Margarita pizza
Tara H.

Updating my review because my opinion drastically changed. I was so excited to bring my sister because I had hyped this place up from my last experience. We got there early and were told we could have a table for about an hour and 15 minutes before the next reservation, which was totally fair. We ordered everything right away since we knew we were on a time limit. After sitting for 10-15 minutes before anyone greeted us, our appetizer came out before our martinis, which took another 20 minutes. Our server was nowhere to be found most of the time, and we honestly felt forgotten. Mind you, these martinis are premade and just needed to be poured. The food and martinis are still great, but the service really disappointed us. I was honestly embarrassed after talking this place up so much. To top it off, there was an automatic 20% gratuity. I always tip 20% or more and rarely leave negative reviews, but based on the service, I don't think it was deserved this time. We ended up going somewhere else afterward for more food and drinks and had an amazing experience, so unfortunately Dante has dropped pretty low on my list of recommendations. I no longer recommend.

Very nice atmosphere and drinks were good. I came for Martini Hour ($10 martini from select list) and the dirty martini was definitely my favorite. However, I've had better dirty martinis at other places. I also got their mushroom pizza, which was really delicious. Wait staff was very pleasant. I have to say though, an automatic 20% tip while sitting at the bar is a bit over the top. Nice experience though.

Dante is an upscale rooftop restaurant and bar. It is located on the 9th floor of the Mayfair Hotel in Beverly Hills. We decided to have dinner here after our spa treatment at the hotel. The place is BEAUTIFUL, especially during sunset. Book a table for the terrace for 45 minutes before sunset and you will witness one of the most tranquil sunsets overlooking LA.. The interior is classy and elegant. While you can wear whatever you want, I do recommend dressing up a bit to be a part of the special ambiance. Service was EXCELLENT. The servers including our waiter were attentive and helpful. Sadly, the food was a bit of hit and miss for me. The Frutti De Mare (seafood pasta) was disappointing. While it had beautiful presentation and large prawns, I didn't like the flavor of this dish. I wanted a fresh taste made of fresh aromatics such as tomatoes, basil, garlic, or shallots. The sauce was made of some kind of cream and the flavor was just lacking freshness. The shrimp was overcooked, and tasted previously frozen. This dish missed the mark on flavor and texture. My sister got the pan-seared halibut and that was better. The texture of the fish was good although I didn't particularly like the flavor. The bread service was my favorite part of the meal. The bread was made in-house according to our server and it did have the perfect balance of Japanese milk bread and a sourdough. That was a WINNER! The broccolini while generous in portion was just ok both in texture, flavor and creativity. I expected higher quality in the cooking and more creativity in the flavor profile for this type of restaurant. All in all, the sunset, ambiance and service were worth the visit!

Came here for quick drinks with a friend without reservations. We were able to find a seat at the bar and eat a small appetizer! The service was quick and attentive. It was very busy this Saturday night we came The ambiance was dimly lit for dinner, busy, and loud. The restaurant was small to medium party friendly They had NA options for drinks which I ordered and my friend ordered a dirty martini

Pappardelle ragu and Diavola pizza
Mercedes J.

10/10 experience! My favorite part of the evening was the service. From the moment I walked in, everyone was warm, accommodating, and genuinely knowledgeable. I hate that I can't remember my server's name because he was phenomenal. I don't drink alcohol, but he recommended a few mocktails that were absolutely delicious. He also guided almost all of our food and dessert choices, and every recommendation was spot on. I originally made a reservation for indoor seating, but since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside by the pool. It ended up being the perfect choice. There atmosphere was relaxing, the noise level made conversation easy, and the view was beautiful. For food, we ordered the Pappardelle al Ragù, which was delicious. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked with great flavor. I wouldn't have minded a little more protein, but it was still a really enjoyable dish. We also had the Little Gem Caesar with chicken, a classic done exceptionally well. The standout, however, was the Diavola pizza. The combination of spicy soppressata with the honey drizzle was absolutely top tier, and the soft, airy crust brought everything together perfectly. It was easily my favorite dish of the meal. To drink, we had a couple of non alcoholic Cosmojitos, which were refreshing, flavorful, and a great complement to the meal. We closed out the evening with the homemade carrot cake, and wow it was the cake of my dreams. Perfectly moist, incredibly flavorful, and just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. It was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience with exceptional service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance. I can't wait to come back!

Popped up on a bustling Sunday morning with no reservation...the hostess was amazing a got us in to a patio table with an agreement thay we could finish up in 90 minutes. For the most part the service team was attentive an pleasant, brining over a stool.for my large handbag brought a smile to my face!! We worked our way though a couple of the billings (jist okay) started with the housemade banana bread served with a side of whipped ricotta and honeycomb. FABULOUS!! Breakfast was lox and bagels..the mixed schmear was everything..wanted more. We also shared the $32 BLTA..average but super fresh and wonderfully creamy chunks of avocado made the sandwich. Id go back for the views and to try their flafbreads.

