I wanted to love my experience at Spago, but didn't. I was staying in the area and decided to have dinner here and regretted it. The ambience is nice, service is decent, but my king salmon was really dry. My sashimi appetizer was just ok. Like I said, I really wanted to love it but was underwhelmed and sorely disappointed. I would not choose to go back. read more

The food and experience together were both fantastic! There was one mistake that occurred which isn't worth elaborating on here, but our server, Leal, went above and beyond to make sure that everything went amazingly well. Thank you, Leal! We look forward to returning again soon! read more

Excellent menu, wine selection, and culinary experience. They brought us samples of the glass of wine we selected initially to be sure it was what we wanted. One of us as well as at least another couple at a different table, after having a more indifferent reaction to the taste of our chosen selection, the matre de selected another for us to taste based upon what we told them that furdt taste lacked. And we both selected the 2nd one offered, which I suspected would be more expensive than my original choice but I didn't mind because it was so more what I was in the mood for. The food, wine, service and ambiance all where what one would hope for and expect at such a high end restaurant but too often is disappointed at other restaurants. However, not tonight! We would definitely come again on a special occasion. Our cost with 3 courses and 2 rounds of excellent wines was $200 per person plus tip. And we gladly paid it and would gladly do so again for the same outstanding experience. Thank you! read more

Spago is truly the best restaurant in LA - we love coming to eat here. Tuna cones are a huge hit and you can't just have 1. We had the cote de bofe and that might have been the best steak ever - so good. See you again soon. read more

What a fantastic dinner at Spago. Love the ambiance and décor. Typical of what you would expect with fine dining. The staff are super friendly and attentive. We had a Friday evening reservation for two. After a cocktail each, we started with the Munak Ranch Heirloom Tomatoes. Tomatoes were perfection and full of flavor. I especially loved my main course, which was the Singaporean Style Black Pepper Branzino. Not only was the fish full of amazing flavors, but the sides were also just as amazing. The vegetable stir-fry was lovely and went well with the Branzino. Parking isn't great in Beverly Hills, but for dinner you can always park in the public garages. Makes things so much easier. read more

My fiancé and I visit Spago for dinner at least once a month. To state the obvious, the food and ambience are impeccable. The menu changes seasonally, so we tend to try something new every time we return. Our constants are the bread box and the Agnolotti - the Agnolotti filling was recently updated from corn to chestnut for the winter months and it is divine. But what truly keeps us coming back to Spago is the consistent level of service that is nothing short of excellent. From the moment you walk into the beautiful restaurant, you are greeted warmly by the front of house. The waitstaff is simply dynamic. We have enjoyed getting to know everyone we have met so far, but Tim and Jason are standouts in their engaging nature and great energy. Spago will continue to be our top choice for an evening out in the neighborhood. read more

Service is excellent. Cheese plate is drool worthy. Pastas and pizza are the best. Tasty wines. Amazing desserts. Portions small. Great salads. Sea bass lovely. Avoid the hamachi it is no joke three little tiny pieces. Yes, costly but you know that walking in I hope. It has been awhile since I was here and it's still really nice. A bit chilly inside on a cool night but nice. I mean you look around at a sea of overblown egos but that is fun on its own. read more

Food: pretty good. I started with the burrito with the balsamic. Delicious. If you like burrata, get. I'd get it again. Had the cod fish for my entree. Pretty good, but didn't blow my socks off. Kind of simple. Had some crust on it which I couldn't tell what it was, but again.. it was good. Service: Good. Polite. Attentive. Welcoming, but it did take a little bit to get a few drinks. Ambiance: Very nice. Comfortable. Upscale, but not stuffy. Really nice place to grab a drink at the bar or enjoy a meal with friends. AND Wolfgang actually came over to say hello! Icing on the cake. What a nice guy! read more

Had the chance to visit and dine again at Spago, which is in my humble opinion top five restaurants in LA. Our service by the amazing Lielle (I might be butchering the spelling here) and the support staff headed by Jorge who's been a staple at Spago for 28 years now, was outstanding. The food from start to finish was just superb! We had: Samurai Sword cocktail 10/10 Chateauneuf du Pape glass - 10/10 Hearth Baked - 10/10 (bread service) Tuna Cones - 10/10 The Gem salad - 10/10 (divine dressing) Agnolotti del Plin - 10/10 Perigord Truffles w/Risotto - 10/10 Main Diver Scallops - 9/10 Jidori Chicken - 10/10 Chocolate Soufflé - 10/10 I can't recommend this restaurant enough. It has this rare combination of both highest level of standards (service, food, professionalism) along with good old plain personable hospitality. read more

