    Truffle pizza
    Jill R.

    Just wow! This experience was everything and more. I took my son to LA for his graduation trip. I wanted to have the experience of a lifetime including dinner at a fancy restaurant. I decided on Spago with hopes of an exceptional meal and the possibility of seeing someone famous. We arrived and were greeted promptly with a great table. The service was impeccable. We started with the bread basket. My son ordered the truffle pizza. I ordered the squid ink pasta with lobster. For dessert we ordered the box of chocolates. We were surprised that we were brought two chocolate chip cookies to celebrate graduation! As we were waiting outside for our valet, I saw paparazzi. Lo and behold, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kris' mom hopped out of the vehicle they were riding in. Pretty exciting all around and the hopes I had for our evening all came true!

    It was my first time here and I came here for my birthday. I never heard of this restaurant. I looked on ig, yelp; and the website and it was literally right up my alley. Fancy restaurant and great quality pictures....they give me Europe vibes. Conrad, the host was so professional and very inviting. We got set right away. The only thing I was a little bummed about was that the menu online isn't the menu they have in person. The host let me know if there was something wrong with the website. It was limited options, but I do like they have an amuse bouche tasting course and then in all the cart side. I started with the truffle fries, which are absolutely delicious and then I got the 36 ounce steak. These are big juicy pieces and they cut it for you table side. I love the wine sauce it comes with. I also got the cannoli caviar and something about me is that I love caviar. This place is definitely expensive taste I think we spent almost $1000 here. We each got two cocktails and then a tequila chilled shot. I got the Hanuto and he got Pinot. The valet was also nice gentlemen as only $20 I believe. The dark soufflé was pretty good, but I was hoping for something more dense however, the chocolate candies at the bottom was so tasty and a good crunch. They also have a hidden menu with Margarita pizza, tuna cones, cheesey potato, and more... oh and steak that came with cheese potatoes and they were a little too cheesy for me, but it was an experience to see a big cheese pull

    Spago Beverly Hills is truly a legend -- timeless, iconic, and still living up to its reputation. I loved everything about this dinner: the plating, the ingredients, the atmosphere, and especially the pastas. Everything felt beautifully executed and just very, very perfect. The service was 10/10 -- polished, attentive, and effortless. The crowd also has a beautiful Beverly Hills energy. Less influencer-driven, more elegant, loyal, repeat-customer kind of feel. I probably come to Spago twice a year, and it always feels special. This time, I brought friends visiting from Shanghai, and the evening became even more memorable when Chef Wolfgang Puck happened to chat with us and talked about his restaurant in Shanghai on the Bund. Such a pleasant and personal moment. Thank you, Spago, for another beautiful dinner.

    Spago is one of those iconic Beverly Hills restaurants that still holds up as a great dining experience, even if it's evolved over the years. It has that classic Wolfgang Puck energy and a dining room that still feels special, with a steady mix of regulars and longtime fans. I usually start with the bread box, but it seems like when I dine there most people start the meal with the pizza and scones along with the bread box. The bread box is warm and simple in the best way, and the scones are light, buttery, and one of those signature touches that people always seem to order right away. It all sets a strong tone for the table. For pizza, the salmon pizza is really the signature and what the restaurant is most known for. It's delicate, flavorful, and very well balanced, and it stands out as one of the more unique items on the menu. The vegetarian pizzas are also a great option, especially with white or black truffle, which add a richer aroma and depth without feeling too heavy. They also offer a tasting menu, which the restaurant is known for, but it is very extensive and more of a long, multi-course experience than something I usually go for. For entrées, I'm usually between the pasta dishes and the Jidori chicken. Both are consistently well executed and reliable, and it really just comes down to what I feel like that night. One thing that really drives me a little crazy here though is when the waiter says not to order the same entrée as your date. It's something I've heard on multiple occasions and I honestly still don't really get it. It feels unnecessary because at the end of the day, I just want to order what I want to eat. Parking is always easy and convenient with street parking, nearby parking structures, or valet all available and simple to use. For dessert, the chocolate soufflé is a must, and the cookies are also really good. If you don't order dessert, on some occasions they will even send something complimentary to go, which is a really nice touch. The restaurant overall still has a strong presence, a loyal crowd, and a level of hospitality that feels polished but welcoming. It's not unusual to see Wolfgang Puck or Barbara around the room greeting guests, which adds to the experience. The only real downside has been occasional overbooking, including one instance with a long wait past reservation time, but that has been rare. Overall, it remains a polished, classic Beverly Hills dining experience with a few signature dishes that still make it worth visiting. Cool fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger is a long time patron.

    Beautiful restaurant! Great server- shoutout to our busboy he was so sweet. Caviar cannoli worth the hype. Singaporean sea bass was really good- fried but not heavy. The dessert was this super light and airy meringue with some ice cream.

