    Novikov is an elevated Mediterranean restaurant in Beverly Hills. The large potted trees throughout the restaurants gives vibes of dining in Greek vineyard. There's seafood, produce and bread in the back that shows the fresh daily ingredients. Beverly Hills Parking lot underneath the restaurant with 2 hr free parking before 6pm. For the food: The set lunch menu is one of the best values in Beverly Hills. The Borscht is delicious with rich beet flavor. The branzino is an upcharge, but well worth it. It's one of their signature dishes. The panna cotta is light and creamy. I'd happily go back for lunch after an appointment.

    We went to Novikov last night with my wife and another couple, and we honestly enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere is amazing. It feels luxurious and elegant, but at the same time lively and fun, almost like a restaurant and a party in one place. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Everything we ordered for the table was delicious and prepared at a very high level. The truffle risotto was absolutely perfect, the pasta was excellent, and the bluefin tuna tartare was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We shared several dishes, and there wasn't one thing on the table that we didn't enjoy. Great food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere made it a really special night. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Novikov to anyone looking for a great dinner and a fun night out.

    The food here is absolutely excellent, and the service is just as impressive. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but you're in Beverly Hills, and you truly get what you pay for. Every dish feels high quality, and the overall experience is worth it. The truffle pizza is a must order. It's genuinely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The lunch special is also fantastic and offers great value. If you're coming here, you have to get the pasta served in the cheese wheel and add truffle. It's unforgettable. This is the kind of place everyone should experience at least once. The atmosphere, service, and food are all top tier. It will always be one of my go to spots for brunch.

    My friends and I had a wonderful lunch experience here. A beautiful place with elegant decor, beautiful furniture, and nice cutlery - everything here says refined luxury. But the $39 (at this writing) 3-course lunch special was a fantastic deal -- not just the super reasonable price, but the food quality! Since there were five of us, we had almost every combination of their (quite extensive) menu. From appetizers, to main course, to dessert, every item was impressive! Service was impeccable! Our waitress was cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was quite busy when we came but our orders showed up very quickly -- now, a lot of people (from the front line to the back kitchen) had to have work very hard for that to happen! And my hat off to them all. From my foodie friends who had been here many times, most of things on their menu are good, but the seafoods are especially good, which I can attest to based on the salmon tartar, seabass, and other fish we had that day. The desserts were phenomenal! See pictures... The burger-shaped Tiramisu looked great and tasted great. The lemon sorbet was rich but refreshing.... At my foodie friend's recommendation, we order an extra dessert -- the awesome looking and massive Napoleon! If you like to admire your food before you eat it, this one might please you. Overall, a great dining experience and I'm planning more gatherings there as I write....

    Novikov is a luxurious, elegant, impressive experience. When you walk in you'll notice white table cloths, olive trees, a fully decked out bar, a wine cellar, an open kitchen with farmer's market veggies for sale and a cosmopolitan crowd. It has a European feel to it. A place where you don't just eat, you "dine" and where lunch or dinner is an "event". The staff was extremely kind and welcoming. I felt well taken care of. The table we got was just perfect. Exactly what I had asked for when making a reservation. The music was delightful and a good, soft background volume. They played songs in different languages and also an oldie but goodie favorite of mine "Mambo Italiano". I was offered a purse rest for my purse. Such a nice gesture. I did not know such a luxury existed! I love that they offer this feature for the ladies. We came for lunch during a holiday weekend to celebrate a special occasion and the place was packed. We ordered from the three course prix fixe menu which is an excellent deal. I ordered the gazpacho soup which was one of the soups of the day. It was one of three soups that were offered. I ordered it because it had a vegetarian broth. The presentation was beautiful. It was served on a cutting board with a side of garlic bread. I'm so glad I chose this soup. It was delicious! My dining companion got the minestrone soup. It was served in a cast iron dish. A nice presentation. I was told it was also very good! For the main course I got the fish of the day. It was sea bass. It was served butterfly style. The fish was so tasty. I loved how perfectly cooked it was. It flaked when I put my fork on it and melted in my mouth. There was some tasty green sauce lightly drizzled on the side too. A perfect accompaniment to the delicate fish. I noticed a lot of people ordering this dish around me. My dining partner liked the branzino they ordered. For dessert I got the tiramisu and my dining companion got the lemon sorbet. The tiramisu is also a popular choice here. I saw it being carried around to lots of tables. It was soft and flavorful. I love the sweet coffee flavor and the spongy lady fingers. My dining companion's sorbet was also deliciously sour. It was served in a lemon which was a treat for the eyes! Both drastically different desserts. Both excellent. Overall, our visit to Novikov was fantastic! I had never heard of the restaurant before discovering the Beverly Hills location but apparently it is an international brand. I believe the original location is in London. Novikov is the last name of the restauranteur responsible for these restaurants. This is a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion. Also, of note, is that they have a party room in the back. Valet parking, street parking, and free parking lots close by.

