Restaurants near The Standard, Hollywood

Server was very friendly. Really nice place but host took a second to get us a table

Wolfgang Puck checks all the boxes and serves an amazing lunch at Merois—and lunch happens to be my favorite meal. The rooftop restaurant is completely open from front to back, allowing plenty of light and fresh air to flow from Sunset Boulevard to the sweeping views of the city. It’s also located near the pool, which gives everything a great resort-meets-beach vibe right in the middle of the city. Cocktails are a must—they showcase a bartender’s ability to strike the perfect balance. We tried Island in the Sun, made with Haku Vodka, Thai basil, bergamot aperitif, and lemongrass. It wasn’t overpowered by sweetness and was perfectly balanced. We also had Pepino’s Revenge, with Altos Blanco Tequila, Japanese cucumber, Thai basil, lime, and salt—refreshing and bright. For lunch, we had the Hamachi Tostada with yuzu kosho and avocado—mind-blowingly delicious; I could eat it all day. The Singaporean Baby Back Ribs were sticky and sweet, with pickled peppers adding a nice bite. Even the “plain” green salad surprised us—it had the most amazing ginger vinaigrette, just the right amount, and a beautiful variety of greens. The Crab Fried Rice with Peking Duck, dashi omelet, and garlic chive ranks among the best fried rice dishes I’ve ever eaten. Every bite was loaded with flavor, and the rice wrapped in the omelet was brilliant. What makes service perfect? Knowing when to be at the table and when to stay away. That awareness speaks to the overall balance of the experience—outstanding food, great service, and a casually elegant atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable lunch.

Friendly place. Huge meals and tasty. Fun and party place even on weekdays.
