    Pepperoncini martini and Amalfi Diet
    Tara H.

    We were lucky enough to snag two spots at the bar, and it ended up being the best seat in the house! Our bartender (I wish I remembered his name) was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. It was packed, lively, energetic, and full of great vibes. The cocktails were a highlight! The Pepperoncini Martini and the Amalfi Diet drinks were so unique, fun, and absolutely delicious. The 'Roni & Ranch was the perfect appetizer and one of our favorite bites of the night. Honestly, we could have stayed there for hours just enjoying the food, drinks, and atmosphere. If you're looking for an upbeat spot with amazing cocktails, delicious food, and fantastic service, this is it. Highly recommend!

    Our first time at Bad Roman was a winner. We sat at the bar and first ordered a martini. It was served in beautiful glassware and was the biggest martini I've ever seen. Beware if you have more than one! For dinner we ordered the Faroe Island salmon which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pasta mafaldine is tasty but rather plain. The side of sautéed baby spinach was delicious. The bartender provided outstanding service, and was fun to chat with. The atmosphere is swanky with beautiful chandeliers and nice lighting. You feel wowed the minute you walk in. Highly recommend!

    Loved loved loved Bad Roman. There are so many good things to say, it could be called Good Roman. I didn't know it's only been open less than two months and there are certainly things that will get better but I loved what they have going on so far. Which is a lively atmosphere. Good cocktails (eventually they will be great) and fantastic food. My server was Robert and props to him. We had a great experience and would be treated to be served by him anytime. He had great recommendations and his honesty with his thoughts was spot on. It was a Thursday night and it was packed. We weee sat in the back part of the place so conversation was easier at our table. However if you want the scene and the vibe make sure you're seated in the front room. Next time I will be for sure. We started with table garlic bread that was a good start and definitely didn't want to fill up on it. I tried a nice spicy tequila cocktail. It was made with a habenero shaved ice. It was good but not anything I'd repeat all night. So I opted for a Lalo old fashioned that I drank the rest of the night. The bartender was consistent which is key because they were delicious. We got the spicy Cesar salad, hamachi crudo to start and those dishes were both excellent. We shared everything. Family style. There was four of us and we order three pastas, two mains and three desserts. No one left hungry. And there weren't really leftovers. The Cacio E Pepe with shaved truffle was the best thing I ate for the pastas. We had a filet stuff pasta and the tomato base Arabist's pasta also. But the cacio was so good we ordered a second with our mains. For the mains we had the Wagyu New York and the Branzino. I'm not a big New York fan so it was fine. But the branzino was perfection. We also got spinach and fries on the side. For dessert we had the panna cotta, the chocolate cake and what I loved the deconstructed lemon cheesecake. When I go back it will be hard to try something different but I will. And I can't wait to get back for more Bad Roman.

    I am so happy to say that Bad Roman lives up to ALL of the hype! We had an incredible dinner there with friends, and everything was amazing, from the decor, to the food, to the service. The menu is amazing and has lots of options! Let's start by listing all the delicious food - the Cesar salad was delicious (heavy on the cheese), the whipped ricotta was heavenly, the garlic babka was out of control, the fried eggplant was hefty, and all the pastas and proteins we got were amazing. The dessert was some of the best I've had. Highly recommend the sorbet and the lemon! Service was great too. Our waiters and all the staff were incredible. Only notes: It's super cold inside. I think they could use some gluten free and vegan options. Also, they do cook the lobster pasta tableside. This may be a concern for anyone with an airborne shellfish allergy, and the smell does linger. Otherwise, can't wait to go back!!!

    Spectacular Vibe they got going on. From the moment you walk in, you will be impressed. This place has a unique & funky style of decor that pairs very well with the upbeat energy inside. The appetizers I ordered for myself were nothing short of delicious. The salmon sashimi plate was INSANELY GOOOD. It honestly blew me away & I would surely order it again next time i come. It is super citrusy but also very sweet. The thin jalepeno slices are a great touch as well. The oyesters were so great & fresh. They come already dressed up with toppings so you don't have to stress too much about that lol. The server was super helpful & kind. Loved the whole experience.

    The Table is small so Hoover the food which is easy.

