Spago - Beverly Hills

Spago Beverly Hills, Wolfgang Puck's legendary, flagship restaurant, continues to set the standard for cuisine, service and style, and is consistently recognized as the ultimate in fine dining. Spago presents a completely new menu and design. The master chef has re-invented the entire menu with his signature farm to table philosophy. Puck, along with Managing Partner and James Beard Award-winning Executive Chef Lee Hefter, creates imaginative seasonal menus showcasing the best of California’s produce and products. Spago's new design from Waldo Fernandez complements the food with its clean and simple aesthetic, incorporating natural elements to add an organic feel. Spago is the recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award and received two stars in The Michelin Guide-Los Angeles edition, one of only three restaurants in the city to win this coveted distinction. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the restaurant earned the prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award, the publication's highest honors.

"I always think of Spago when I need a reservation for lunch with a special friend or an elegant dinner with friends or family.
The food is beautifully prepared and presented, delicious and inspiring( I like to cook). You are treated like an invited guest
by the staff. The service is excellent and impressively gracious. It is an experience to be savored. Love it !

"This must have been an "off" day for Spago, one of the best restaurants in LA. What a disappointment to be confronted with stale
bread and tough, tough, tough Wiener Schnitzel. Couldn't take more disappointment so skipped dessert.

"Went to Spago on my one year anniversary. It's a great place to dine, to celebrate, and to have a business meeting.
From the moment I received my call to confirm my reservation the afternoon of, I knew it was going to be a great experience!
The reviews I read we're great, and Were nothing short of what I personally experienced.
Spago is a great place in a great city, great people, great service and amazing food!"

"This was my second time visiting the restaurant and let me tell you, it was fantastic...again! The food is always amazing and the service is the best in Beverly Hills. The flavors are so bold, so fresh, so unique, but all so familiar. Wolfgang takes traditional items and makes them into something extraordinary. Both times that I have visited the restaurant, Wolfgang himself has come around to each table shaking people's hands and introducing himself. Now THAT is class!! And if the food and service aren't enough, the plastic surgery parade and other eclectic people watching are second to none. It is pricey, so make sure it's a special occasion or that you bring your company credit card."

"Even though we were charged $50.00 bottle for corkage, the wine service was poor to non-existent. Our water glasses were also left empty most of the night. To make matter worse, the restaurant imposed a mandatory 20% service charge for a party of four. Near the end of the dinner, the restaurant started to play very loud music which was very distracting. Overall a very poor experience. It was very obvious that this restaurant caters only to the tourists and not foodies, wine geeks, nor those seeking a fine dining experience. This is the first poor rating I have ever taken time to post on Opentable."

"I had an RSVP on open table. After getting there at the time of my rsvp, I was told to wait because the tables had their checks but werent getting up yet. Then i noticed the people around me that walked in getting sat. I went up and asked a couple of times about the table and then finally got sat. It was almost like the rsvp was pointless.
We sat there without a menu (wine or food) for 10 minutes. The waiter was not on top of things at all...had to ask for bread, my friend got her wine but he forgot mine, my other friend didnt get her salad until after my steak came out because he forgot to put it in....you get the idea.
The food was good, aesthetics were pleasing, and I was in good company, otherwise, I would have been totally annoyed."

"Always a great place to visit and eat. The new décor is very nice and tidy looking and the menu is exciting as always. If you would like the weiner schnitzel - they'll gladly make it for you, but it's no longer on the menu. :( We always take out-of-towners here and they are consistently left with a fantastic impression. Young-ish staff - but nothing like the young staff at say, Villa Blanca. They're professional and courteous at all times."

"Spago never disappoints. You are greeted in a friendly manner as you enter the always busy restaurant. The wait staff is professional, friendly and accommodating. The menu has new things to try as well as old favorites. I've always been treated well at Spago and it remains my favorite Los Angeles restaurant. When Wolf is in house he mingles with his guests and stops to chat with those of us he knows. Spago is an event--not just a place to eat."

"It was my friend's birthday, she had come all the way from London to enjoy her big day. Our reservation was for 9:30pm, the hostess informed us that they were running behind and to have drinks at the bar. My friend was surprised at this since they are very punctual in London, I explained to her that in LA being 10-15 mins late is not a big deal. We waited 45 mins before had to notify the hostess we were still waiting to be seated. At this point I expect a manager to offer his/her apologies for the wait and comp our 2 drinks, not the case. In this caliber of restaurant I expect outstanding customer care, I am really disappointed.
Otherwise the food was good but nothing outstanding. Service was friendly and attentive at the table.

"First time back after the remodel. Great new menu. Appetizer and main entry was fantastic- however the desserts were surprisingly mediocre. Would return if they can improve the desserts. Expected more."

"We had dined at Spago several times, but not since the redecoration which is tasteful & elegant. The menu has changed too though I had the Puck special wienerschnitzel which was consistent & good. My wife had Halibut with an F. Adria foamy presentation & our guest devoured the veal chop. Appetizer salads are well dressed but our guest's asparagus soup was overwhelmed by sweet English peas. Cocoanut soufflé & blood orange sorbet for desert looked & tasted very good. The wine list is a problem. There is a one page selection by their wine advisor, which is useful. Otherwise, the book contains 1000's of listings & is useless unless you know exactly what you want. The wine prices are impressive too but consistent with this restaurant."

"Enjoyable experience at one of LA's institutions. Food was good but not amazing - I felt the cost was rather high for what it was. Simple short ribs and a lamb dish were around $40-$45 per dish. Then an additional $8-$10 for 'sides' which we were recommended. Wine list was extensive and there were some reasonable options cost wise from all over the world. Our waitress spilled a glass of water between us (me and my husband) and their 'fix' was to put a napkin over the wet patch. I would have expected slightly better handling of that situation! All in all I'm not sure this restaurant deserves the hype it receives."

"I reserved a table at Open Table and requested a table that is located in a nice area of the restaurant (I was tryin to impress a girl) but with a little privacy. Not only did they accommodated my requests, they even say us close to the fire place which made the evening even more romantic. Although we arrived late, the hostess was very polite and guided us to our table.
The service was very good. My date was very impressed with the attention she got from the servers. Our server is very knowledgable about all the ingredients and manner in which the food was prepared. He even suggested a good bottle of wine to complement our meal.
The food was certainly one of the best. The ingredients were perfect and Chef Wolfgang even stopped by."

"In my perfect dining world.. Every server would be as knowledgeable and direct as Margarite, every GM would have the passion and panache as Tracy and every Owner/Founder/Chef would have the vision and talent magnetism abilities as Wolfgang Puck. Spago is a brilliant sum of its parts. In a word: PERFECT."

"We would like to see a "simple" salad on the menu for the ladies who lunch and watch their weight. A variation of a caesar salad? Also where are desserts for the purist generation of chocoholics? No peanut butter/chocolate, fruit chocolate, just decadent chocolate."

"Solid dining experience. Of course I expected a lot going in. We basically enjoyed everything ordered. Perhaps I ordered the wrong appetizer in that I ordered a dish of sashimi which was good, but perhaps not quite what I was in the mood for. The Vienerschnitzel was quite nice though (so you can guess if I ordered a dish like Vienerschnitzel, probably didn't pair that well with sashimi). Also we had some cocktails that were a spin on a negroni and those were quite good.
Would like to try the salmon pizza sometime."
