Ambiance is fun and exciting and the decor is funky. Sad about the ravioli on top of the filet. It was dried out and not creamy like what I had in the New York branch. Sad about that! The Brussels sprouts were so good and the lemon cheesecake is to die for! read more

Went here b/c my wife ate at the NY location and couldn't stop talking about it. Had to make reservation a few weeks in advance. Ambiance wasn't too loud. Decoration inside was interesting and different. Waitress Britney was good and always checked on us. Old Fashioned drink was delicious. Spicy Brussel sprouts app was amazing. Highly recommend that. Round Roni app was good, but nothing special. Each had the filet with ravioli on top. It was cooked perfectly medium with good flavor. The ravioli was little too well done. Not enough filling or pepper compared to the NY location. The cheese cake was absolutely fantastic. Clean bathrooms. I personally appreciate the old school urinal that stretches to the floor. Reminds me of the 90's in elementary. One manager with black rim glasses, beard, short dark hair...was wearing white/blue Nike sneakers with his suit. Would've looked fine if the shoes weren't visibly dirty. Gotta have clean kicks for a place like this and not look unprofessional. read more

Bad Roman was actually a hit. Lately I've gone into most new hyped restaurants with pretty low expectations because they rarely live up to the buzz. Usually it's high prices, average food, and service that doesn't justify the cost. That wasn't the case here. The ambiance is probably the strongest part of the restaurant. The space feels fresh, upscale, energetic, and well-designed. The music was great, the crowd was lively, and it feels like the kind of place where you could just stop by for drinks at the bar and still have a great time. We started with the bread, which was fine but nothing memorable. For appetizers, we went with some of the heavier fried options. They were good, but definitely rich. If you're dining with a small group, keep that in mind because these aren't the type of dishes you'll want to eat more than one or two pieces of. They fill you up quickly. The real star of the night was the lobster pasta. This dish absolutely delivered. It was loaded with lobster, the creamy sauce was fantastic, and the pasta itself was the perfect choice for the dish. Easily the best thing we ordered and something I'd come back for again. The filet mignon with the ravioli on top was just okay. The presentation was fun and definitely gets attention when it arrives at the table, but flavor-wise it didn't stand out. Nothing was wrong with it, but it's not a dish I'd order again. For dessert we finished with the tiramisu ice cream cake. After a meal full of rich and heavy dishes, the cold dessert felt like the perfect ending. It was light enough to finish comfortably and tasted great. Service was good, though not exceptional. Nobody did anything wrong, but the staff felt very compartmentalized. It seemed like everyone had a specific role and stuck strictly to it. If someone's job was taking orders, they weren't clearing plates. If someone's job was serving wine, they weren't doing something else. The experience felt a little less natural because of that. That said, our server Ashlin was wonderful. She made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal and even comped one of the dishes, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It completely changed the tone of the experience and honestly made us want to tip more than we normally would. Especially for a newer Los Angeles restaurant, where hospitality can sometimes feel like an afterthought, that level of kindness stood out. Overall, Bad Roman exceeded my expectations. Not every dish was a winner, but the highlights were excellent, the atmosphere is one of the best parts of the experience, and there was enough here to make me want to come back. read more

Thai is a beautiful romantic and hip restaurant. Parking shouldn't be an issue. Vallet parking is also an option. Service is very good. Reservations are highly recommended. Portions are as expected. Pricing is a little bit higher than we would like, but that's not a surprise given the location. Food isn't anything in particularly special. The best items are their appetizer items. 3 1/2 stars that I'll round up. read more

The minute i stepped into Bad Roman I immediately knew i was going to have a good time. I loved the moody lighting and the giant boar at the front. Friendly isn't enough to describe how accommodating and helpful every single person we've come across was. Our group had some dietary restrictions and our server walked as through the menu to make sure everything was covered. After some very thoughtful suggestions, our cocktails came out first and they were amazing. I particularly loved the Amalfi Diet, which was served in a little diet coke bottle, delicious and cute! The food was ridiculously good. Perfect medium rare steak, lobster pasta presented table-side not just for fanfare but with intention, not to mention the humongous seafood tower that felt like both a treasure hunt for accoutrements and an embarrassment of riches in the form of literal jumbo shrimp, crab legs, oysters and caviar. The lemon-shaped lemon cheesecake for dessert. Everything was presented and executed perfectly. Bad Roman just instantly transports you into your own little world where you don't have to worry about anything other than what to order (though they can help you with that too! Thanks Brendan, Rex and everyone else for the amazing recommendations) and it's crazy to think they haven't been open that long. An amazing addition to our little neighborhood. read more

