Novikov - Mediterranean Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

To sum it up...Food was really good. Extremely overpriced, even for 2026 but delicious. Our server Kaz was great, even though he disappeared for a while towards the end and the bus boy was picking up a lot of the slack. The manager was walking around approaching tables and checking in, which was nice. Service overall was great. We were there for a while. After an hour we all looked at eavh other and realized that there was something wrong with this restaurant. Bunch of women, especially Eastern European women, in the bathroom, waiting around for men. One of the girls was on the phone, in the bathroom, talking to someone and telling them that "she didn't see any potentials and that it was still early" Super bizarre. We couldn't even wash our hands because they were all congregating in the bathroom waiting. You have to see it to believe it. Typical LA women with overfilled lips coming to get you and bbls that look hideous and extremely desperate and you know why they're there. These two girls got up to leave and these two men with wedding rings approached them and pulled them to the bar. Around 11pm, it got super busy by the bar. Bunch older men in their 60s at the bar flirting with younger women. It was so obvious that noticed all this while walking out. It was gross to watch but nothing new. Some married guy next to us dining with his family, kept looking at us the entire time we were eating dinner. It was hard to miss, since the tables were pretty close. At some point he looked and started winking. It was bizarre. Did they know something that we didn't. Some clown brought their security guard just to have dinner and was on his phone the whole time. We had no idea who he was. It felt like we were in the twilight zone. While back dining across the street on the balcony of Mastros, I watched all the activities that were going on. I had a feeling this was that kind of a place, but I didn't realize it was this bad. We came we tried had a great time, but that's it no more. If you are looking for fun for the night, If you know what I mean, you could go here. Enjoy. read more

One of the best cacio e pepe dishes I've had in the U.S. I loved the table side cheese-wheel presentation--you can never go wrong with extra cheese. For the $100 price tag, I expected a bit more truffle, but hey it wasn't a dealbreaker. The oysters were delicious, and overall, our party really enjoyed the food. Dessert was also quite tasty. Our server, Ben, was warm, knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. However, the service experience overall felt disjointed. There were plenty of staff members floating around, but it didn't feel as though anyone was truly attentive to the table. Water was rarely refilled unless I asked, and one plate we needed for lobster shells arrived well after it was useful--silently dropped off, then picked up by someone else just minutes later. Overall, the atmosphere and service had a somewhat clubby feel, more like a high-end tourist destination in Ibiza or Mykonos than a polished, truly upscale dining experience. One especially awkward detail- at the beginning of the meal they take photographs and later offer them for purchase at $25 a pop in shiny gold frames. It felt extremely odd and just so out of place. The idea could have been a sweet, memorable touch if handled differently-- perhaps as a cute and simple, unframed photograph rather than a $25 keepsake in a shiny frame. A genuinely high-end restaurant would never. All in all, it's a decent place and may be worth trying once, but don't go in expecting a flawlessly refined dining experience. read more

Good overall but not elite level. The biggest issue is they try to sell you photographs. Very very very tacky. Many nice restaurants have a little gift for customers at the end. It is the sign of good service and create a great memory leaving. To leave an ostensibly nice restaurant and have them try to sell you photos is very low class. They would give you the photo - and would have they be "their thing" that customers remember. Instead they treat it like hustler at a tourist strip. But food is good and service is friendly but spotty. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is great all around. I especially love the napoleon dessert. You don't find that a lot of places and the one here is especially good! I enjoy it with black tea or a dry white wine. I like that there's a lot of table space in this restaurant and you can sit at the bar so even when it's super crowded you can still manage to get a place. I've been here during the week mid day and on weekend nights and somehow it's ALWAYS bursting at the seams which is fine if you're looking for somewhere lively. The crowd is mostly middle aged. I give this place a thumbs up read more

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.... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

Novikov - Mediterranean Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Visited recently and had a fantastic experience. I had been to Novikov in Miami before and loved it, so I was curious to see how the Beverly Hills location would compare. It definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere is upscale, glamorous, and a little bit over-the-top in the best way. It feels luxurious but still fun and energetic. By around 9pm a DJ came out and the entire restaurant turned into a lively party scene. The place was completely packed and the vibe was incredible. The food was excellent across the board. The $100 ribeye was absolutely flawless, perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The black truffle risotto was rich and creamy, and the asparagus added the perfect texture to balance the dish. The wagyu bolognese was also fantastic. The sauce was deep, rich, and perfectly executed. And the tiramisu? As legendary as its reputation, every bite completely lived up to the hype. Great food, beautiful space, and an amazing atmosphere. If you're looking for a high-end dinner that turns into a fun night out, Novikov Beverly Hills absolutely delivers read more

We had a really nice time here! The place itself was beautiful, clean, and had a great atmosphere. The music was really good, although it was a little too loud and sometimes made it hard to talk to each other. We were a group of four, but overall, it didn't take away from the experience. The food was really delicious, especially the risotto and pasta both were so good! The staff was very friendly and the service was great. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back read more

This was my place to splurge but I feel that every time I went it became more disappointing. The dinners are definitely better with more choice. Ambience is also cooler at night.

Had a fantastic lunch at Novikov Beverly Hills recently. It's was just as perfect for a solo lunch as it would be for a big group celebration. We were a big group and the $39 pre fix menu was great! The menu options for lunch are excellent. The fish was incredibly fresh and prepared perfectly and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a solid kids' menu, which you don't always find. We sat in the indoor/outdoor area which has a great vibe and flow to it. Our server, Luis, was a huge part of the experience; he was so helpful, attentive, and really knew the menu well. Also, a logistical win: parking in BH can be a nightmare, but there is a public lot right next door with plenty of space. Overall a seamless, high-quality experience.

Dinner at Novikov Beverly Hills felt like a very elegant evening without being too formal.

What a stunning and memorable evening. It's rather cozy (see: cramped) inside, but that's okay. It's absolutely worth the slight inconvenience. There's tables and a bar area to choose from. The atmosphere is vibrant and there's a mix of large groups and couples. We came with a reservation and waited about 15 minutes for our table. They were apologetic, though we had grabbed drinks at the bar and didn't mind the delay. I was a big fan of my espresso martini! We had a gluten allergy at the table, which they took seriously - I've learned that cross-contamination can happen very easily, but they seemed comfortable navigating accommodations and adjustments. I would recommend just about everything we ordered: the filling and satisfying Tagliatelle Bolognese, the delectable Seabass Fillet, and the fresh Beef Carpaccio. We shared everything, though I could have easily enjoyed the pasta all to myself. :) Service was efficient and polite, despite the hustle and bustle of the evening. Our server maintained a calm demeanor, but was present and considerate. Prices are on the higher end, which is to be expected of this area and the quality of the dishes. Great option for a special date night, a friend's birthday, a graduation dinner, or just girls night. I will be back for more! read more

I had to go ask the front host to check on my food the waiter didn't even check on me ..by the time the salmon came out it was delicious but the experience ruined it I just wanted to get out of here to even enjoy I didn't have any water since the bread and after he took the plate he offered me water..

The service was excellent. The bartender knew how to make drinks. It was the first time that my wife didn't send back her skinny margarita. I ordered the oven-baked chicken and it was delicious. The soups were okay. My wife had a pale minestrone. It was kind bland. Lemon juice and salt was a must. Borscht soup was decent. It needed more cabbage. The pumpernickel bread was decent a bit too sweet. Over all you go for the experience. That said, it was a bit pricy. read more
