Merois - West Hollywood

Delicious Asian-Puck inspired cuisine in a beautiful rooftop space. It is quite expensive but we enjoyed it and would come back.

The entire team was attentive, and the pacing of our meal was perfect. The cuisine is definitely Asian fusion, and we found it absolutely delicious, served family style. The brioche served with a thick kimchee sauce on the side was delightful—light, fluffy, and truly tasty. For starters, we enjoyed the lobster spring rolls, which were fantastic, featuring generous chunks of lobster in a crispy wrapper. The Spanish grilled octopus was beautifully tender and flavorful, coated in spices, and served with small dollops of sauce and fresh salad vegetables. The spicy chicken dumplings were good, though they were our least favorite dish of the evening. For our entrees, we ordered crab fried rice with Peking duck encased in a dashi omelette, which was simply outstanding. The whole rock cod, deboned and fried in a light, crispy tempura batter with a pineapple glaze, was the highlight of the meal; it was exceptionally tender and delicious. The pork shank confit with gochujang sauce, chicharrones, kimchee, and kimchee cream was also tender and packed with flavor. For dessert, we indulged in Merois’s excellent dark chocolate soufflé, served with homemade whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and dark chocolate sauce—it was fabulous. The cocktails and wines were clearly carefully curated; the La Vie En Rose cocktail, which features raspberry gin, rosé, St. Germain, and lemon, was delicious. Both the La Spinetta Rosé and the Doisy Deane Sauternes were excellent as well. Overall, it was a remarkable dining experience.

Good wasn’t as good as everyone says. Lamb was not worth $72. Blah taste. Octopus was average. The beef skewers were amazing. Views are top notch. Play some good house lounge music please. Get the energy up.

Beautiful restaurant, food was good, cocktails and wines over priced, service was good but at times slow, but overall to expensive.

Food was very good. Waitress was great. Lovely views and atmosphere.
