WP24, Wolfgang Puck’s modern Asian restaurant and lounge, sits on the 24th floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles. Reflecting the revered chef's time spent in the Far East, the eatery shows off his passion for Asia’s ingredients and techniques.
It also boasts one of LA’s most stunning views, and remains a popular place for visitors to enjoy small bites or fine dining before heading to The Staples Center. Recently introduced to the restaurant is the new elevated culinary concept taking over the bar area. Nest, which sits adjacent to WP24, was created as its own entity—a lounge area that is a little more casual and flexible.
Nest blends inventive mixology cocktails like the “Bourbon Buddha” with a menu inspired by the bold flavors Puck is known for. New items include Seafood Turnovers with Indian Spices, Ti Leaf Wrapped Steamed Snapper and Kalamansi Sorbet Creamsicles.
Happily, some of WP24’s lounge favorites remain on Nest’s menu, including Hand Rolled Sushi, Prawn Toasts with Sweet & Spicy Garlic Chili and Tempura Green Beans with Gochu Jang Chili Aioli. A well-curated wine list with over 400 labels rounds out the eclectic yet still approachable menu, which serves fare from 5 p.m.-midnight, Monday-Saturday, and 5-10 p.m. on Sundays.
