Tropicana Pool & Café — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The worst service I ever had. The place itself is very nice and I would like to back but service there … We came for the movie night on Thursday. Hostess let us in and told that in few minutes server will come up to take your order. 20 min nobody came. When we found out who is serving we asked for a menus and that will be ready to order in 5 minutes. Again nobody came for 15 min. We asked the guy who was wearing uniform who got our order, in 7 minutes after that another server came to repeat the order and it all was wrong. They don’t know menu, they don’t know what drinks they have at the bar. Anyways food finally came, no napkins, no cutlery. We closed our check at the bar coz of Apple Pay, they asked us to walk there. Then they lost our check and one by one were coming to ask and ask what was the last name and telling all the last names they had. I got a drink, tables there are wobbly, after 1 sip my drink dropped on the floor. They didn’t offer napkins, didn’t clean, didn’t offer a new drink. At that time I was already pissed of this servise, I told about that tables is shaking can you do something about it, we still have other drinks there and lot of food. Our server answer killed me ( Don’t you see that the floor is uneven that way the table wobbles, if you want a new drink, go get it at the bar, if you don’t like something I can get you a manager ) Well I said yes please call me a manager, but manager never came too … I believe your guests deserve...

The photos on Yelp looked very promising, but our experience was quite the opposite. The breakfast was incredibly expensive, and the quality did not justify the high prices. I'm willing to spend good money on food, but it must come with value, which this place lacked entirely.

We ordered a basic breakfast platter that cost a small fortune, yet the portions were disappointingly small and lacked flavor. The Benedicts were lacking ingredients, simply served with a side of potatoes. The toast was barely warm, and the bacon was overcooked and greasy.

To make matters worse, we ordered espressos, expecting a rich and satisfying coffee experience. Instead, we were served burnt-tasting coffee in paper cups, and to our shock, we were charged $10 for each espresso. The presentation and taste were absolutely unacceptable for that price.

On top of that, we were forced to pay an 18% tip since it was added to the bill automatically. This would be fine if the service was exceptional, but it was very disappointing.

Overall, this restaurant did not deliver on its promises. The high prices are unjustifiable given the mediocre food, poor coffee quality, and lackluster service. I won't be returning, and I suggest you think twice before...

I’m rarely compelled to write a review, but I had to after visiting on a Sunday night. I swear I’ve never felt like more of a bother at a bar than after ordering a drink at this place. After ordering one of the 18 dollar cocktails (all the cocktails were around that price, including their draft margaritas), the bartender made it seem as if I had just asked her to grow the fruit herself and say a prayer while she blessed the drink. It wasn’t a one-off moment either, we tried to be super nice since she seemed bothered and her attitude didn’t change when it became apparent some of the ingredients were out of stock.

The rest of the staff had the same attitude. Even when switching to a draft marg, we felt like we should rush and get out or she would spit in our drink. At 10pm on a sunday at a Hollywood iconic bar you’d think they would at least try. Marylin Monroe’s ghost has hopefully seen better service at that place, watching from above..

The margarita was decent, the parmesan fries were great, the vibe was strange and relaxed like other hollywood bars. pool of course was a nice view. I hope the staff however has had a chance to fix their attitude problem by the time we...
