    Let me know if I am missing anything… Dining at the Living Room for lunch was a mixed experience. While the food was delicious, we were surprised to find it was more of a bar atmosphere than a dedicated restaurant. Parking proved difficult and the valet service was quite expensive. The menu, though limited, offered tasty options. My cousin thoroughly enjoyed their expertly made Brandy Alexander, a classic cocktail of cognac, crème de cacao, and cream. My W Club sandwich and my cousin’s beef sliders were both delectable, although I felt they were overpriced. To finish, we shared their only dessert option, a delicious chocolate lava cake. The service, from the bartender to our server, was excellent throughout our meal.

    Superior service experience and delicious food. It is spendy, but completely delivers if your expectations are a classy and classic West Hollywood experience with charm and a gorgeous view. Anthony's over/above service while waiting in the bar area was precious.
