Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Universal City

It was very special they customize the menu to read happy birthday to my boyfriend and the waitress was just amazing

We celebrated our anniversary with some friends and had a wonderful evening! Luis took great care of us and he had very warm and pleasant demeanor. The food is always perfectly cooked and delicious. Thanks for the chocolate soufflé with the candles to top off the evening!

The food is nothing short of outstanding, Shawn (sp??), our server, was super friendly and helpful, my wife and i have been to restaurants all over N Am and i said to her The Little Door had the best ambiance of any restaurant i have ever been in

Amazing experience! The staff is so nice! Peter and Guillermo from Vanderpump Rules tv show were so nice to take pictures with me and talk with me and my boyfriend! Such kind people! Great ambiance and the food was fabulous! Definitely get a pumptini!

Shirley Brasserie was a wonderful dining experience that paired the great atmosphere of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with great food. The Restaurant occupies a quiet part of the Lobby area and is large enough to find seating but intimate enough to feel separated from other diners. The menu is spartan but focused, as is the wine list. The appetizers we had were first-rate and handsomely presented. I would recommend the chicken liver mousse, as it was special and hadn't seen it elsewhere. I consider myself an expert on duck and generally prefer it roasted, as many restaurants don't really have the expertise to properly sear it. Not true here. The duck was properly spiced and glazed and seared just right. For this style of preparation, I've not had better. The Shirley Brasserie is not inexpensive, but considering the quality of the food and service (which was also outstanding), I would rate it as a good value. Something for a special occasion.
