Lemon Grove

Rooftop Italian Dining with a View in the Heart of Hollywood

Perched atop the Aster building on Hollywood’s iconic Vine Street, Lemon Grove blends modern Italian cuisine with a distinctly L.A. rooftop vibe. With panoramic city views, lush greenery, and a sleek yet relaxed atmosphere, this stylish spot is just a short stroll from some of Los Angeles' biggest music venues.

Executive Chef Marcel Vigneron (of Top Chef fame) leads the kitchen, crafting a Mediterranean-inspired menu that’s as fresh and vibrant as the surroundings. Whether you're sipping spritzes under the stars or grabbing a quick bite before a show, Lemon Grove delivers a memorable dining experience just steps from the city’s live music action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and Lemon Grove nails it. Just a few blocks from legendary venues on Hollywood Boulevard, it's an ideal pre-show stop. Guests rave about the smooth, attentive service that ensures you won’t be late for the opening act. The rooftop setting creates a fun, festive energy that gets you in the mood for a night out, but the ambiance remains comfortably chill—not too loud to chat over cocktails.
