User Reviews for Latitude

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have been going to Latitude for years now, and thought I should finally post a review. I was so thrilled when they opened back up for lunch! My coworkers and I run out and grab a bite and a glass of wine during lunch and it is the best. They have a stellar wine list not usually seen at sporty bars/restaurants like this. They also have these great lunch specials. My favorite is the Steak Tacos--highly recommended!

Pros: Great wine list, great lunch

Cons: Wish they opened earlier than noon!

I had heard great things about this place from my coworkers, and thought that I should give it a shot. To tell you the truth, I had pretty high expectations going in, but when I arrived they were all met! The food is phenomenal! I can't get the nachos or the sliders out of my mind. I've now gone back multiple times, and I am now the one telling my friends they've got to check it out!

Pros: Awesome food!

Cons: Honestly nothing comes to mind

me and 3 girlfriends went there on a weeknight, way after happy hour. the bar was barely crowded and the female bartender walked past us over 10 times. she didnt even want to acknowledge us, let alone serve us. she definitely saw us standing there waiting, there were still seats available at the bar. we got fed up with being ignored and left. we figured we'd spend our money at a place with better service.

Pros: decor

Cons: service

Happened upon this bar one lovely weekday night. It is a quite strikingly beautiful space, to me at least. I love how it's decorated, the layout, the bar itself. It was not too crowded, which I love, because you can actually talk to the people/person you came with. Saw some folks who looked like they came from work, basically it was a mellow scene. Sophisticated bar and crowd. Can't wait to check it out on a weekend.

Working in the area, I stop into Latitude once or twice a week. With prices going up everywhere, they still manage to give fantastic happy hour specials. I convinced a friend to have her birthday party there last week and everything was great! The food was delicious, especially the ahi tuna wrap... and the drinks were tasty, as usual. I think women getting drinks tend to get snubbed by female bartenders, but the ladies behind the bar here are amazing. The entire staff is fun and energetic and make the experience that much better. I can't say enough good things about the place. Coming here often, I've seen the staff deal with "challenging guests" in a professional and sensitive manner, time and time again. I'm just happy to have Latitude so close to work because at the end of a long day, attitude and watered down drinks is not something I want to deal with.

Pros: Food, Happy Hour, Staff, Music

Cons: Can't think of anything

I go there once a week and usually on Friday after work. They have $4.5 martini and $3.5 margaritta for happy hour. Their buffalo wings and fries are great. But the service could be better.

Pros: Great Happy Hour

Cons: Service

Went with a group of four co-workers for happy hour. Walked in and the place seemed nice enough -- a good crowd of people but not too crowded. They had a few empty tables that were reserved for later on, but were nice enough to let us sit at one for an hour before the reservation. We ordered mojitos and a cosmopolitan. The mojitos were terrible. Couldn't taste the rum (and I don't even like my drinks strong at all). They were just sugar water, and the table sugar wasn't even dissolved -- it just stayed at the bottom of the glass!! We returned the second mojito we ordered and asked for another, only to receive the exact same kind of drink! Returned that one for a cosmo, and it tasted fine. The calamari and fries we had for apps were good. Service was slow, the waitress was fine, but not too friendly, especially after we returned the drinks. It's so close to where we work, but I don't think we'll ever go back.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, good apps

Cons: Watered-down drinks, sloooow service

I could OMG this place to death. They played some awesome old school hip hop, underground best dance music mix I've heard in a looong time, and I live in l.a and enjoy the hollywood scene out here. Long wait time for service, it was busy, obviously a weekend night. Overall it was fabulous. Good looking men & women. Friendly people everywhere, or maybe I was just tanked? Oh well, have at it. Hells Kitchen great scene.

Pros: Dancing, good music, attractive people

Cons: Busy busy

Really? this place is a big deal? Meh, i didn't think so. Went on a Friday night and it was crowded, duh.. I will say the following in my internet monotone voice There are a lot of beers. Wow. Continue in normal voice Perhaps this is just not my scene, which is why I'm drinking on the hatorade. SD isn't bad-it's just not moi.

Pros: rich on beers

Cons: too loud
