I celebrated my 30th birthday at mama shelter and it was amazing! The service was excellent, the views were stunning, and the drag king and queen show made the experience unforgettable. They even ended the brunch with a fun raffle. Just a heads-up, there’s a $35 cake-cutting fee, but it was well worth it for such a memorable celebration. Highly recommend!

A Memorable Dining Experience at Status Hollywood I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Status Hollywood today, and I cannot say enough about how incredible the experience was. Chef John and Alisa truly outdid themselves, creating a dining experience that was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the plates arrived, each dish was a masterpiece. The oxtail sliders, goat curry, jerk chicken, and lamb chops were all exquisite—each bite was full of flavor, cooked to perfection, and simply delightful. The sides, from the rice to the cabbage, were equally amazing, complementing the dishes beautifully. Even the strawberry lemonade was a standout—it was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The ambiance of Status Hollywood added so much to the experience. The music set the perfect tone, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was warm and inviting. Everything about this place exudes excellence. I can’t wait to come back, try more dishes, and share this gem with friends. Chef John and Alisa, thank you for making today so memorable with your incredible talent and warm hospitality. Status Hollywood is a place I’ll be raving about to everyone I know. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! #StatusHollywood #IncredibleFood #AmazingAmbiance #MemorableDining