    My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here at Spago. I made reservations just to be safe and were seated right away. The service was amazing !!! The food exceptional and the best part was meeting chef Wolfgang Puck. Wow Wow Wow ... he is so friendly, took a picture with us and thanked us for being here. Everything we ordered was amazing. The salmon pizza is a must and the pastas were flavorful and tasteful. The Caesar salad was perfectly made so was the branzino fish. Amazing surprise dessert for us to celebrate What a great experience for us, loved every minute of it. Will be back again for sure for another beautiful dinner....

    We tried the Innovation Menu at Spago Beverly Hills, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The restaurant itself is beautiful--elegant yet welcoming--and perfectly situated in the heart of Beverly Hills. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. We dined with our 6-month-old baby, and he went above and beyond to make sure our baby was comfortable, even bringing over a chair so we could safely place the car seat. We ordered the 10-course tasting menu, which made for a long and leisurely dinner. The staff was so accommodating to our family--they even prepared simple pasta and kids' food for our boys to keep them happy and occupied, which we really appreciated. As for the food--everything was outstanding. Highlights included the Dungeness crab, the smoked burrata ravioli, Alaskan halibut, Wolfe Ranch quail, and the braised Angus short rib. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Spago truly delivers not only on fine dining but also on hospitality. It's rare to find a Michelin-level restaurant that is also so family-friendly. We felt genuinely taken care of and would absolutely return.

    I have been meaning to write a review for some time now... This restaurant has always been very consistent with their serve and their excellent food. The ambiance is beautiful and classy. Definitely a culinary experience. I usually always leave with some sort of upset stomach when I go out to dinner, it never fails! But, this place, the quality and the attention to everyone's dietary restriction, they take it to the next level. Normally when going into a restaurant, they hate to "accommodate" or a lot of the times you will hear or read "no substitution". Only if you have a serious allergy of some sort of medical will they modify, and when they do modify, the food is either bland or not even worth eating at all... Kudos for your superb customer service! Thank you for the memorable meal! (I have gluten and diary intolerant). The food is phenomenal in every way, the only thing I would change is the entrees, it's so rich maybe suggest or pair with some sort of acidic sides to cut some of the richness. Food: Appetizers: *Gluten free brioche - amazing! Can't tell it was gluten free. The only complaint, it was a little burnt. *Kenter Canyon Farms Winter Chicories- wow, great salad. * Japanese "Buri" Yellowtail Sashimi*- very fresh and very tasty * Charred Cara Cara Orange- wow, you would never think orange is a good paring but it's execution of utilizing seasonal fruit like orange compared to the original melon combo, real burst of freshness and different way of eating something so simple as prosciutto. *salad *duck - not my favorite dish but still very good- suggested temp medium rare (a bit on the cold side and tough when cooked so rare) Entrees - *Italian White Truffles Tagliatelle Pasta - this was good but for the price, I would say on the smaller side and very little truffles. It was very rich and 1 of our favorites. (Still we prefer Ill Pisatio's truffle tagliatello with their generous portion of truffles and table side parmesan wheel drunken pastas before serving. Fresh pasta and imported Italian "00" flour for those who are not celiac, gluten intolerant, can ingest this pasta) *Crispy Scale Black Sea Bass*- wow, love how they crisp the skin! My kid's favorite! Very delicate morsel with rich burst of flavors in your mouth. * Snake River Farms American Wagyu New York Striploin*- rich, melt in your mouth steak. Very close to Japanese Wagyu steak. The best part of the dinner. It was so rich that you can only really have a few slices. This could have been paired with something vinegary to help cut the richness... Dessert: *coconut sorbet - the best creamiest sorbet I have ever tasted. I first wasn't going to order this.., thinking "another sorbet..." but no, this is the best sorbet I have ever tasted. Get it! *basque cheesecake - very creamy cheese cake. It was good but nothing super special... Will be back soon! Worth the long drive to dinner.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Just wow from start to finish. This place was on my bucket list for my first trip to California and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable. The bar and dining areas ( we sat in the garden area) are beautiful. The apps were incredible and i enjoyed every second. Worth every penny. TY Spago for making my trip ! We had such a pleasant time and were present I did not get food pics LOl but trust me!

