Going to afternoon tea has been on my list of bougie things to do once I'm back in LA!! The…read moreLivining Room at the Peninsula hotel did not disappoint! I went Sunday, and saw a bottleneck at Valet so I found plenty of parking a block south and on the side street. Valet was only $18 for the 2 hours we were there so not awful at all. This hotel is super elegant and walking into The Living Room was like that, walking into a living room. It was right there past the receptionist and with a glass back drop of the garden. We opted for the 2nd tier, Premium. It doesn't change the tea choice ( you only get 1) or the food, it's just whatever champagne or bubbles you prefer. And oh my god! That rose was fantastic! I am not a rose fan, but I see why this one was considered Premium. I choose the coconut creme tea, thinking it might he herbal, but I didn't ask. I was planning on my jacked on caffeine and sugar before the day was over. All the finger sandwiches were fabulous, I ate them all. My favorite was the salmon, chicken and egg salad. Although I also enjoyed the egg plant. I can't tell you all the desserts that I ate. I ate all of that too. I literally only left half of a scone and the scones were fabulous as well. They were soft and they were fresh and I don't think i've ever had a fresh scone before so game changer! The service was perfect! Someone is coming by to pour you more tea. Everyone was very nice and attentive. We had a lovely time! I highly recommend this place for afternoon tea with the gals!

I came here on a Sunday with my mom and the presentation is beautiful…read more They offer valet parking. You walk straight past the lobby and run into the restaurant. They seated us right away for our reservation. My mom and I love high tea. We try a new place about twice a year. This place is stunning. The food is okay. I appreciated that my mom and I each had our own stand since most places do two of everything and place on one stand. The tea was good. It is a bit pricey - $135 per person for afternoon tea, an additional $65 per person for unlimited champagne. My mom & I both had the afternoon tea, she treated herself with the unlimited champagne and a $24 caviar bite which was so small, I would consider it half a bite. It was still worth a cute picture and my mom said it was delicious. The tip was included in our bill and was a little over $400. The servers are attentive and checked up on us often. I will say there is limited seating and although it is comfortable, it is a bit awkward. I would come back here for the aesthetics and look however as for food and traditional high tea, most likely not.

I've always heard good things about Pura Vida Miami- super happy I got the chance to visit the…read moreBeverly Hills location when I was in town. The atmosphere is clean, stylish and bright, good vibe for a friends/family brunch. The staff were super accommodating and kind. The service was really fast as well. I sat outside, made for great people watching. The flu shot was tangy and super refreshing. The perfect egg sandwich with Canadian bacon was DELICIOUS- wow, super solid breakfast sandwich. All ingredients were fresh, including the sesame bagel. The bacon was salty, savory and perfectly chewy. The lettuce and tomatoes were refreshing and the eggs were fluffy and warm. The pura vida sauce was garlicky and had a soy sauce tang to it- accentuated the sandwich well. Overall amazing experience at Pura Vida Miami in Beverly Hills.

Two hours free parking in underground garage across the street…read more This is located in the heart of all the retail and shopping in Beverly Hills. The price point is definitely not affordable but there's a market for everyone! I got a smoothie (an expensive one) called Coco Azul. The color was beautiful. I wondered what made it blue but didn't ask. Flavor exceeded my expectations. I likely won't be back only due to the price point. The cafe had ample indoor seating and also seating outdoors on their patio. There are food options but I only got a smoothie. There are a few other locations across town. The interior and decor is a sleek, clean, modern and minimalist vibe.

The…read moreparking here can be tough but I came at 6:30pm on Sunday so street parkings are free and there were plenty. We ordered many dishes to try and the group of 3 were all full at the end. Each of us paid around $47. Papaya Salad 5/5 I have no complaints about this dish. The papaya is crunchy. Sauce has tangy kick. Chicharron 5/5 has an amazing tangy, sour sauce. It goes well with the pork belly. The pork belly is juice, crispy on the skin and not chewy or tough Crab fried rice 5/5 is my favorite. The fire-roasted, wok flavor is outstanding. Egg is soft and moist, melting in my mouth. Pad thai 5/5- tofu is crispy. Pad thai sauce is sweet and sour. Noodle is al dente, satisfactorily chewy. Khao soi 5/5 has tender ribeye beef. Noodle is also chewy. The coconut soup is creamy and rich without feeling too heavy. Overall I enjoy all my food. The flavors and textures were in ooinI wish the service was more attentive. My water was out and I had to request more water, same for chopsticks.

