Dining at Cara Cara feels like stepping into a rooftop sanctuary suspended above Downtown Los Angeles. The design is deliberate organic elements, architectural shelving, and warm lighting create a refined yet welcoming mood. What impressed me most was the cohesion between atmosphere and service; nothing felt accidental. Even simple dishes, like the burger and fries, were elevated by presentation and environment. The cocktail program clearly prioritizes quality, with visible care in preparation and ingredient selection. The space manages to be stylish without feeling performative. It is equally suited for an intimate dinner or a lively rooftop gathering. In a city saturated with rooftop concepts, Cara Cara distinguishes itself through restraint and thoughtful design.

First-timer. 2.1.26.
DineLA Walk-In.
Mid-afternoon into Early Evening.
Found out they still have Sir Davis, so I took the trip from KTown to enjoy the rooftop. Views were highlighted.
Arrived, and only waited about 5ish minutes for a Solo Table. Didn’t realize they were on the DineLA list for $55, so I ordered another Gold Rush and ordered the Caesar Salad, Lamb Chop,s, and the Pumpkin cheesecake.
There were some considerable gaps of no attention as the dinner crowd trickled in, seems the slower side of the the floor was the Pool Eastward side. Not too bad, but definitely noticed when I got ready to go.
I love Caesar Salad, and that was mainly whole leaves, barely covered in any dressing-and I mean ‘the same leaf folded over, only the very top of the top fold got any dressing, tomatoes everywhere, and so much Parmesan on it, it got all on the table as you took a bite. That was disappointing.
The Lamb chops were good, the butternut Squash puree bed was a nice sweet play into the savory taste. Devoured. But for $55, a third would make sense. By this point, I was just ready to go Home, but forgit there
The Cheesecake was cheesecake. Can’t really do too much more than what’s been done, gotta be an idiot to botch it. Definitely would’ve pu the pink lady apple compote on top, would’ve helped moisten the bite.
The View was amazing, even from the back wall facing north. Yeah, other Guests and shrubbery block the skyscrapers partially, but there was plenty of space to See out and a lower platform for pics available. I didn’t go because they rush set in, and by the time I left, it had been almost an hour and a half already. Damn.
Bar did me right, heavy pours and the handsome tenders were helpful and warm. My Server, did not catch his name, was very sweet. Spoke toward the lamp chops just as I had my mouth full, lol.
Bathrooms were one level down; spacious, bright, and WARM. Like, WARM warm. Nice from the setting evening’s coolness
All in all, would I rush back? Only for drinks and a different seat, and a small bite. Not a pre-fixe menu, just for the sake of ‘Okay, can we close out and go?’ I hate being held Hostage.

This rooftop bar in an older LA high-rise is an exceptional place to go for any occasion. I came with my boys during our bi-monthly trip.
Arriving/check in: The entrance is on Broadway, and upon entry, there is a check in kiosk if that is how you’re arriving so you can be buzzed in. Same with arriving to the top. We went around 5pm on a Friday and it was not too busy when we arrived, got a bit busier at the end.
The food: cocktails are amazingly delicious, worth the price. The braised beef tacos are in the smaller side of portions but were delicious. I’d say with a couple of drinks and appetizers, a check will not be cheap.
The atmosphere: Amazing, breathtaking, no other words cannot describe the view. Perfect for a date or coming with friends like I did.
Lastly, there is an additional lower deck you can go to for if you decide to grab some additional drinks for photos, etc.
Overall, truly a grand experience and worth the price, although it does reflect the experience. The only con I can really determine to be a problem is how far it is from other places.

Made reservation on Opentable, got seated right away. The view of downtown LA high-rises is fantastic, the hotel pool is on the side, very typical LA scene: pricey, nothing really stood out. Food came out quick: fried chicken ($26) was good albeit on the salty side. Enjoyed my dungeness crab pasta ($37) and husband also liked the skirt steak with salad on the side ($32). We were staying in the hotel so it’s convenient, no complaints….
A 6% “wellness charge” is automatically added on the bill. Server said it’s for back staff insurance (?) and also optional…
$21 Aperol + $7 Diet Coke + 3 items above is $130 + wellness charge + tip for 2 people out the door… just another lunch in LA!

Cara Cara is an exceptional spot to visit in the evening for a memorable dining experience with stunning sunset views of the city skyline. The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for enjoying great food and drinks while soaking in the scenic urban panorama.
I tried several standout dishes including the Shrimp Tacos, White Trumpet Mushroom, Piri Piri Fried Chicken (which quickly became my favorite), and the Lobster Roll. Every dish was delicious, and I noticed their the menu is 100% seed oil-free, adding a thoughtful touch to the dining experience. The food truly lives up to the hype and is totally worth the money.
The cocktail selection is impressive as well, with a great variety of wines and refreshing spritz options that complement the meal perfectly.
Overall, Cara Cara delivers excellent cuisine, spectacular views, and a lively rooftop vibe, making it a highly recommended destination for both locals and visitors looking for a special night out in Los Angeles.

Nice roof top restaurant in downtown. Worth a visit. Cesar salad was good, though a bit too much dressing- the lettuce was nearly drowned. The hangar steak was very good, a bit of a small portion so don’t think you’re going to get a steakhouse size cut. The strawberry-basil cocktail was fine, though couldn’t really taste basil even though there was a big leaf on top. Overall it was nice and enjoyable.

I had an incredible experience at Cara Cara Rooftop in Los Angeles! The ambiance was perfect — the view of the downtown skyline created a stunning backdrop, and the atmosphere was lively yet elegant.
From the start, the customer service stood out. The Director of Food & Beverage, Dennis Yol, personally introduced himself to every table, which made the evening feel extra special. The staff was attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming.
For food, I started with the three cheese and dates appetizer — absolutely delicious! Then, even though it wasn’t on the menu, the team accommodated a special order for me: hanger steak with shrimp and French fries. Every bite was savory and well-prepared, perfectly complemented by the rooftop setting.
What really impressed me was how flexible and accommodating they were. I had originally booked this for a date but decided to turn it into a solo dinner. The staff made sure I was comfortable, arranged a table just for me, and even allowed me to arrive earlier than my reservation.
Between the ambiance, the food, the amazing service, and the thoughtful touches, this was truly a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

Massive shout-out to the chef and her kitchen team at Cara Cara… WOW. The creativity, presentation, and flavor in every dish were exceptional. Each plate felt thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and elevated. This is the kind of food that keeps you thinking about it long after you leave. My favorite was definitely the ceviche… again WOW!
True culinary excellence paired with great service by Victor and an amazing rooftop vibe. Easily a must visit spot in LA!
