    I have been coming here for many years and the service is always consistent! I love the location by the pool, people watching is great, but you are also very secluded if you just want to keep to yourself. The menu is fabulous, you can't go wrong with anything here. The drinks are great as is the food. Everything is made to order quickly, high-quality ingredients and presented beautifully! While you can't go wrong with any of the restaurants at the Beverly Hills Hotel Hotel, this one is perfect for a summer day or a leisurely breakfast!

    Wow ok!! The BEST dining experience I've ever had! All the food was so worth it... especially the quesadilla. The cookie skillet was amazing as well. The cutest spot to eat and I have to go back soon!!!!!

    Overpriced food, low service hospitality, unpleasant dining environment. Wanted to go to Polo Lounge but there's no outdoor seating so we went down to the Cabana Cafe by the pool. It's a cool country club vibe with the iconic pink design. We didn't make a reservation but got seated quick on a Sunday afternoon for late lunch. Hostess was full of attitude as if she owns the place. Service is alright, our server gave decent recommendations for food. However it was quite difficult to look for a server, took forever for them to pick up the check. Had to walk to the counter by the entrance to check out (it's Beverly Hills Hotel..) We ordered quesadilla and poke bowl, quesadilla was good. Poke is 6.5/10, it's alright. Nothing special, overpriced. Latte is average, Matcha is decent (they use La La Land Kind Cafe matcha) The ambience is alright, nothing wow. There was a lot of flies flying around the entire time, which is quite unpleasant. Server were standard when we place the order, came back once to check up on us. But that's it, after we asked for the bill, they were gone. Overpriced food is okay for the Beverly Hotel experience, but better hospitality is expected when it comes to a 5 star hotel. How embarrassing it is when you have to seat there for at least 15 mins for them to not notice to pick up the check? Needs better training. The overall vibe is a more casual/ laid-back version of the polo lounge but it's nothing comparable. The price point is on the higher side and I'd rather just go to the polo lounge, and not having to dodge the flies. Maybe it was the staff was short, but nothing really makes me want to come back. It's a chill family spot to hang out during the weekend, if you want to be at somewhere more exclusive and chill?

    Came here for a friends birthday brunch. This place is really cute. I love the colors and theme. I will say the menu didnt have much but I guess with brunch that would be expected. We ordered the coconut with pina colada was it worth $60 no lol but was it cute yes. I think they use an aged rum and thats why. We shared the sandwhich which was good portion and actually really good and fries. They gave a complimentary chocolate cake which was so cute. Overall very cutesy and the customer service was great.

    This place is disappointing. The ambience is nice being pool side and the decor is cute but the food was all bland. The tenders were dry and had no flavor and the sandwich was also bland. The pancakes were decent and the fries were good but that's it. Overall I would not come back!

    Steak and fries

    Of course this place is iconic. We came for a quick staycation at the hotel with friends to celebrate a milestone birthday and started with lunch here on arrival. Pro's: iconic view and fun crowd, love the decor all the way down to the classic attire of the service crew. Cons: service was a bit disjointed. When we sat down we were so excited and ordered drinks (froze and golden hour) and truffle fries and hummus to start (we had a discussion with our server about hummus v guacamole). Drinks came. Golden hour was very popular and loved. The froze was fine. More of a regret on not understanding how peachy it would be. I don't love peach in drinks. We then ordered mains, hubby and I split the club sandwich and our friends split skirt steak. Our hummus and fries never came. Mains showed up maybe 15 min later. As they were serving our mains I mentioned our missing starters and was met with. Well do you still want them? We decided fries would be good with the sandwich but cancelled the hummus. Fries showed up when we were well into our meal. Mostly just didn't get eaten. The service crew was super clunky clearing one random dish at a time from our table and not seeming to be coordinated. Nobody came to check on us. Food was all very mid (6 or 7 out of 10). We ended up tracking someone down to order a second round of drinks. Drinks were all served in plastic which I suppose is for safety near the pool, just loses some of the elegance you are hoping for here. I would skip this in favor of the polo lounge.

    Having lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel was such a charming experience! I'm so glad I ordered the club sandwich--it was absolutely delicious, and I ended up eating every last bite. I swapped the salad for fresh fruit, which turned out to be a great choice. The berries were incredibly sweet and tasted like they came straight from the farmers market. A perfect meal in a beautiful setting!

    came here for brunch! we made reservations and got seated immediately, there wasn't too many people here as it was a weekday. the staff was great and they even put "congratulations" on our plate of pancakes as we were celebrating a graduation! i'm not sure if they do that usually. and they even brought an extra dessert for us on the house! food was amazing as well! highly recommend for the ambiance! *beverly sunset *pink palace healthy club *Margherita flatbread *buttermilk pancakes *side of fries *fresh coconut water

    100% overpriced for what it is but worth it for the experience IMO. We had a lovely experience here, excellent service. The food was good! It wasn't super amazing, innovative, or crazy exciting--but it was solid. It wasn't hard to book a reservation online a day before we went. Also we went around 10 am for Sunday brunch and there was a lot of open tables. ORDER: The iconic McCarthy salad (a little too shredded for my taste, but was enjoyable) The burger The hotdog Onion rings $50 pina colada with coconut shipped from Thailand We said we were splitting the burger and salad, and they kindly split it for us on different plates. We celebrated a birthday and they gave a complimentary cute pizookie with ice cream, & maraschino cherry on top! They accidentally dropped and spilled drinks near our table, we experienced minor splashing, not a big deal. But the for inconvenience they gave us chips and guac! This place is so nostalgic, it feels like you're transported back to the golden age of Hollywood. The vibe is retro glamour vacation. Would go back and would recommend!

