I've only been to this restaurant for brunch and tea, and while brunch is OK, the service is a bit haphazard and the restaurant is too crowded for my liking on weekend mornings. I much preferred the high tea. There are fewer people, and it's more relaxed. You can sip your coffee and chat with friends, read a newspaper, etc. The open-air raised balcony style of the dining room is great, you can look out onto Hollywood Road. I love the blackboard menu on the walls and the decoration is pretty cool

Decoration-wise, it's very New York Nolita/Soho feel. In fact, it reminds me of a very good restaurant I had brunch in a couple of years ago (and still remember!) -- PUBLIC (http://www.public-nyc.com/). However, Press Room's service, food, and value-for-money is a pale imitation of PUBLIC, but since we can't fly to New York every weekend, Press Room is not a bad choice.
However, as other reviewers have noted, the prices are not really worth it, food-wise.
I would recommend this restaurant for tea and brunch rather than a full meal. It's best for a nice drink and some people-watching.
