About this restaurant

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.

    This place was really nice and we enjoyed it as a first time diner for my daughter’s birthday. The spoiler is approximately 5 minutes after paying the tab, we were asked to leave so they can accommodate another reservation. No time to digest your meal and dessert. Thank you, but no thank you. One and done!
