Food and atmosphere were absolutely outstanding. Views of the city were breathtaking, made our dinner experience that much more pleasant. Our server, Edgardo, went above and beyond when it came to service. Food and drinks were accurate and served in a timely manner. We were able to be on our way to the Lakers game with no set backs. Highly recommend the tempura avocado tacos!

An absolutely amazing rooftop spot — it captures the true California vibe in every detail. From the moment you step out onto the terrace, you feel that warm, relaxed energy that makes L.A. so special. The view is gorgeous — palm trees, sunsets, and the glow of downtown all around you. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day or to kick off a fun night out.
The staff deserve a special mention: they’re genuinely kind, attentive, and easygoing. Everyone here has that effortless West Coast hospitality — friendly without trying too hard, always smiling, and making sure you’re taken care of. Service feels personal and relaxed, just like everything else in California.
The cocktails are top-notch — creative, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the bartenders know what they’re doing. Whether it’s a refreshing spritz, a spicy margarita, or something signature, every drink tastes like a mini vacation. The music adds to the vibe — chill beats early in the evening, a little more upbeat as the night goes on, always matching the mood of the crowd.
Prices are surprisingly reasonable for what you get — especially considering the quality of the drinks, the view, and the atmosphere. The rooftop feels both elegant and casual at the same time — you can dress up a little or come straight from exploring the city, and you’ll still feel right at home.
Overall, it’s one of those places that remind you why you love California — the mix of ocean breeze, good music, and effortless cool. If you’re staying at the hotel, this rooftop is a must. And even if you’re not, it’s worth stopping by just to soak in the L.A. sunset with a great cocktail in hand.

This place is definitely one of the best rooftop restaurants/bars in DTLA! We had the best server, Rubel, who recommended the best drinks that we truly enjoyed – Saturn and Painkiller. Food was delicious! We had salmon, steaks and pear/jicama salad. The salmon was perfectly seared and tender, while the steak was juicy and flavorful. We loved our salad, too. The pear was sweet and the jicama was crunchy. When Rubel found out that we are celebrating birthdays, he surprised us with this perfectly baked cookies — crisp edges, and tender center. Thanks Rubel!

First of all, the view alone is and the food and service are a plus! This is the perfect date night/ Romantic spot. Edgardo gave us superb service! He was super accommodating to my husband and I. We came down for my husband’s birthday and got treated beyond our expectations!
Edgardo made sure we were treated right. Adjusted to our food liking and surprised us with a birthday treat
Definitely worth it! Can’t thank him enough to making sure this trip went perfect

The Rooftop at the Wayfarer is an awesome spot in downtown LA with great views and a relaxed vibe. The menu has good variety. The cocktails are creative, refreshing, and perfect to enjoy while taking in the views.
Service was good and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is stylish but still relaxed. It’s a great spot to grab a drink!

It is a cool spot. The food was good. The service good and the view was of L.A. buildings like being inside the beast rather then perched in an eagles eyrie.

Beautiful views of the city, amazing service from our waiter Rubel and delicious food. What more can I ask for. The quality of the food was great and had a large selection of alcoholic bevs available. (Apologies for the low quality photos, it was a bit dark)

The food was good, but it has the potential to be better. I loved the crab cakes, but the fried fish dish was bland. Cocktails were amazing despite it not being on the menu, they were perfect. Waited a while to get seated because there was no host. Overall amazing view.