This is such a dreamy spot for martini sipping with someone you have a lot to talk about with. The large low profile booths and painted dome ceiling with the massive clear view in the dining room gives such a grandiose first impression. It really feels like you're on top of the world. Came in for lunch and had delicious oysters and ragú pasta and carrots and shishito peppers and several many $10 happy hour martinis. We were celebrating my friend's bday and they brought us a tiramisu with a candle in it and prosecco!

Dante is located on the top floor of the Maybourne Hotel which is situated in a central part of Beverly Hills and consists of a large plaza with outdoor seating at the Cafe, Whisky bar, fountains and sculpture. Dante's opens up into a long dining area and a long this outdoor patio. We sat outdoors with the views and although it was a warm day, it was pleasant. I ordered the Pork Chop that was GF and we shared the following sides: BERKSHIRE PORK CHOP cannellini beans, apple mostarda & cranberry compote BROCCOLINI Sicilian olive oil & lemon (v. gf can be made vg) MIXED MUSHROOMS cremini, maitake & oyster mushrooms with garlic, shallots For dessert I couldn't indulge but my business partners shared a light Basque Cheesecake. The portions were so large I had another meal with the pork chops and sides. The pork chop was delicious with the compote of cranberry and apple mustards adding a sweet and tart taste to a very tasty chop. The sides were delicious so there were no complaints to an excellent meal with great conversation.

Mai Tai
Justin J.

Was around Rodeo and had Dante on my places to eat at most, so decided no time like the present, made a quick reservation and headed over. Rooftop spot with nice ambiance and views of the Beverly area. We were able to be seated next to the terrace, so there was a nice breeze and views to start the meal. We began with cocktails, the Pornstar 2.0 and a Mai Tai. The Pornstar is a vodka and rum based martini with guava, passion fruit, lime and vanilla. Very flavorful, just makes your mouth happy. The Mai Tai was your classic version and well balanced. Fit for, we started with the oysters. Not sure flavorful, not sure where they were from or what species of otster, but they were not memorable. For entrees, the Frutti di Mare is a pasta dish with lobster, clams, calamari and tiger prawns. Ample amounts of shellfish in the dish, but, outside of that, something felt missing with the flavor. The butternut squash agnolotti, on the other hand, was delicious. The pasta came with brown butter, hazelnut, fresh sage, lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine and black pepper. There was that great flavor from the brown butter mixed with the butternut squash, and texture with the hazelnut, with the same and lemon zest making it all pop. Just a great dish, would highly recommend it! Overall, cool rooftop spot with nice vibes and nice cocktails. A little on the pricier side as two entrees, two drinks and six oysters came to over $200. I'd skip on the oysters and Frutti di Mare but absolutely get the angolotti again.

Burrata, steak frites...
Ashley K.

We ordered the steak frites, buratta, and a pasta name which I can't remember... but the food was very good! I was very surprised & the view was so beautiful A very romantic spot worth checking out! I parked in the wrong building however so I had to pay 12 dollars The public parking is to the right of the hotel... not the BMO building parking. Oops!

Steph G.

Came here for drinks while in town. We had drinks only. The vibes were cool and the piano was playing as we sat. The service was a bit slow, but It was nice overall. We wanted to order pizza but the oven wasn't working. The $10 martinis were a hit!

10年以後,再好的相機,也拍不出現在的我們,想拍就拍,想記錄就記錄,因為不管是當下悸動的時刻,曾經美好的瞬間, 都是無法重來的~ Dine LA 到2/6截止、 這次我有認真的去了三家餐廳, 這間最遠 , 在寸土寸金的比佛利山莊,一進去的感覺,就好像我們鳳山人進了天龍國的感受?,兩個鄉下人進城了 餐廳在旅館的頂樓、 風景怡人,遠遠能眺望到Hollywood 的招牌 ,他們Dine LA 的價格是三道菜45 元,這家好處是沒亂加543 的,但帳單主動加20 % 小費上去了, 這點我是覺得還可以接受, 比加什麼 4% , 5 % 的 surcharge 好,沙拉主菜燉飯, pasta都好吃、 甜點也很好、 啥都很好、但是份量很小, 我沒有吃飽,女生可能ok , 男生是一定吃不飽的

Lyssa R.

Pros: - Service was great - Views were breathtaking - Very chill and cozy vibes at night - Blood orange mocktail was refreshing Cons: - Came here specifically for the pizza and they mentioned their oven has been out for months. I'm not sure how this isn't something they can't fix based on how much they charge for food + 20% service charge. - Wanted to order mac and cheese as a side and they told me they're not making it. - Food was good, but just okay. It wasn't anything too special.

