Thank you to Viviane for the wonderful Mothers Day Brunch. My husband, daughter and her boyfriend took me to the Viviane for brunch. It is in the beautiful Avalon hotel. The same hotel where Marilyn Monroe swan in the pool while she was an up and coming actress. There is indoor seating, and seating by the pool. We sat in one of the alcoves by the pool. The hotel has a fantastic 1950's retro vibe. Service was impeccable. Omelets made to order. The buffet had a carving station with 2 meat choices. The tri tip was delicious. Scrambled eggs, applewood sausage, lox, with bagel choices toasted by the server. cottage fries with onion and peppers. Big beautiful shrimp with cocktail sauce. Waffles, French toast. Fruit and a beautiful display of yummy sweet treats. The bar had lots of fun poolside drinks as well a full bar. And if eating at the Viviane, free valet parking!! We checked out the dinner menu and we will be back. read more

Viviane is a restaurant I absolutely love. The setting is intimate and beautiful, with a poolside atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel relaxed and special. The tacos here were some of the best I've had. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the avocado was generous, and the spices were layered in a way that felt rich without being overwhelming. The menu overall feels classic yet innovative, with thoughtful combinations that stand out. The staff could not be more lovely, which adds to how easy it is to settle in and enjoy your time. And eating poolside is always a plus. It's conveniently located inside the Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills, which makes it feel like more of a getaway than just a meal. The hotel itself adds to the experience, with thoughtful touches like a welcome elixir at check-in, access to a wellness spa, and bikes available to use. It's a relaxing, slightly playful staycation option if you're in Los Angeles. read more

Loved everything about this place. Little hard to find, a sign on Olympic would help. Great atmosphere and even better food. Can't wait to go back !! read more

Came here for brunch on a weekend. Overall good experience, cool ambiance, friendly servers, good menu. Main complaint was the slow service (the inside portion of the restaurant had a private event when we were there). We sat outside around the pool area, awesome vibe! Valet parking was complimentary which was also a huge plus. I got a breakfast burrito and latte. Portions were as expected / on the generous side. My partner got the eggs Benedict. Food was delicious! read more

The ambiance was nice. Old Hollywood vibes in a good way. The live music did not match with Valentine's Day though and the food was just so meh I was so disappointed. Especially going there for their Valentine's Day prix. They didn't have any recommended wine pairings which was strange for $100 a person. I wanted to like it so much. With complimentary valet I'm willing to try the brunch for the final time. read more

Great service and delicious food! Our server made wonderful recommendations on the entrees, the airline chicken was flavorful and tender. My house made pasta with added shrimp was pretty cheesey and paired well with the garlic flavor grilled shrimp. The restaurant has beautiful decor that reminds me of Palm Springs, would love to visit again for their brunch FREE valet Parking was super nice! read more

This place is so great! I stay at the Avalon often and I wake up looking forward to eating here. :) First the food, I've gotten several things on the breakfast/lunch/dinner menu and they're all amazing. My favorites are the kale salad with an added protein. The hamachi crudo is *delicious* I'll be enjoying that tonight. Their steak frites and chicken are my go-to entrees. For breakfast I love their smoothies and their avocado toast with perfectly cooked-to-order egg. On Wednesdays they host the dreamiest live music and half-off bottles of wine. This brings me to the ambiance. The property is so old school Hollywood/Los Angeles. The pool, the palms, string lights. There are photos online of when Marylin Monroe was staying here. It's just perfect for a great meal and live music. Lastly the service is incredible. Everyone is so super nice in their own unique way. It feels really genuine. Highly recommend this place! read more

Came here for dinner. When we arrived, no one working the valet & no self-parking option. After dinner, same thing. Another guest abandoned his car in the driveway. And another couple also wanted to get their car after us. Truly pathetically that a restaurant has no parking in this day & age. This was a weekend evening, restaurant was fairly dead, as was the lobby, so not like they were slammed or this was a random Tuesday evening or anything. No excuse. read more

