    Beautiful restaurant and decent food options! Overall experience was great. The worth of the food prices for the higher priced items was not entirely worth it. I ordered the New York strip, which was $84 for just the steak alone it is extra if you want to sides $18-$21. It was cooked nicely, decent thick cut of steak but not worth $84. The few lower priced entrées, appetizers items and pizza options are definitely worth more than the higher priced steak items. The $26 cake is a very big slice however looks better than it taste, which, if I can compare it to anything would be similar to a cake store-bought. Unless you just wanna try it for the experience like me go for it!

    Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Shirley Brasserie, located in the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the elegant and inviting ambience. The decor seamlessly blends classic Hollywood glamour with modern sophistication, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's creativity and attention to detail. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a great experience. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and accommodate any special requests we had. Overall, Shirley Brasserie exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.
