Merois

Loved loved loved this spot for Valentines Day dinner with my love.Booked if a month or so in advance for the rooftop romantic vibe for Valentine's Day and wasn't disappointed.Located at the top of the Pendry West Hollywood Hotel, it was the perfect intimate vibe. The hotel is located at the corner of a street around the corner for entrance and has valet parking that can be validated at the restaurant and costs $20.Margarete was our waitress and such a joy! Super friendly, very accommodating, and gave great recommendations!The food was amazing and I was not expecting to get as much variety and quantity for the price. The highlight for me was definitely the Oysters which were super delicious and had great accoutrements! Everything was delicious overall though, and I'd definitely opt in for the caviar, which was another highlight.The menu was perfectly curated and we were left super satisfied and the view was to die for.

If you're looking for great food, I would suggest you look elsewhere. Other than that, you have a beautiful city view, cozy ambiance and outstanding customer service for $300+ for 2. This restaurant a Wolfgang Puck's creation and coming here, the bar was set pretty high to match my previous experience at CUT Beverly Hills and Frontera Fresca Chicago. I had oysters (west coast variety -- I don't do east cost) and for $48 for half a dozen I expected out of ordinary which they were not. They all were small like Kumamoto and tasted pretty bland. The mignonette says was seriously uninspiring. Vinegar was overpowering. The Singaporean baby back ribs were probably the best in our meal but slightly overcooked. I liked the coffee coating. Mushroom tempura was ok. And the lobster spring rolls were pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the crab fried rice. Something about the odor it produced. Valet is $20 with the validation from the restaurant. There's no valet pick up off of Sunset, you have to turn right on Olive and then left to the hotel valet area. It took us a few laps to figure it out.Jan, 2025

This year for my birthday we tried their dinner! Everything was delicious but the most memorable:Medium Rare Wagyu Filet Peking DuckMedium Rare NY steakBrussel sproutsSpikey Lemon Calamansi CakeUbe Basque Cheese CakeI was really impressed that they rolled out the whole duck and carved the white meat to serve at our table. I was raving about the skin perfectly lightly crisped and fatty and around tender meat complimented by a familiar duck sauce without overpowering the duck's flavor. BTW It can definitely feed more than two especially if you're ordering other items. Both the wagyu and NY strip was absolutely best served medium rare. I was very surprised at how wasabi vinaigrette complimented the Wagyu so well without it being overly spicy. Also, the New York strip was a very thick cut and the accompanying bone marrow and greens really added to the special flavor experience of the steak. The mustard and bacon bits sauce on that brussel sprouts was incredible. Also the sear created a flaky crisp on the outer layers of the veg. It was just right!Also, I really liked their White Pearl Drink. Watch out for that spicy kick. And of course we already knew we were gonna enjoy the Spikey Lemon and Ube Cheese cake! They are consistently rich, distinctly flavorful highlighting their ingredients very specifically. You can recognize the calamansi and ube flovors really well. Really glad that the crab fried rice went well with everything. And surprisingly, we found that the curry was overshadowed by the other items. Notable:The service was very friendly and they love to talk. The new general manager was extra attentive. I especially loved our server Kheani (forgive my guess at the spelling), K had great best friend energy, kept great pace in checking in with us, and bonus she did an above and beyond effort taking group photos of us that included the city background. Unfortunately, our drinks however came slower than we liked, especially when our coffee came way after we were done with our dessert. The ambience of course is impeccable. Although, the lighting can feel too dim and the table too small for 4-5 guests when the orders starts coming in. We've had to maneuver the little table lamp a lot to accommodate our meal experience.

An absolutely scrumptious and lovely experience from beginning to end. The space is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing view and an airy yet upscale feel. Service was friendly yet attentive - that great balance that you can find at upscale fine dining restaurants that have their act together. Food was awesome - from our dumpling starters to the spikey lemon desert - it all knocked the ball out of the park. Hope we get to return someday for another memorable meal.

It's quite clear - and pretty absurd - that the kitchen and management doesn't uphold the qualities once instilled by their founder, Wolfgang Puck. Then again, maybe the Chef's focus has shifted and he's more concerned about frozen pizza and airport food courts than his "high end" restaurants.We came by Saturday for lunch and one of the absolutely undeniable positives about Merois is the space. It's gorgeous with amazing views of the city. Although it's connected to the hotel pool, it wasn't loud to interfere with our meal.However, on a Saturday at noon, up until we left at 1:30, there were at most 4 tables occupied between the main dining and the bar areas. A bit intriguing if you ask me.I started off with the 'doctor's orders' cocktails. The seaweed was a bit strong and threw off the flavor but once I took it out, the cocktail itself was smooth and had great flavor.We started off with the ora king salmon which seemed to imitate - but not quite meet - Nobu's tiradito or new style sashimi. It was good but nothing great, the flavors were mild and it just didn't have that "wow" factor. We shared a few main dishes including the crab fried rice, Singaporean ribs, New York steak, and chinois salad.The crab fried rice was so bland and dry. The crab chunks had no flavor. The rice was no better than what any average cook can make at home or what any average Chinese take out has to offer. The chinois salad was the most underwhelming. Bland on bland. Hardly any dressing, and not that we want our salad drenched in it, but enough to taste what the salad is supposedly famous for.The ribs actually had amazing flavor but they were charred beyond belief and it seems like they were day(s) old with how dry they were.And the steak actually had a good sear but half of it was rare and the other half was medium. It's like they only put half on the heat more to continue cooking. The bone marrow with it was good and the miso sauce was decent but tasted too diluted.Why didn't we mention this at the time we ate? Quite frankly we were so disappointed that we had no hope of any revival or fixture the kitchen could offer, considering how poorly the initial execution was. We did reach out directly to the restaurant after and received this tired old, corporate emotionless response: "On behalf of the entire Merois team, we'd like to apologize for the experience you had during your recent visit. Our highest priority is to ensure that we meet the standards of our valued guests; we are sorry to hear that we fell short of your expectations. The feedback you have shared is important to us, and we will use it to continue to improve our service. If need any further assistance please feel free to reply directly to this email."We didn't expect a refund of our check but my God, at least don't use a copy and paste response.

