First time here, the view the restaurant is great as it is 13 story high. Plenty of parking within the hotel (valid parking is not too bad; $15). The food was well seasoned and serving was big enough that the food can be shared. The...Read More

We really enjoyed our dinner at Agua Viva, even though it was cloudy overhead. The service was friendly, the ambience was relaxing, and the food and drink were phenomenal. Faves included the crab croquetas, salmon tiradito, and octopus. We will be back.

Agua Viva by Jose Andres is one of my new favorite open air brunch areas. It's not quite rooftop (elevator said floor 10) but it has the vibes of a rooftop bar. The design aesthetics were absolutely amazing, giving me Tulum vibes. We went …

Such a lovely respite in downtown Los Angeles. Beautiful outdoor venue with comfortable seating. Service is exceptional, they react and anticipate without being intrusive. The food is wonderful, expertly prepared and presented. The waiter knew exactly which wine to pair. A great experience.

Love this place and the views. Their burger is so delicious and juicy. The service is always fantastic. Always an adventure trying to exit the building. The Paloma should be reworked to be more authentically Mexican.