    Caligula, Nero, Claudius, Incitatus were all bad Romans except for Incitatus because he was a horse and Mario who was an excellent Server at Bad Roman. Creep through the traffic in Beverly Hills, until you get to the tile wall with a Neon Snake and Bad Roman displayed. It's really should be Good Roman (no, make that Great Roman). Enter, look around. It's everything Las Vegas wishes it was. Ritzy and glitzy from the open ceiling to the closed reservation book because they're often fully committed on Open Table. The dining room is flashy and panache-y but inviting and comfortable. The pumpin' thumpin' loop is absorbed by your second Double Pour Martini. At 5:00 Pm it's time to take Mom and Pop out for a treat. By 8:00 PM the battle at Monte Cassino was quieter. The Vibe: This is where you hang when you've arrived, the charges got dropped, they bought your script, and the high flyer equities you took a plunge into will now allow you pay off all three mortgages. Everyone was totally hip along with a few hip replacements. Small touches count. A Salt Cellar with Maldon Flaky Finishing Salt and a small hefty Pepper Grinder are on the table for use at your discretion. It all makes you feel good to be here and plan a return even before you order and that's even before you try your first loaf of marvelous Garlic Pesto Babka. The Bar: Way cool and hot at the same time. The beautiful people are stacked up 3 deep with LA's fickle foodies, someone on a Hinge binge, and Bad Roman regulars that make up a convivial crowd without any one feeling crowded. A generous pour of Signature Cocktails, Classics, a Curated Wine List all let you to blame the Bad Ass Bad Roman Bartenders when you're blowing into the breathalyser at the Sobriety Check. Despite being mostly off booze I was tempted by the Martini Pepperoncini. "Hello, my name is Ron and I am a back sliding weakling when it comes to a good Martini". And that's what this was with Oak Leaf Cluster. I am guilt free for having had it. The Bad Ombre was short and to the point A wannabe Whiskey Sour that was easily drinkable (said I after a polite sip). The Staff: Mario was a Pro from the jump. Bright fellow, he was, knowledgeable, and just enough Mario tableside to curate a fabuloso dining experience. Brother Mario knew when to take charge and when to take a powder. He enhanced the whole adventure. The Food: Dannatamente buono. The Garlic Bread Babka was positively brilliant. Served hot, a soft interior with a river of Pesto running through it. Redolent of Garlic all encased in a Parmesan Cheese dusted crust. Order two and I defy you to leave a crumb behind. The Crispy Calamari Casino was a basket of Calamari Fritti which were battered tubular slices, deep fried and dotted with specks of Speak (Bacon), a drizzle of Lemon Juice and a drip of Marinara Sauce. Eat'em while they're hot and before they become soggyfied. No problem, I inhaled them. The Spicy Caesar gradually offered up it's heat. Toasted Bread Crumbs stood in for Croutons. All in all this Caesar had a right to preside over the Roman Senate. The semi-main event was a Grilled Pork Double Cut Chop served with a meaty Rib. The Pork was sweet, perhaps from a Maple or Brown Sugar Glaze, but not too sweet. It was tender and running with juice as a Pork Chop cooked just right should be. No mystery chew, no gristle, no sinew, no cartilage, and no strings attached. The Chop was settled onto a bed of Roasted Escarole. Let the juices saturate the greenery first, then enjoy it. A very clever presentation indeed. As soon as the heat quiets down a bit go feral on that bone. The show stopper was the Grilled Butterflied Branzino. It was cooked as good as anyone can cook Fish. It was served spread Eagle on a bed of Salsa Verde and fresh Lemon Quarters to squeeze over the delicate filets before you. The Fish was translucent and transcendent and had me desperate for a third Garlic Bread Babka to sop up everything that slipped off my fork. Cooking Fish they well separates the true Professionals from the occasionally lucky home cooks. Mario lobbied for the Lemon Cheesecake and boy, was he right for which I remain grateful. The "Lemons" were really pastel colored White Chocolate illusions. Crack into them and find Lemon Panna Cotta. Questo e stato fantastico. It didn't hurt to add two ample scoops of Blood Orange Sorbetto. No more roamin' round town looking for killer Italian. My roamin' days ended at Bad Roman.

    The food is amazingly delicious the drinks the vibe is all awesome. Been here like once a week since it opened up and it's one of my new favorite restaurants in Beverly Hills

    Bad Roman had been on my list for a while, and it lived up to the hype overall. The space is lively and fun, with a trendy atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a night out. Parking was fairly easy to find, they also have valet. The dishes were flavorful, well-executed, and perfect for sharing, service was good as well. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's pretty much what I expected given the location, so it wasn't a surprise. I'd come back for the experience and to try a few more things from the menu, especially with a group.

    Nothing bad about this place. Went with a big group so we got to try a lot of the menu. The service was definitely good for a big group they were very attentive. My favorite dish was the pepperonis but I really like pepperoni so maybe that's just me. The lemon cheesecake is very light and unique, the presentation is beautiful. The only disappointment of the night was the filet with raviolo it was very bland. The pastas were delicious and the drinks were strong. Solid new addition to Bevery Hills.

