I ordered steak with broccoli,mashed potatoes, and empanadas for the appetizer. It was DELICIOUS. Everything had so much flavor and made to perfection 👌🏾 I tried my family members food which was just as good. The portions for the sides are big enough for 2 EXCEPT for the asparagus. I enjoyed this restaurant a lot.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.

The ambiance was nice, clean and comfortable. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We only got the truffle fries, but they were very good. The drinks were good. A little pricey and came with the included 18% gratuity. But it's in LA so it was expected, so no big deal. The only problem was our reservations were for 615 and the entertainment didn't start until 730. The guy comes out on the piano plays 3 songs and stops. Then another show starts at 830. So the lack of entertainment was the only complaint about the evening. But we still had a good time.
