Videre

Friendly staff and environment, plus the view was great. Breakfast was delicious, pancakes thin and golden with creamy sauce and juicy blueberries and the crab cakes fresh tasting with a flavorful sauce

We came here for Dine LA, but was pretty disappointed. It had rained that day so we were seated inside, but this restaurant really depends on their outdoor seating area. The inside lacked ambiance. We had to request the Dine LA menu. They did not offer and it was not advertised.For our appetizers, I had the seared prawns and my bf had the burrata. Both were good and the burrata was served with really crusty bread. The appetizer gave us high homes for the main. I chose the Maine scallop & trumpet mushroom skewer and my bf had the chicken skewer. The scallop was quartered and I believe there was only one mushroom also just cut up. I thought it was only ok, the sauce did not really complement the skewer and the scallop was too fishy (possibly old?). On the normal menu, this skewer is $28! For ONE skewer and it was not even good! My bf said his chicken skewer was so dry, it was hard to swallow it down. For dessert, I had 2 cookies, which were good but I'm not sure if they were made in-house. My partner had the chocolate pot de crem which he said was fine. Overall, not worth the price. Maybe if we got the outdoor dining experience..

If you've been looking for the perfect summer rooftop pool bar, @viderela at @hotelwilshire is definitely my pick! This brand new rooftop restaurant features a pristine pool, plenty of cabana-style seating, and unparalleled 360 views of the LA skyline (including the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory). Beyond the views, their menu specializes in delicious and well-executed Californian style cuisine, as well as uniquely crafted cocktails such as these espresso martinis, which feature notes of Parmesan and orange creamsicle. I came here for their brunch, but I'll definitely be back at night to check out their dinner time menu and nighttime views. Definitely check out this hidden gem before all of IG/TikTok finds out about this beautiful rooftop oasis!

Went back for dinner and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. Usually, places that have a nice view don't always have the best food, but boy were we happy we had dinner here. We ordered the crispy potatoes (smashed fingerling potatoes with aioli sauce), the burger with side salad and the saffron pasta (added chicken) - ALL 3 items were absolutely delicious and more than enough to share between two people. We went around 6:30 pm and it was such a beautiful summer night. Their view and decor is gorgeous.

It's been quite a few years since I've been here, and I've been missing out. It's definitely improved for the better. Service was excellent (thanks Melissa!), vibe was chill, drinks were spectacular, AND they appreciate local customers. Highly recommend, and this may become my new go-to neighborhood spot! Cheers!

The pasta was to die for and the view was amazing. I would definitely recommend trying one or 2 cocktails

Honestly, you come to this place for the pretty rooftop and that's about it. The food? Very subpar. For the price, my saffron pasta was fairly bland and underwhelming. The crispy potatoes were tasty but had far too much aioli at the bottom. My cocktail was tasty no doubt, and from the seasonal menu, but overall I probably wouldn't come back here for anything more than snacks and a cocktail.

5 stars for food, drinks, and atmosphere.3 stars for service. (2 stars for the Day Pass, which I'm not including in the overall rating)I visited Videre on the 4th of July. I purchased the Day Pass on Resort pass so I could enjoy the pool during this hot summer weather while also getting poolside bar service. I got lucky with metered street parking and found a spot right out front; free for the holiday. When I arrived at the front desk, I was greeted by (I'm guessing) back-of-house staff because he didn't give me the typical "hotel spiel" or know much about Resort Pass, but he was nice and gave me easy-to-follow directions to the pool. When I got to the rooftop pool and restaurant, they were probably at a third capacity, but the staff were already disorganized. I had the option of sitting by the pool or taking the last lounger furthest from the bar. The poolside bar service was very slow, and I wasn't the only one they kept forgetting. I had to request a restaurant menu at least three times before receiving the full set. I even had to get out of the pool sopping wet to check on my first drink. After the original server left, a new and better server took over. He was fast and friendly. If he hadn't taken over, I would've given Videre a much lower rating. I ordered most items from their special 4th of July menu, which were all delicious. I appreciated that the server also made sure I knew that the tip was automatically calculated in the check. The vibes were on the trendy side--a good balance of people just enjoying the beautiful day; think more "off the coast of Italy" than "Vegas pool party."

Videre is a restaurant on the 6th floor of the Kimpton Hotel. The food is reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant. The burgers were moist and tasty. The view is beautiful

Beautiful views and great drinks. The burger was overcooked and cut in half for some reason. I opened the burnt bun and saw the dry piece of beef had been cut in two pieces. The drinks were great though.
