    Novikov is an elevated Mediterranean restaurant in Beverly Hills. The large potted trees throughout the restaurants gives vibes of dining in Greek vineyard. There's seafood, produce and bread in the back that shows the fresh daily ingredients. Beverly Hills Parking lot underneath the restaurant with 2 hr free parking before 6pm. For the food: The set lunch menu is one of the best values in Beverly Hills. The Borscht is delicious with rich beet flavor. The branzino is an upcharge, but well worth it. It's one of their signature dishes. The panna cotta is light and creamy. I'd happily go back for lunch after an appointment.

    We went to Novikov last night with my wife and another couple, and we honestly enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere is amazing. It feels luxurious and elegant, but at the same time lively and fun, almost like a restaurant and a party in one place. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Everything we ordered for the table was delicious and prepared at a very high level. The truffle risotto was absolutely perfect, the pasta was excellent, and the bluefin tuna tartare was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We shared several dishes, and there wasn't one thing on the table that we didn't enjoy. Great food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere made it a really special night. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Novikov to anyone looking for a great dinner and a fun night out.

    I enjoyed lunch here with a friend. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and reminded me of Italy. The staff were amazing; our server, Nancy, was a sweetheart, very friendly, and professional. The food was delicious, and I would recommend the tasting menu with an appetizer, entree, and dessert, as it was definitely worth it. I love their fresh farm-to-table aesthetic and food display. I had the Bolognese noodles and my friend ordered the risotto, and everything was delicious especially the deserts This is probably one of the most beautiful restaurants I have visited in Beverly Hills.

    The food here is absolutely excellent, and the service is just as impressive. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but you're in Beverly Hills, and you truly get what you pay for. Every dish feels high quality, and the overall experience is worth it. The truffle pizza is a must order. It's genuinely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The lunch special is also fantastic and offers great value. If you're coming here, you have to get the pasta served in the cheese wheel and add truffle. It's unforgettable. This is the kind of place everyone should experience at least once. The atmosphere, service, and food are all top tier. It will always be one of my go to spots for brunch.

    My friends and I had a wonderful lunch experience here. A beautiful place with elegant decor, beautiful furniture, and nice cutlery - everything here says refined luxury. But the $39 (at this writing) 3-course lunch special was a fantastic deal -- not just the super reasonable price, but the food quality! Since there were five of us, we had almost every combination of their (quite extensive) menu. From appetizers, to main course, to dessert, every item was impressive! Service was impeccable! Our waitress was cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was quite busy when we came but our orders showed up very quickly -- now, a lot of people (from the front line to the back kitchen) had to have work very hard for that to happen! And my hat off to them all. From my foodie friends who had been here many times, most of things on their menu are good, but the seafoods are especially good, which I can attest to based on the salmon tartar, seabass, and other fish we had that day. The desserts were phenomenal! See pictures... The burger-shaped Tiramisu looked great and tasted great. The lemon sorbet was rich but refreshing.... At my foodie friend's recommendation, we order an extra dessert -- the awesome looking and massive Napoleon! If you like to admire your food before you eat it, this one might please you. Overall, a great dining experience and I'm planning more gatherings there as I write....