    Anthony K.

    The interior is vibrant, and perfectly lit, making it an incredible spot for a fun night out. However, the food is just fine, and it doesn't live up to the hype or premium price tag. Service is equally average. Go for a drink to soak in the spectacular vibe, but lower your expectations for the meal.

    Wedge salad, loved
    Chopstiix X.

    Server was attentive, ( LiNDA) drinks were brought out promptly. Wedge salad was delicious, it was definitely different from usual, topped off with thousand island. Steak was meh with the white sauce, lobster pasta was good, a little spicy if you like spice, and I like Thai spice. Potato wedges were good. I rate this place 7-8/10. What stood out the most was the service and the food was well seasoned, ( not too salty, but enough flavor) lol! It's a cute medium sized restaurant.

    Stephany V.

    Ashlyn gave us amazing service! She was super sweet, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious, and the rest of the staff was also really friendly and welcoming. And the decor is beautiful Definitely a great experience and we'll be back!!

    Yas E.

    Went here a few weeks ago with a few friends when it just opened. The service wasn't up to par as they were still trying to figure things out which would have been forgivable if the food was amazing. The food was alright but definitely not memorable. Probably won't be back unless I'm dragged in by my friends.

    Darling was on my list to try ever since I read about it on Eater. It eventually became one of 2…read morerestaurants that were the focus of my recent staycation in the West Hollywood/Beverly Grove area, the other was perennial favourite A.O.C. I was familiar with chef/owner (and James Beard Award winner) Sean Brock, having dined at two of his Husk restaurants (Charleston and Nashville), where he first gained fame and accolades. He is no longer affiliated with Husk or some other Nashville restaurants, but still has a pizza place there, so he is still bi-coastal. I can't say what drew him to SoCal, but is clearly enamored of our bountiful produce and purveyors, which he integrates into his "Heritage Southern", often live-fire, cooking. He's apparently quite a music lover also, hence the live DJ all-vinyl booth in the bar/lounge. Darling is on the northern end of Robertson between Melrose and Sunset. Many restaurants of note are nearby, including The Abbey, Craig's, SushiSamba. Many, including Darling, do not have valet parking, so that can be an endeavor you should allow time for. Darling is a pretty large, gorgeous and airy space, divided into an open-air-ish lounge/bar and a dining room towards the rear, which in turn is divided into 2 sections. The space used be the restaurant Soulmate, and looking at old pics still up on Yelp, it is clear many of the design features were repurposed for Darling, including the beautiful wood-beamed ceiling and booths in the dining room, the olive tree and retractable roof in the lounge, and the exterior. The impressive mural in the dining room appears new, as is the DJ booth. The weather was in the 90's during my visits, so the more A/C-controlled dining room was my choice for seating. Darling serves dinner Wed-Sat and brunch Sundays, so of course I had to try both. There's also a small Happy Hour menu Wed-Sat in the lounge/bar. Here's the lowdown: Dinner 1) Deviled eggs. A classic Southern snack, bougied up with bluefin tuna belly. Delish, with a slight kick, but just 2 per order. 2) Abalone and rice stew. Another winner (and smallish portion). Earthy, yet light, topped with a confit egg yolk. 3) The Darling dry-aged steak burger. Just 24 served per day. The stellar meat is a blend of 3 types of beef, mostly dry-aged prime, cooked over the live-fire grill. It was served simply with ketchup, cheese, raw onion and Dijonnaise , allowing the beef to shine. Served without accompaniments. 4) Sliced tomatoes with buttermilk dressing and tomato vine vinegar. A simple and refreshing taste of summer. 5) Blackberry sorbet Eton mess. Delish sorbet that was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Eton mess is whipped cream and meringue shards. The Texas deer skewers and Anson Mills cornbread were also of interest to me; another time. Brunch 1) Sonora wheat pancakes. Pretty classic, with crispy edges, fancy Maison Bordier butter and maple syrup. 2) 5-fat fried chicken. Also available on the Happy Hour menu. I was told the chicken was heavily spiced, but not heat-spicy. Its red-orange hue made me pause with fear, but it was exactly as described. The seasoning is quite chili powder-forward (Ancho chili?). The chicken is boneless thigh meat (my fave chicken part), just like the Spanish fried chicken at A.O.C. Served with a vinegary hot sauce (didn't use), honey (used it all) and an assortment of pickles. The 5 fats used are chicken fat, lard, country ham, bacon fat and smoked butter. Quite different from A.O.C.'s version; apples and oranges. Try them both. 3) Watermelon sorbet with Bonny melon and lemon verbena. Another sorbet winner, even more refreshing with the melon. Their cocktail and wine offerings seem pretty extensive. My zero-proof pineapple concoction was fine and delish; I had it at both meals. Service and staff was excellent and oh so friendly--hostess, servers, busboys, manager. I wish I remembered the names of my servers for shout-outs; their names didn't appear on my checks. Speaking of checks, you have the option of paying via QR code or with a traditional paper check and table-side hand-held gizmo. I did both and recommend the traditional method to avoid the $3.99 "Platform Fee" for using the QR code. Lastly, I found the music pleasant and mostly retro (the DJ usually puts the album currently spinning on display), but very loud. Guests were yelling in order to converse. Hope to return, and maybe see Chef Sean DJ-ing.

