Best Historic Restaurants in Hollywood

Always a classic! Food and service are what make me happy! Cheers to historical LA!!

We always love 'coming home' to RAO's. The atmosphere is festive and the juke box is amazing. We love our favs - meatball app, baked clam app and caesar salad with lots of anchovies. As for mains, don't miss the on the bone veal parm. It's huge and mighty delicious. Also shareable or to bring home for great leftovers. Our secret find on the after dinner menu drinks menu. The Tignanello blew us away (and the bartender was so kind to share it between us!) We'll be back really soon - a delightful evening to help top off the holiday season.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Shirley Brasserie, located in the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the elegant and inviting ambience. The decor seamlessly blends classic Hollywood glamour with modern sophistication, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's creativity and attention to detail. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a great experience. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and accommodate any special requests we had. Overall, Shirley Brasserie exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. There are so many "fancy" restaurants in Los Angeles where the food is disappointing, but this was not one of them. Having known about Republique for many years and seeing it on many "best" lists I was prepared to be disappointed, but it met my expectations. My parents and I were very pleased with our meal, the service, and the ambience which is beautiful. It qualifies as one of the best restaurants we've eaten at in Los Angeles, and is deserving of its designation as one of LA's top restaurants.

Lunch Break menu was awesome. The chicken wing lollipops are next level amazing. I could eat them all day long. I want that recipe!