    Novikov is a luxurious, elegant, impressive experience. When you walk in you'll notice white table cloths, olive trees, a fully decked out bar, a wine cellar, an open kitchen with farmer's market veggies for sale and a cosmopolitan crowd. It has a European feel to it. A place where you don't just eat, you "dine" and where lunch or dinner is an "event". The staff was extremely kind and welcoming. I felt well taken care of. The table we got was just perfect. Exactly what I had asked for when making a reservation. The music was delightful and a good, soft background volume. They played songs in different languages and also an oldie but goodie favorite of mine "Mambo Italiano". I was offered a purse rest for my purse. Such a nice gesture. I did not know such a luxury existed! I love that they offer this feature for the ladies. We came for lunch during a holiday weekend to celebrate a special occasion and the place was packed. We ordered from the three course prix fixe menu which is an excellent deal. I ordered the gazpacho soup which was one of the soups of the day. It was one of three soups that were offered. I ordered it because it had a vegetarian broth. The presentation was beautiful. It was served on a cutting board with a side of garlic bread. I'm so glad I chose this soup. It was delicious! My dining companion got the minestrone soup. It was served in a cast iron dish. A nice presentation. I was told it was also very good! For the main course I got the fish of the day. It was sea bass. It was served butterfly style. The fish was so tasty. I loved how perfectly cooked it was. It flaked when I put my fork on it and melted in my mouth. There was some tasty green sauce lightly drizzled on the side too. A perfect accompaniment to the delicate fish. I noticed a lot of people ordering this dish around me. My dining partner liked the branzino they ordered. For dessert I got the tiramisu and my dining companion got the lemon sorbet. The tiramisu is also a popular choice here. I saw it being carried around to lots of tables. It was soft and flavorful. I love the sweet coffee flavor and the spongy lady fingers. My dining companion's sorbet was also deliciously sour. It was served in a lemon which was a treat for the eyes! Both drastically different desserts. Both excellent. Overall, our visit to Novikov was fantastic! I had never heard of the restaurant before discovering the Beverly Hills location but apparently it is an international brand. I believe the original location is in London. Novikov is the last name of the restauranteur responsible for these restaurants. This is a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion. Also, of note, is that they have a party room in the back. Valet parking, street parking, and free parking lots close by.

    Wow! Third time's a charm. My first visit was for a bridal shower where we rented a private room and had a pre fixed menu, which honestly didn't leave much of an impression. The second time, we stopped in mainly for drinks and appetizers. This visit, however, was all about exploring the menu, and I'm so glad we did. The bruschetta was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. The truffle pasta was easily the star of the show, rich, packed with flavor, and a perfect portion size. The prawns were cooked beautifully, and the sauce elevated the dish even more. For dessert, we ordered the fruit topped specialty, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the evening. What continues to stand out every time is the service. From the busers to the food runners and servers, everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The hospitality here is consistently top notch. The vibe is what initially kept me coming back, but now the food has officially won me over too. Looking forward to returning and working my way through the rest of the menu.

    It seems my 1st review was taken down. That's fine, here is my 2nd review and this time, they didn't turn us away at the door. Of course atmosphere is modern, clean, display of fresh veggies, and seafood. But did they execute? 21 Oz rib eye, ask for medium rare- came out medium well. Didn't bother to send it back. Flavor is good, but not something I would come back for. Langostines, we had them as appetizers. 5 pieces, pretty pricey, but wasn't cooked to correctly. 2/5 were cooked perfectly. The other 3 were mush. Just mush. No flavor, deff not worth $100 Oysters were good. Greek salad was prob the highlight of the meal. Drinks their spicy Paloma tastes like simple syrup. No spice, no citrus taste.

    Atmosphere is chic and modern, bright and clean. Their coffee and cocktails are delicious, they have DJs during the weekend and special events. Our bartender Luigi made this hibiscus cocktail, it is refreshing and crisp with a tart finish! This review is for the bar and cafe, their cocktail menu is nicely curated with wide options. Alcohol here is not watered down, bartenders are helpful with recommendations.

    Valet takes your car the moment you arrive, and from there the experience only gets better. The restaurant is beautifully designed, the live music creates the perfect atmosphere without being too loud, and every dish is thoughtfully balanced. And the Florentine steak? I honestly don't know another place in Los Angeles where I can order one this good. Great food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Let's support America's small businesses!

    Great tasty dishes! - even the salad was amazing! You can tell it was a simple dressing, yet so fresh and flavorful! Oh and don't get me started on the mushroom pasta- think I inhaled that dish! Drinks were also top notch! Kaz our waiter was so nice and attentive. I wish to request him next time I come back. Really nice decor; although it was pretty loud I understand my party was next to the bar.

    *Novikov Napoleon. The best I've ever had.
    Armen A.

