This meal was perfection personified. First of all, I'm a budget foodie and like coupons and deals. For my bday, this was a huge, memorable splurge. We had the following items: Watermelon appetizer $18 - 5/5 Brussel sprouts and kale salad $22- 5/5Mashed potatoes $12- 5/5Seared Salmon $32- 4/5Branzino $36- 5/5Pistachio soufflé $16- 5/5Chocolate profiteroles $16- 3/5Also you may get a chance to see some stars. Literally there was someone dining in the evening with sunglasses on. Her lips were a bit puffy so it might be some work done on her face? Ambiance gives fancy dining vibes for sure. Hold your wallet and be ready to treat yourself!

First off, this is a difficult review to write. I wanted to like this place, but sadly it fell short. The service is excellent, and breakfast is tasty, but the fact that they aren't open for dinner anymore, and only having the bar area open, doesn't make it worth going. Again, breakfast is good. Their bar area has a very limited menu selection. The food in the evening is terrible. Pine nuts in Caesar Salad!?!! Really??? I expected more from this establishment. If you're going to pay 5 star prices for delicious food, you will be disappointed. The Food and Beverage Director handled my situation with esteemed professionalism. As for the ambiance of the restaurant, it's elegant. They need to retool and expand their menu and be open for dinner. Food needs to improve. Enough said....

Stopped by for a bite to eat before our dinner reservations later that evening. We had been traveling and needed lunch. Most places were only offering Mother's Day brunch, but we were kindly accommodated. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant. There was outdoor seating on the patio, but I preferred inside. My husband and I shared a breakfast burrito (egg, cheese, bacon, potato and avocado with tomatillo salsa. It was delicious. The wait staff took good care of us. I look forward to eating here the next time we stop in.

I discovered this restaurant accidentally, after the rooftop was closed. What a great surprise. With high ceilings and stylish decor, you have a stunning dining experience. I say at the bar, helped by Sergio and Yasmin, both wonderful professionals! Also have a personable charm. They were great with solicited suggestions for food/drink. I love the Tuna Tartare cones, which are pleasing in every sense. The food, ambiance and service are all top rate and so glad to have dined here!

This is a wonderful restaurant inside the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. We were looking for a small bite for lunch on Mother's Day (something other than brunch) and fortunately they had an Ala carte menu here. We ordered the breakfast burrito which was fantastic. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, cheese and avocado, with a side of tomatillo salsa. It was large enough to share. I wish I had thought to take a picture of it. The cocktails are wonderful as well.

Breakfast done well with impeccable service. Quite pricey though. Beautiful setting and ambiance. You just feel rich and luxurious sitting here.

Tried this place out for breakfast only to use up the food & beverage credit from staying as a Diamond member at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills this restaurant is attached to. Service was impeccable as expected from a restaurant like this, with waiters checking in at just the right times to calling you by your names when they do check in. The American Breakfast was surprisingly very well done, as I was expecting a run of the mill breakfast plate, but what I got was very well seasoned potatoes, a great pair of sausage links, and perfectly cooked eggs. The ham & cheese croissant was a hefty portion and had a good amount of melted cheese draped over the ham. Both dishes were fantastic.The ambiance is still a little too stuffy for my tastes, especially for breakfast, but it comes with the territory. Pricing also is high, but again, it's to be expected.

Mediocre food at best. The venue is beautiful and service great but everything we ordered tasted average at best. Brussels sprout and kale salad was room temperature instead of being crisp and cold. The shrimp , wagyu filet and salmon were just ok. Was expecting so much better for such an impressive restaurant.