    Wow! Third time's a charm. My first visit was for a bridal shower where we rented a private room and had a pre fixed menu, which honestly didn't leave much of an impression. The second time, we stopped in mainly for drinks and appetizers. This visit, however, was all about exploring the menu, and I'm so glad we did. The bruschetta was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. The truffle pasta was easily the star of the show, rich, packed with flavor, and a perfect portion size. The prawns were cooked beautifully, and the sauce elevated the dish even more. For dessert, we ordered the fruit topped specialty, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the evening. What continues to stand out every time is the service. From the busers to the food runners and servers, everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The hospitality here is consistently top notch. The vibe is what initially kept me coming back, but now the food has officially won me over too. Looking forward to returning and working my way through the rest of the menu.

    It seems my 1st review was taken down. That's fine, here is my 2nd review and this time, they didn't turn us away at the door. Of course atmosphere is modern, clean, display of fresh veggies, and seafood. But did they execute? 21 Oz rib eye, ask for medium rare- came out medium well. Didn't bother to send it back. Flavor is good, but not something I would come back for. Langostines, we had them as appetizers. 5 pieces, pretty pricey, but wasn't cooked to correctly. 2/5 were cooked perfectly. The other 3 were mush. Just mush. No flavor, deff not worth $100 Oysters were good. Greek salad was prob the highlight of the meal. Drinks their spicy Paloma tastes like simple syrup. No spice, no citrus taste.

    Atmosphere is chic and modern, bright and clean. Their coffee and cocktails are delicious, they have DJs during the weekend and special events. Our bartender Luigi made this hibiscus cocktail, it is refreshing and crisp with a tart finish! This review is for the bar and cafe, their cocktail menu is nicely curated with wide options. Alcohol here is not watered down, bartenders are helpful with recommendations.

    Valet takes your car the moment you arrive, and from there the experience only gets better. The restaurant is beautifully designed, the live music creates the perfect atmosphere without being too loud, and every dish is thoughtfully balanced. And the Florentine steak? I honestly don't know another place in Los Angeles where I can order one this good. Great food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Let's support America's small businesses!

    Always happy to go to Novikov. It reminds me of Novikov in Moscow always a good vibe, and it makes me miss my city.

    Great tasty dishes! - even the salad was amazing! You can tell it was a simple dressing, yet so fresh and flavorful! Oh and don't get me started on the mushroom pasta- think I inhaled that dish! Drinks were also top notch! Kaz our waiter was so nice and attentive. I wish to request him next time I come back. Really nice decor; although it was pretty loud I understand my party was next to the bar.

    *Novikov Napoleon. The best I've ever had.
    Armen A.

    From the moment we arrived I got a great vibe from the outdoorsy Mediterranean scene. The place was packed with a lot of high end looking people and drinks were flowing and conversations and table side foods being made! We were seated right near the street on the patio. Ordered the eggplant parm tableside, salmon dish, the napoleon and a cappuccino! The service was outstanding! The food tasted great and the energy of the place was awesome. Very expensive and overpriced though. Will def go back on a special occasion!