Totally laid back, 1960's Hollywood vibe (yet modern appointed), wonderful staff and great food. Sit by the pool in the courtyard and recall when Marilyn Monroe stayed here. read more

We have been here many times. But today was a disaster! We arrived today for our reservation at 11:30. Placed our order at 11:40. We waited and waited and waited, and then waited some more. Not a single food item came out. Not even any cold items, or bread, let alone any cooked items. We continued asking about our food and all we were told that they are short staffed, but the place was not even 25% full. At 12:30, 50 minutes after we placed our order, we gave up and left. The manager was completely inept and unable to manage the situation. A disaster worthy of Kitchen Nightmares. A little bit of common sense could have resolved this issue (such as offering bread to the table or some snack to hold people off) but common sense is not common. We shall never come back again. read more

We had Mother's Day lunch, like we've had for the last 3/4 years. It's close to the house, a chill spot with a chill vibe and we always have a good time. Normally the menu is fairly extensive, you can order french toast, waffles, brunch items and they bring them to your table. This year, they changed up the menu and added a buffet to the menu with made to order omelettes which automatically enrolled you for the buffet. The omelettes were fine (btw, the secret to a great omelette is using 2 eggs vs. 3) The french toast, waffles at the buffet were soggy/soaked from sitting in the metal containers. The potatoes were good, bacon was good, sausage was overcooked & dried out. The buffet was $95 a person!!!! So 3 of us had omelettes with a little bacon and soggy french toast & waffles, 1 of us had a burger, add a couple smoothies & coffee and our bill was over $400! Cmon guys, you're usually better than that. Now I'm disappointed I have to find another Momma's Day location (insert down thumb emoji) read more

A Wonderful Stay at The Avalon - Highly Recommend! I had the pleasure of staying at The Avalon this past week (August 26 - September 3rd) while visiting from Florida, and I truly couldn't have picked a better hotel--or a better location. Everything was within walking distance, which made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable. What really made my stay exceptional, though, was the staff. The restaurant team was an absolute delight every single day--kind, professional, and consistently offering outstanding service. And then there's Carlos at the front desk. Every great hotel has that one standout person, and Carlos is definitely that for The Avalon. From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly helpful, always greeting us with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to assist. His customer service is impeccable, and he's a true gem of the hotel. If you stay here, be sure to look for Carlos and let him know about this glowing review--he absolutely deserves it. Also, if you can, request Room 222--great location and very comfortable! read more

Lovely spot for Sunday brunch. We came here to celebrate my friend's graduation and we all enjoyed it. The place was not too busy on a Sunday morning but I still recommend making a reservation like we did, just in case. They have a relaxing outside dining area with the pool in the center. Our server was kind and explained the menu as we mentioned that it was our first time. I had an açaí bowl, which was very refreshing for a sunny morning, and a warm and delicious French toast. read more

I come back to the Avalon at least 45% because of this restaurant. Breakfast and lunch options are fantastic, including the salmon bagel board, the fresh and tasty yogurt bowl, and the shrimp tacos. I've loved everything I've tried. The /SERVICE/ though. It's so great. The team here is so welcoming and sweet. Jason especially is extremely attentive and sometimes I swear he can fully read minds (fresh cold brew before I even thought to ask for it!!!). There are other great things about the hotel, but this restaurant is a standout. I'll keep returning every time I'm in LA. read more

Reserved the private room for an engagement party and everything was wonderful! Esther was our host and made sure everyone in our party was taken care of. There were two very nice assistants that kept bringing delicious food and drinks. The room includes an indoor and outdoor space for the group to enjoy. The restaurant has a cool vibe and is in the Avalon Hotel which was redesigned by Kelly Wearstler. Can't wait to book another party at this venue! Maria was our reservation contact person and she put together a great evening! read more

Lunch was great, nice bowls, taste was good, laid back vibe. Not too busy. Valet is free. Poke bowl was tasty.