Especially the Mushroom Calamari :) Enjoyed the Spicy Italian Pizza, Gluten Free, of course! It tasted like meat but it wasn't. It tasted so savory and clean. Definitely needed the Zab's Hot Sauce for an extra kick!! Calamari was so GOOD and I can't believe they nailed the crunch and the texture for fried mushrooms! I was so impressed with the food quality and left mind blown at the flavors, textures, and the crazy food wizardry they did with plants!!! Thank you so much to my fellow Yelper Mukti for the wonderful recommendation :)

Such a cute restaurant with a small outdoor patio seating. Perfect on those sunny brunch days. Wish…read morewe could have sat outside but there's only about five tables. The interior is like a greenhouse. Shades of greens and taupe/beige tones throughout. Aesthetically pleasing for all your Instagram and other social media content. The hostess must be in a (bad) mood on Friday, May 22 because she tossed/threw the menus on our table when we wanted to sit in a specific table. Wonder what her issue was? My husband ordered the Surfer's Burrito ($18.50) and I got the OG Avocado Toast ($18). Additional $4.00 to add impossible sausage to the burrito. Food was good, nice and flavorful but definitely overpriced. $18 for a small ol avocado toast and at $18.50 for a burrito, you would think there's at least some kind of protein in it. They have an extensive cocktail list as well as mocktails and all kinds of juices available. I thought the Daughter Water ($9.00) sounded pretty refreshing. It's a cold pressed spritz with soda water, mint and your choice of juice. I decided on the water flower option with watermelon, fennel, honeydew, lime and lavender. Like everywhere in WeHo, metered parking on the streets so good luck with that. Minus one star for the menu being tossed at us and minus another star for the price to food portion.

They also have a nice selection of pastries. Seating is limited, so plan to get your order to go. The lovely barista greeted me when I arrived. She happily explained some of the drink options and mentioned that they use ethically sourced organic coffee & tea. I decided to try the Cubano - a strong, sweet coffee made with dark-roasted espresso and a unique foam called espumita, which is created by whipping the first drops of coffee with brown sugar. The first sip was a delightful surprise. I could taste the rich, deep flavor of the beans. It was bold but not bitter. Slightly sweet and creamy but not watered down. It's also made with 4 shots of espresso, so I was buzzing around the office all day. Brain fog be gone! LOL! Comoncy's Cubano might just be my new go-to coffee drink.

I would give this place 10 Stars if possible!…read more A real hidden gem in Beverly hills and I would highly recommend going here! A very exclusive Brunch menu but everything was a major hit! HUMMUS MASBACHA 10/10 was so smooth! Really flavorful and everyone wanted more of this! This was a vegetarian option which came with some chickpeas and a boiled egg on top. Just a heads up in case you don't eat egg that you should ask to take it off. PITA BREAD - This game with the hummus and it was perfectly warm and toasted and soft on the inside and crispy and the outside and just a mind-blowing pita bread! CHARRED EGGPLANT 9/10 was really soft and had a mild sweet flavor. It was cold which I was a little surprised by, but it went well with the warm Pita that came with the hummus! Only reason I took off a point is because it felt a little oily and it was the only item that didn't get fully wiped off the plate. CAULIFLOWER FLORETS 10/10 So flavorful and I think this might have been the family's favorite on the menu because it just disappeared. BREAKFAST BURRITO with FALAFEL 11/10 My in-laws don't eat meat or egg and wanted a proper vegetarian item for breakfast and we asked to customerize the burrito by replacing the eggs and bacon with falafel. Father in the thought he would not eat any of the burrito but ended up actually finishing his half of it! The restaurant needs to add this as an item on the menu! SHAKSHUKA with MERGUEZ SAUSAGE 10/10 What are really delicious and hearty breakfast item here. Husband and I shared this one and it was really flavorful and a good portion size as well. Good amount of sausage in there that went with the egg and the tomato sauce. JERUSALEM BAGEL - 12/10 This game along with the shakshuka and I think everyone on the table wanted more of it! It was actually warm and so huge and had that perfect crisp outside and a really lovely flavor. Cannot say enough good stuff for this one. SHUK SALAD with CHICKEN BREAST 10/10 Just a simple and healthy salad here but I would highly let the money if you want to balance out some of the heavy items on the menu but still get some vegetables and protein in. We did not use any of the dressing.

What happened to Nua???…read more It used to be a hidden gem; a warm, welcoming restaurant with exceptional food, genuine family-like service, and generous, satisfying portions. All of that is gone. The food is unrecognizable. The Israeli breakfast looked like a sad box lunch. The shook salad was essentially a bowl of arugula with a few stray vegetables hiding somewhere inside. And the famous Hummus Masabaha, once a signature dish worth returning for, has been reduced to a small cup of garbanzo beans with a drizzle of olive oil and a single egg, at less than half the size it used to be. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone who remembers what it once was. Bring back the real Nua!