The verdict is out! Overall a magical experience. The seafood here is very very fresh. Oysters were some of the best I've had in LA. Albacore also a 10. 10/10 also on the spicy lobster pasta. However our server seemed over whelmed and constantly forgot what we told him. He held heavy emphasis on the show/presentation that came with the pasta dish however I went to the bathroom and they brought our dishes out and did everything without me present... which I was so surprised by as we are a small party of 2. Why serve a meal to someone not at the table. From there things progressively got worse. The broccolini was so tough a steak knife would be needed to cut through. It tainted our experience. As my partner was at the table with our food and I came back to him waiting for me. The worst feeling. read more

Bad Roman is definitely my go to place when I'm in LA. Just off of Wilshire it is close to Rodeo Drive. The restaurant is beautiful. I am impressed by the attention to detail. That attention to detail follows through with the service and the amazing food. Just love it! Also, the cocktails are great with a terrific wine list. read more

The experience here was great! My sisters and I came here for her 20th birthday celebration. The decor inside was beautiful and made it look very fancy. The service was very great we had Mario as our server and he gave great recommendations on the menu and was very attentive with anything we needed. The food was delicious. Oysters were very fresh and the bread was warm and fresh as well. The lemon cheesecake dessert was the best dessert I ever had. The whole experience was great and would recommend to everyone. read more

Walking into this restaurant is such a vibe! The asthetic is amazing, beautifully designed. It's super viby. I dined with a girlfriend and we started with the roasted garlic babka bread and oh it is so good! Light buttery and garlicky. We also got the yellowtail crudo, also good. The spicy gem Caesar, that had lots of cheese and some yummy crunchy ciabatta crumbs. We shared the chicken scarpariello rigatoni pasta and it had great flavor. We finished with the lemon cheesecake dessert that is super cute and also yummy. It was my bday so they brought out some sorbet with a candle in a super cute dish. We also had some drinks, and overall this place is superb! The vibe, the staff and the food are all great. I will definitely be back! read more

I was so excited to try Bad Roman after calling ahead and confirming they offer gluten-free pasta. Unfortunately, what should have been a great dinner turned into a really concerning experience because my gluten allergy was not taken seriously. Before ordering, I explicitly told our server that I have a gluten allergy. To note, she did not ask about restrictions. I confirmed the all the pastas could be substituted for gluten-free pasta and even asked her to check with the kitchen that one of the appetizers was gluten-free before ordering it. She confirmed it was, and i ordered a gluten-free truffle pasta, a steak, and the asparagus side. Everything arrived and was delicious until I took a bite of the asparagus and noticed crispy toppings on it. I asked someone to check, and they confirmed the topping was not gluten-free. Thankfully, I only had one bite and my reaction would be minimal, but someone with celiac disease or a more serious anaphylactic allergy could have had a much worse outcome. I asked to speak with the manager, but after my server informed her what happened, she never came over. I had to ask two additional staff members before she finally approached our table. Instead of asking what happened or checking whether I was okay, she immediately told me they had removed the asparagus from the bill and were bringing a new one. When I explained my concern, she repeatedly interrupted me and dismissed it as a "miscommunication," saying the server thought the asparagus was for my boyfriend. She also told me, "We don't ask about dietary restrictions here." But once a guest explicitly tells you they have an allergy, assumptions should never be made. If there's any uncertainty, it should be clarified before the food reaches the table. What upset me the most wasn't the mistake itself--it was the complete lack of urgency, empathy, or concern for the seriousness of serving someone an allergen! A genuine apology from the start would have completely changed this experience. To her credit, the manager did come back to the table and apologized; she comped all of our food, leaving us to pay only for drinks. I appreciated that gesture. But with the lack of respect from managements original approach about a very serious matter, I would not be a returning customer. If you have a food allergy or celiac disease, I would strongly encourage you to confirm every single dish you order--including sides, I wouldn't assume that mentioning your allergy once is enough. read more

Such a fun Saturday night out at Bad Roman steps away from iconic Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Sexy and chic restaurant with great service if you have Linn as a waitress. She made the whole night amazing by taking excellent care of our table. We enjoyed the ravioli a top the filet cooked medium. It was outstanding! Great steak in my opinion! The lemon cheesecake is definitely worth a try if you like those flavors! Presentation, flavor, and ambiance all made for a fun night. Drink menu was vast, espresso (nonalcoholic) perfect to waken up the night. Mocktail list available as well greatly appreciated!! Will be back! read more