I came with a group for a birthday party. The view was fantastic and the service above average. The location was exquisitely designed - a photographer's dream. I had the Grilled Lamb Chops and was not disappointed. Prepared perfectly medium rare, a very nice choice. The menu was loaded with so many entrees I was having trouble manning a decision. One of our guests ordered the Angry Lobster and was very pleased. The view of the city certainly added to the dining experience. My only complaint was no street parking anywhere close to the location. We finally resorted to valet parking.

Highlights: Crab salad, crab fried rice, lobster, pad thai, pecking duckThis is my fourth visit, and it never disappoints. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy Wolfgang Puck's fusion Asian cuisine while taking in the stunning views of West Hollywood. The food, ambiance, and service are all top-notch. Highly recommend!

It was a special night at Wolfgang Puck's Merois restaurant situated on the rooftop of the Pendry hotel in the heart of Weho's Sunset Strip. The various penthouse views afforded a panoramic sight of all of Los Angeles South as well as seeing houses clinging on the hillsides of the Santa Monica Mountains. Marqués de Murrieta Estates & Wines presented a Rioja Wine Dinner with associated multicourse Spanish influenced cuisine. International Director Arthur Lencquesais was there to edify us into the characteristics & history of his premier wines. Naureen Lyon, L.A. District Manager of Maisons Marqués et Domaine presented her Ramos Pinto White Port that pairs well with many desserts. 1) Petits Fours:a. Lamb Polpette/meatballs covered Membrillo/quince glaze & sweetened Sauce Demi-Glace garnished with Granada/pomegranate, mint leaves. b. Lox, Caviar, egg yolk on toasted Brioche c. Lobster Éclair dressed with Estragon/tarragon Aïoli. d. Fromage Blanc, Truffled Honey, Sea Salt, Walnuts, Ruccola/Arrugula microgreen on toasted Brioche.  All paired with Pazo Barrantes Albariño 2021. Lamb could have paired better with a Rioja red. 2) Tuna Tataki: Not really a Japanese Tataki since the tuna was not surface seared. It was more like in a marinade. Tuna was resting in 28 month oak barrel aged soy sauce which then should be called Zukè. Arbequina olive oil added a slick of sweet-bitter butteriness. Perhaps adding a touch of sea salt would have added minerality to enliven the flat tasting tuna.  Paired with Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2018. 3)) Crowning glory by Executive Chef Matt Dahlkemper: Cochinillo Ibérico de Bellota is a special breed of northern Spain. During fall when acorns fall from tall oaks, the pigs are allowed free range to pig out on the nuts to create a luscious, fatty, meatiness. In this case, the little piggy was born too early or too late to ingest the acorns. But his parents may have hogged out on the acorns. Perhaps a Thai sweet chile sauce would have enhanced the sweet, fatty pork, but this was Spanish themed. However, the vinegar fermented Giardiniera added a good, clean contrasting gastrique to cut the fattiness.A whole suckling pig was slow baked so the skin is crisp. Layer of smooth melt in your mouth, porky fat. Then a sweet, porcine meatiness. Some parts had a slight gamy, barnyard funk that went well with Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011. a. Roasted Asparagus, whipped Spanish Manchego Crema b. Gem Salad Greens, Spanish Marcona Almonds, Jerez Vinaigrette   4) Basque style Cheese Cake Verrine/served in a tall glass cup by Executive Patissier Sylvain Piffeteau.  Vanilla scented pudding with strawberry & basil confit. Paired with Ramos Pinto White Port that is reminiscent of Haut-Sauternes.Our sommelier, Allan Camarena, that night was amiable, informative, congenial. Staff was on point. Sitting above the Sunset Strip and seeing the city of L.A. at our feet in the pleasing coolness of a June night made four hours seem too soon to be over.  5 stars just for this special Spanish wine dinner occasion.

Merois is the rooftop restaurant in the Pendry Hotel on Sunset. Valeting your car is $20 plus tip with a validation sticker from the restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a classic way. One side of the restaurant has amazing views of the city. You will find the service as good as it gets. You will really feel the fine dining experience here. The servers are attentive and make you feel known and important. It's a great experience. The food here is exceptional. Of all the foods I tried here though I would have to call out the Ube Basque Cheesecake as being the most exquisite desert I have had in my memory. I cannot do it justice with words. I can only recommend you try it out. Coming here was an amazing experience which I will treasure for times to come!

Great view and vibes for a date night spot or special occasion. It's a pretty good view of WeHo and even Culver City with a slight view of DTLA from afar on the rooftop. The Hamachi Tostada is super refreshing and the crab fried rice is so good, like a omurice with plenty of crab. All the dishes are pretty shareable in terms of portion and big which I wasn't expecting.For the value, I think this definitely hits the spot in terms of quality and location. Adding this to my recs list for WeHo!
