    Cute brunch spot at Beverly Hills ! Higher price point due to location but we were about to get the DinaLa lunch special for $45 each person ( 3 courses ). It's a nice meet up for the girls and then you can go shop around after ! Oh and free desert for birthday :)

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently do have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: They only have valet parking here. Valet parking is $15 not including tip. Apparently during peak business hours or during the holidays, they will jack up the prices for valet parking. You have been warned! The best part about solo dining is eating whatever the hell I want without any judgement or pushbacks from other people. And I could eat at my own pace and people watch. Food and Drinks: At the bar, I ordered their famous berries and bubbles cocktail. It is famously crafted with a mix of citrus-infused vodka, fresh lemon juice, marinated blackberries, and a splash of brut, topped with dry ice to create a billowing, theatrical smoke effect. This drink was incredibly fruity and refreshing. The perfect alcoholic beverage for the summer. When I finally got my own table, I ordered their famous jumbo lump crab cake, lobster bisque, and caviar as my three appetizers. The jumbo lump crab cake is a signature appetizer here at Ocean Prime. I like their generous portion of premium crab meat and its elegant presentation. It is served alongside a sweet and sour slaw and a zesty horseradish mustard aioli. The crab cake was very tender and sweet. It balances the richness of the crab with the bright, slightly spicy kick of the aioli. It was baked to perfection. The lobster bisque was so yummy and creamy. It is a rich, velvety soup made with tender lobster meat and a flavorful broth. I like that they have generous, tender pieces of butter-poached Maine lobster in the soup. Ah yes. The Sturgeon caviar. Yes, I am a fancy and extra woman, and I have extremely expensive taste in food. I love me some artisanal caviar. Yum! Anyways, this wasn't on their menu, and I had to special request this. Caviar served on mini pancakes?!?! Say less! I loved how fluffy and soft the mini pancakes were. The caviar had a luxurious, buttery texture. It also had a subtle briny flavor. I found that the caviar bursts on the palate rather than tasting overly fishy. Honestly, putting the caviar on top of the sweet mini pancakes was brilliant because the mini pancakes acted as a neutral canvas so the distinct briny taste of the caviar could shine through. Moreover, I ordered the lobster linguine and sea scallops. The lobster linguine is a popular seafood entrée featuring fresh al dente cooked linguine tossed with succulent lobster meat, roasted tomato butter, arugula, chili flakes, and freshly grated parmesan. Btw, I hate arugula, so I asked the staff to remove it from this dish. Flavor wise, this dish had a delicate balance of rich roasted tomato butter and a kick of spice from chili flakes. I'm a sucker for all things pasta, so this dish hit the spot and satisfied my pasta craving. The sea scallops were fire!!! The jumbo sea scallops were perfectly seared to a golden brown, moist, and tender. The sea scallops were severed on a bed of lobster risotto. The lobster risotto was very rich and creamy. They used a rich Arborio rice cooked with chunks of melt in your mouth lobster, roasted tomatoes, and a savory shellfish. This dish won my heart. And finally, for desserts, I ordered their famous 10 layer carrot cake and creme brûlée. Now, normally, I hate carrot cakes, but since this was highly recommended, I decided to give this a shot. Needless to say, I still hate carrot cake, but I could appreciate this restaurant's take on this dessert. The cake itself was very moist and tasted spicy due to the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This dessert is layered with lots of cheese icing and pineapple syrup. I found the cream cheese icing and whipped cream to be extremely delectable, but that's about it. The creme brûlée is a classic and indulgent dessert featuring a rich, velvety vanilla custard, a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar crust, and fresh seasonal berries. I loved the warm and crunchy top, and I truly enjoyed the rich, vanilla-scented custard. Staff: The staff here are very welcoming, attentive, and chill. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    Came here on a holiday and the place was packed which says a lot since this is a very big space. There's a lovely outdoor terrace, two bar areas, and a more formal dining room. We got the blackberry club cocktail. It has zero proof gin, muddle blackberries, lime, and simple syrup. It is alcohol free, delicious, and absolutely gorgeous. All their cocktails look impressive actually. For our meal we got the Teriyaki salmon which is our go-to. It has shiitake sticky rice and a soy butter sauce. It's always delicious! We also got the chilean sea bass which comes on a potato puree with a truffle vinaigrette, pearl onions and broccolini. It was good. Of the two, the salmon is still my favorite. For dessert we got the warm butter cake. It comes with ice cream. It's definitely big enough to share. It melts in your mouth. Highly suggest. Valet parking or parking on the street. Also of note: private party rooms available and prix fix lunch menu

    The restaurant has an elegant and relaxing atmosphere, and the location in Beverly Hills makes the whole experience feel special. I especially liked that the Dine LA lunch menu was only $35, which made it easy to enjoy a fine-dining experience without spending too much.

