I blame myself for coming here for a New Year’s dinner. Obviously they were busy and unfortunately the food suffered for the. Firstly, the staff excellent. So nice and polite; very attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere, very romantic. Depending on where you sit, looking over the city at night — what a VIEW 😍 As mentioned, the food was subpar. The app was good. Got the lobster (or crab) bisque with no meat! I don’t need a lot, just 3-4 pieces and I’m happy. Main course, I got the surf and turf. Steak was cooked perfectly however the lobster was overcooked (gave it to my bf 😅). The dessert left much to be desired. It was just mousse, I was expecting either a small slice of cake or something. Mousse seems so cheap or a cop out to me (no offense). Still very pretty. Overall, for the price, I’ll think twice about coming here again. Like I said, I’ll avoid all holiday/events and see if the quality improves.

It's been a while and the place is better than before! Really upped their game. I also think the prices are reasonable being in the area it's in. 30 oz. Bone-in ribeye for $85 is not bad comparable to other steak houses in the area. Im not saying it's cheap but it's definitely a competitive price. Sides were all great including the escargo, fries, and shrimp cocktail. Will definitely return!

The ambiance with the city skyline in the backdrop is beautiful. We were lucky enough to go on a clear day. The team was beyond attentive and made sure we had the amazing service that was expected. The food was just as expected. Cooked to perfection and the sides (which are shareable) were all superb. They even made us specialty margaritas that weren't on the menu. You definitely get what you pay for at LA Prime.

I had high hopes for this restaurant as the hotel itself was excellent. However we had to wait thirty minutes for a table when there was no one dining there. We were told to go down to the bar for drinks while we wait. We both for a glass of wine which was marked $11 for a 6oz on the menu. After receiving the check it was $40 for two glasses of wine because the waiter decided to pour ua 9oz glasses. Then the food at this very fancy restaurant was absolutely disgusting. We barely touched any of the food. Sides were also gross.

Had a great time at LA Prime. Food and service was amazing. Our servers were very attentive and helpful. This is on the 35 floor of the Westin Bonaventure. We started with the chilled oysters, they were fresh and yummy! For dinner we had the Filet Mignon with the lobster tail. 2 sides were Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts. The views of the downtown L.A buildings were great. We will be coming back soon!

Very good food with a fantastic view. The food is well prepared, served hot and not rushed out. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, tasted great and served minimally prepared and served. The jambalaya had a bigger presentation with the crab and shrimp and was very tasty. The only thing lacking was it was missing any sign of the advertised andouille sausage. The brussel sprouts side was perfect. The decor is rather bland and understated, leaving the view as the main event. All in all the experience was a good one - solid food, great service and an amazing view (that you pay for with prices inflated by 20-30% over comparable places). We came for a birthday as did many others we could see. They brought out a nice little birthday treat. It's a place I feel for a special occasion.

The waiter threw away a book I forgot there, and I didn't find it at the hotel security the next day. The food is too generally cooked and lack of creativity under this price. I eat 280dollar per person but it should be an average of 150-250 bucks per people. I don’t recommend it because I found a better dinner steak house 1 mile away and it was half the price 140dollar/people. cooked with creativity and more private environment

Our server Maria was wonderful! They did not have the bottle of wine we wanted but she brought out something similar for us to try and choose to get that bottle. Then she made our anniversary dinner very special by bringing us dessert. I had the lobster and my husband had the steak. Everything was delicious and the views were also not bad to look at. We would definitely recommend and we hope to be back soon with friends.
