Great experience, the ambiance was lovely. The bartenders are super invested in the experience and drinks they make. We had four cocktails altogether and they are all delicious (more spirit forward: The Nutorious and Hibiki Old Fashioned. Other cocktails: Astro Boy and Drunken Tiger). We also had the edamame which was literally the best edamame we've both ever had. It was roasted and had a delicious lemon and chile taste. I loved their music too, they played old hip hop and rap that was super vibey.

At breakfast I had the best congee I ever had in the United States at San Laurel. The ingredients were spectacular. Home made dried pork hash was made from jamon iberico and their XO sauce was also homemade by the chef. I shall order congee for breakfast every time I stay at Conrad Downtown LA.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