The restaurant really does feel tucked away once you get inside the Rodeo Collection. The space has warm lighting, colorful details, and a playful Mexican-inspired look that makes dinner feel fun without becoming over-the-top. We started with guacamole and empanadas before moving on to tacos. The Baja Style Fish Tacos were a favorite, with crisp fish, fresh slaw, and chipotle aioli. I also had the Grilled Prime New York Taco, and the steak was cooked really well and stayed tender. With the caramelized onion, guacamole, and salsa fresca, it had plenty of flavor without feeling overloaded. Between those two, we were already very happy with our taco choices, and there wasn't much left on the table by the end. The cocktails were excellent. My friend's drink came served in this ceramic donkey, and we immediately became a little obsessed with it. We loved it enough that the donkey somehow ended up making an appearance in half our photos by the end of the night. Our server checked in throughout dinner and gave us plenty of time to enjoy everything without ever making us feel rushed. We finished with churros, which arrived with dipping sauces and were a very easy decision once dessert was mentioned. They also offer valet, which is especially convenient for a Rodeo Drive dinner. I went in because Instagram kept putting The Hideaway in front of me. For once, my feed was useful. I'd happily come back for the tacos, cocktails, and another round with that donkey making its inevitable cameo.

There were four of us, and the restaurant wasn't very busy,there were plenty of open tables and what seemed like a good amount of staff. When we were first seated, we were given the regular menu. Once we mentioned that we were there for the Girls Brunch, it honestly felt like the demeanor toward our table changed. The service was extremely slow. We waited around 30 minutes between some of the food items, our drinks were forgotten, and we were rarely checked on throughout the meal. I'm usually pretty understanding when restaurants are busy or short-staffed, but that didn't seem to be the case during our visit. Between the long waits, forgotten drinks, and lack of even a simple "How is everything?", the experience became frustrating, especially since we were there to celebrate birthdays. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were mediocre as well, so the overall experience just didn't feel worth the time. I really wanted to enjoy this place and the Girls Brunch seemed like such a fun idea, but based on our experience, I unfortunately won't be returning.

    The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible. Incredible spot in Beverly Hills and more private and tucked away than some of the overly packed tourist destinations.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

    Had dinner here last night, and we spent around $300 (party of 4), so I'd say it's very well…read morepriced. We ordered the pizza, pasta, burrata, and green salad. Overall, nothing was particularly extraordinary, but the drinks were definitely the highlight. I'd skip the pasta and salad, but the burrata and pizza were good. I also really enjoyed the ambiance, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. Overall, a nice spot, but I'd come back more for the atmosphere and drinks than the food.

    Brought my mom here for her birthday and had an okay experience…read more I had requested one of the booths that face outside, however we we were sat at a small table on the side. My mom said when she comes for dinner they always give her a booth, but it seemed like today for brunch they were only for parties of 3+. Martinis (3.5/5): my mom enjoyed her martinis, I thought my espresso martini was just ok. Oysters (4/5): tasty and fresh. Mushroom Pizza (3/5): cooked well, but wasn't very flavorful. BLAT (3/5): fries were good, but the sandwich itself was very basic and didn't have much flavor, could use garlic aioli. Tiramisu (1/5): I love tiramisu and this was the worst one I've ever had, they need to fix the mascarpone cream flavor. Overall this place is just for the vibes, it would be good for happy hour or going for a drink at sunset. Food is very overpriced and wasn't a fan of the automatic 20% gratuity. Our server was great though.

    This is a secret LA experience not to be missed!! Tucked…read moreabove the Tail o'the Pup hot dog restaurant, this place is a treasure of a tiki hideaway waiting to be discovered. The secret entrance is a ton of fun and the ambience is dark and mysterious and transports you to a land far away, all while not leaving LA. The drinks are spectacularly delicious and innovative. There is a theme (and entire experience) to each drink. The food is likewise excellent. The hot dogs from Tail o'the Pup are some of the best in the city and you can order directly from the downstairs hot spot, or order from the tailored menu to fit the tiki theme. The wait staff was super attentive. This is a great date spot or somewhere to come with friends. Just remember to book your reservations on Resy and then check the website for knowledge on how to get into the secret entrance. This is a top experience in LA!

