Virtual tour by Yaroslav Kofman
Social Hollywood was once an exclusive gym located in the middle of Tinseltown. Now, it is the ultimate entertainment haven for a-list celebrities and Hollywood socialites. It was once called the "Playground to the Stars" and maintains its reputation with its beautiful design and stunning cuisine.

ambiance:
The main dining room has a Morrocan feel complete with hanging chandeliers, dim candlelight and beautiful tiles throughout the restaurant. Patrons dine beneath vaulted ceilings which were restored to show their original 1920s fresco artwork. The Morrocan screen create a feeling of exclusivity and enchantment.
The main bar is spacious and rich. Old World chandeliers hang from the ceiling and are accompanied by antique furniture. Patrons can dine on international "small plates" and signature cocktails.
After dinner, one can enter the grand upstairs of Social Hollywood. The green room has beautiful decorated wooden vaulted ceilings, retro 70s-inspired furniture and a candle-lit fireplace. The green dining room has signature hanging grape chandeliers and a magnificent round table.
Social Hollywood is the restaurant/lounge with everything you can imagine. Eclectic tastes and pristine attention to detail make it one of the most sought after destinations in the world.

food: Mediterranean and American Cuisine
We sampled the Kobe Beef Sliders which melted in our mouths. Social uses the highest quality of meat. These are the best burgers we have ever had. Short ribs are sweet, spicy and smoky. The tender striations of the short ribs falls apart the moment the meet enters your mouth.
Kobe Beef Burgers--they may look like ordinary burgers...but they're not!
tip--try the Macaroni and Cheese, you will be pleasantly surprised!
Executive Chef Joseph Ojeda worked at Asia De Cuba prior to moving to Social Hollywood. He has catered many special events for companies such as MCA and Universal Studios. His delectable creations will surely please the harshest of food critics.
