An LA-scene extraordinaire. You may well find sidewalk paparazzi stalking celebrity guests and a doorman to check your reservation, but all that's forgotten once you're in this 3rd-floor rooftop restaurant/bar above WeHo. The Pacific Rim–inspired menu features supercreative cocktails and shared dishes such as truffle sashimi, black-cod lettuce wraps, and scallop and cauliflower with tamarind brown butter.
Add in multiple dining rooms and a wraparound deck with bang-on views of the Pacific Design Center and rooftops of LA, and you've got a first-class spot to preen and be seen. With these views and clientele, Catch could probably get away with pretension, but staff are friendly and professional.