    We came here on a suggestion from a friend who is a fan of Sean Brock. The setup is really cool -…read morethe front half of the restaurant is a lounge/bar area with a partially open air roof that gives way to a tree growing in the middle of the lounge. The back half is a more traditional seating area with booths and beautiful murals. The restaurant has an interesting and creative cocktail list that was difficult to choose from. We tried the Paradis and Marigny No. 2. I preferred the Paradis - it was reminiscent of a tropical tiki drink. The Marigny No. 2 was also nice, floral, and refreshing, but strong. Our waitress recommended 2-3 dishes per person, so we opted for the deviled eggs (snack), cornbread (app), dry-aged steak burger (main), and rockfish with clams and grits (main). The deviled eggs and rockfish were my favorite. The eggs had a really rich flavor, and the tuna added a unique twist on an otherwise familiar dish. The rockfish had a perfectly spicy, buttery sauce, and the grits were the perfect accompaniment. I wasn't a fan of the cornbread; the predominant taste was of being burned, and the bread was flat and dense, rather than being fluffy. The tomato jam was definitely the surprisingly sweet star of that dish. Without the jam, the cornbread isn't very pleasant to eat. I also thought the burger was just ok, nothing standout, but solid. They only make 24 burgers a night, so ask your server if they're still available if that's what you're ordering. For dessert, we ordered the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and dates. It was a perfect ending to the night - the dessert was super rich and decadent. Parking is limited to metered street parking or nearby parking lots. Service is warm and friendly without being overbearing, but can take a while. Overall, the experience was pleasant with some hits and some misses. The menu is certainly unique and overall worth trying if you're feeling a bit adventurous.

And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

The atmosphere is really beautiful, and the service was wonderful, but the food is just way too expensive for what it is. I met up with my friend here for lunch on a Monday, and we had no problem getting a table, it wasn't too busy, and I was able to find street parking about a block down. Or you can pay $15 for the lot that's right behind it. I got the Fish Tacos and it was $30 for 2 sad little tacos and a side of quinoa rice. My friend got the harvest salad, added chicken, and a coke. For all that it was almost an $80 lunch. Insane pricing. This place is cute but not $80 cute.

The only good thing about this experience was the attentive waitress, unfortunately I didn't ask her name. What a disappointment!

    It was my first time here and I came here for my birthday. I never heard of this restaurant. I…read morelooked on ig, yelp; and the website and it was literally right up my alley. Fancy restaurant and great quality pictures....they give me Europe vibes. Conrad, the host was so professional and very inviting. We got set right away. The only thing I was a little bummed about was that the menu online isn't the menu they have in person. The host let me know if there was something wrong with the website. It was limited options, but I do like they have an amuse bouche tasting course and then in all the cart side. I started with the truffle fries, which are absolutely delicious and then I got the 36 ounce steak. These are big juicy pieces and they cut it for you table side. I love the wine sauce it comes with. I also got the cannoli caviar and something about me is that I love caviar. This place is definitely expensive taste I think we spent almost $1000 here. We each got two cocktails and then a tequila chilled shot. I got the Hanuto and he got Pinot. The valet was also nice gentlemen as only $20 I believe. The dark soufflé was pretty good, but I was hoping for something more dense however, the chocolate candies at the bottom was so tasty and a good crunch. They also have a hidden menu with Margarita pizza, tuna cones, cheesey potato, and more... oh and steak that came with cheese potatoes and they were a little too cheesy for me, but it was an experience to see a big cheese pull

Having said that, some of the food was a bit of a let down for the price: 1) amuse bouche 4/5: it was some savory sweet raspberries in a nest come, good blend of flavors 2) salmon pizza 2/5: the cream cheese sauce and salmon, caviar toppings were good. The pizza itself was very unique. But the crust was dry like cracker and hard to eat, it was cold and reminded me of frozen pizza. It should have came with a dip. 3) schnitzel 4/5: as someone who doesn't like schnitzel, this dish was very good. The bearded fried chicken reminded me a bit of mcnuggets. The side dishes of coleslaw cucumber, vinegar potatoes and tomatoes were divine. The serving size was rly big so we were able to split this dish. 4) kaiserschmarrn 3/5: vanilla souffle on a bed of strawberries, compote, and ice cream. Not very sweet, so get this if that's your thing. I thought this was just ok but my husband rly loved this. Total came to $175 before tips which is def pricey.