A great spot for a get together with friends. The service was friendly and attentive. They have free valet parking for the restaurant, which is a nice touch. We enjoyed our brunch there, the eggs Benedict were done perfectly. The indoor outdoor dining option is also nice as both are attractive and well suitedfor a casual dining experience read more

Very kind, polite, genuine staff provided excellent service and made me feel very comfortable. But that's where good things end. I ordered fish tacos at the server's recommendation. Fish was dry and it just wasn't well balanced. Not bad but not good either, just something to fill the stomach with. I also ordered a piece of chocolate cake as dessert. It was very cold and very dry, definitely not fresh. Felt like a deli cake from the fridge, but just plated with extra berries. Overall, absolutely not worth the price. read more

Pull up. Valet your car. Swing through the hotel doors. Cut past the table tops. Out the door. Plant yourself at a table next to the pool. Throw on your shades and order a nice drink. You'll feel like Jerry McGuire taking a meeting to close a deal. Or maybe the lead singer of an 80s hair band discretely drinking off that all night coke-fueled hotel party from the night before. Yeah. That's the vibe. read more

There were only 4 of us. The had us wait for 1 hour at the table without serving any food. Not the appetizers, not the raw vegetables/crudites, not avocado, not bread. Nothing. Most of what we ordered did not need to be cooked. We left after 1 hour without eating. An apology doesn't make up for the 1 hour wasted. read more

I went here with my girlfriend because I got attracted to the interiors! The food was not that great! We went here for lunch and it was nothing special but a tad pricey! We had guacamole and fries and we also had a salad and I had their cold press juice! I Wouldn't say it's bad but it's just not the place that I would look for or go back to. Nothing special even the service itself! read more

Convenient due to its location in our hotel! Nice to sit by the pool and have a cocktail. Our server Brett was very nice. Everyone in this place is very nice and professional. We just had drinks and dessert. I had the Key Lime pie - which was good - it tasted a little like it had lavender in it, but the crust was exceptional. Steph had the chocolate truffle cake - it was so rich, but she loved it! read more

This is a true hidden gem in Beverly Hills... this is one of my favorite breakfast spots. It's a whole vibe by the pool in the summer and a nice quiet breakfast spot that's good and dose t break the bank like most breakfast in Beverly Hills. Lol. You can be seated inside or outside which they have heaters to make it note cozy on cold days. I've never stayed at the hotel but I love the food both breakfast and dinner. The staff is great, friendly and helpful. I only have one requisite that they get Baileys for my coffee lol. read more

Came here with girlfriends and our lunch came out to be $45 each. It's delicate and fine dining in a casual setting but I think my young adult kids would need two of their entrees (each) for a meal. We ordered 4 things to share: bustle sprouts, fish tacos, grilled chicken, and the spinach cavetellia. Quality was what you'd expect from a higher end restaurant but the portion size was a bit small. However, the Earl Gray Creme Brûlée was perfect - big enough for the 3 of us to share and excellently done. The poolside dining area is a great refreshing idea which makes this place unique and enjoyable. Service was perfect! Lastly, free valet parking! read more

We went here today to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday. We wanted to make it special; our waitress, Ana, was truly our partner in making that happen. Our daughter and her friends sati in the cabana, adding to the experience. We ordered chips and guacamole, fries and desserts. All were perfect size and excellent quality. It is a beautiful atmosphere which is an oasis from the craziness surrounding the area. My daughter was thrilled with the results and we enjoyed our drinks at our own table. We recommend this with the highest rating!!! read more

Came here for a gals birthday get together on a Sunday early afternoon. We had a nice covered and heated spot by the pool. Very vibey and relaxed area that was great and comfortable for our group of 6. Kind staff and free valet is a plus. I got the burger for just north of $20 (typically LA hotel restaurant pricing) and it was tasty. They let our group sit there for hours without issue. They do have an indoor area as well that people brought work to do and chilled out for the day. Enjoyable experience and would be happy to return for seclusion and relaxation. read more

