We went for after dinner drinks only and had a great time. They had a little duo playing music. Ambiance was great. Service was good. I Would go back again

Parking is $8 if your eating at the Dresden but $9 if your going elsewhere and is Valet only. They will give you a ticket to pick up your car afterwards. This place is a nice step back in time. Loved the decor and the Ambiance. The food was good enough to enjoy and maybe warrants a return trip but nothing to die for except that carrot cake! Chefs kiss! It has outdoor seating with privacy walls lined with foax foliage and lights. Ambiance here is vintage elegance. Feel free to dress up if you'd like but the dress code is not strict. This place is small and has 2 separate experiences. The bar side w/ live band entertainment and the dinning side which is more romantic with the dim lighting and small booth seating. We were a party of 8 and it felt a little crammed. Our waiter was very attentive and spot on with the service and gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu. Ordered the Garden salad as a starter, Roasted Eggplant Fettucini, Eggplant Parmigiana, and a side of mashed potatoes. Everything is a pretty filling had to take some home. Good place for vibes.

If you love Hollywood vintage this is the spot! The decor in every room is true vintage elegance. The bar area has booths and a piano with old rock walls and red leather couches . The dinner area has beautiful pillars and light fixtures with white leather booth seating. The calamari appetizer is one of the best in the city and the drinks are chilled to perfection. The food is delicious and I guarantee you will want to lick your plate (but don't do it) . The service is personable, professional and on top of our all of our requests and needs. It was an amazing family Christmas dinner ! Thank you so much Dresden and staff

Absolutely delicious food and a wonderful drink menu. Feels like a very cool jazz bar from the past. Musicians were playing a live set when we went in and the place was hopping. We will def come back. Also while there is no strict dress code I recommend sprucing up a little if you feel like it, it's that kind of place.

Classic vintage ambience! this is old LA at its finest. My friend and I met for preshow appetizers and cocktails. They did not disappoint. The meatballs and fried calamari were great. just hit the spot and it was Service with a smile, even though we were earlier that we needed to order from the bar our server was coming to our table to deliver things and ask us if we needed anything else. I know he was busy and stretched, but the fact that he was doing his best to show us that he was attentive scored points with us. This is an essential visit if visiting the Greek theater or in the Hillhurst Los Feliz area.

There are few places that compare with the mid-century vibe and decor of the Dresden. Their bar is one of my favorites, and I've spent many an hour there nursing martinis and listening to music (still mourning the loss of Marty & Elayne) or prepping for a movie or book signing down the street. However, aside from the bar menu offerings, I hadn't eaten in the dining room in years. But friends invited me so I thought why not? So glad I did! We started with their very decent friend calamari (which I've had in the lounge), fried artichokes, and escargot followed by a surprisingly good Caesar salad. Then I dove into their lamb chops. The only other place I usually have them is at Musso & Frank and these hold up very well to those. The service was impeccable, and attentive but not intrusive. I may have found a "new" neighborhood regular.

First came to eat in the Dresden Room over 30 years ago. Again went multiple times in the early 2000's to see & hear Marty & Elayne whose duo singing lounge act was legendary.....Kind of like a Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gormé. 20 years later, I'm dining with friends, and I'm time warped back to a place that never seems to physically change which in this case is a good thing.   Old school mid 20th century restaurant & lounge with impressive pristine, white leatherette boothes & chairs to add a subtle lush sophistication. Spiral black wrought iron chandeliers twisting down like stalactites. Black stained wooden 2x4 lumber beams as vertical accents which seem a bit awkward like a movie set that doesn't seem quite finished.  Waiters are dressed in ties, black vests, white dress shirts which seem to hark back to at least the 1970's if not earlier. Pacific Dining Car, Dal Rae, Taylor's along with Dresden all seem to to convey what typical luxury dining was like when our grandparents were young. Musso & Frank also comes to mind, but that goes back to the late 1910's.  0) Warm Focaccia-like bread soft & moist with mild garlic butter.    1)  French Onion Soup had a comforting, deep beefy broth infused with a sweet onion under tone. Broth soaked, classic piece of toasted french bread. The cheese covering the soup didn't seem to be Gruyère with a more pronounced fermented, dairy Umami, but more like a bubble gum, bland white cheddar. Still a deal at $9.  2) Veal Marsala: Medium thin cuts of white veal lightly sautéed & coated with what may be corn starch thickened sweet Marsala wine & beef broth. Baby artichoke hearts seem bottled & in subtle vinegar. Button mushrooms add a bit of earthiness.  Mashed potato scented with butter was the accompaniment.  1-2a) ANTINORI, "TENUTA GUADO AL TASSO IL BRUCIATO" Tuscany, Italy, 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah varietals blend into a black fruit richness. Blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate, bit earthy, smooth acidity balanced by fruity sweetness.  Tannin was still a bit strong giving a grittiness on the tongue. Aerating il Bruciato in an oversized decanter would have mellowed out the tannins. My swirling the wine oxygenated it so that by the time I was half way through, the wine acceptably presented itself. 3) Coconut Whiteout Cake: Multilayered soft, plush, dense white cake with thin layer of apricot jam in between along with velvety vanilla custard. Coconut flakes, whipped cream frosting. Spotted by red raspberry syrup.  3a) Regular coffee's bitterness and acidity was a good counter to the richness of the dessert.  We got to Dresden at 5pm on a Saturday and were the first ones there so dinner service by the kitchen was fast. Waiters here are efficient and unobstrusive. Food is closer to 3+, but being able to go back to the previous mid-century upped the stars to 4.