I love it here and can't wait to go back. The vibe is happy and fun. The food was great. The Brussels Sprouts were the best I've ever had. They added fried mint to it and it elevated the flavor so much. I was with a friend who couldn't eat spicy food so I need to come back for the lobster and eggplant but the rock shrimp pasta was also excellent! read more

My wife and I just had a lovely date night at Bad Roman. From the decor to Chef Clint's food to the service, everything was excellent. Thank you to Brendan and Kevin for making us feel so welcome. Highly recommend Bad Roman! 10/10 read more

We ate here last night. The food was mid. My husband kept referring to it as elevated Cheesecake Factory. The drinks were so bad. It is way too loud, you can't hear anything anyone is saying. For the lobster pasta, the alcohol was not cooked off enough before serving it to us. The eggplant pull-a-parm was salty and undercooked so it was hard to actually pull apart. It also had way too much breading. The tiramisu ice cream cake was too sweet. The lemon cheesecake was so so. The stand outs were the whipped ricotta with truffle honey and the yellowtail crudo. I'm not understanding what the hype is. The inside is visually appealing and decorated nicely but do people not have high expectations for food? I certainly do and Bad Roman fell very short unfortunately. read more

The best part of the meal was dessert. Overall 5/10 The service was good. Wait staff was attentive. Nothing over the top but definitely kind and checked in often enough I ordered the pepperoncini martini which came out neon yellow and tasted exactly what you would expect from its appearance: salty and too much juice. They happily replaced it for me with a martini with a twist which was nice. Husband ordered an Old Fashioned which he said was fine, a little sweet My kids ordered lemonades which actually tasted weird and processed. 1 out of 2 kids actually refused to drink it. The garlic babka was delicious, as was the spicy Cesar The oysters and yellowtail crude were fine. The crudo needed a touch more citrus despite the charred grapefruit in top. The table side lobster pasta was nicely presented minus the huge chunk of wilted basil as garnish. Wish that the lobster tail was already taken out of the shell for us. I get that they wanted to present whole lobster parts but would rather have the meat without the shell and maybe the lobster head as the garnish instead. Would match nicely with their maximalist vibe they have going on. The agnolotti was well cooked but could use more seasoning/taste on the filet instead The Dover sole and wagyu strip were well cooked but also bland. The lemon cheesecake and blood orange sorbet were the best part of the meal. However the orange sorbet came with a big side dish of zabaglione that just seemed out of place. Would be much better as its own dessert with citrus accents and let the sorbet stand on its own Decor is beautiful. Gets loud in the restaurant but not in an unpleasant way - feels very hip and fun and relevant. People dress nicely to come here which is a great pleasant thing to see in LA Not sure that I would come here again but glad that we tried it. read more

For a restaurant that just opened less than a month ago, it was very very impressive. Priced perfectly and not gouging prices like most restaurants today. Very very reasonably priced. The food was incredible and delicious. The lobster pasta was probably the best lobster pasta I ever had. Perfect spice, right balance of flavor and not heavy. Steak was great too and all the apps we ordered. A lot of table side service which is great! Service was outstanding! For a Beverly Hills restaurant, service was excellent. The ambiance was my favorite! It was posh, chic, elegant, and everything that you want in the perfect restaurant atmosphere read more

I really wanted to like this place. The interior was spectacular and so gorgeous, in a maximalist way. Even though I was a guest, it was hard to find something not too expensive to eat, the prices were a bit outrageous. I settled on the Cesar salad with chicken ($10) as protein. The salad was limp and it's not that hard to get salad right (see South Beverly Grill, their salads are incredible!). Staff was attentive. Plenty of free public parking in BH during the day. read more

Incredibly great food and friendly staff. My favorites were the portherhouse, calamari, eggplant, and chocolate cake. Drinkwise, you're not going to believe this, but the Shirley Temple is the best. You will not regret ordering the Shirley Temple. They have their own twist to it that you will not find anywhere else. read more

Bad Roman - Shirley Temple - New American Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

