During the day, guests can snack on a Whilshire grilled cheese sandwich made with gruyere cheese, date marmalade, and roasted peppers, on sourdough or Mulfetta with olives, peppers, and assorted cured meats while soaking in the rooftop pool (it's only three feet deep). At night, the panoramic city lights and fire pit make for a romantic party scene for guests to indulge in cocktail and wine (although the wine menu is limited). For a special treat, indulge in the $18 Integral Margarita made with reposada tequila, orange liquor, fresh lemon, lime, orange juice, smoked sea salt, and kosher salt to accompany a dinner item such as the Sashimi Albacore Tuna with radish, watermelon, and green peppercorn sauce or the Absinthe Steamed Mussels with fennel, mustard and rye croutons. The Sunday Brunch is worth a try with great views, reasonable pricing and few crowds.
