Destination rooftop for creative Asian-fusion with knockout views and polished service; expect a splurge, standout dishes, and occasional service or allergy-handling inconsistencies.
Why it gets an A for overall quality
Merois exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional food quality anchored by creative Asian-fusion execution—hamachi tostadas, sizzling fish, and standout desserts demonstrate chef-driven precision. The spectacular rooftop setting with panoramic city views elevates the experience into destination territory, while warm, attentive service from named staff creates the polished luxury atmosphere guests consistently praise. Minor inconsistencies in plating and occasional service lapses prevent perfection, but this ranks among the region's finest rooftop dining experiences.
Restaurant Summary
Perched above the Pendry, the room feels warm and bustling with a sweeping skyline that steals glances between courses. Guests rave about gracious, photo-happy servers and views that are pure LA. One diner summed it up: "From that couch-side cocktail to the last bite, it felt effortlessly polished." The cooking leans creative Asian-fusion rather than strict tradition: yuzu-kissed hamachi tostadas, a dramatic sizzling whole fish, and a red curry that balances heat and sweetness. Execution is mostly precise with occasional misses like bland fried rice or over-charred ribs, but desserts like the ube cheesecake and Spikey Lemon often close the night on a high. Expect a luxury rooftop splurge with chef-driven flair and a view-tax baked in. For families, there is a solid burger and shareable plates, but the menu skews adventurous and spicy. There is no explicit kids menu, and prices are high, so it suits teens or curious eaters more than picky little ones. Allergy handling can be excellent, though one recent account reported a dismissive tone; call ahead and confirm details at seating.
