Restaurants near Central Hollywood Studio

Service - amazing and fast service. Requested to change the table we were originally seated at because the table we were at was low. They accommodated my request and gave us a regular table. Drinks and food came out fairly quickly. Food: Pan seared chicken gyozas - 8/10 Rock shrimp lettuce cups - 9.5/10 Wagyu Skewers - 10/10 Vegetable Lo Mein - 7/10 Orange Chicken - 8/10 Sweet & Spicy Shrimp - 10/10 Chinese Broccoli - 8/10

Our server was absolutely wonderful, and it was very nice that they brought him a glass of champagne on the house for his 30th birthday. The cocktails were good but not mind-blowing and are all minimum 20 dollars each. The food is a pretty good value though, and was tasty. The starters were an okay size, but the portions for everyone’s main were large which I appreciated. No one left hungry! Very full. I like the ambience of the inside but it does get very loud on a busy night, not super intimate.

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.

This was our first time to Gwen. When we first walked in we were greeted with a smile by the hostess and seated immediately. We enjoyed the upstairs dining room that was quiet and cozy. Jordan or server was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable answering our questions and giving spot on recommendations. As each course was served the entire service team were friendly and explained what we were about to eat. We started with cocktails and the charcuterie board that awoke our pallettes for what else was to come. We also the loved the sunchokes with black sesame hummus. For our main we ordered the Wagyu flat iron steak, black truffle papadelle, roasted mushrooms and duck fat potatoes. The flavors of our entire meal all went well together leaving us pleased with our choice. We ended our meal with cappuccino and the banoffee pie for dessert. We had the best time and left us excited to return talking about what we would order next time.

Make your reservations quickly. We love this place. We drive from Santa Clarita just to eat here. The food is fabulous. The people are so wonderful. The service is awesome. The steak was prepared perfectly to how we ordered. The potato au gratin was delicious, best ever. And the desert......wow If you have never been here before, it is a must go to. They will show you how restaurants use to be like and have you crave for more.
