Nua

We had an amazing birthday brunch for 9 people. The food was delicious! The espresso martini was amazing! From the shared table foods to the Israeli breakfast to the huge juicy burger & shakshuka ! Loved the pita and bagel, delivered warm and fresh ! They brought out "on the house " the best tasting halva mouse desert! Loved the service and ambiance!We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic. The hummus is to die for, one of the best we've ever had. The beats salad with greens with light and fresh. The ribeye cooked to perfection. And of course, the dessert was delightful. Alex provided top-notch service! Will be back next time we're in town !!

Due for an update as it's been almost four years since I wrote my (and apparently Nua's) first review. I didn't really eat much this go-round, but I've also been here pretty consistently over the last few years, so this is something of an aggregate review. Firstly, the ribeye is to die for, especially medium or medium rare. I've also gotten into the habit of ordering a side of the cauliflower florets to go with it, and so far I've never gone wrong with this combo. But it's a bit much for a single person when you also add the florets, so be prepared to split it unless you're routinely used to crushing 16oz ribeyes and still being hungry. Secondly, in the past four years Nua developed a bit of a reputation for being fairly secluded, at least in Rodeo Drive terms. So you'll occasionally find folks here who value their privacy. If you respect it, you'll probably get to enjoy the time you spend with them. Thirdly, Josh somehow continues to do wonders behind the bar. I trust his hand with the drinks. Fourthly, they haven't tampered much with the original Crescent Hotel styling other than swapping the furnishings, which is for the best for the moody feel it's got. I'm eternally a fan of the vibe. Fifthly, the Harira might be the value meal here. If you just need something light, it's (as of writing) $9 for a cup of brutally savory lentil chickpea tomato soup. And the deep fried pita was a surprise. Was trying to be healthy, but alas. Only drawback, but not enough for me to dock a star especially considering how much fixing this would cost: I do wish the bar was longer and could seat more people. 5 stars, even still.

I was stopping by to have a quick breakfast . I me ordered the burechas (was a lot bigger than ilI expected ) and really enjoyed it.Can't wait for my next time here.

Came for an early dinner at Nua with a friend, and would recommend this place for ambiance and drinks. There is a mix of cozy indoor/bar and outdoor seating, in a OTT glam setting. We were informed that we'd caught happy hour, which applied to cocktails and beer. Drinks were great & delicious. For food we ordered:- cauliflower florets: our favorite - a nice dressing of tahini sauce- charred eggplant: our least favorite. TBH the menu did not inform us that this dish is served cold. The date sauce made it overly sweet, and the pita that was served alongside it was very flavorless.- Shipud - This was fine. Nothing really stand out, and certainly didn't feel like it warranted the (now) $39 price. Service was friendly. The entire time we were there (a bit on the earlier evening side) it was pretty empty. Maybe for early drinks or if you're hard up for a last minute reservation in the BH area?

A really nice place - beautiful decor . Located right off of rodeo drive , this place felt very down to earth and comfy . Service was great as wellWhat we ordered :1) hummus masabacha- was very good , came slightly warm and w two fantastic pita bread . 4.2/52) arrays - a good dish as well . The meat felt very fresh and the pita bread around it was excellent . I wish the dish was a little bigger (4.1/5)3) French fries - this felt a little bit like a rip-off. 15$ for a plate of French fries ??? Also they weren't nothing to retire home about (3/5)All together a nice Mediterranean place if you're in the area and craving some Israeli cuisine

We were in the area and looking for a place with good food for lunch and found this place. It's inside a hotel. We enjoyed everything about it.We were happy to find 1hr street parking. There's also valet and free a 2hrs at the public parking garage 2 blocks away. For lunch, we ordered off the brunch menu, which is different than dinner time, but still really good. The star of the meal was the Israeli bagel. I'm not sure who the pastry chef is, but they are very talented. I may have to go back just for another bagel. The outside was perfectly firm with toasted sesame seeds. The inside was the lightest bread I've ever had. I was very happy it was the size of a loaf pan and not a typical New York bagel. The bagel came as a side with the Shakshuka. We also ordered the Borekas Sabih, a sandwich on a pastry. The flavor and texture combination was different than I have had, but it worked. It had something spicy on it, which I wasn't expecting.

Came here fore brunch and ordered three incredible dishes: Hummus Masabacha, Shuk Salad, and Arayes. The Hummus Masabacha was creamy and rich with a hint of tang, it was topped with chickpeas, herbs, eggs and a drizzle of olive oil that elevated the flavor. It paired perfectly with the fresh pita. The Shuk Salad with Chicken breast was fresh, vibrant and full of color. The Arayes, which were pita pockets stuffed with spiced meat and grilled to crispy perfection, were fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, healthy brunch.

Nua is a little gem of a restaurant located on the edge of the Beverly Hills triangle, and is attached to the Crescent Hotel. The atmosphere is very charming and whimsical, with modern art prints on the walls, chandeliers, plush velvet chairs and sofas, a fireplace, and a reflective ceiling. There is also a large outdoor dining area, and a separate bar area. The menu is on the small side but is fairly reasonably priced given the location. There is something for everyone from fish to beef to vegetarian. We shared 3 dishes: the cauliflower florets which were delicious, and the charred eggplant and the Shipud which is a skewer of chicken thighs. The latter two dishes we didn't care for. The eggplant is served cold and is covered in a sweet date syrup which overwhelms the flavor of the eggplant. The craft cocktails were fantastic. The bartender was very accommodating in making them less sweet to serve our taste. Overall, I would given Nua another try but would try some of the other dishes.

Absolutely the worst dining experience of my life. If I could burn this memory from my brain, I would. This so-called "restaurant" is a masterclass in failure on every conceivable level.First off, the service was an abomination. Our server looked like they'd been dragged in against their will--no smile, no greeting, just pure annoyance. It took forever to place an order, and even longer to get our food. When it finally arrived, I genuinely wondered if they had to go catch the ingredients themselves.The food was a complete atrocity. Bland, cold, and clearly slapped together without a shred of care. The meat tasted like it had been thawed and refrozen a hundred times, with the consistency of rubber. The vegetables were wilted and slimy, as if they'd been left out for days.To make matters worse, the prices were outrageous for what they dared to serve. I felt genuinely robbed. They should be paying people to eat this garbage, not the other way around.I wouldn't come back to this dump if my life depended on it. In fact, I'd rather starve than subject myself to this travesty again. Save your money, your time, and your sanity--stay as far away from this place as humanly possible.
