Spago Beverly Hills: A Culinary Experience of New American and Italian Bliss

Our last evening in Los Angeles—and at the same time the final night of our honeymoon—could not have been more perfect. We deliberately chose Spago Beverly Hills to celebrate this special occasion, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the valet parking and the aperitif at the bar to the attentive table service and the warm farewell, every member of the team was consistently friendly, professional, and welcoming. The menu recommendations provided by the service staff were excellent, and each dish was absolutely delicious. We truly felt well taken care of and were able to enjoy every moment of this unforgettable evening. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience. We will certainly return to Spago the next time we are in the United States.

Consistently wonderful food, service and atmosphere. The place is warm, inviting and classy- but not stiff and stuffy. Chef Puck's mingling with the guests is a testament to that. He has every reason to be proud of his long-established restaurant and the excellent food here. The caviar cannoli, persimmon burrata, chicory salad, hamachi, lobster pasta, jidori chicken, apple strudel, cheese plate were all delicious with it's own unique twist. Nothing was ordinary.

Best meal I’ve ever had in my entire life. Everything was perfect - from the top notch service to the beautiful restaurant to the amazing atmosphere to the mouthwatering food! Super accommodating for dietary restrictions and allergies. Spoil yourself and get the wagyu steak!

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!

Hearth Baked / Bread Box Three breads. The buckwheat baguette was the standout—chewy, flavorful, and dangerously good with Vermont butter. The dark seeded rye was forgettable, and the rosemary–sumac carta di musica was very thin, heavily spiced, and a bit oily. Overall fine, but not worth the $26. Big Eye Tuna Cones (bar menu only) Crispy sesame–miso cone filled with tuna, tobiko, and a sweet-spicy garlic aioli. Light, clean, and surprisingly refreshing. You have to ask for this one. House Cured Smoked Salmon Pizza (bar menu only) A must-try anywhere, but this version was just okay—nothing memorable. Liberty Duck Breast Ordered medium and cooked very well. Tender, fine texture with light fruity sweetness, though there’s still a hint of duck gaminess. Portion was generous (three pieces), served over wrapped kimchi—creative and interesting pairing. Austrian Wiener Schnitzel First time trying this style, and it was a pleasant surprise. The kitchen split the two cutlets onto separate plates, which was thoughtful. Veal was tender and flavorful, served with jam, cucumber salad, potato salad, beet salad, and lemon. Tasted great, though presentation leaned casual rather than refined. Kaiserschmarrn Excellent. Not overly sweet, with a texture between soufflé and pancake. The raspberry chocolate ice cream and almonds were great, though the strawberry jam underneath was a bit too sweet. Dark Chocolate Soufflé Warm, rich, and satisfying with ice cream and cream. Good, but less memorable than the Kaiserschmarrn.

We sat in the patio and it was nice there with two fireplaces and place heaters keeping us cozy. The table was rickety and we had to ask for it to be stabilized twice. No one came to give us the menu or ask us about our drink orders for about 10 mins. When someone did pay us attention they were super nice and helpful. We ordered the following: 1) tuna cones - 5/5 absolutely delicious. High quality tuna, delicious sauce, served in a crunchy cone. 2) Singaporean style Branzino -5/5 Very delicious. Generally we are used to having a branzino roasted anccording to Italian or Greek recipes. But this was lightly fried and served with a delectable sauce on a bed of veggies that included lotus roots. 3) Jidori chicken - 4/5 the technique on this dish is amazing. The chicken is perfectly cooked. The goat cheese is snuck in between the meat and the skin. The Chanterelle mushroom and the mashed potatoes make a rich earthy combination. The only reason to take off a star was that the chicken was under salted 4)Kaiserschmarn - 5/5 The pancake style German dessert was soft and fluffy, and not too sweet. Perfect. I think the raspberry coulis and the strawberry ice cream was too sweet and imparted a cloying quality that was not needed. 5) The Domaine Huet Chenin Blanc and the Riesling wines - 5/5 both wines were lovely and it was wonderful to try them first before ordering. The pour quantity was small for a high end restaurant While the service was attentive, we felt that it was slow and a little disjointed. At a restaurant with such a pedigree we expected a smoother service that could be more timely. We will be back to try other options from the menu. The food was top class!

It was so delightful. The staff is so friendly. And the food is delicious. It was packed and everyone is in a good mood and happy. We felt at home - and loved the Weiner schnitzel!! Love it

We had a great time at Spago! The pizza was legendary with a crust that was thin, crispy and unique. We had the tuna cones which has a crunchy umami cone. We had the wagyu, chicken and branzino entrees and they did not disappoint. The vibe was friendly and relaxed, not stuffy. Highly recommended.
