I love love love coming here, even when I'm not staying as a hotel guest. My bf and I like to occasionally book a night here for a mini staycation, but sometimes we just crave the food!
Their breakfast is always lovely and so is the ambiance. The service is impeccable and we always feel so well taken care of! The ingredients are fresh and wonderful quality! Every breakfast and lunch we've had here has been perfect.
We love to sit on the patio near the pool, weather permitting. If it's too hot or cold, we sit inside near the window to still enjoy the patio view, if such a table is available.
Summer is here which means we will be back very soon, either as guests or diners! Maybe both! Thanks, Langham! -

The afternoon was filled with crepuscular rays at the regal Langham Hotel. Holiday anticipation was building (like tension on a bow string) for an "al fresco" experience. Car was taken by valet---$6.00 charge---and at entrance, made a right then left and another right and to "The Terrace."
Seated by Nathalie and served by Narciso and Rigoberto---Gracie! Delight manifested as the spaetzle (paired with Grilled Salmon) was sampled along with the crisp broccolini and beurre rouge. Rolls were warm and brought tableside with molded butter orbs waiting in a ramekin.
Coffee was poured for me and engaging talk of the 2019 Rose Parade Marshall Chaka Khan, Cal-Tech, Niels Bohr and application of physics to the natural world was "stuff of intrigue." The pinnacle was the presentation of Tropical Fruit Strudel. A truly non-banal/trite lunch overall. -

Let's end this week with a good one...
I returned back to The Langham but chose The Terrace over Tap Room and this time, I really enjoyed my visit!
From the lobby, it felt as though it was a longer trek since it was the opposite direction to get to from the Tap Room, but I also say this since I was in heels so in theory, it may not have been. Hostess greeted me right away, asking if I wanted inside or out and I once again opted for out. She sat me at a prime table which overlooked the pool area. Coming here around 1:30p was ideal, as it wasn't as crowded as it probably was earlier.
Server came out within a couple of minutes and I made this easy since I already knew what I had wanted. A new menu debuted on the 18th of March, and quite a few things stood out. Today I went with the Cacio e Pepe (their version was with spaghetti, black pepper, Pecorino Romano cheese and a grilled baguette). Bread service was offered and another server came by with a selection of three choices, I opted for the olive which was odd since I'm not crazy about olives but this was pretty good.
Food arrives and I will say compared to what the menu says, the pasta was not spaghetti, nor was the bread a baguette (see photo attached), but regardless, this WORKED on every level. In the past, I've had this dish and it was rather overwhelming for me, but here, it was done perfectly. Just the right amount of pepper, and I was able to savor every bite. Basil was also incorporated, and this added more flavor to an already well-done plate.
The only off moment was when the server was MIA for a while after I had my food taken away, waiting for the check. I'm not sure if he thought I was a guest there, but it took a little bit of time, but not as long as it did when I was at the Tap Room. I knew they closed down at 2p and by now it was almost 2:30p, but I guess if guests were already present, they weren't rushing to kick anyone out.
Some people had pretty pink lunchbox style boxes but I was only given a brown regular box. Perhaps it was due to the type of food I had, but these other boxes were really cute (already thinking of how to obtain one on my next trip).
Overall, my experience this time around went really well, and I'm looking forward to returning to try their version of the Waldorf, in addition to enjoying that pasta dish again. As long as they stay away from bucatini or garganelli as the pasta (don't ask, I'm weird), I'll be enjoying this again!
If you valet, they do validate so it comes to $6, so make sure you present your ticket to them with your check. Most of the time, they are good at asking anyway.
I'm glad the Terrace brought me back to The Langham for a pleasant afternoon. Looking forward to the next one-
(Seems I do a lot of things out of character when I'm out this way: heels, sitting outside, olive bread...) aiming for 5-stars!! -

The abundance of low grade reviews aptly summarize the restaurant - poor quality service; bad food; and unjustifiably high prices. My wife couldn't finish her 'Crab Louie' salad -- a pile of fishy crab, a chunk of undressed Boston lettuce and a thimble of cocktail sauce -- certainly not a crab Louie by any conventional definition ("it tasted like cat food"). My burger was barely edible.
Something is wrong with the management.
