Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Hollywood

We are a clearly visible lesbian and we were treated like any other couple and it was very reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable. We had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and funny and even said we were a cute couple! I’ve been eating at Burlock Coast for a few years now with my family and now my partner and it’s always a positive experience.

Valentine’s Dinner at J&C Oyster – A Night to Remember My wife and I had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at J&C Oyster, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the service—Charlie took incredible care of us. Attentive without being intrusive, he made sure every detail was perfect, offering great recommendations and ensuring our experience was top-notch. As for the food, we couldn’t have asked for better. We had the Ox Tail and Bone Marrow, and both were absolutely fantastic —cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight. Overall, J&C Oyster delivered a flawless dining experience. With excellent food, a great atmosphere, and outstanding service from Charlie, it made for a truly memorable Valentine’s celebration. We’ll definitely be back!

We had an incredible dinner. We went for Valentine's Day before a show across the street at The Parker Playhouse. There was a 3 course pre fixe menu and everything was delicious. Our server was lovely and the entire experience was worth repeating!

A cozy little speakeasy-style restaurant tucked inside Reunion Kitchen, serving high-quality omakase sushi. The fish was incredibly fresh, and each dish was beautifully executed, we savored every bite. However, the pacing could use improvement, as there were long waits between courses. With only two pieces of nigiri served at a time, the experience stretched over two hours for a total of 10 pieces, four small appetizers, one hand roll, and miso soup. While the quality was exceptional, the portion-to-price ratio felt underwhelming. Next time, we’ll skip the omakase and opt for rolls instead.

Food is very good and the setting can't be beat. They have to swap out the stark white tables because breakfast on a sunny day is all glare and it's tough to sit out there. No shade. My only real issue is that they weren't ready for us. When we arrived they didn't see our reservation and asked if we just booked it. No, we didn't. They didn't have a table for us outside as they gave them away to people that did not have reservations. They "found" our reservation and moved people around to accommodate, but as the host of the weekend, it wasn't a great impression. Moral, if you're a group (6 of us), call to make sure they know you're coming.
