    Restaurant has a great view and great vibe. Liked our food. Service at the hotel is amazing but staff at restaurant did not have same service. Very entitled nd poor service as it’s expensive so they expect good tip regardless.

    Such a beautiful rooftop patio in the heart of Hollywood. Quiet. Hidden. Serene. Scenic. Food was delicious. Drinks left something to be desired, but could have just been what we ordered. Hostess was the sweetest! So many great photo spots around the rooftop after brunch. Highly recommend if you are looking for an elevated but not boogie brunch.

    I’ve visited Lemon Grove multiple times, but I recently took my brothers here for their birthday. The staff was incredibly attentive and loving towards them. Travis, our waiter, was fantastic. He patiently explained the menu items to them since it was their first time dining at the restaurant. He also made sure to attend to our table throughout the meal. They were so grateful and expressed their excitement to return. Thank you, Lemon Grove, for helping me create a memorable night out for them! 🍋
