    Water Grill has always been a great lunch location for me. 2 people for $83 before tax is steep for sure. Service and food is great, just the price point is a bit excessive.

    This was my first time visiting LA and dining at La Boucherie, and the experience was a 10 out of 10. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were captivated by the stunning views of the city skyline. Our server, Henry, was the epitome of exceptional service. He provided expert recommendations on the menu and ensured a seamless dining experience. I ordered the Filet Mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus while my colleague ordered the salmon. All delicious! Overall, La Boucherie offered a memorable dining experience that exceeded my expectations.

    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.