This is a very late review but one word. Phenomenal. Came here with my Sister and brother-in-law and had the best time. We did the tasting and it was stunning. Aside from the amazing food, I wanted to highlight the service. Lelal and Ryan truly made our experience! My family and I fine dine 2 to 3 times a year as they can get extremely pricey, but this experience was one for the books. Places like this can be a bit daunting and so serious yet they made our experience that much better with something as simple as a smile. Lelal was so pleasant in her service and Ryan explained our dishes with amazing gravitas. Service like this makes me love food experiences - regardless of price. Spago is such a gem. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Went for my bday dinner with my boyfriend. We sat on the patio, which was cute. Very well trained staff, with a sommelier to keep your wine glass timely filled. I've been wanting to go for awhile, but honestly wasn't super impressed. The crispy ginger cone hand roll spicy tuna was good, the cone was this crispy candied ginger goodness. The spicy tuna was delicious. The truffle pasta was good. But it was a little too creamy and lacking depth in flavor. The sea bass left me wanting more. It was good but nothing special. I think I liked the sides more. The steak and truffle fries were good too. But again, nothing amazing. Got the chocolate cake thingy. It had different flavors and it was good. But nothing amazing. I expected more. TLDR. It was good, cute, bouii. But really for those who just want to be seen as fancy in Beverly Hills. But for the price you can do better for food and ambiance imho read more

I have been to Spago thrice. And each time has been an experience to remember. And I now invite you to join me in memory lane, as we venture into the past, and behold memories sponsored by Puck. And by Puck I mean the chef, and also the magical fairy of Shakespearean lore because only unseen magic can explain why I had dinners that transported me into another reality--- one where I was free of woe and want. The type of magic that confines you to the moment, to enjoy it, to behold it, and to taste precious flavors reserved for those who are willing to bite the dream of a place, like Spago. I used to work in a job where I was not the belle of the ball. But I used to have a colleague who made me feel, liked I mattered. Not because I was her cup of tea, but because she did not let who I was taint her opinion of me. She decided who I was based on how we should all treat one another: With an unflinching commitment that all people we come across deserve, as a baseline, our dignity and respect. In return, I helped her achieve a triumph- a new role. The tingle of accomplishment born out of shared support just washed over me---- if Spago could translate that to a bite, it would be a destination meal. To reward my support she took me to Spago. And the first time I went with her, it was a meal, yes, in strictest definition, but in a broader sense, when magic is embraced, it became a life-long memory I cherish. The service was keen. We had a server who was just on point. I asked him to guess what kind of drink we would want next based on who he thought we were. He took a look at my friend, and contorted his face to that of a psychic or detective beholding a crime scene and he determined what our next drinks should be. I cannot remember what he gave us. He gave us something good. Every drink we had that night was good. Ugh. I should take a notebook to spots. But the big take away no drink was bad, every sip was elegant. On this same night we ran into Puck. I was star struck--- I did not see a Sun up close, but I did see a shooting star that I was lucky enough to view. What helped me become a foodie was the tv show Top Chef. It allowed me to see food past what I was served growing up. I wanted to tell Puck that I had seen him on that very show where he made fun of a contestants biscuits. They were not light, quite the contrary Puck said, they were like hockey pucks, that can be thrown as such. He did not want to hear me. He placated me. I get it, we were in a nice place he did not need me to tell him how grand he was. Redwoods do not listen to squirrels. He did take a picture with my friend and I. That is the world of I live in, and I was a welcomed guess in it, cause sometimes the world we know might make us feel like an outcast. The pre-appetizers, I know they have a french name, were sublime. One came with raw food. I forgot to tell them that I can't with raw food. They brought me a new one with appel instead of the fish. And the bite was just exquisite to its core (get it--- cause it was shaved apple?). Service like this, makes me feel like a guest who is immediately covered by a blanket if a breeze picks up to quick. I liked that feeling. Especially when my friend dropped nearly a grand on the experience. On this same experience, I had some corn agnolotti with some shaved truffle. Now, I am a sucker for corn-- roasted, on a cup, steamed. I eat it with joy, especially when it is on a stick and do not have to sit to chew. So my expectations were high and the corn agnolotti did not disappoint. It was creamy, the corn taste was familiar but new--- like meeting your boyfriend, who you have known for years, and seeing him with a fresh cut and suit, and realizing that he still gives you butterflies. Spago made me fall in love with corn again. I reviewed facebook to jog my memory and the last picture on the scroll was an empty plate that once held a type of steak. What further compliment can you give a place then a clean plate. I fully expected to write about my three experiences at Spago in this one review. But then I could not move on from the first time I went. So I may your first trip to Spago be like mine, and let it remind you that first times do not have to be awkward or a weird novelty. They can be everything that you expected and more in. a way that leave a magic mark upon your memory lane. My memory lane has a heart written in chalk that cannot be washed away and dead in the center it reads Spago + Miguel. read more

