Landings Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We visited the Landings Bar twice during our trip to Los Angeles as we needed to stay at the Hilton both times.

The first time wasn't as bad as the second and for the first time I would have rated four for the food and the service. The second time was definitely brought the ratings down.

The bar itself could have done with a bit of refit to bring it into this decade.

On our first visit I had seven Chicken Wings. These were battered and flavoured with lemon pepper.  They were served with carrots and celery. Plus two sauces, which were blue cheese and garlic.  The chicken was well cooked but the coating did become a little too much after a couple of the wings.

My husband had the burger. This came topped with bacon, cheese, lots of gherkins, salad, red onion and tomatoes.  He was asked how he would like it cooked and went for medium rare. It was decent burger - maybe a little rarer than we like. The burger came with fries.

For drinks we ordered a plain margarita (for me) and  IPA beer recommended by our server (for him). Our host on that evening was friendly and efficient.

On our second visit the guy waiting on us really could not have been any less pleased to be working there or serving us! First up we asked for a beer and a Margarita, same as our last visit. I was expecting the same delicious limey Margarita that I had tasted during our first stay. It was nothing like and very disappointing. Probably not helped by it almost being thrown down on the table.

We also ordered food. This comprised of chicken pot stickers, chicken quesadilla and a turkey sandwich.

None of the food was great. The pastry on the pot stickers was thick. The bread on the turkey sandwich was stale. The best bit was the sour cream that came with chicken quesadilla. This was...

I like the atmosphere of this bar (wood, and granite, warm lighting) but it has gone way down hill. They were pretty busy but not packed and i waited at a table covered with food boxes and drinks and it was neither cleaned nor did anyone offer me service or a menu, despite trying to repeatedly flag them down. They downright ignored me. I moved to the bar and was ignored there for another 15 minutes so I walked over to the Westin and was immediately served and food was really quite good. The Daily Grill. Better food options too. Calmer atmosphere and much friendlier service than the...

I ate here two nights in a row. Both nights, the food came out ice cold. The first night I sent it back and it came back out just as cold. The second night I didn’t even bother to send it back. This is how they roll here. Nobody comes to check if your food came out properly. You’ll have to hail someone down for help if you need anything. The second night, I ordered ribs. They were fatty and cold. Yuk. And my bill was $80 for one person. I’ll stay and eat somewhere else next time. Very...