    Had an intimate birthday dinner here with a friend for myself.. The ambiance is very business casual, not to be confused with trendy. Our steak was sub par, our sushi roll was falling apart, our coffee was served cold. It took 45 minutes to get our drinks. I asked to have my coffee remade and after a nearly $400+ bill the server disappeared. Truly unfortunate! I love Ocean Prime and their other locations are amazing! However, this particular location was horrible. I was pretty embarrassed for suggesting Ocean Prime when I've had such a great experience at other locations. It's a hard pass! There are MUCH better high end steakhouses and eateries in the area to give your money to. Cheers to consistency and quality Yelpers! xx

    I had a small post wedding dinner here and the room they put us all in was lovely. The ambiance was nice. Our server was super attentive and helped us in every which way we needed. The food was not as memorable as the service, but I still had a nice time here. Thank you :)

    Ambience is absolutely gorgeous, the outdoor patio area is open and luxurious and a great mix of sunshine and lounging. Went today to check out the bar/patio area, and I love the vibes. Same upscale experience with staff left and right taking plates, giving new utensils, refilling water, checking on you, etc, but with the rejuvenating sun. As usual, the NY strip and house salad and bread is to die for. Tried the chocolate peanut butter pie and it is incredible. I wouldn't really describe it as a pie, more of a soft peanut butter filling with a dark chocolate soft ganache on outside. Filling is not a cream, but not cake-y, sort of in between. With an oreo-like crust. Not too sweet and balanced.

    We came for a birthday dinner not knowing they had some Dine LA specials for $65 (the only steak option was a filet for $80). The ribeye steak was pretty decent - a little bit undercooked for a medium rare, but still overall pretty decent. The jalapeño gratin was good. The deviled eggs were delicious, although there isn't enough caviar to taste it (expected given the price). The calamari was very sweet. The house salad was plain. The Gouda tots were undercooked. The truffle Mac and cheese had an excellent flavor but the sauce was a bit gritty, not smooth. The warm butter cake was insanely dry and flavorless. Definitely pass on that. The carrot cake was better, but still dense and dry. I'll preface the rest of this review by saying I'm not really one to send food back or really even say anything about the food if it's palatable. I'll typically just eat the food and not come back. The sea bass on the Dine LA menu was absolutely horrendous and underseasoned. It genuinely didn't even taste like it was salted. I ended up asking for a bearnaise sauce to make it edible. It still wasn't great. We felt our server give us some attitude at the beginning of the meal, but it did get better later on. She gave us a daily special, which included wagyu, and I asked her if it was American wagyu, Australian wagyu, or Japanese wagyu, and she didn't know... strange to not tell your servers at a steakhouse which one it is. Overall, it wasn't all bad, but we spent $620 at the restaurant. It isn't worth coming back.

    Ocean Prime is one of those places that never misses. I've been coming here for years and it's still one of my go-to's for a special night out. They also recently opened a Las Vegas location on the Strip..I've been to both, and honestly... fantastic every single time. Vibe/Service: Always on point. The service is consistently great, the location is perfect, and the whole place has a polished but fun energy. There's indoor + outdoor seating, and it's a great spot whether you're celebrating, on a date, or bringing friends from out of town. Parking: You can do street parking if you get lucky, but valet is the easiest. Private Dining: We've used their private dining before too and it was an amazing experience..super smooth and elevated, perfect for a group. Drinks: Full bar and their cocktails are incredible. Also..their espresso martini is one of the best I've had. Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. As you can probably tell from my photos... I've tried a LOT of the menu Here are some favorites: Sushi / Raw Bar: Ocean Roll + Spicy Tuna Roll Nigiri (honestly all of it) Hamachi crudo..melt-in-your-mouth good Mains / Sides: Goat cheese ravioli (so flavorful and creamy) Surf & turf Au gratin potatoes And truly... all their steak options are amazing Dessert (do not skip): Butter cake..a MUST. Soooo good. Both chocolate cakes are delicious (the flourless one is richer/denser) Carrot cake and crème brûlée are also fantastic Overall: if you're looking for a place with top-tier service, unreal food, great drinks, and a classy vibe, Ocean Prime is it. Worth it every time.