We went to Spago on Mother's Day, May 11th, 2026, with our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter for a midafternoon early dinner. There was live entertainment, a band and a singer, that turned out to be deafeningly loud. We were seated in the main dining room and it was totally impossible to have any conversation at the table. Halfway through the meal I began to get a headache from the music which was just blasting at us and had to complain to several staff members. We were told they couldn't turn the music down because it was live. Finally, we were moved to another room further from the music. We have been to Spargo many times, know Michelle, the general manager, and several members of the wait staff quite well. This was the first time we had a bad experience. Be forewarned, if they have live music on any occasion when you plan to attend, you better bring your earplugs. read more

Spago still lives up to its reputation after so many years. Beautiful restaurant, fantastic service, superb food. Still ranked as one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles for a good reason.

Spago is pure excellence. Food, service, legacy. It's worth coming for a special occasion - I came for my 41st birthday, and they surprised me with a complimentary and festive dessert. Drinks and dinner were top-notch Los Angeles fare. My only nits to pick are probably impossible to solve - I wanted a Spago matchbook, but they only offer books of toothpicks, and since it was both the tail-end of covid and summer, we were seated in a tent-like structure outside, rather than inside the actual restaurant. I used to be acquainted with a gentleman who had a wall plaque from the restaurant commemorating his 1000th visit to Spago. I will never achieve that, but even my one visit was a memory of a lifetime. read more

Spago remains one of my favorite spots to celebrate a special occasion. It is a classic with a great sense for style and elegance and obviously outstanding and creative dishes. There has not been anything that was not a great pleasure for both eyes and taste buds. And it will be selected for future occasions again. PREVIOUS REVIEW Still a dream of a dining place after so many years - and one that sets a very high benchmark. Spago combines classy style with a nonetheless relaxed and charming atmosphere promoted by staff of all ranks. But let's not forget: we really go there for the unparalleled food - a festival of creativity, beautiful arrangements and an astonishing fullness of various flavors. We went with the 8 course tasting menu - which resulted in an unannounced backstage tour through the kitchen, consisted in a seemingly never-ending parade of small color- and flavorful bites, and included a personal note of the Chef about some ingredients... Nothing but dining pleasure asking for return visits. read more

It's hard to rate Spago BH because it seems to be heavily frequented by locals which impacts a visitor's experience. The location is epic (they all are). Ambiance - a lovely old world feel. Service is exceptional (they remember your allergens and table preferences): they team together to make sure everything is as perfect as possible so multiple people service your table. Incredible service. The food is fresh, high quality, creative, and with a few Wolfgang Puck nostalgic family recipes. When it comes to dining with my son (a body builder), I would need to order double meals. The small, European style of appealing displays of food is always pleasing to the eye, but not enough to satisfy a young athletic man. We asked for and ordered the largest serving of meat available and son raided the fridge when we got back. While definitely an upscale establishment, it draws a very casual clientele: T-shirts and jeans seem like the norm. A family dining area for kids would be nice (the noisy ones aren't compatible with relishing fine cuisine). Because of the casual clientele and family diners, the atmosphere takes a hit (nothing like a yelling kid and complacent parents seated near you). Courtyard dining is especially beautiful. Lots of locals/regulars known by name eat here, but surprisingly the service for a non-regular was excellent. I gave five stars for the total package: Spago just does everything right. Fabulous dining experience. I do wish they would arrange their tables differently for some quiet spots. read more

