Guest Stories: Shirley Brasserie Raves

Dining at Shirley inside the historic Roosevelt Hotel feels like stepping straight into Old Hollywood magic. The moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in the kind of timeless charm that makes this hotel legendary, after all, Shirley Temple once filmed a movie here and it’s allegedly the site of the very first Academy Awards ceremony. That whisper of history adds a special glow to the whole experience. Shirley itself is elegant without trying too hard - beautiful ambience, warm lighting and a menu that feels both modern and elevated. We had the entree bread, the Bransino, the meat and fries. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, and the staff is attentive, friendly and clearly proud of the restaurant’s unique setting. And you absolutely can’t miss the hotel pool. It’s stunning, a little slice of vintage Hollywood paradise with a serene vibe and a charming Charlie Chaplin statue keeping watch. It’s the perfect spot to wander after your meal and soak in the history. They say Marilyn Monroe shot her first movie there and actually lived at the hotel! ✨ If you’re looking for delicious food wrapped in classic Hollywood nostalgia, Shirley at the Roosevelt is a must-visit.

Loved it. A delightful restaurant tucked into the Iconic Roosevelt Hotel. We had the baguette, chicken, tomato tartare, French fries - too good.

Salle agréable, mais l’expérience ne suit pas : nous n’avons pas vu notre serveur de la soirée et, aux rares passages d’un membre de l’équipe, l’attitude restait indifférente. L’eau a été servie une seule fois et nos verres n’ont jamais été re-remplis. Côté assiette, les portions sont modestes, les goûts peu marquants et l’addition n’est pas justifiée. L’ambiance est correcte, mais elle ne compense pas le manque de suivi et la faiblesse du rapport qualité-prix. Dommage.

Great historical place in Hollywood
