Wow, there was a decent crowd and an opulent setting. The views were phenomenal, and the dishes were crafted with excellence. I enjoyed people watching and listening to the music. Such a great experience in a nice Sunday afternoon.

Harriet’s had been on my list of places to head to in LA for a while, and it had been reviewed as a “restaurant”, but LORD I was SO embarrassed when I met up with a friend there. First off, this is not a place anyone over the age of 30 really needs to be seen in. I had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Sunday, because I’m middle-aged and like to be in bed by 9pm. When we got there, they hit us with a security wand and my purse was inspected, which should have been my sign to get the hell out of there, as I’ve never in life gone to a “restaurant” in LA and felt like I was going through TSA? Also, it’s a pretty bad look for a somewhat pricey hotel to be doing security checks like that when most of the people at Harriet’s were people of color, including me. To my absolute shock, when we took the elevator, it was a full on CLUB with pounding music and young people who were half-dressed like it was summertime in NYC (it was raining that night, aren’t people cold?) The music they were playing was good, probably retro to all the young people there, but I was actually alive and in my 20’s when every one of these songs was on something called “the radio.” They sat us under a speaker so we couldn’t talk at all during dinner. The views were stunning, it’s probably great when the roof is open, but otherwise the space was meh. The tater tots were super, but the teriyaki bowl tasted like airplane food. When I got the bill, I felt like I had been robbed. The hotel itself is really beautiful, I’d maybe come back to hang out and spend an afternoon reading at the Juniper Lounge. Otherwise, stay your aged butt at home.

Harriet’s Rooftop on Sunset Blvd is a stunning spot with amazing views, a stylish vibe, and super cool staff who really elevate the experience. The drinks are well-crafted but definitely on the pricey side, a margarita runs about $32, which is pretty stiff. That said, the atmosphere is worth it for a splurge. Great place for a date night or to impress out-of-towners. Four stars for the service and setting, minus one for the steep prices.

We had a wonderful experience at Harriet’s Rooftop celebrating a friend’s birthday. The staff was incredibly accommodating for our large group, and the views are outstanding. We spent the evening at the bar, which filled up quickly, but it added to the lively atmosphere. The drinks were excellent and reasonably priced for the area.
A special thank you to our waitress, Nai, who took such great care of us and stayed on top of everything all night. We’ll definitely be back!

My friends and I have frequented Harriets often for over at least 6 years now and they are always very consistent, from the food and the drinks, I typically order the spicy tuna crispy rice, the tacos and a bottle of wine.Im writing a review today to really highlight the professionalism and kindness of the manager/owner on Friday night, thank you so much. If you’re visiting LA or ever in the area you should definitely stop by here, one of the best views in the city.

A solid rooftop restaurant in West Hollywood with excellent drinks and a beautiful view.
I ordered their tater tots, chicken Caesar salad and the mini lobster rolls. The tater tots were really good and the Caesar salad was about average, the mini lobster rolls were also descent, kind of too small for me to enjoy it because I’m used to full on lobster rolls.
I came on a Thursday night on Halloween and as for a restaurant it was popular but as a club, it was ok. The bottom restaurant was actually more popular for the night club scene that night. I’d like to revisit on a weekend to see what it’s really like.
I’d definitely come back to this spot again to try their other menu items. This is within a hotel so parking is usually street or valet.

I’ve gone back and forth about writing this review, but after what happened this Friday night, I feel compelled to speak up.
I’ve been to Harriet’s in West Hollywood several times over the years. I always come alone, I’m respectful, well-dressed, and I never stay long — usually 30 minutes to an hour max. I stop by for a drink and leave. I have never caused trouble, never been intoxicated, and never had a negative interaction with staff until now.
This past Friday, I went in for a drink as usual and was stopped by the doorman, who told me there was suddenly a charge to get in. No explanation, no context. Meanwhile, I watched multiple lighter-skinned women being let in without issue. When I asked for clarity, I was simply told I had to pay or I wouldn’t be allowed inside.
What makes this situation even more troubling is what happened after. I made a TikTok sharing my experience, and the same doorman commented publicly, claiming that two other security guards told him not to let me in because I had “caused trouble at a different event before.” This accusation makes absolutely no sense. I have never caused trouble at Harriet’s or anywhere else, and no one has ever mentioned an issue to me before.
So which is it?
• If I had paid, would I have been allowed in?
• Or was I never going to be let in regardless, as he later claimed?
The story changed, and that inconsistency is a major problem.
As a Black woman who is a professional, well-established in Los Angeles, and someone who regularly attends upscale events, this experience felt deeply disrespectful and, frankly, discriminatory. It echoed long-standing complaints I’ve heard from others about how people who look like me are treated here — complaints I didn’t fully believe until it happened to me firsthand.
To be fair, Harriet’s does have positives: the ambiance is beautiful, the views are great, and when things go smoothly, it can be an enjoyable place for a quick drink. But none of that excuses how guests are treated at the door.
Loyal or returning patrons deserve transparency, respect, and consistency — not vague accusations, shifting explanations, or treatment that feels rooted in colorism. If there was a legitimate issue, it should have been communicated clearly and professionally. That did not happen.
This experience made it clear why so many people quietly stop coming here. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses how security staff interact with guests, because no one should be made to feel unwelcome, singled out, or disrespected simply for existing.

Yeah it’s a one and done. Typical LA spot. Drinks madd overpriced, food was meh ($26 for 3 small chicken sliders is ridiculous), and they take the chairs out at 630pm from the bar from *select* people, no explanation which is wildly ratchet. Y’all not lit like that to have the chairs out it’s not that serious. And even if so, your staff could do a much more communicative and professional way of telling people that. I’m glad to be able to say I went, you got my lil $100 for 2 drinks and an appetizer, and I’ll never be back and will absolutely trash y’all to anyone that asks. And owner, keep your follow up comment. I’m not interested. Y’all have a good one.

We had a reservation and showed up about 10 minutes late because we got lost. The hostess told us we “lost our spot” because we were late. Then she said, “Wait, I’ll get you in, I promise I won’t make you wait long.” After about 30 minutes of waiting, she came back and told us the kitchen was closed and we had to leave. If the kitchen was closing, she should have said that immediately instead of keeping us there. A little understanding over a 10 minute delay would have gone a long way. Really disappointing customer service, especially because the view is beautiful. We paid a lot for an Uber and a babysitter to be there, and it ended up ruining our anniversary.

What terrible hosts, We had a Valentine’s reservation booked and were TWO minutes past our grace period. we waited in the one hotel valet over TEN MINUTES and they did not want to accommodate us whatsoever. The hosts were extremely RUDE with attitude and did not create a welcoming environment what so ever. I would truly never go back here just because of the first impression. I’m reading more reviews and I’m honestly disgusted. Never come here!!!!!!!