    Memorable birthday dinner with amazing food and standout service energy I went to Spago Beverly Hills for a late birthday dinner, and overall it was a wonderful experience. I'd had a long work day and honestly wasn't even in the mood to go out, but our main server (an older gentleman -- I wish I remembered his name!) truly turned the night around. His energy was warm, genuine, and made the experience feel special from start to finish. He even brought me a small taster to start, such a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. The food: We started with the tuna tartare cones, which were perfectly crisp, light, and full of fresh ginger flavor. The corn agnolotti pasta was next-level: super fresh, silky handmade noodles with a beautiful sage brown butter sauce. I ordered the duck breast, which was cooked perfectly tender and juicy, though I personally found the sauce a little too smoky and overpowering. I would've loved a touch of sweetness or brightness to balance it out, but the duck itself was fantastic and a generous portion. My partner ordered the Jidori chicken, and it was equally delicious! juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Drinks & atmosphere: I ordered an old fashioned the flavor was great, though it wasn't as spirit-forward as I expected. Still tasty, just a bit lighter than usual. The overall vibe of the restaurant was elegant but relaxed you definitely feel the legacy and attention to detail that Wolfgang Puck restaurants are known for. Service notes: While the first gentleman who greeted and served us set an amazing tone , very personable, warm, and professional...the energy shifted a bit later in the night when our main server changed over. The new server felt a little disengaged and dry, and while I appreciated him bringing out the birthday card, he asked me to spell my name and still spelled it completely wrong. It wasn't a big deal, but small details like that do matter, especially when it's a birthday celebration at such a well-known restaurant. Even so, I left happy, full, and grateful for the experience. The food, presentation, and hospitality made it a memorable evening. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

    Elevated ambience, excellent service , delicious food! All you have to know about this place that is 100 out of 10. It's not just fancy, it's classy , it's when you want to have a nice dinner with no rush and truly enjoy the atmosphere. I think I've tried the most of the menu and there is not even one thing that disappointed me.

    LYCHEE ROSE cocktail and watermelon MOCKTAIL  KAISERSCMARRN dessert
    Marilyn G.

    Had dinner here in SPAGO BEVERLY HILLS with my Husband and Son. We came in time for our reservation. At first we wanted to back-out 'coz we saw a lot of empty tables, but I'm glad we stayed 'coz omg the whole Place filled up so fast for dinner time! We were seated at a beautiful and comfy spot of the restaurant, we can see the entire room from where we were seated and we could also see a big Glass that where we could see the Kitchen and we can see how busy they were preparing foods. Our server came right away, guided us through the menu and we had: * AMUSE BOUCHE *LYCHEE ROSE COCTAIL *MOCKTAIL for my SON (Watermelon) *BREAD BOX *3 TUNA CONES *HOUSE CURED SMOKE SALMON PIZZA *BRIGANTI PASTA * JIDORI CHICKEN *LIBERTY FARMS BREAST *KAISERSCHMARRN dessert For our APPETIZER I ordered 3 TUNA CONES and their BREAD BOX. The TUNA CONES were so good and freshly made, very flavorful. The Bread box is worth getting, the portions were a lot and it was very filling. I also ordered their Famous SMOKE SALMON PIZZA, surprisingly this is not listed on their menu and I don't know why, the reason I know about the pizza 'coz I read the Reviews saying that this is a special order that you need to tell your server that you want this Pizza and I read that this is a must try. So I did order it and we didn't get disappointed, the Pizza dough is cooked to perfection, and the Salmon is very high quality, it's so good, I really love this pizza! Get this Smoked Salmon pizza when you visit this restaurant. For our Main Dishes lets start with my son's food, he had the BRIGANTI PASTA which has MAINE LOBSTER, cippolini, preserved meyer lemon, and basil, my Son said this was a delicious pasta with a generous amount of Lobsters. My dish is the JIDORI CHICKEN, this also came with a good portion, it's tender and I love the chanterelle mushroom and goat cheese in this, simple and delicious. My Husband had the LIBERTY FARM BREAST. It looks tiny in the picture, but they are really filling, tender, juicy, and delicious. It had a Savory Cabbage, Fuyu persimmon, Gochujang, with a blood orange reduction. For my drink I had the LYCHEE ROSE COCKTAIL, it came with a beautiful Flower glass and this drink is very smooth and delicious. I was already so full, so I just ordered KAISESCHMARRN For Dessert, this is a nice and fluffy dessert with Gaviota Strawberries, Raspberry Stracciatella, Golden raisins, and candied Almonds. This is not overly sweet and it's sharable. At almost at the end of our dinner I saw a very familiar face entering the restaurant waving and shaking hands with the diners. And the closer the person got to our table towards inside the restaurant, I finally recognized him well, its Chef WOLFGANG PUCK! And it was an even better experience when he SAT DOWN with us and chatted a bit, such a nice and very humble Celebrity Chef in person. All in all, the dining experience here was absolutely Excellent and we are definitely dining back here for more delicious food. For a Fine Dining restaurant, this restaurant has a great food portion and it's so delicious , and with staff that are very friendly. Morgan , our server, is great . And an old guy , I think it his name either Juan or Jose who delivers food or picked up our done plates in our table, their services absolutely added to the great dining experience we had here. They do have Vallet parking and I believe I saw a building for paid parking near by , but we got lucky to find one just in front of their restaurant. Definitely dining back here again.

