Shirley Brasserie

LORENA COMPARATO

Dining at Shirley inside the historic Roosevelt Hotel feels like stepping straight into Old Hollywood magic. The moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in the kind of timeless charm that makes this hotel legendary, after all, Shirley Temple once filmed a movie here and it’s allegedly the site of the very first Academy Awards ceremony. That whisper of history adds a special glow to the whole experience. Shirley itself is elegant without trying too hard - beautiful ambience, warm lighting and a menu that feels both modern and elevated. We had the entree bread, the Bransino, the meat and fries. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, and the staff is attentive, friendly and clearly proud of the restaurant’s unique setting. And you absolutely can’t miss the hotel pool. It’s stunning, a little slice of vintage Hollywood paradise with a serene vibe and a charming Charlie Chaplin statue keeping watch. It’s the perfect spot to wander after your meal and soak in the history. They say Marilyn Monroe shot her first movie there and actually lived at the hotel! ✨ If you’re looking for delicious food wrapped in classic Hollywood nostalgia, Shirley at the Roosevelt is a must-visit.

Beautiful hip and modern space at the Hollywood Roosevelt. Sunday brunch was delicious. The breakfast with pork belly was to die for. Our server Meredith is a rockstar!! Highly recommend!

A phenomenal experience at Shirley Brasserie. We were there celebrating my mother's birthday and could not have been any better. We were greeted by Anastasia with an infectious energy and knew we were celebrating a birthday. She gave us a quick orientation of the restaurant highlighted by their open kitchen (I noticed her doing this with all guests). The cooking stations were impressive and every associate had a smile on their face. Meredith assisted us for our meal and gave us some suggestions including their Sunday supper fried chicken. We took her up on a few times and were not disappointed! The seafood tower was fresh and presentation was exceptional. The steak frite was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the spaghetti was generously portioned with seafood. The octopus was flavorful which is not the easiest to achieve and was cooked perfectly. Firm and not rubbery. The fried chicken was juicy and the accompanying potato salad and slaw was refreshing. Their Beverage director, Joey was there from the beginning touching tables and lending a hand. Lastly, we had the most decadent chocolate cake which satisfied my mom's sweet tooth. If you're visiting Hollywood area, make sure Shirley Brasserie is at the top of your list for a superb dining experience.

I had Thanksgiving dinner at Shirley Brasserie and it was a wonderful experience. I was flying solo for Thanksgiving as I was visiting from overseas and was able to nab a seat at the bar. The set menu was $95 and there was SO MUCH food. And all of it was good. The bartenders were fun and engaging, the servers were friendly and efficient. It’s a lovely setting and being able to see the open bar and kitchen makes for a very lively environment without being noisy.

We chose this historic place to celebrate our anniversary and Shirley did not disappoint! Anastasia’s energy is everything! She hooked us up beautifully with a tour of the kitchen area and sat us in the best booth she calls ‘The Mogul Table’ We had the best server, Merideth, whose upbeat and genuine energy was fantastic. This was a well paced meal and worth ever penny. The Rioja was one point and the beef tartare who the very knowledgeable Victor delivered with intelligence and love for cuisine. Also, very important to note that this restaurant won an award - one of the top 25 dishes in LA - the one and only Beef bourguignon! This is a must for your evening and well curated Hollywood experience! Thank you for everything Anastasia - you made our anniversary incredible, Merci!

Visited Shirley Brasserie on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles and had a delightful experience. We started with the French baguette and butter which was absolutely excellent, followed by the pâté en croûte with olive that was really good, and the canard confit was impressively good as well. The service truly made our evening perfect, from the warm welcome by the host at the entrance to the attentive service provided by our waiter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality French cuisine!

Great food in this beautiful restaurant, previously known as Barish. Same okace with classic design and identity kitchen. The steaks were great . The Baggett was warm and crunchy. The risotto was delicious, and the desserts were yummy. Coffee was not the beat. Good service, but can improve a bit. Shows they just started.

