Gorgeous bar located in the Omni hotel. Piano player a number of nights. Great atmosphere & happy hour.
I loved the prix-fixe menu. It was delicious food and very reasonably priced. The people serving me were very courteous and helpful. The bar was amazing. Frank and James were so friendly and helpful. They treated me so well that I will come back to the Omni when I travel to LA again.
Was in town for a few days and found this place by walking around looking for food. It sits inside the Omni Hotel, but signage can be seen from the street. Service was prompt and attentive. Great ambience for a hotel restaurant, nice decor and pleasantly quiet away from the bar. I enjoyed the salmon dish and was pleasantly surprised with the grest flavor of the Brussel sprouts. Overall excellent experience!!
This was a lovely place in the Omni Hotel to grab a drink at the bar. The cocktails were tasty. They have TVs and they had a jazz band playing when we went. Service was very nice.
Came for 5pm dinner with two friends after a play at the Music Center. Two of us had the wild salmon ($42) which was delicious! My other friend had the seared ribeye ($46) which tasted good, but was full of gristle and tough to eat especially the last 1/4 of the steak. The manager was called over and comped her steak. The bread was light, warm and delicious! We commented that the bread ($5) was the best part of our meal. Be sure to ask about extra charges. We were asked Perrier or still for the water. We said still not thinking we'd be charged. A bottle was brought over, then a second was brought over without us asking. We were shocked to find an $8 charge for each bottled water on our bill. When we balked, our server took the charges off. I was disappointed with the 3rd floor patio view of the city which was only a view of several high rises (see pic). We were told by our hostess that the outdoor heaters didn't work well outside, so we sat inside by a window with a view of the patio. 3 hrs of free parking with validation can be found next door of the hotel or $20 valet parking at the entrance, but luckily we found street parking across the street. With so many places to try in Los Angeles, I'd rather spend my hard-earned money elsewhere.
I've been to Noe for business lunches and I've also flown solo. My experience has been consistent across the board. There's plenty of seating inside and on the patio. You can just as easily get a reservation as you can just walk-in - the times I've been here during the day, it's never been full (I'd imagine it's different at night). Only slight downside is that there isn't always someone at the front, so sometimes it takes a minute to get seen. The hours on Yelp need some updating so here's some stats: Mon-Fri breakfast is served from 6:30AM-10:30AM, Sat-Sun breakfast is served from 7AM-10AM. Mon-Sat lunch is served from 11AM-2PM, Sunday brunch is served from 10AM-2:30PM (last seating is at 2PM). Happy Hour is daily from 3PM-6PM, and dinner is served daily from 5PM-10PM. Noe is on the pricier side, but it shouldn't come as a shock as it's DTLA. The burgers, sandwiches and salads are all good as is the lemonade. It's a clean area both inside and outside with nice views of the surrounding buildings. It's a solid choice if you're on lunch break or if you're having a special occasion like date night. Service is efficient and friendly. 20% service charge is automatically applied to parties of 6+.
Fantastic food and service. I got the steak with fries and the steak was the best I had ever eaten in my entire life also at a reasonable price, (I believe it was around $48 and I could not even finish it the cut was huge!). There was awesome live piano music as well and generally a wonderful jazzy vibe. You cannot go wrong by choosing to come here to eat and relax! Very nice staff!
The restaurant wasn't bad. It was definitely a space for me to quickly unwind without having to travel so far within the city. The service was fine as well. No complaints. I went around early dinner time because I just did not want to be around a lot of people, but the restaurant isn't as huge as I thought it would be the Crispy Chicken Sando was good. The menu is not as robust as one would think so if you want a lot of options, this is definitely not the place for you.
