthday. The food was great, the service from the waiters were great, and the overall environment wasn’t too overbearing. It was up until we started taking photos that 2 security guards in the front started telling us that we couldn’t take photos with flash on. We respected the rule and continued to take photos without flash. You would expect this place to be notorious for photo-taking, but I guess the security guards disagree! Even after we respected the no flash photography rule, the guard at the front of the restaurant came back and told us we couldn’t take photos at all. I was surprised, since prior to us taking photos, there was a larger group of people taking many photos without issues. I also don’t understand why this was demanded from us even though there is not a single rule on the website talking about photos. The security guard proceeded to ask us unnecessary questions like if we dined there. I spent about $450 plus a tip for my party of 6 and took that question very personally. He kicked us out shortly after, and we were left on the streets. I had 2 children with me who were distressed the whole time, and the rest of us were teenage girls. I will not be returning to this restaurant or recommending it to anyone unless those extremely selfish, entitled security guards are fired. Very disappointed from a place that was talked so highly about; safe to say that ruined the second half of my birthday.