Spago is an upscale restaurant in Beverly Hills and I had not been there for quite some time . Certainly the menu selections change to keep up with the clientele's' changing palette. The menu was just a tad limited in my opinion. I'm Not quite a fan of the nouvelle palette that seems to be invading the Italian selections in several upscale restaurants . I am no fan of truffles and it seems like truffles this and truffle that . I don't see the big deal about truffles -- perhaps I am something ??? Anyway -- I really liked the pizza which was a pizza margarita . I didn't order the salmon on the pizza as this sounds a bit too fishy for me . The pizza was perfect . After this came the JIDORI chicken: I took only 2 bites and left the remainder .--I'm just not a fan of JIDORI chicken and the taste is always unfamiliar no matter where I had ordered it so perhaps I'll not ever order JIDORI chicken again anywhere . The potatoes were great. The prices are of course a bit overcooked too but it's the name that justifies the costs , it was packed and the waiters were very professional . It was noisy so if you are looking for quieter atmosphere forget it . This is just my opinion and apparently this restaurant has been around for decades so they are doing something right for many of its clientele - it's just me that needs a more old style menus without salmon on a pizza ! Try it you might like it.. read more

Spectacular birthday dinner @ Spago Beverly Hills located in the heart of downtown LA The food was excellent, service was impeccable and the ambience was classy and elegant. Started off dinner with some Kaluga caviar which was amazing and Endive salad. My hubby had the Jidori Chicken which was so tasty and flavorful. Hubby treated this bday girl to the best item on the menu, an A-5 Japanese Wagyu New York Steak. The flavor is so rich and buttery, it literally melts in your mouth. To top it all off, I had the most decadent and beautiful complimentary birthday chocolate cake which was absolute heaven. But the highlight of the night was meeting Wolfgang Puck himself who stopped by our table to say hello! A perfect night from start to finish! read more

Came for a celebration dinner (two couples). Really appreciated the recognition of friends birthday. Great booth in the corner. Sat down to order wine and sommelier was very helpful since the wine list is extensive. Excellent choices. We ordered a series of items for the table share and found the server to be top notch and helpful. Started with the bread box. Overall a hit. Carrot hummus was sweet and good. The. We had the spicy tuna hand rolls. These were a kiss for us. Very meh and the flavors just felt out of place. Two pasta dishes. The squash pasta and lobster. I strongly preferred the butternut squash pasta and think it may have been the best dish of the night. Could almost be dessert. The men preferred the lobster pasta. Mains were chicken, steak and schnitzel which we all loved. Honestly the issue was we over ordered and got very full so we left some good food behind. Since it was a birthday celebration we finished the night off with apple strudel and it was 10/10. Perfect sauce and apple to pastry ratio. Such a fun place, I recommend it. read more

The ambiance was great and service was not bad but the food was just average for the price. We ordered pastas and none of them wow us. The waiter did recommend an Alois Kracher dessert wine that was fun to try! I love noble rot wines. This place is fun for the historical and hype factor and used to be "in" 20 years ago but I wouldn't come back. Out of all the celebrity restaurant empires, I would say this is slightly worse than Nobu. read more

5 of us were celebrating for a friend who is moving out of the country; she wanted to revisit one of her old favorites for her last night out. My expectations were low, expecting a stodgy meal. The experience was quite the contrary. Service was more than gracious, everyone we encountered was warm & friendly. Each dish was delicious, flavors were balanced, textures were all on point, sauces may have been a tad old-school (but in the best most satisfying way). I would never have expected to see Wolfgang himself IN the kitchen, tasting and directing activities before he came out to the dining room and stopped by a few tables. We beckoned for him and he kindly posed for photos with our party-girl... shortly after we beckoned him back for a group photo and he happily obliged, engaging in thoughtful banter.... he then proceeded to stop at every table in the room, posed for countless photos and it is clear that part of his success is passion. As food lovers do, we shared & passed around tastes of all the dishes which included: Spicy Tuna Tartare in a crispy cone was delicious, Glistening Smoked Salmon with Caviar (orange fish roe) Pizza (we had 2 pizzas), Uni Risotto was my least favorite dish it was a little too basic for my taste, traditional Duck Breast moist but not greasy and I'd happily eat this again, Lamb Chops were gamier and more flavorful than the chops from my local butcher, the sauce was delicious, I preferred the side order of seasonal mushrooms over the side of Brussel sprouts which simply didnt have enough sprouts. Everyone appreciated the Ochota Barrels Syrah (which as the designated driver I was told this was an excellent suggestion by the Sommelier), we closed out the meal with their "cookie jar" with (two each) of 6 lovely, old-school comforting cookies, all of which were tasty my least favorite being the chocolate chip (I was looking for something a bit more dramatic). Overall the staff and service makes this the ideal place for a special occasion and it's worth the drive. Exceeded my expectations and it was a very special Bon Voyage for our friend. read more

