Riviera 31 Jazz Night is the he place to be on a Monday night! Nestled to the right of the lobby in the West Hollywood / Beverly Hills Sofitel, Riviera 31 hosts an eclectic mix of talented jazz musicians. There are many plush velvet couches to enjoy the performance while sipping on libations. Our servers were extremely fast and friendly - no doubt a feat given the large crowd in attendance. A couple bar bites and drink highlights:FOOD- Tuna Poke Tostada with Shaved Cabbage, Avocado, Mango Aji Amarillo Puree and micro cilantro -- was pleasantly surprised by the serving size- Pepperoni Cheese Pizza with House Tomato Ragu and Fresh Mozzarella -- the house made ragu tasted sweet- Wagyu Burger with crispy bacon, heirloom tomato, truffle Gouda, arugula, huckleberry spread, and pickles with truffle fries -- juicy and delicious - Jumbo Chicken Wings (choice of buffalo, sweet guajillo bbq, or spicy aji mango) with crudités and blue cheese dipDRINKS- Yoga Deck: ketel one botanical peach and orange blossom, turmeric ginger syrup and lemon juice -- refreshing and not too sweet - Mermaid drink: Malibu, Orgeat, Pineapple Cordial, Pomegranate. Ron Zacapa Rum 23 Year -- on the sweeter side- Old Fashioned with El Silencio Mezcal -- the mezcal added a nice Smokey flavor Such a fun experience! I can't wait to return :)

If you like great food, drinks, ambiance and live entertainment this is the place for you! A bit pricey, but itself worth it for the experience. The speciality drinks are really good. I didn't like the Paloma, but everything else I had was great. I had the wagyu burger with fries, and the tuna poke tostada off the bar bites section of the menu. First off the burger was an entree size, not an appetizer size. Second, the beef was delicious and well seasoned. The tuna poke tostada was also very generous in portion size and flavor was almost like a hint of BBQ; interesting in a good way. Lots of lounging areas, big bar, and a dining area off tthe back. Great spot for a classy night out with friends or date spot! They do Jazz nights every Monday, and Salsa every Wednesday! Allergy tip- our waitress advised to stay away from the fries as I have a peanut/nut allergy. The frier might be cross contaminated as they fry other items in there. Happy they were able to let me know!

The service at the bar was terrible. The bartender handed me a small bottle of Evian that was warm, with no ice, and it cost $15. I've had the large bottle there before, so this was surprising. When I politely asked for ice, the bartender got upset and started serving others. When I asked again, he snapped, saying, "I told you to give me 5 minutes!" Eventually, I had to ask a busboy for ice. To top it off, the bartender added a 20% tip for the poor service. Very disappointing experience. If they add their own tips they have absolutely no motive to serve properly. Just handing over a bottle of water without any ice

amazing indoor outdoor bar! live music on monday nights and it's free! they also serve amazing food and desserts.

Came here for a fun night with friends. We spent a lot of our time at the bar ordering drinks and as much as I don't mind waiting the attitude from the bar tender was ridiculous. He was extremely rude, rolled his eyes at us many times. We kept walking around the bar to see if someone else could serve us because he was rude to many people not just my group. We were polite and we were tipping him on TOP of the 20% they already slap on there. The music was amazing but they need to check the customer service at the bar. This gentleman obviously hates his job and wouldn't even give us his name. Please find friendlier staff.

I had high hopes for jazz night at the riviera 31. My friend told me it was amazing music, nice mixed group of people.. but he forgot to mention the terrible service which he soon remembered once i shared my experience with him. So if 5 is excellent I'll rate what i felt specifically below. Ambiance : 4, nice place dimly lit enough seating and or standing roomFood: 3., it wasn't great but wasn't terrible i have the crispy sweet potato and fennel and a salad. Ordering process/ service if you don't have a table reserved : 1, cocktail waitresses don't even want to answer questions, you are forced to get upFrom lounge seating to order everything and then they want you to come back to bar in10-15min to pick up your own plate and walk it back to wherever with your flat wear and drink and go eat wherever. I was completely shocked by this. Terrible way to serve people or add to an experience. It actually took away from my experience. Especially when my bill was $105 for 1 drink, 1 sparkling water, salad, and crispy sweet potatoes. Bartenders: 0 terrible service from all staff it's clear they aren't having fun which is sad because it's a nice place Music: 5! Band was great they had a variety of singers and played oldies. When i decided to order food i noticed ppl around me had tables and when there food came out the server actually brought a table.. so I'm like ok that would work. I don't know why but my food never came to me i had to walk to the bar walk back to where i was seated through a crowded bar area. I asked the bartender if he could get me a table he said no when i told him i saw others get a table to put their food on he said "would you like to speakTo a manager"? I said yes actually i would! I told the manager i simply asked for a table is that too much I'm dressed nice i ordered food i don't want to hold my plate all the while I'm wondering why i have to plead for a table. Anyway the manger brought one... he wasn't that nice. The service here is trash I'm sorry it kind of deters me from going back.

This spot is really nice to cone snd enjoy some good music, drinks and food. I had the smoked mezcal old fashion and it was really good. The service was good as well.

Inside the Mondrian this is a very sexy Vibe outdoors to the right of the inside bar. The bar and dance area is still closed but the garden is open for food drinks and socializing , not 6 feet distance. Def dress to impress here or be casual cool. Valet is $25 but if you are in heels you will just have to cough it up. Drinks are not strong but tasty AF. Food is eh and easy miss but it's really hard to socialize here without some sexy drink in hand! They make mock tails too but just one on menu. This is not really a bar mind you, so don't go crazy ordering. Def a bit me up spot, great music and vibe. So very LA.

Amazing place to sink into and see a free live jazz show on Monday's , The food and service is on point. The bar at Sofitel is an LA institution that still deliveres.