    I haven't been to Spago Beverly Hills in a while, but this time I took a friend out for dinner and felt compelled to write a review because the experience was wonderful. The food and ambiance were great, but the service truly stood out. Our waiter, Anthony, was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. He made us feel very welcome, gave great recommendations, and took excellent care of us throughout the evening. His genuine hospitality made the whole dinner feel special. Thank you, for such a memorable experience

    Last minute trip to Beverly Hills so we have no reservations. Is it even worth trying to get a seating at the bar for 2 or coming by waiting for a table on a Saturday night? Or would that be a complete waste of time.

    Hard to tell 100% 😬. There are also Louka (Greek) and E. Baldi (Italian), both excellent, on the same street. So maybe if you can't get into Spago's, you can find a place at the other ones. But I love Spago's, even at the bar.

    How long does one usually spend here?

    100-150 dollars per person, without counting drinks.

    Do they change menu in Summer? I wanted to try the wagyu and i saw before they have wagyu sliders.. is this still availablei want all sorts of wagyu dish they make?

    The menu changes often but you should call and ask about the wagyu, seems like one of the products they might continue to keep on the menu. Email them. I got an awesome/ quick response today when I asked about a menu item.

    Does their patio allow small dogs?

    I'm not sure. I don't think so.

    Do they have any all organic options?

    How are they operating during COVID?

    The city of BH closed off Canon Drive on the corner of Wilshire Blvd to make Spago the end of a cul de sac so they can operate a curbside dining experience in addition to their patio area. Its really great so they accommodate more patrons without… 

    Is there a corkage fee?

    Our corkage fee is $50 per bottle with a maximum of 2 bottles for any wine not already offered on our wine list.

    How far in advance can we make reservations? I tried to make reservations for May but the site said nothing available so I am thinking that month isn't open yet.

    About 60 days out.

    What is tbe tax on the bill other then tips?

    Telecommunications, Broadcast and Electronic Services

    Are there a good amount of gluten free options?

    Yes, they have pretty good options. Just make sure the server is aware, they modified a couple of dishes for a celiac friend.

    Do they have live music?

    No,they don't have

    Any dress code requirement?

    Like most of LA restaurants, it's not super dressy. I would avoid tennis shoes and t-shirts. Best bet is business casual...

    Is there a private room?

    I believe there is depending on the party count.

    How long does it take to get a reservation?

    Site says 24-48 hours but I've made same day reservations before

    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.

    Matt B. and I had dinner in Beverly Hills a few weeks back and wanted to grab a nightcap before…read morecalling our Uber home. 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Matu is a dream for meat lovers, with a menu centred entirely around Australian wagyu. Nothing…read moreshowcases that commitment better than the Matu dinner ($87 per person; minimum 2 persons), a multi-course meal that highlights different cuts of the cow in every single dish. Things begin with a 24-hour bone broth shooter, looking like a glass of gravy but tasting like concentrated umami. Rich, warm, and deeply comforting, it's remarkable how delicious it is despite containing only broth. The steak tartare follows with freshly chopped beef, egg yolk, and what the menu describes as a "Japanese accent," possibly togarashi. Whatever the seasoning blend is, it works beautifully. The tartare is incredibly flavourful despite its minimalist presentation. Thin, lightly toasted crostini accompany it without overpowering the beef, though I did ask for extra slices just to finish every bite. The eight-hour braised beef cheek was one of my favourite courses. So tender and moist that you could practically eat it with a spoon, the richness is balanced by a silky celeriac purée that ties everything together beautifully. It's the kind of dish that immediately makes you want another serving. Even their '47' salad leans heavily into the restaurant's beef-first philosophy, featuring more steak than greens. The 3-ounce centre-cut filet was impressively tender for such a lean cut, and although it arrived rarer than I'd typically order, it worked perfectly. At Matu, diners aren't asked how they'd like their steak cooked. The kitchen prepares it to the chef's specifications, trusting the quality of the beef and their technique. As for the romaine leaves underneath, they're coated in a signature dressing that tastes remarkably similar to Caesar, despite being made without dairy or eggs, then finished with a generous showering of Parmigiano. After all that beef, you'd think sharing a 12-ounce ribeye would feel excessive. Somehow, it didn't. The steak is prepared simply, allowing the quality of the wagyu to speak for itself, with crispy grilled broccolini providing a garlicky contrast alongside it. A small dish of salt is presented at the beginning of the meal, though Matu intentionally keeps the seasoning restrained. Personally, I appreciated the lighter touch and never felt the need to add more. Dessert arrives in the form of Scott's flourless chocolate cake ($12), dense and rich without being overly sweet beyond a dusting of powdered sugar. After an entire menu devoted to beef, I almost found myself jokingly wondering whether wagyu somehow made its way into dessert too.