    From the moment we arrived I got a great vibe from the outdoorsy Mediterranean scene. The place was packed with a lot of high end looking people and drinks were flowing and conversations and table side foods being made! We were seated right near the street on the patio. Ordered the eggplant parm tableside, salmon dish, the napoleon and a cappuccino! The service was outstanding! The food tasted great and the energy of the place was awesome. Very expensive and overpriced though. Will def go back on a special occasion!

Once we mentioned that we were there for the Girls Brunch, it honestly felt like the demeanor toward our table changed. The service was extremely slow. We waited around 30 minutes between some of the food items, our drinks were forgotten, and we were rarely checked on throughout the meal. I'm usually pretty understanding when restaurants are busy or short-staffed, but that didn't seem to be the case during our visit. Between the long waits, forgotten drinks, and lack of even a simple "How is everything?", the experience became frustrating, especially since we were there to celebrate birthdays. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were mediocre as well, so the overall experience just didn't feel worth the time. I really wanted to enjoy this place and the Girls Brunch seemed like such a fun idea, but based on our experience, I unfortunately won't be returning.

    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.

    This is a secret LA experience not to be missed!! Tucked…read moreabove the Tail o'the Pup hot dog restaurant, this place is a treasure of a tiki hideaway waiting to be discovered. The secret entrance is a ton of fun and the ambience is dark and mysterious and transports you to a land far away, all while not leaving LA. The drinks are spectacularly delicious and innovative. There is a theme (and entire experience) to each drink. The food is likewise excellent. The hot dogs from Tail o'the Pup are some of the best in the city and you can order directly from the downstairs hot spot, or order from the tailored menu to fit the tiki theme. The wait staff was super attentive. This is a great date spot or somewhere to come with friends. Just remember to book your reservations on Resy and then check the website for knowledge on how to get into the secret entrance. This is a top experience in LA!

    This has become one of our go to spots before going out to Pantages for our season tickets--enough…read morethat the bartenders called us regulars last time. I love a tiki bar (usually a wine drinker, but a dry martini or a good tiki drink, will speak to me at times!) and this place does not disappoint. Service is easy and the vibes are so fun. They have fun gimmicky drinks (Captain's Inner Circle!) and the old stand bys (exceptional Mai Thai.) The decor is also so fun (Jim Morrison's old studio) and you can order hot dogs from downstairs. 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!

    came here last night to celebrate my dad's birthday and had such a great experience. the food was…read moreA1, but what really made the night was the service. great food is one thing, but when the hospitality matches it, it really takes the entire experience to another level! we ordered the garlic bread, steak tartare, spicy margaritas, the Last Word, broccolini, baked potato, japanese caesar and the rustic ribeye. there ended up being an issue in the kitchen and a few of the items we originally ordered weren't available, but the manager was incredibly attentive and handled everything so well. we substituted the rustic ribeye and broccolini with the 13-14 oz ribeye, cream spinach & braised beef chuck. honestly, no complaints! ribeye was cooked perfectly, buttery and tender, and the braised beef chuck literally melted in our mouths. there wasn't a single leftover. cocktails were super good, we ended up ordering two of each. we loved our server, he was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive throughout the entire dinner. overall, very pleased. great food, even better hospitality! appreciate a team that knows how to turn a small hiccup into a really positive experience. we left very happy and will absolutely be back.

    Where do all the locals go? Well, the Bar Next Door is a great place! Nice, clean and…read morefriendly... Their craft cocktail menu is extensive, interesting and delicious. The restrooms are clean and cute Parking is slim to none! What do you expect? It's on the Sunset Strip. I can't speak to the food as we stopped in for a quick beverage before heading down the road for our dinner... But what they were serving to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. It's small. Grab a seat at the bar (which is really about it...) and start your journey to the craft cocktails with one of their friendly staff and bartenders. Be there or be square

    The whole mythology of this place being a "neighborhood gem" is officially dead. Whatever charm it…read moreonce had has completely evaporated. 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. The name a few! Any one of them will give you a better room, a better atmosphere, and a much better evening. TBH, I would rather endure the mechanical-bull chaos of Saddle Ranch than spend another night dealing with the bizarre vibe here. That alone should tell you everything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
