Very delicious food and drinks (albeit a little expensive). The vibe is very chill, seating is close knit so if you want your space I'd call in advance or avoid here. Top shelf liquor in the bar, fresh catch seafood, amazing crisp salad with a unique dressing! My favorite part was the view, though. You can see all of the basin from the corner seats, and even parts of Hollywood Blvd from the right side! Definitely recommend if you want a beautiful, scenic night out. Group seating is readily available, and 2 person seating is closer together.

Service was good. Ambience and vibe was good. Food was good but overpriced, nothing spectacular. I had the açai bowl, tasted good but the base was way too runny. I liked that they gave multiple milk alternative options for the milk base. I chose the oat milk base. My friend had the cavatappi pasta w/ salmon he said it was good. The drinks were good but not strong.

They should advertise that there is a two hour limit on eating when making the reservation. Empty tables everywhere and we were asked to leave 5 min before time was “up”. Also no one bussed our tables (yuck!). Food not that great - service “just ok”

Ambiance is nice but the food, drinks, and service wasn’t good. It wasn’t busy (Saturday night) so service should have been better, the worst pasty is that NONE of the bathrooms had any soap…. It’s 2022, that’s not okay. Any other place on that street would have been better.

It was sooooo expensive for what we got. Cocktails at $24, water was $12, and flatbread will run you $24. A plate of vegetables was $19! We basically had appetizers and one drink for two people and it was over $150 with tip. Sooo not worth it.

The reservation was for 9:30, they seated us at 10:15 and the restaurant closes at 11. The service was awful they brought the dessert while we were still eating our main course. And then because the grill closes and the club opens they got someone to escort us aka kick us out when it hit 11:30 even though we hadn’t even hit our “2 hour” dining time yet. Overall horrible experience the food was AWFUL, the service was awful and I would not recommend this place.

I recently had lunch with a friend at the Highlight Room. Everything about the experience -- from the helpful staff in the lobby of Dream Hollywood to the delicious fare -- was top notch. I ordered a burger done rare and it was EXACTLY rare, the Negroni was expertly mixed, the olive oil cake a perfect top-off to a meal. The wait staff was attentive without being obstrusive and the setting is classy yet comfortable (and the view is grand!) A good spot for an enjoyable meal in the heart of Hollywood.

Great views of Hollywood and excellent service but if you are going there on a Sunday afternoon for an elegant brunch, this is probably not the right choice for that. Although the restaurant is a separate area from the pool and pool cabanas, the music and atmosphere is like a club on a Saturday night. I couldn't hear the person directly across from me at the table and getting to and from the restaurant area requires you to walk along the pool between the pool and the cabanas. If the restaurant was not a separate area, I would understand the music and music volume but it seems unnecessary to have the music blaring in the restaurant as well as the pool area. Just not my kind of scene on a Sunday afternoon for dining.

Spontaneously wanted brunch in a rooftop and was able to book a table so easily! The Highlight Room greeting was lovely, the rooftop restaurant a delight. A cool breeze and the best cherry bomb French toast made it perfect for Sunday Funday 💋 next time I need a spot by the pool … I am loving The Dream ☀️

We had someone sit on half of my seat for half the time we were there and talking so loudly. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I won’t recommend this place for dates or dinner. Waiter didn’t tell us the appetizers were large plates meant to be shared. Ruined my appetite after having a “flatbread” which was a large pizza. Definitely not going back. For the amount of money we spent I was hoping to have at least pleasant experience. I wish the was a way to block this restaurant on opentable.
