Menu Overview
LH Rooftop runs an all-day menu that blends bar snacks, small plates, salads, and full entrees, anchored by a deep cocktail and wine program. The kitchen calls its small plates “American Tapas,” a fitting name for a lineup that travels from Korean BBQ wings to a Mediterranean mezze plate. Heartier appetites are covered by burgers, steaks, and globally inspired entrees, while the dessert list leans seasonal and indulgent. The beverage side is equally ambitious, with LH Signature Cocktails, spirit-free mocktails, an extensive wine-by-the-glass and bottle program, and a rotating draft and bottle list. The result is a menu built for grazing and lingering, ideal for the venue’s social, view-forward setting.
Menu Categories & Highlights
The all-day menu is organized into a handful of clear sections, each with crowd-pleasing standouts.
Starters & American Tapas
This is the heart of the menu and where the globe-trotting really shows. Highlights include the Grilled Korean BBQ Chicken Wings ($21) with miso ranch and kimchi cucumbers, the Mezze Plate ($21) with hummus, muhammara, and grilled pita, and the Jalapeno Popper Dip ($16) built on Hook’s 4-year aged cheddar and house-made tortilla chips. Seafood lovers gravitate to the Tuna Tartare ($23), Grilled Shrimp Cocktail ($25), and Crab Rangoon ($17). For the table, the Parmesan Truffle Fries ($18) and Bulgogi Beef Bao Buns ($19) are easy yeses.
Salads
A lighter trio rounds out the small plates. The Caesar Salad ($18) is made with vegan Caesar dressing and shaved parmesan, while the Mango Salad ($19) brings fresh mango, edamame, crispy wonton, and a mango vinaigrette. Both can be topped with a grilled chicken skewer (add $8) or grilled shrimp (add $10).
Entrees
The mains span burgers to steakhouse fare. The LH Classic Burger ($24) features a Slagel Farms dry-aged beef patty with bacon, cheddar, and special sauce on a brioche bun, with a Southwest Chicken Burger ($22) and a Beyond Vegan Burger ($21) alongside it. Standouts include the Loco Moco “Hawaiian Grinds” ($25) with SPAM fried rice and a fried egg, the Kalbi Short Rib ($29), and the Prime NY Strip ($46), a 12-ounce USDA Prime striploin with truffled baby red potatoes.
Chef Features
A rotating Chef Features section showcases the kitchen’s more composed plates, such as the Antipasto Platter ($26), Tuna Tataki ($26), Wagyu Beef Ribs ($29) with Single Barrel Bulleit BBQ sauce, Pork Belly BLT ($26), and Steak Frites ($36) with a Viet-French au poivre sauce. A Farm Feature spotlights local produce like Seedling Farms Grilled Asparagus ($18).
Desserts
Dessert keeps things seasonal and inclusive. The Mississippi Mud Pie ($14) is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-sensitive friendly, joined by Peaches & Profiteroles ($16) with Bulleit bourbon caramel and the Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake ($14). A rotating Dessert of the Month, such as the “Love is Love” rainbow cake creation ($16), adds a playful seasonal touch.
Cocktails & Beverages
LH Signature Cocktails are priced at a flat $20, with Spirit-Free Mocktails at $15. The list reads like a greatest-hits of modern mixology, from an Espresso Martini and LH Old Fashioned to a Spicy Hibiscus Margarita and the mezcal-forward Bad Bunny “Oaxacan Old Fashioned.” Wines by the glass start with LH House White and Red at $14 and climb through Cloudy Bay and Jordan at $20, while the bottle list runs all the way to Opus One and Champagne tete de cuvee selections.
