We came here for my bday 2 years ago and it was one of the best meals Ive eaten in LA. Last night we returned with a couple who are business associates. I have to say I rarely give 5 stars but this was an exceptional meal. We had crispy tuna app, mushroom tempura, broccolini in chili sauce, the special whole fish with a sizzling sauce poured on at the table, flat noodles schewan style with short ribs, the crab fried rice. Everything was exceptional. The service was excellent and very attentive. thank you for an excellent experience.

The chef coming to speak to us personally at the table was an amazing compliment to phenomenal food, service and ambiance. I can not wait to come back to stay at the Pendry again and eat at Merois! Lastly, THE PEKING DUCK, AMAZING!!!!!!

Definitely have to order several items and share them with the table, the food is absolutely delicious and it's incredibly difficult to describe how amazing it was but it was one of my top experiences, I don't know how I will ever top this restaurant.
Ambiance is great , service and food are outstanding ! Atmosphere: Really cool date spot. The inside is beautiful. It's paired with an amazing view of Los Angeles. Worth it to go for dinner to experience the view at night.

Heather was the highlight of my night. She made the food somehow taste even better than it already was. Heather offered incredible service and I will definitely be returning back for service like heathers. 10/10 food.

Amazing!. The Asian fusion menu has a wide variety. Small dish sizes makes you taste many things on menu. We had the broccolini, spicy chicken dumplings, Beef skewers and Baby ribs. All with a mix of spices such as chili, peanut, garlic, cilantro and ginger. Started the meal with a pre dinner cocktail. Also top notch. Had to try desserts. Service very high from Brenda as server to host greeting and manager checking in on us. When it comes to the ambience I don't need to say it. Rooftop with panoramic views of the city. Cool interiors and perfect lighting. A must do in LA!

Food, service and aesthetics were fantastic! I came here directly from the London Hotel Industry Event and I was pleasantly surprised. The whole fried fish, jasmine rice, fingerling potatoes and NY steak was so mouthwatering. Also I never new how much I loved pistachio ice cream until this evening. I will absolutely be back!

The dining experience offered good, albeit pricey, Asian cuisine with an air of sophistication and authentic flavors. Despite the slightly inflated prices and the hefty automatic $280 service charge tip, the food was commendable. The toro tartar stood out for its deliciousness, and the hibachi dishes were thoroughly enjoyed by our party of 8, who sampled a variety of items from the menu.
I invited 5 friends after private event at Penthouse . Our friends were very satisfied about ambience and quality of food but our server was very rude to my guest so I was embarrassed as a host . She doesn't listen customer's request and ignored them with attitude - she even rolled her eyes when my guest asked server about her delayed order . We all felt that she doesn't fit into high end restaurant and doesn't have manners to customers . I usually have great experience with top notch service at Merois but we didn't have luck this time !

This is a 3.5 rounded to 4 Wow, from when we went up the elevator to the entrance to the view. We did the valentines menu and the ambiance to the service was just so romantic and beautiful. There was a photographer going around taking polaroids of you in front of the flowers and a violinist too! The appetizers included mushroom spring rolls, nigiri, crispy rice, and oysters. They were all delicious, but it didn't feel unique to the restaurant. For the entree, we received the NY steak and lobster in curry. The lobster was so plump, beautifully presented, and the curry was my favorite thing that night. The steak was cooked perfectly as well, but the sauce was similar to a honey mustard from McDonalds and the fried rice was a bit .. bland? It was also pretty spicy but that's just what it tasted like. Spicy rice. The dessert was so cute, it was a chocolate ball with some coconut mousse thing inside. Such great flavors, I loved every second of it. I was a bit sad of how they ended our experience (below) The photographer finally came by during dessert and we decided to take a Polaroid of us by the entrance. We then come back to our table being cleaned up, they took our plates and drinks that were full so we just stood there awkwardly as they set up a new table We stood there for a while looking for our server but the manager came by and escorted us to the waiting area outside. After a while, they handed our check for our drinks and extras we got. There was a service fee on our check which is fine, but we didn't know if we still needed to add gratuity from the dinner (which was paid online beforehand, and there was also a service fee on that too) The service kind of fell off at the end, and the food was amazing but nothing too spectacular or unique

Came here for an early birthday celebration and I was so impressed by the restaurant that I had to write a review. The ambience is cute and intimate with the majority of seating being booths. We got seated at a corner booth by the windows so we got a great view of the city. We got the Peking Duck, Whole Sizzling Fish, & Crispy Rice Tuna Rolls-- definitely more than enough food for 2. Although the fish was our favorite dish, the Peking Duck stole the show; we got to see them carve the duck in front of us and there was not a single part of the duck wasted. The dish comes with vegetables & scallion pancakes to make your own wrap and the remaining parts of the duck are used in a sticky rice dish. Everything was so yummy and such great quality, but the PORTIONS!! Everything was 100% worth the price and we can't get over it. Our server, Brenda, was also so lovely and she made the experience so much more enjoyable than it already was. She took care of us and coursed out our meal + hid our birthday cake from the birthday boy as well. Definitely a must on Sunset! Can't wait to see this place blow up!

My date took me to this spot for post Valentine's Day celebration. As soon as we arrived and managed to find the elevator leading up to the roof top where the restaurant is located, we were met with a beautiful LA city view. We were led to our cozy booth and our server was nothing short than amazing. He gave us recommendations on wine and food pairings which we tried out and did not disappoint. All the food was delicious with an array of deep flavors that included Japanese, South Asian and French cuisine. We will definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions!