Was surprised to see the restaurant at the hotel I was staying at had such a high rating! Had dinner elsewhere so I tried it for dessert. Per Yelp reviews I thought I was ordering 3 different cookies but I got 3 chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream. The cookies were hot and delicious. The ice cream was nothing to write home about. Regardless I housed it all and the service was great so no complaints! read more

Excellent service, really cool ambiance, and delicious steak bavette brussel sprouts. The prime bavette steak is $35, but it's both filling and tender, cooked right (I asked for rare), yet still light enough where you don't feel unhealthy. A little bonus is the trendy outdoor seating right by the pool! Really fun to sit where the music is (and at night, they have heat lamps) read more

Super cute space located inside a hotel. Tons of natural lighting with indoor/ outdoor - poolside seating and great service. I came here with a few colleagues for dinner and we made happy hour right before it ended. Some dishes that really stood out to me was the FRIED SQUASH BLOSSOMS, PEI MUSSELS & FRITES, TRUFFLE ARANCINI, and the RIGATONI. I definitely want to come back again to try their other dishes. ENJOY!

Need a couple of days in Palm Springs but don't have the time? May I suggest a couple of hours at Viviane instead? You might feel just as refreshed, you'll have a delicious meal, and you won't have to worry about sunburn or huge credit card bills or the traffic on the 10. Viviane had escaped my attention even though I'd driven by it many times; it's tucked away in the Avalon, a lovely boutique hotel. Having received a gift card for the restaurant, I decided to pop in on my way home from a rather contentious family visit in need of a calming and soothing experience. The ambiance is pure Palm Springs: the palette is soothing and on the blue/green end of the spectrum, there's a retro feel to the design, and the pool is right there. In fact, I believe you can sit by the pool if I am not mistaken. The menu seems designed for health-conscious Californians slimming down for their next audition. At the recommendation of my helpful server Mark, I ordered: Coffee: fantastic. Rich and flavorful. An egg white frittata: Healthy yet delicous. Green Goddess smoothie: I'm really not into smoothies but this was amazingly flavorful and rich for being so healthy. Panna cotta: smooth, creamy and topped with luscious fresh fruit. And since happy hour started while I was there, I also had a Peach Collins which was refreshing and relaxing. Valet is validated and there is ample free street parking. This would be a great place for a poolside lunch or brunch. read more

Viviane is a homerun every time! The servers and bus staff are some of the best! Customer service is bar none here!

Tucked away in the Avalon Hotel, Viviane is a breezy, charming spot made for lunching. The interior space is bright and inviting, but you'll probably be seated outdoors, in a jewel-box little space surrounding the hotel pool. The menu is tightly curated but executed with confidence; reliable go-to menu items comfort rather than challenge your palate. Service is kind and attentive; my date asked for an improvised non-alcoholic cocktail, and they came through admirably. The free valet is the cherry on top. Recommended, especially for a power lunch with your agent... or for a tryst with a special someone. read more

**SOLID, PRETTY BRUNCH SPOT** Celebrated our Easter brunch here. PARKING ======== We walked, but there is valet and street. AMBIANCE ========= Elegant retro with lots of bright whites. The pool is the featured focus around the hotel. The small bar with green leathered stools is Sinatra beautiful. FOOD ===== ROASTED CHICKEN SANDWICH - $15 Avocado, Nueske's Bacon, Romaine, tomato, and french fries all together were very good. Loved the bacon and the freshness of the avocado and the greens. RATING: 4/5 Had a refreshing mezcal-based cocktail for $13. Brunch for 2 with one drink was around $70, including tip. Not exactly cheap, but it's not that expensive, considering the quality of food and ambiance. SERVICE ======== Super friendly, always checked on us. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL ======== One of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills. Will show them more love via Happy Hour. RECOMMEND. read more

So.much.salt. I don't know if their chef/cook has dead tastebuds, but the cacio e pepe was way too salty. The side of sautéed spinach I ordered was better.
