    Had a birthday dinner here. Service was good I believe the owner was on the floor and she was very nice and welcoming. We had two of the pineapple mocktails which we enjoyed a lot. The food was amazing. Second to none in LA as far as Italian food. Filet tartare- loved the heat from the pepper Prosciutto pizza was perfect my girlfriend never eats pizza crust but she did with this one Butternut squash ravioli -pasta was perfect and the filling was delicious much more flavorful than others I've tried around the city Lobster tagliolini- I only had a bite of this but I enjoyed it Bombolone- the perfect amount of sweet while still being light Affogato- gelato was delicious espresso was perfect Every person coming into eat for the most part spoke Italian so that probably says something.

    Beautiful restaurant and decent food options! Overall experience was great. The worth of the food prices for the higher priced items was not entirely worth it. I ordered the New York strip, which was $84 for just the steak alone it is extra if you want to sides $18-$21. It was cooked nicely, decent thick cut of steak but not worth $84. The few lower priced entrées, appetizers items and pizza options are definitely worth more than the higher priced steak items. The $26 cake is a very big slice however looks better than it taste, which, if I can compare it to anything would be similar to a cake store-bought. Unless you just wanna try it for the experience like me go for it!

    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.
