We popped upstairs for a late dessert while staying at the hotel and were so taken by the atmosphere and the views that we decided to stay for dinner — zero regrets.
The food was amazing and the service was incredibly attentive.
The duck completely won over my husband (and that’s no small feat — he’s tough to impress when it comes to food ). Our complements to the chef!
Super friendly and accommodating staff. We meant to come back for breakfast because the menu looked delicious, but got held up… clearly just another excuse to return!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Great views, amazing service and tasty food. We shared the beef wellington which was made to perfection. Their drinks are great and they have a large selection of wines.

Upon walking in I was greeted immediately.
The hostess was very quick and professional.
This place during happy hour is SUPER crazy in a good way.
EXCELLENT place to network. A lot of very nice, good looking and open people.
At this visit I was here for dinner time though. So lets move onto the food and atmosphere.
During dinner it’s far more of a romantic and upper scale atmosphere and scene.
This place is a GREAT place to take a date and or someone you love.
This place is NOT for kids. I repeat DO NOT bring your kids here. It will ruin the entire atmosphere of what this place is for everyone around you.
Moving onto the food.
I’ve had a few things from here throughout the years. But I will write about my current visit. Since that’s the most updated menu.
The grand seafood tower.
Includes large prawns
Raw oyster served with lemon, hot sauce and the usual onion and cocktail sauce.
Snow crab claws.
Raw scallops ( cook those suckers in some lemon )
And of course a few mussels.
YOU CANNOT go wrong with the seafood towers here. They’re excellently displayed and everything is fresh. I’ve never felt off/sick from any of it.
Burrata.
FRESH excellent on a bed of greens.
Absolutely tasty.
Lobster mac n cheese with truffles.
Not to rich in flavor. Which actually took me by surprise.
It was JUST right. Didn’t need to add salt, pepper, nothing.
It was perfect from the get go. And the portion/size of it was very acceptable for the price.
Lets move onto t he Wagyu steak roll.
OMG if you like sushi but steak? You HAVE to try this.
And they are NOT skimpy with the truffle shavings.
I mean please look at my pictures. They HOOK you up with truffles like no other here.
With all that said? My experience here each time is always a memorable one.
The cleanliness, the food choices and quality, the staff, seating options and even the bathroom. Everything is top tier and enjoyable.
I would highly recommend this place for a romantic setting.
And or just for a fun upper scale happy hour.
There’s only one thing to be aware of. Parking is valet only.
However there is a parking structure behind it ( 3 minute walk ).
Enjoy!

A Hidden Gem with a Breathtaking View
This restaurant is an absolute must-visit — not only for the food, but especially for the stunning rooftop-like setting. The view is nothing short of spectacular, offering a grand and unforgettable panorama that alone makes the visit worthwhile.
The food is outstanding, clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. While the prices are on the higher side, the culinary experience more than justifies the cost.
The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior design is beautiful, stylish, and perfectly complements the elevated dining experience.
Highly recommended for a special evening or anyone looking to enjoy excellent food in an extraordinary setting.

Stayed at the Huntley and loved this for a breakfast spot. Beautiful sea and downtown views, with great breakfast. Also really nice service! Had the papaya bowl and highly recommend.

We went to the Penthouse for lunch then the next day for brunch. We had Brendan and he’s really cool, offers good recommendations and has the talent where he can make you feel like you’re his only table, even though he is super busy.
Anyway the food is really good. Probably can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
The fish tacos were so fresh, the fish of the day was a sea bass but I forgot with one. Typically I don’t like sea bass but this one was excellent. The crab Benedict was a lobster that taste like it came right out of the Pacific. The salad was uniquely wrapped with a dark crouton with its special dressing that I would get the next time I go back, which is probably soon.
The view is gorgeous of course. That’s probably what the Penthouse is know for. We sat right on the corner and eas able to see both city city and ocean. The entire staff is nice and acts like they want to be there. Fine actors they are and welcoming. Thank you all for a good time.
The only critique I have is the juice should be frsher (the carrot juice, beet juice.

Wow, just wow! This place not only has a gorgeous view of Santa Monica beach, and delicious cocktails, it also boasts an incredible menu of the freshest food in southern California. We had lamb meatballs and shrimp ceviche to start, and BRANZINO fish tacos with hand made corn tortillas!! Everything was impeccable, from the flavors to the freshness to the service. Highly recommend this place if you’re in town.

Gorgeous setting with an ocean view! The ambiance is beautiful, and the service aligns well with the price point. The food, however, was a mix. The lychee martini was excellent, and the roasted Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had—crispy, flavorful, and unforgettable.
Unfortunately, both the well-done steak and the catch of the day were overcooked and dry, which took away from the overall experience.
A lovely touch: we received a complimentary dessert with a sparkling candle—a sweet and unexpected surprise!

The Huntley Penthouse is a highlight of fine dining. I had a business anniversary celebration event that was handled perfect in every way. From planning with Mandy, to managing with Rod and finishing servicing with Michael, I must say it was spectacular.
All my guests commented on how great their service was with Michael he is an irreplaceable asset.Thanks to all

Food is nice enough (I ordered their oysters – there’s no indication on the menu as to which type of oysters they serve) and they weren’t the best. The staff is very well trained and maintaining high standards. The views are irreplaceable. The atmosphere has more of a bar vibe than a restaurant (the music gets louder and louder through the night). The drinks are pretty good (I had an almost perfect Paloma). Valet parking is steep ($18).
