Tucked away in the heart of West Hollywood, The Nice Guy is an intimate restaurant and lounge, complete with world-class culinary offerings. A step above a restaurant, but not quite a club, the venue is a cozy, reservations-only destination for h.wood friends and family. Its aesthetic evokes the decadent lore of mafia bars and restaurants, where the owners and their friends could enjoy an evening together. Whether grabbing an early dinner or mingling into the early morning hours, the space cultivates a feeling of camaraderie among its clientele, which keeps guests coming back night after night.

    Wasn’t worth it. The food was decent not worth the prices. The atmosphere was pleasant but very loud. The cocktails are extremely overpriced and barely artisan.

    Great food, nice setting. Too noisy for group conversation, so better suited to tables of four max.

    Came there ordered the mozzarella it came out cold didn’t say anything I understand that we ordered a bunch of food, but they forgot about our fried calamari. We had to remind them when they bought out our main course, then I ordered three glasses of 1942 the first glass. I watched the bartender grab the bottle from the top shelf the second glass came out didn’t taste the same, so I ordered another one and watched to see if they were gonna grab the bottle. The waitress arrived with my glass so I told the waitress I didn’t see him grab the bottle of 1942 from the top shelf like they did on the first one. She said we keep one behind the bar which was awkward and it definitely didn’t taste like 1942 spent $700 at the location. I never mind spending money but it wasn’t worth it.

    Love the restaurant and the service was EXCELLENT. What we just had a hard time with is TURN UP THE LIGHTS. PLEASE NO ONE is a bat with radar. It's so dark, and I get the "groovy" ambience it may create, but for those of us trying to enjoy conversation, cocktails and good food, you can't even see the menu. You can't EVEN SEE the food that was set in front of you.

    What usually is an amazing experience was the complete opposite this trip. Waited 30 minutes to be seated while multiple parties that came after me were seated. When I asked the host why she stated “oh I’m waiting for your table outside”. Which was crazy because I had reservations for the inside. She didn’t even look. Then in the end proceeded to give me the smallest table all the way in the back. Won’t be returning.

    Our meals were just not as good as they have been in the past. Rigatoni Bolognese was just bland tomato sauce without any meat and very small portions. Drinks were very weak with little alcohol. Surprising bc we’ve always had a great experience here.
