The Dresden Restaurant & Lounge, Los Angeles CA

My goodness the mid-week music is just.the musicianship of everyone they bring in. Addy Daddy and group blew out minds with funk and jazz galore.the drinks are top notch and despite how insanely packed the specialists knocked it out o the park

One of the classiest establishments that Los Feliz had to offer. The live jazz in the lounge is extraordinary and the cocktails are perfect. I treated myself to dinner alone one night and it didn’t not disappoint. The salmon was delicious and so was the wine. The ambiance is very fancy and you’ll just feel the old Hollywood glamour seep into every aspect of the experience! 10/10 recommend!

The $50 steak I got was barely edible. I ordered medium and it was practically raw. And mushy, bland. If it hadn’t been my buddies bachelor party I’d have sent it back but I didn’t want to make an issue so I basically wasted it. Sad.

A staples of the Los Feliz locale. Nothing like coming in here for some jazz and a whiskey beverage.

I had such a Lovely birthday dinner, great food and service, and tummy drinks. Thank you @dresden

We went there on a whim when were looking for a romantic place to have a nice meal. We found parking to be in a sketchy little lot with a guard watching something on his little TV, but at least he was there watching over the cars. Walking down into the restaurant was a challenge as the stairs are steep and the handrail is not super useful, but it is manageable if you take your time when you can't move quickly. However, once you go in, you are transported back to a different era where the seats are almost spread like a speakeasy and the wait staff is mostly on point. The waitstaff was really quite good to be honest. However,

We got the crispy artichokes as an appetizer. They were not crispy, nor were they tasty. It was like they had been pickled, then frozen, then microwaved. They were inedible.

As main course, we got sirloin and prime rib. The sirloin was tough as if it had been frozen, then thawed quickly, and grilled. The prime rib was fairly well done, if not seasoned. The mixed vegetables were clearly only broccoli and had been frozen as well.

We decided to try a warm apple tart as dessert. That was soft, tasteless, and cold.

We had several mixed drinks as well. If you can get through the over pour or the under pour, and the fact that the mixed drinks are $15 a piece, they aren't bad. I do recommend the chocolate martini.

By the time we left, the place was hopping and very busy. The staff told us that reservations are always recommended after 5 on Friday and Saturday, but I don't see why.

All in all, the food was gross but the service was good.

Really rude bartender, charged us for a drink we didn’t even order. Worst service I’ve ever encountered in a bar in la. If you want to feel sad and angry, come here.

Food was good, service was ok. Was overcharged called twice to have it fixed they didn't help had to call my bank to reverse charges.

What a wonderful surprise this was! A fantastic club/restaurant that is so beautiful! Can't wait to go back again. It was like going back to the good ole days! Enjoy the music very much

I love this spot and have been coming for years. The interior is beautiful. The vibe and music are great. They drinks are good and strong, and they're familiar with some rarer cocktails.

The Dresden was excellent in every way. We had reservations and we were seated immediately. The horseshoe shaped booths were very comfortable and spaced in such a way that we didn't conversations of others. The prime rib was cooked exactly how each of us liked it. We received service when we needed it, but the waiters were not intrusive. The meal was well paced- no entree' was served before we were all finished with our salads. It was a really nice experience!

Dinner had closed for the night which was disappointing. Dark & moody vibe, cool to check out & the staff were friendly.

Very cool spot with tons of character and a friendly staff/crowd. The drinks might be a little weak, but the food is good and the entertainment is top-notch. Really enjoyed my visit!

Half dry but ok food, aggressive owner, waiters tossing menus/bread on the tables (but some waiters were sweet/helpful), and then in the end they refused to split the bill for 20 people. It was fun as an experience and we have a crazy story to tell, but never again

This place reminds me of The Godfather movie. It has a similar feel. Even the staff act like you are in an Italian-American environment. The food is amazing and you get a lot for what you pay.

By far one of my favorite places to get a cocktail in LA. Fabulous staff, perfect Old Hollywood atmosphere, friendly staff and ownership, lux atmosphere and delicious drinks. An absolute MUST. ***** 5 STARS

Intimate, dimmed lounge with fun bar bites - great for sharing! Cocktails were fantastic and service was good. Lovely place to soak in old Holywood vibes

Such a cool find. Searched for best martinis and found this place. Next time will do dinner with my martini. Very old school cool!

Here’s to you Marty and Elayne!
The LA you built was the best version the city has ever had. It’s the character you played a major role in when I think of LA as my “home town”.

Hey this place is an old school LA institution.solid bar drinks.great service. Dana is one of the bartenders there and Bonnie is one of the servers and they are always really great.

Be sure to check the schedule because they close early on the weeknights.