It's way too loud in there and I'm not that old lol. The music volume is fine, it's not that. It's the reflection of voices bouncing off the walls and ceilings. If you have to have a business meeting or want to catch up with friends, forget it. Go somewhere else. A few pieces of fabric on the ceiling or walls will fix all that. Now on to the food. It was very good. The service and the staff are exceptional. We really enjoyed the people we met. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were yummy. I enjoyed the food but I don't enjoy yelling at my friends for 1.5 hours just to have a meaningful conversation. Bad Roman: go visit "Verse" - they have mastered acoustics in a restaurant. You can have a packed house, loud music and still hear the person talking across from you. read more

Love Bad Roman!! We were able to get a table for my cousin's birthday, on OpenTable as a notification because they were fully reserved. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM, but we did not get seated to our table until 7:45 PM. The restaurant was very accommodating and brought us all a glass of Prosecco as we sat down to compensate for the late seating time. I need to especially give a shout out to the manager, D. Anthony! He always comes by and make sure everything is going well, when we told him what happened with a little mishap on our order, he brought us free dessert for the birthday girl. This is how a restaurant should be run! Bad Roman is a jewel in Not only Beverly Hills, but all of Los Angeles! The decor, the energy, the quality of the food and cocktails is top notch! We will be back and I hope this review doesn't make it impossible to get a reservation, LOL!! read more

Bad Roman in Beverly Hills has a lovely atmosphere and truly excellent service. Everyone was warm, friendly, and professional. Our server, Ashlen, was wonderful and made the night feel special. The drinks were also a highlight. Unfortunately, the food did not meet the same standard. The calamari was very disappointing--overly greasy, tiny pieces, and presented in a simple metal basket that felt more casual happy hour than upscale dining. The branzino tasted fresh and had good flavor, but it was very oily and heavily seasoned. It didn't have the refinement I expected for the price. Overall, I loved the environment, the drinks, and especially the service. It's a great spot for cocktails and spending time with friends. If your priority is an exceptional meal, though, the food may not live up to the service standards. I hope they refine the menu because the staff and ambiance truly shine. read more

Our waiter, Robert, was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The lobster pasta was delicious and definitely the best thing we ordered.

Thank you again, Robert, for your outstanding service. read more

Was very excited to try this for a birthday and I'm sorry to say we were sorely disappointed. All scene, no substance. Waiters were kind and professional but the food is bad, verging on insulting for some dishes. We ordered 6 or 7 dishes for 2 people but tried to cancel one after tasting the appetizers and they kindly obliged. Extremely loud as well so you can't even talk, which wouldn't be a problem if the food were good. Positives; friendly waiters who comped us for a dish we didn't eat, decor is trendy, and the chicken was decent. Would be a good spot for just a drink maybe but bar is small/crowded read more

This is the most fun I've had in a restaurant in LA since El Chavo closed years ago. Anthony was our server, and he was SO GREAT, give him a raise! He was knowledgeable, and most importantly, fun. The whimsy that is integrated into this meal makes it mean much more than simply dinner. The food was all excellent (garlic babka, Cacio e Pepe, lemon cheesecake, etc...) but the room was packed, the drinks were fun, and the service was at a caliber rarely seen in LA. Bravo all around. read more

wonderful vibe, food, and service. every bite of food we had was delicious. the branzino was to die for and i can't wait to eat it again! our reservation was for 8:30 but we were not seated until 9:15. this was the only issue we had with our night as when we checked in, we were told the group at our table was finishing up shortly. there were a lot of guests waiting for their table as well, some who came before us and some after. maybe having a time limit on the tables might mitigate this pain point as the people around us were annoyed or left all together. despite the above setback, the food and drinks were nonetheless delicious! our waiter, Alex, was the best. very attentive and shared with us his recommendations as well. he created such an unforgettable night for my friends and i. read more

Wonderful experience. A solid 10/10. I came here on a Thursday night for an 8pm reservation. The restaurant was busy when I got there, but it got busier and louder around 8:30 and on. The ambience is sexy. The restaurant is dark, the decor is beautiful, the music is a fun and the bustling of all the tables talking and having a good time is a vibe. Our server was great too. He had such a fun and good energy, which added to the night. Everything we ordered was great. We got the garlic babka and spicy brussels sprouts for appetizers, the truffle cacio e pepe and brazino for the main and the lemon cheesecake for desert. The branzino was the BEST I've ever had. Really. It was so good. My only complaint was that the cacio e pepe lacked a bit of flavor, so we ate it with the sauce the branzino came in. The presentation of the lemon cheesecake was so fun! I will definitely be back! read more