    Piña Colada
    Veronica A.

    Had a great time at The Cabana Cafe for brunch. We tried a variety of dishes including steak and shrimp tacos, calamari, and tuna tartare. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but I definitely think this place is worth it for a nice brunch with family or friends. Service was amazing and the day was just right for an outdoor patio brunch. It was pretty busy ~ 12 pm and I definitely think making a reservation in advance is necessary. You have a nice view of the Beverly Hills Hotel pool and the surrounding area is perfect for those instagram shots. Tip: one thing you definitely need to get is the Piña colada that comes in a cute coconut! It was the perfect drink to finish off this brunch outing. Definitely can't wait to come back!

    Omelette with hash browns and toast
    Amber D.

    I've wanted to come here for years and finally got to go for a ladies brunch. The vibes here give old school Hollywood charm. The seats are a bit low. I had the omelette which came with hash browns and toast. It was pretty good but nothing super special to write home about. It tasted better than I expected. You are definitely paying for the ambiance here. Definitely someplace to try at least once if you're in LA.

    Pumpkin French toast

    Came here for brunch today and had such a great experience! The hotel itself is beautiful and so nice to walk around. The Café is by the pool so you get to walk through the hotel and see the shops. We made a reservation in advance and were seated immediately upon arriving. We sat in a booth which is usually meant for 2 but we were able to seat 4 comfortably. The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. We started with coffee and some fresh juices that tasted great! For the omelette you're able to choose 4 ingredients and it comes with bread and a side - it was delicious and a great size! We got the pumpkin French toast to share, highly recommend! The burger was cooked just right and tasted great. Will definitely be coming back!

    Is it wheelchair accessible?Like is there anything other than stairs to get to the cute patio?

    If I remember correctly, there is a ramp that gives you access to The Cabana Cafe which is next to the pool, but to be safe, I would suggest giving them a call to make sure :)

    Nestled in the heart of Beverly Hills, Nate 'n Al's isn't going to win any awards for interior…read moredesign. Old-school booths, a deli counter, and décor that basically says, "We were here before you could afford to shop on Rodeo Drive." But when it comes to the food, this place can hang with the best New York delis. And before we even ordered, out came the complimentary pickle platter--several varieties of pickles, because apparently at a real Jewish deli, amuse-bouche is French for "here's a plate of cucumbers soaking in vinegar." Sweet, sour, half-sour, crunchy--basically a pickle flight without the Beverly Hills price tag. The matzo ball soup was top-notch--soup simplicity at its finest. Rich chicken broth, a moist and tender matzo ball, noodles, and carrots. Nothing fancy, nothing reinvented, nothing served with microgreens or truffle foam. Just exactly what matzo ball soup is supposed to be. Then came our off-menu creation: corned beef and turkey with house-made coleslaw and Russian dressing on toasted sourdough. It arrived piled high enough to require FAA clearance, yet somehow the structural integrity was flawless. I ate the entire thing without a single piece of shredded cabbage escaping onto the plate. If Nate 'n Al's ever gets out of the deli business and goes into general contracting, hire them immediately. With sandwich-building skills like these, they could put up an 80-story high-rise on the San Andreas Fault and not lose a window. The atmosphere is equally authentic. A couple of the servers looked like they could have walked straight onto the set of The Sopranos without an audition. One compact, old-school Italian-looking gentleman in particular had me wondering whether my sandwich came with a side of "fuhgeddaboudit." So forego the fancy Beverly Hills lunch where your entrée arrives under a silver dome and costs about the same as a car payment. Go to Nate 'n Al's, get a real deli sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup, then walk a few steps over to Rodeo Drive and spend all the money you saved. Old school. No pretense. Serious deli. And apparently some of the finest sandwich engineering in Southern California.

This place feels very old, but it's quaint in its overall atmosphere with the booths, and the large variety of options at the deli counter. The service was nice and friendly enough, and our food was delivered quickly. We ordered potato pancakes, which were thick and crispy, but not really flavorful. The applesauce and sour cream was watered down and thin. I ordered a 'Sky High' type of sandwich, which is corned beef with thousand island (Russian) dressing, Cole slaw and Swiss cheese on rye. Again, my sandwich was ok and the potato salad was not great. Even the Russian dressing tasted watery. My lunch date had a nova lox plate 'with the works' with an everything bagel. If you order 'with the works,' it costs extra which I think is silly for tomatoes, capers, and onions- especially if those items should already be on a lox plate. Overall, I thought the food was just ok in comparison to the many delis I have been to in my life.

However, the food was kind of on the bland side. Maybe that is related to the older demographic they seem to primarily serve. Nothing was bad, but also not really of note. The inside was clean and bright- all about that Hollywood retro vibe. The weirdest thing we encountered was the parking situation. There was a lot, but the parking attendant seemed to be having a bad morning. He was actively annoyed we did not have cash. Again, considering a lot of food in that area are just chains- it was good. Just maybe not the best breakfast in LA.