Food/drink: not bad, not great either. Bread service, which you pay for, was lackluster. Spanish octopus was pretty good. The tuna cones we found to be too sweet. The scallops were a bit dry and over cooked, but overall not terrible. Best item we thought was the dessert, the chocolate soufflé. The cocktails we had were well made. Service: Found this to be surprisingly underwhelming for this type of restaurant. The service was friendly and cordial, which was nice. We aren't high maintenance diners by any means either but you notice small things that turn you off. Having to constantly ask for a water refill. Having your waitress completely forget an entree order as they hand you the dessert menu, then "split" the one entree they didn't forget, just to charge you a $5 split fee and not take this off the bill at the end for their error. End of the day, who cares, it's $5, but it's the principle of it that is off putting. Ambiance: this was our favorite part of the meal. There are a host of characters across every generation who dine here. People watching here is entertaining and the environment is overall very nice and festive. Overall: We don't regret coming to dine here. The food and service fell short of our expectations. However this is a classic institution we are glad we got the chance to experience while it is still around. read more

I admit that I'm not a fan of my former experiences of Mr Puck and his brand of dining, however this experience has totally changed my former outdated opinion. This meal - and the drinks especially - was fantastic. The presentation, the ambiance, the service - all top tier. We sat at the bar to avoid any wait and to really experience the new bar program. The amuse bouche was lovely and the service behind the bar was top notch. We had the risotto and gnocchi and I am still thinking about those dishes weeks later. We both had a few rounds of cocktails from the new menu and I truly cannot speak enough about the truly amazing cocktails we had. So good it would be worth it just to go to Spago for drinks. The crowning jewel of what was a noteworthy evening was the inventive presentation of the Walrus and the Carpenter. A martini with pickled sea beans and an oyster paired with it. This presentation whimsical and the pairing inspired. This was truly a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend the offerings at Spago more enthusiastically. read more

Spago Beverly Hills is such a beautiful restaurant in a prime location. The dining area is beautiful with a fireplace and greenery. It is the definition of a high end and expensive restaurant and Beverly Hills is definitely where it belongs. They even have a wine connoisseur walking around that will recommend wines. The service was great and our server was super knowledgable on the menu and was able to provide us great recommendations. All the food we ordered was high quality and delicious. We started with the bread box which came with an assortment of breads, butter, and hummus and also the spicy tuna cones. The bread box I probably could have lived without but the tuna cones were amazing and flavor packed even though they were rather small. For my entree, I ordered the risotto which was a "mid portion" sized dish. However, it was the perfect amount for me personally! For dessert, we ordered the cheesecake that came in a big portion and was also amazing. Honestly, everything about Spago was amazing and it is definitely a good restaurant to go to when you're willing to splurge on a high end restaurant. read more

Full disclosure, I used to work here... but my has it changed. It's actually become much hipper, and even more expensive, but it's ultimately still the same old Spago. The more things change the more they stay the same, and Spago is still that iconic LA restaurant that has to be experienced at least once. The Beverage Director has really upped the craft cocktail menu, which was imaginatively sorted by decades. The drinks we had were truly spectacular. The food, as you may expect, is flawless. I ordered a couple of the classics, Agnolotti and Wienerschnitzel (for old times) and they were spot hitting (and then some). Other dishes my partner had were more complex and yet still sublime. People watching at Spago is as interesting as the food, as is the renovated patio (now with retractable roof) and the staff who seemingly glide effortlessly throughout the room. That said, I'm not sure I know anyone who would take their younger kids to this class of restaurant, but then I also don't really move in these circles. Go, at least once, you won't regret it (just be sure to have room on your credit card). read more
