The Garden Room

A restaurant at street level, open to West Hollywood as well as the hotel. Marco Ilić cooks from seven in the morning until eleven at night.

Lunch in the Garden Room: white tablecloths on a stone terrace under olive trees, a waiter pouring wine
The bar: a sandstone counter and oak stools, a bartender cutting citrus for two guests

The long stone counter

Twenty seats along honed sandstone, no bookings, and a short list made very carefully. Oysters and fries until close.

  • The Holloway: mezcal, grapefruit, sea salt24
  • Martini, very cold, a twist or three olives23
  • Negroni, rested in oak for six weeks22
  • Sparkling, by the glass, from Anderson Valley24
  • Half a dozen oysters, mignonette30
  • Fries, aioli, rosemary salt14

5pm to 1am, every night

Why the martini takes forty seconds

The kitchen

Marco Ilić cooks the food of the coast he lives on. Vegetables from the market, fish landed that morning, and almost everything at dinner over the fire.

The Garden Room kitchen at the start of dinner: a chef plating grilled chicken at the pass beside the wood-fired grill, logs stacked in the sandstone
The Garden Room’s back room set for a private dinner: one long oak table with candles and olive branches, a waiter placing a last glass

A table of your own

The back room seats twenty-two, the Penthouse table twelve and the pool terrace sixty. Set menus are written with the chef, from $165 a guest.

Book a table
  • For dinner, yes, and a week ahead for Friday and Saturday. Breakfast and lunch keep tables for walk-ins, and the bar never takes bookings.

  • No. Come as you are; after the beach is fine at lunch.

  • Tell us when you book and again at the table. Most of the menu can be made without gluten or dairy, and there is always a vegetarian main.

  • Valet is included for tables in the Garden Room. Pull into the motor court behind the olive trees.

  • At breakfast and lunch, and at dinner until eight, with a short menu of their own.

The Garden Room terrace at dusk: candles on white tablecloths under the olive trees, staff in ink aprons carrying plates, diners in conversation

Dinner until eleven

Tables from six, the bar until one, and valet for every table in the motor court behind the olive trees.
