    My experience at this place was absolutely incredible! The service was top-notch, and the waitress who took care of us was simply amazing. She was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient. She even checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Her suggestions and recommendations on the menu were spot-on, especially since she seemed to know everything about their offerings. This isn’t my first time here, and I’m already planning to come back again and again. This place is truly amazing!

    We expected a special experience at the Tower Bar Restaurant this week, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected! The atmosphere was timeless and chic, the food was exceptional, and the service was beyond compare. It started at the front desk and was superb throughout our meal. We were never rushed, and were able to enjoy a long and relaxing brunch with multiple courses. The price was more reasonable than expected. And Angel our server was a true brand ambassador … he was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and made us want to not only return to the restaurant, but stay at the hotel the next time that we are in town. Thanks so much for a superb dining experience for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back again.

    Their menu changes completely every few months, but we've been going regularly for over 2 years, and have never had a bad meal. We've always had good service as well. Although not inexpensive, their meals offer a reasonable value compared to other restaurants within easy walking distance of the Chandler Pavilion/Music Center.

    Worth a visit for breakfast whether you're shopping the LA Flower Mart or not! I changed up and went with the shrimp n grits. The grits were better than most in town and the dish was flavor-packed! I could go for more grits in the serving though. My date had the crab benedict which she loved, with the exception of the biscuit. I had to agree, it was a little too dense. You can't miss with the chicken and waffles here. I also tried the Rose Mojito for the first time and the second time, lol! Really good, so be careful!