    I want to start off by saying our party had such an amazing time. We were celebrating one of our…read moreown in marriage, and the service we received was top-notch our server. Daisy was literally the sweetest we've come across in a long time in terms of Customer Service not only was she attentive, but she was caring. She was very much involved and just array of sunshine. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy honestly it felt like she was one of the girls. We all had an instant connection and almost felt like we were friends. We shared a lot of laughs and stories and I don't think I've had an experience like that before she's special. Everyone in the party loved her and honestly wanted to take her with us We were a party of 10 so she definitely had her handful but she took care of us and we love her for that. She definitely helped in celebrating this special moment. I also would like to give a shout out to Raymundo one of the other workers that helped us in a bachelorette dare to find someone to serenade the bride to be and he's sang this beautiful Spanish ballad. It just was an overall sweet experience and I thank them for helping us wrap this special day in a bow! As for the food delicious the charcuterie board is sooooooo good. Oh my goodness the oven baked brie bread with truffle on it blew my mind. I would honestly come back here and just eat that all day but because our experience was so amazing especially with Daisy I would definitely come back with my crew just to see her again.

I happened to be making an early morning delivery down the street at Allo and had always been curious about Wally's $39 lunch prix fixe menu. Honestly, it sounded almost too good to be true. I walked in right when they opened at 11:32 a.m. and grabbed a seat at the bar. My bartender and server, Shaline A., absolutely made my day. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and provided genuine hospitality from start to finish. I started with the Caesar salad (with anchovies). Personally, I think a traditional Caesar should always have anchovies they're part of what makes it so special. For my entrée, I had the dorade fish], and it was beautifully prepared. Every bite reflected the quality and attention to detail that Wally's is known for. To finish, I enjoyed the cheese plate featuring a truffle cheese that day. Let me tell you... A+! It was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. From the service to the food and the overall experience, Wally's exceeded my expectations. The $39 prix fixe lunch is an incredible value for the quality you receive. I highly recommend stopping by, and I'll definitely be back.

The setting is lush, elegant, and wonderfully peaceful, with the terrace overlooking the gardens and pool area. We randomly ended up here after being in the hot sun shopping Beverly Hills. Such a nice relief. We started with the bread, which was simple but delicious, then had the strawberry gazpacho, a refreshing and unexpected summer dish that felt light, bright, and beautifully presented. The corn agnolotti was a standout, rich and delicate with that perfect balance of sweetness from the corn and savory depth in the sauce. The bolognese was comforting and satisfying, a classic done well, and the Caesar salad was fresh, crisp, and but not presented as a traditional Caesar. It is two romaine wedges. We ended with the chocolate mousse and it was a lot of food. Maybe better to share as the portions are generous. The food, atmosphere, and service made it feel like a true Beverly Hills escape. It is a lovely choice for a special lunch, a girls' day, or taking visitors somewhere that feels quintessentially Los Angeles.

    Hmm... where do I start?…read more I was interested in booking one of their private dining rooms, so I reached out well in advance. I have to say the communication leading up to the event was pretty disappointing. I sent emails, called multiple times, and often got no response. I eventually found out that only certain people handled private event bookings, but getting in touch with them was a challenge. Every time I called the hotel, I was told they had sent the events team a message. Even after I finally secured the reservation and paid the deposit, I still had questions that went unanswered. In fact, some of them weren't addressed until the night before the event, which was pretty stressful when you're trying to coordinate a special occasion. For a hotel that markets itself as a luxury 5-star property, I honestly expected much better communication and customer service. The booking process definitely did not feel like a 5-star experience. That said, once the day of the event arrived, everything went much more smoothly. The service during dinner was good, and the staff took care of us well. We had a prix fixe menu for our guests. I had the steak, which was cooked really well, and the tiramisu was a nice way to end the meal. Most importantly, everyone had a great time, which is what mattered in the end. One tip if you're planning to come here: there's an underground public parking garage right next to the hotel that's much cheaper than using the valet. Overall, the food and service on the day of the event helped make up for a lot of the frustration beforehand. I just wish the communication and event planning process matched the standard that The Maybourne advertises.