    I'm a bit of a Mastros loyalist. I have visited several different restaurants and they are all pretty reliable for great service. Food was good as usual and servers were super courteous. Only thing I would say is mid is that the bar room has large windows that open up to the sidewalk. In the two hours we were there saw plenty of interesting people and incidences passing across the windows, haha. Again, not a big deal, I'll definitely be back!

    Celebrated our anniversary at Ocean Prime & it was definitely one for the books! The service is so attentive, and I really liked how lively it can get inside the dining area. It provides both an elevated fine dining experience & relaxing vibe. We started with drinks - espresso martini (black) and pineapple picante. Never knew that you could order a black espresso martini lol! I'm a changed woman for life now. It was sweet, and not bitter for me at all. The pineapple picante definitely packed a bit of spice, was also very yummy. For food, we had the parmesan truffle fries, bread basket, dynamite roll, sea scallops and NY strip. The dynamite roll was a nice contrast from the rest of the meal, really great quality shrimp. The fries were stupidly good, could not stop munching on them. We ordered the bread a little later into the service, which I wish we would have done sooner so that it could accompany most of the meal. It did take a while for it to come out. The entrees were my favorite. I always try to order a plate that I cannot cook myself, and this one knocked it out of the park. The scallops were all perfectly seared, and the little salad on top made each bite so well balanced. The steak is crusted I believe in a sort of peppercorn rub, and the inside was cooked to a perfect medium rare. I'd love to return someday soon, its hard to find a restaurant where absolutely everything ordered is tasty - and this one delivered exactly that. Thank you to the staff for making our anniversary dinner special. It was truly an amazing experience.

    The restaurant delivers an experience that builds from the moment you walk in. The hostess at the entrance sets the tone, and the staff immediately makes you feel welcome, genuinely attentive. The seafood selection is outstanding. The Chilean sea bass is exceptional, perfectly prepared. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, and the butter cake, well it was outstanding, the perfect finish to the meal. From start to finish, the service is top tier, and the energy of the room feels celebratory, elevated by a DJ spinning great jams that added to the vibe without overpowering the experience. A great night that continues to build throughout the evening and a perfect way to ring in the New Year.

    I've really enjoyed Ocean Prime every time I've been! I am a big fan of steakhouses and in LA, the best are in Beverly Hills. Ocean Prime is no exception. The restaurant has a great ambience: wooden decor, mood lighting, and a cool entryway with a winding pathway into the restaurant. The waiters are very attentive and super friendly. They don't make you feel rushed and they seem knowledgeable about the menu items. I got their 8 oz filet - classic. The meat tasted high quality and I appreciated that the steak came out nice and hot. I've also tried their Teriyaki Salmon Entree with Shiitake sticky rice and a soy butter sauce. That soy butter sauce is truly amazing; it's the perfect combo of salty, sweet, and umami flavors. The salmon itself is perfectly cooked on the inside and crispy seared on the outside. The shiitake mushrooms also give it a nice depth of flavor. I feel they should also be celebrated for their desserts. Their chocolate peanut butter cake is just so decadent, with a thick layer of peanut butter mouse, coated in a dark chocolate ganache. But it was their 10-Layer carrot cake that really impressed me. The cake is so moist, not too sweet, and layered with the creamiest cream cheese icing. As if this wasn't enough already, it gets topped with a sweet, zingy pineapple sauce that really complements the cake well. I very much enjoy coming here and would highly recommend it for a celebratory dinner like a birthday or anniversary.

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 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.

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.

    A great fusion establishment with a mixture of espresso drinks, cocktails, and other refreshments…read moreavailable with a mixture of Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian bites, both large and small, all sharable and very fresh and well-presented. My friend and I were a bit boozed out from the night before, so we stuck with a handful of sharable platters including California rolls and ceviche, all tasted amazing. Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

    The restaurant itself is very cute, but the menu is a bit all over the place--sushi, Latin dishes,…read moreand pasta. We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

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.

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.

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.

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.