    TIKI DAVE had the opportunity to FINALLY hit The Lucky Tiki last night and boy was he impressed!…read more TIKI DAVE and WIFE OF TIKI DAVE pre-gamed a very good friend's 50th birthday at The Lucky Tiki from 5:30 - 7:00pm last night. Reservations are a must. Who doesn't love a Speakeasy and the Pickle Barrel entrance at the Tail 'o the Pup with the buzzer in the barrel was a cute touch. Once you're allowed entry, you are immediately transported to another world via beautifully decorated stairs to the check-in desk. The decor has got to be one of the best looking tiki bars out there. Wow, they hit this out of the park. The drink and food menu is fantastic in a wood covered binder. Naturally, we ordered the standard Mai Tai to start. The Lucky Tiki's take on the traditional 1944 Trader Vic Mai Tai is fantastic. Each Mai Tai comes with the Lucky Tiki swizzle stick and I happily kept the 3 we ordered to display in our home Tiki Bar. The wife ordered a second one while I took the waitress' recommendation and ordered The Maverick ("A Renegade of Rums, Cinnamon Syrup, White Grapefruit & Lime Juice, A Bold, Fiery, and Unapologetically Wild Ride, This Cocktail is for Those Who Live By Their Own Rules")...and coincidentally, this applies to me perfectly. The Maverick was awesome and came complete with a show of fire. We also ordered the Potstickers which were fantastic, especially dipped in their garlic teriyaki sauce. Wow! I wished we lived closer because I would hit this place A LOT. TIKI DAVE highly highly highly recommends THE LUCKY TIKI! I will be uploading video to my YouTube channel soon!

    dineLA experience 2 of 3…read more So far, the best bang for your buck. They really give you all the foods. The dineLA menu is good for 2 people. Those 2 people both get the following: bone broth- wow. Loved it Steak Tartare - so much, we couldn't finish braised beef cheek - practically melted like butter 3 oz filet with salad - by the time this came we thought they were playing. It felt like a proper entree, but there was more meat coming. We then shared an 11 oz ribeye w/ grilled broccolini and ended with the chocolate cake. In conclusion, we got so much food. We ended up with a bit of leftovers which worked out perfectly for me the following day. Their garlic bread was also so good. Great service and delicious food. It's been some time since I've eaten that much red meat.

    I'm going to be the 10th dentist here and lead with the fact that I think the cheesesteak is…read moreincredibly overrated. I can confidently say I'll never order it again. Now, let me explain. We came to Matū for the Dinner for Two, and everything we were served was impeccable. The seasoning was spot on, the salt level was perfect, and every cut of meat was cooked beautifully. I'm a big fan of my steak on the rarer side, and Matū absolutely delivered. The braised beef cheek was probably the highlight of the night for me. It was unbelievably tender, rich, and one of the most memorable bites of the meal. After finishing the Dinner for Two, which really showcased the quality of the meat, we decided to split a cheesesteak since "that's what they're known for." When it arrived, it looked incredible. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for me. The meat tasted oddly oily. I'm not sure if it was the cut, the preparation, or even the cheese, but it came across as heavy and greasy compared to the beautifully simple, clean flavors of the steak dinner. It was also underseasoned, and I found myself tasting the sesame seeds on the bread more than the filling itself. The chips were fresh and crunchy at first, but they lost their texture surprisingly quickly, so eat those immediately. Overall, I absolutely loved the steaks, sides, and cocktails, and I'll happily be back for those. But as for the cheesesteak? Once was more than enough.

    Where do all the locals go? Well, the Bar Next Door is a great place! Nice, clean and…read morefriendly... Their craft cocktail menu is extensive, interesting and delicious. The restrooms are clean and cute Parking is slim to none! What do you expect? It's on the Sunset Strip. I can't speak to the food as we stopped in for a quick beverage before heading down the road for our dinner... But what they were serving to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. It's small. Grab a seat at the bar (which is really about it...) and start your journey to the craft cocktails with one of their friendly staff and bartenders. Be there or be square

    The whole mythology of this place being a "neighborhood gem" is officially dead. Whatever charm it…read moreonce had has completely evaporated. What's left is a joyless little room with indifferent management and service that can feel actively hostile. It can get very crowded, but... The energy is just off. It no longer feels warm or welcoming, and the type of crowd it attracts now can make the cramped space feel actually menacing. The staff also becomes strangely abrasive and aloof. Especially the younger male bartender who works on Fridays. I would never go again. Even trying to order another drink somehow feels like you're inconveniencing them. It's genuinely sad how they've managed to ruin what used to be a good thing. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this place when you could go to Cecconi's, the Tower Bar, Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis, Jones Hollywood, Laurel Hardware, Ysabel, the Roger Room, On the Rox, or Mic's instead. The name a few! Any one of them will give you a better room, a better atmosphere, and a much better evening. TBH, I would rather endure the mechanical-bull chaos of Saddle Ranch than spend another night dealing with the bizarre vibe here. That alone should tell you everything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
