Was our first visit to Lemon Grove. Had dinner there before a show at the Pantages. It is a rooftop restaurant atop a very exclusive social club in Hollywood. The ambiance and feel was awesome from the start. Very nicely set up. Have to admit the cocktails were not up to par. I had the Old Hollywood and Thousand Dollar Kiss. Would have been better off with a pour of bourbon neat. The entrees were better than expected. We had the Lemon Pasta with shrimp and the scallops. Both were epic! Hats off to the chef. If you are ever headed to a show at the Pantages, give this place a try.

Excellent service, excellent consideration of our dietary needs, and excellent food! Our waiter was exceptional and describes each dish we asked about in detail and gave perfect recommendations. The lamb dish was the best meat we have ever eaten - order it and enjoy! Persimmon stracciatella salad was also a favorite, could have ordered 2 because it was so good!

The ambience of this rooftop oasis was RUINED by a young couple next to us who were baiting each other into fights and blasting videos on their phones at each other. Given we were one of 3 tables on the whole terrace, I would have appreciated better space between diners. Food was special and service was otherwise terrific.

This is my favorite speakeasy type of bar lounge. Yes, it’s a little tricky to find but once inside it’s all worth it.