Best steak tartare ever! The French onion soup was delicious as well. I really appreciated the service.

Decided to eat at the Shirley brasserie on our last night, staying at the hotel rxoosevel, The food, service was excellent and considering the location is value for mint

Loved it. A delightful restaurant tucked into the Iconic Roosevelt Hotel. We had the baguette, chicken, tomato tartare, French fries - too good.

Checked all the boxes for an amazing dining experience. The mushroom tagliatelle was especially well done. Loved it

A wonderful classic Hollywood space, updated but true to its origins. I figured the food should be pretty good. Wrong! The food was really really excellent!!! A remarkably richly flavored duck breast, among the tenderest I’ve ever had. I had duck breast the next day at a Michelin-starred restaurant a mile or so to the south, and this was better. Yes, I like duck. Creative and beautifully prepared appetizers. Friendly and natural service. Another well-known and excellent LA chef had this space for a while, and I’m amazed that the this new restaurant and new chef are appreciably better.

I recently dined at Shirley Brasserie for a birthday dinner, and it was an exquisite culinary experience. The ambiance was charming, with soft lighting and cozy seating. We had an amazing server that gave us the full experience. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, and the food was simply outstanding. Each plate was a work of art, both visually and in terms of flavor. I highly recommend Shirley Brasserie for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Our main purpose we were at the Roosevelt was for the La Cage show. Which was excellent & I highly recommend. The resturant was out of convenience. Nice place! Service was kind of slow due to the fact that there were more runners than servers. The French onion soup was amazing! The Shirley salad i would go back for all the time. The escargot needed help. The pork chop needed flavor. The mojitos should not be considered their specialty.

The workers were nice. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the crudo and the lobster pasta was okay. I liked their beef bourguignon although it took a bit to come out. The inside of the hotel is nice- it’s all the way inside to the left once you come in.

I like the place, food was good and the service was excellent. However, a few things can be improved in my opinion. For instance, I ordered onion soup but it did not come with any bread. That could have made the dish even more delicious than it was. Moreover, the carafe of wine is nothing like other places in Europe, mainly France. To be honest it was very small. So I think they should change the size of the carafe; definitely. Lastly, the music doesn’t match the environment. It sounded like the music playing was to distract the employees than setting the environment for clients. In fact, the music was very loud. Nothing against modern songs but if it was playing jazz or any kind of lounge music, the environment would be more intimate and fancy than it is.

Food was just ok and over priced (but expected at a hotel restaurant). The service was nice but slow, but we noticed others were served quickly. I got the skillet omelette which was good, but was too salty and too hot. I wouldn't recommend this. My friend got the croque madam which was a great sized portion and tasted good. We also ordered the donut tower which was mid (do not recommend)

I decided to stay at the Roosevelt for my birthday with family. Was told this was an "upscale" restaurant. It was god awful from start to finish. The table was filthy, and smeared with goo, water was tap water without ice and tastes like it came out of a dirty sink. The French Martini so cheaply made and disgusting it was unreal. Supposed to be raspberry and pineapple ans tasted like bubble bath. Cheap bubble bath. Mixed absinthe drink was gross. Ordered a charcuterie board and what a joke. Cheese looked like white with jalapenos.in it. STILL do not know what that was and the meat was a wadded up mess from a grocery store looked cheap and they threw nuts and seeds on HALF the board to cover no real meat. Asked to leave after everything was disgusting and overpriced and rhe restaurant looked grimy everywhere fromight shades to take to floor. Ruined my birthday as had to get a reservation 2 hours later and take an Uber. Do not waste you money or time. Worst restaurant I have ever been to in all of California.

Gross food. Unkind to children, even if you are a guest. We tried everything; the French soup, the bread, the shrimp, the steak fries, horrible. The chicken was overcooked. It was so bad. We had a $500 bill and it was terrible. Seek a good outside restaurant. Even their staff told us to find a better place than this.
