Everything was perfect except for the music. It was a little too loud and too hip hoppish. I was hoping for a more relaxing feel. Other than that, it was an amazing culinary experience. I'd go there again.

I think we had an expectation that this was going to be a chiller vibe so I don't think my review of this place is fair if you're in the know that it's very much a loud, boisterous place. Everyone was really nice and the view is stunning. Food was good, drinks just fine.

Cool vibe. Food was good but not exceptional. Service was pretty good but considering there were about 3 tables occupied and about 15 wait servers it could have been better. I was surprised how empty it was for a Saturday night. And it's also pretty hard to find the entrance.

I’ve been coming to Harriet’s Rooftop for quite some time because the location is truly beautiful, and the staff at the entrance and in service are always polite and professional. But the bar staff, especially the male bartenders, are absolutely unbearable.
They are rude, arrogant, and treat guests with no respect. You honestly feel like you’re being treated like garbage, and it’s not just me, I’ve seen the same thing happen to other guests as well. On top of that, drinks are often overcharged, and instead of showing any understanding or fixing the issue, they aggressively push you to pay immediately.
This kind of behavior completely ruins the experience of such a nice rooftop. The bar staff urgently needs to be replaced, because they do not fit with the otherwise great atmosphere!!!

My experience here was a very tragic. I came here for my birthday. The staff was very rude even though I had reservations. I was told that I had to be done eating my dinner by 10:30 due to a private event, which was never which was never said to me beforehand. As I proceeded to take a couple photos, they told me that I was causing a commotion and chaos in the restaurant. A security guard also came over and told my sister she had to leave because she didn't have her glasses on and was kind of stumbling a bit I gave her glasses and he still proceeded to kick her out And then he proceeded to steal her glasses. This place is not a place that you should come to for like personal events like birthdays they don't like birthdays they actually hate birthdays. They actually hate me. They gave me a Matcha pudding for my birthday instead of give me a birthday cake on my birthday so I had no birthday cake on my birthday. how rude !

Came on a Sunday for dinner and to my surprise was a loud club vibe. I was expecting a nice quiet evening to celebrate my Anniversary. The waitress was very good though checking on us, food was good not great. Parking valet is $23

Harriet's looks great on Instagram, but the reality is a whole different story. The food is wildly overpriced for portions that feel like polite samples, and the taste doesn't even try to justify the bill. Music was blasting like we wandered into a club instead of a restaurant that pretends to be "elevated." We booked an outdoor reservation specifically for the view, but they sat us inside without hesitation. When we asked to move, they shrugged it off with a "those are all reserved," which is a hilarious thing to say to someone who literally had an outdoor reservation. The whole point of going there was the view, and they couldn't be bothered. To top it off, the place is crawling with security. Not one or two--enough that it starts to feel like you're about to witness a crime scene. It absolutely kills whatever relaxed or romantic vibe you came in hoping for. Mediocre food, loud music, bait-and-switch seating, and a weirdly tense atmosphere. Harriet's is all image and no substance. Plenty of better spots in the city where you don't feel ripped off or on edge.

Huge disappointment. I’d been wanting to check this place out for a while, but beyond the view, there’s not much to recommend. The sushi tasted a little off, the salads were barely dressed, and the decor felt more “office lunchroom” than “night out.” On top of that, the prices were high enough to make me wish the food matched the scenery.
Our server Brook was amazing. Drinks are good, food is good and the atmosphere is fantastic.

I had an extremely disappointing and hurtful experience at Harriet’s Rooftop in West Hollywood. As a dark-skinned Black woman, I was denied entry while others—lighter-skinned or non-Black—were allowed in without issue. It was clear that the establishment is selective based on skin tone and appearance, not behavior, dress code, or reservation status.
I’ve since learned that others have had similar experiences, and there’s even public conversation about a man named Robi Davidson, reportedly associated with this venue, who has been linked to several court cases in LA for discriminatory practices.
It’s unacceptable that a business in such a diverse city would uphold colorist and racist standards in 2025. Harriet’s should be called out for their blatant bias and exclusion of beautiful dark-skinned women. We deserve to feel welcomed, respected, and celebrated—not judged or discarded at the door.
Until this place addresses their gatekeeping practices and treats all guests equally, I cannot recommend anyone support this rooftop. Do better.

The service was no where to be found. I had a reservation, I showed up on time and my table still wasn't ready . Fine that's okay then I get sat at a table and the get told it's the wrong table only to be over to a dirty table and told to wait . Then I get sat at another table that was exactly the same as the first ahah😂 the server girl never even introduced herself I thought she was a busser or something. So we just had a drink and left. Cool ambience. Horrible service .
