Hollywood just got a serious upgrade. The iconic W Hotel has undergone a dazzling $50 million makeover, setting a new standard for modern luxury in Tinseltown. And the spotlight is now on their latest centerpiece THERE THERE restaurant, a vibrant new dining hotspot that captures the essence of LA’s ever-evolving culinary scene.
Debuting on May 15, 2025, THERE THERE is more than just a restaurant—it’s a lively gathering space inspired by LA’s diverse flavors, blending influences from Japan, Latin America, and Korea into a menu that’s as colorful as the city itself. The vibe is trendy, the cocktails are inventive, and the atmosphere promises to be the go-to spot for creatives, food lovers, and trendsetters alike.
The grand opening was an exclusive affair, with media and food enthusiasts mingling under string lights on the chic outdoor patio. The night was filled with flowing champagne, craft cocktails, and shareable bites that perfectly showcased the restaurant’s lively spirit. Guests indulged in signature drinks like the Lavender-infused Purple Haze, the tangy Damn Good Margarita, and the fiery Fire and Ice Mezcal cocktail, each crafted with fresh fruit and premium spirits.
Menu highlights included mouthwatering starters like crispy Japanese rice balls with spicy tuna, forest mushroom croquettes, and a zesty Thai-style chicken salad. For the main course, options ranged from roasted wild striped bass to flavorful cauliflower Pastor Donna, and the star of the show—their famous THERE THERE Fried Chicken Nuggets served with whipped smoked crème fraîche and caviar. Seafood lovers could enjoy the signature THERE THERE Roll, a fresh Ahi tuna creation that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.
Dessert was equally decadent, featuring a luscious white miso and matcha cheesecake, a delicate crème café tart, and a perfectly crafted espresso martini to cap off the night.
THERE THERE restaurant—it’s a hub for innovative dining and lively conversation in the heart of Hollywood. Located at 6250 Hollywood Blvd, the new spot is set to become everyone’s favorite place to eat, drink, and connect.