The presentation alone was impressive when it came to the table, but more importantly, it was cooked beautifully juicy, tender, perfectly charred on the outside, and packed with flavor. Definitely made for sharing. We paired it with the street corn, which was loaded with seasoning, cheese, and just the right amount of spice. It was the perfect side to balance out such a rich steak. The Hideaway also nails the atmosphere. It's intimate, stylish, a little sexy, and feels tucked away from everything even though you're right in Beverly Hills. The whole place makes dinner feel like an experience. Great steak, great sides, beautiful setting, and a really fun night out. Definitely 5 stars for me.

I really like this place but I have to be honest about my experience. Let's start with the fact…read morethat the ambiance is beautiful. I love the vibe and the decor. When I approached the restaurant's hostess stand there was nobody there so I just waited patiently for a few moments for someone to come. A young lady entered behind me and walked past the hostess stand carrying a cake and I assumed that she was maybe already inside. But no, she walked past me and grabbed the hostess's attention as she was heading back to the hostess stand. The hostess did help her out even though she came in after me.. And I was still at the hostess stand waiting. It did kind of leave a little bit of a mark in my mind but it didn't ruin the night for me. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly. My food was good for the most part but what we ordered was not worth what I spent. I ordered the Tablita. The meat was seasoned perfectly and delicious. I also prefer a medium well steak. Several pieces of my steak were charred to the point of bitterness around the edges. My biggest issue with the Tablita is the sides are not enough to share. There was about a cup of rice and one cup of beans to split between two people. All of the sides and condiments were basically enough for one person. The grilled onions, the guacamole, the Pico and pickled onions were a great compliment to the meal, but I still don't believe the $145 price tag was worth it. I understand that this is a Mexican style steakhouse, but even at steakhouses shareable meals include shareable sides. We ordered an extra side of the Esquites and honestly, it reminded me more of corn with taco seasoning than actual street corn. Unfortunately, we didn't eat most of the corn. Also, it was my mom's birthday. I put that it was her birthday on the reservation and that was not acknowledged by anyone.. That was a little bit disappointing. Most steakhouses do some sort of a birthday acknowledgment. I can't say that the experience was completely ruined. My mom still enjoyed herself. And it was an opportunity for us to try something new. I would come back again and maybe try happy hour or tacos at the bar. But I 100% certain will never order those same items again. Bonus points for having very delicious chips and salsa and purse hooks at every table at least on the patio.

The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible. Incredible spot in Beverly Hills and more private and tucked away than some of the overly packed tourist destinations.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

I've been to the Lucky Tiki in HLP and finally had the opportunity to check out the WeHo location…read more The occasion - my "brother's" birthday. We had reservations for a Sunday night and were seated at the best table in the house. This speakeasy cocktail lounge is small & dimly lit, which creates a cozy & intimate atmosphere. The Polynesian inspired décor is on point. Bamboo beaded curtains, thatched lamps, tropical prints, & an eight-foot tiki statue add to the charm. Our server Sean was fantastic with a capital F! He entertained us the entire evening. Of course, Tiki cocktails served in kitschy glassware are the main attraction but they also offer Island inspired dishes if you are hungry. (You can also order food from Tail O' The Pup downstairs.) The building was once the recording studio for The Doors, so we had to order The Ghost of Jim Morrison. Sean delivered the flaming drink while singing a Doors tune. Elvis in Hawaii arrived on a platter with an Elvis head on it. Lucky Tiki Old Fashioned was presented in a treasure chest with smoke coming out of it. The Flying Fish came in a cool Blowfish vessel. The Lucky Mai Tai was one of the best, the Classic Daiquiri was nicely balanced, and the Rum Barrel packed a punch. All the drinks were tasty and strong so we ordered a few nibbles: Coconut Shrimp, Lucky Orange Chicken, & Wok-Fried Chow Mein. The food was yummy and hit the spot. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the presentation of the drinks and ambience. Thank you Sean for making our visit to Lucky Tiki a 5-star experience. *Metered street parking.

Only reason they aren't 5 stars? They implement seating time limits, even when it's not super busy. I 100% understand they have to have turnover, but I would gladly pay a little extra, to hold a longer reservation! Street parking, but don't drive...get a driver or a Waymo!

What's left is a joyless little room with indifferent management and service that can feel actively hostile. It can get very crowded, but... The energy is just off. It no longer feels warm or welcoming, and the type of crowd it attracts now can make the cramped space feel actually menacing. The staff also becomes strangely abrasive and aloof. Especially the younger male bartender who works on Fridays. I would never go again. Even trying to order another drink somehow feels like you're inconveniencing them. It's genuinely sad how they've managed to ruin what used to be a good thing. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this place when you could go to Cecconi's, the Tower Bar, Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis, Jones Hollywood, Laurel Hardware, Ysabel, the Roger Room, On the Rox, or Mic's instead.
