    Beautiful ambience and great host/hostess. The first time I came and had the pesto pasta which was phenomenal. The second time, however, I got the steak and it was a bit chewy. Parking cost me $3 for my 2.5 hour lunch (there are deals for first visit).

    Today I treated my best friend to high tea at the Meybourne Hotel and it didn't disappoint The tea has a very special celebrity fashion twist, with the final dessert offering of bespoke suites based off of different fashion icons. We enjoyed the quality of all of the food items as well as the tea that we had a choice of choosing from. There was so much food that they had the most adorable to go boxes for us to take home the bespoke desserts. This was located in the beautiful Terrace Restaurant and the decor and service was exceptional I definitely recommend doing this for a special occasion and recommend parking at the adjacent Canon Gardens lot versus valet at the hotel. Way more affordable and you end up in the same courtyard as the Terrace Restaurant

    Pre fixe menu for our guest

    Hmm... where do I start? I was interested in booking one of their private dining rooms, so I reached out well in advance. I have to say the communication leading up to the event was pretty disappointing. I sent emails, called multiple times, and often got no response. I eventually found out that only certain people handled private event bookings, but getting in touch with them was a challenge. Every time I called the hotel, I was told they had sent the events team a message. Even after I finally secured the reservation and paid the deposit, I still had questions that went unanswered. In fact, some of them weren't addressed until the night before the event, which was pretty stressful when you're trying to coordinate a special occasion. For a hotel that markets itself as a luxury 5-star property, I honestly expected much better communication and customer service. The booking process definitely did not feel like a 5-star experience. That said, once the day of the event arrived, everything went much more smoothly. The service during dinner was good, and the staff took care of us well. We had a prix fixe menu for our guests. I had the steak, which was cooked really well, and the tiramisu was a nice way to end the meal. Most importantly, everyone had a great time, which is what mattered in the end. One tip if you're planning to come here: there's an underground public parking garage right next to the hotel that's much cheaper than using the valet. Overall, the food and service on the day of the event helped make up for a lot of the frustration beforehand. I just wish the communication and event planning process matched the standard that The Maybourne advertises.

    Menu- very pretty, hard cover

    Good vibes, good food, bad value. The views were really nice and had good ambience and the food tasted great. However, I got the Cod and for something that's half the size of my hand, the cost being $40 was definitely a lil much for me. If you don't care about price, it's pretty nice place to go!

    I enjoyed the overall experience having a lunch here on a beautiful day. I love that you can sit outside. We ubered here but the parking looks difficult; would recommend parking at the free Beverly Hills lots and walking over. The steak frites was okay, it was a little bit tough and even with the sauce it lacked flavor. The fries were also okay, but were too soft / large in my opinion... The servers were kind, but it was quite a slow experience. I think I would've enjoyed more if we came for a casual lunch, but I was in a rush to get back to work which made the experience not as fun :(

    Complimentary monkey bread

    This place is located inside The Maybourne Hotel. There is a valet parking (though it's expensive, even with it being validated). There is a public parking garage right next door if you want to try that first. Service is warm and friendly. Everyone was so nice, attentive and helpful. We were able to sit outside thanks to making reservations online the night before. It's a very relaxing, welcoming and intimate setting. Started with the complimentary monkey bread -- it is so soft and fluffy and the topping is pure deliciousness. I think it's the butterscotch topping that goes with their popular pancakes. The monkey bread was wonderful! Ordered the pancake with butterscotch and it does not disappoint. $ large, hot pancakes drenched in butterscotch and a nice big disk of butter. It also comes with maple syrup and more butter and 3 different types of jam. Very nice Got the Hobbs smoked pastrami which comes with 2 poached eggs. Very solid, hearty and filling breakfast. Wonderful sourdough toast, sauteed green and red peppers with red onions and generous slices of pastrami. Also comes with perfectly crisp baby potatoes - so good. Ordered the fruit platter as well and the pineapple was the sweetest of the fruits. The rest were less sweet and only ok as they are not really in season - raspberry, blackberry, blueberries, strawberries, apples, honeydew, watermelon and cantaloupe. They all looked pristine, but just not sweet o r ripe just yet. I assume in summer, it'd be amazing! Couldn't help it and also ordered shoestring fries and they were perfect! if you like shoestring fries, order them! Had the pear orchard matcha (light, subtle pear flavor) and oxaxan latte (robust and tasty). Tip is automatically included at 20%

    The Best Parts: 1. Outside seating is beautiful. Then again, you're essentially enjoying Beverly Cañon Gardens, which is a public park so you can enjoy the atmosphere without being a patron of the restaurant. 2. Staff is very professional and nice. There were some order mistakes but because the staff was constantly checking in, all the mistakes were corrected relatively quick. The menu is expansive and I liked that during weekend brunch time, you could still order non-brunch/breakfast items. But everything just tasted o-k. Also, wish they'd swap out the chairs with regular dining chairs. Either the chairs are too high or the tables are short. You end up awkwardly hunching because the chairs and tables do not go together.

    Croque madame
    Iren T.

    I had breakfast at this restaurant and can confidently say it was one of the worst breakfast experiences in Los Angeles. We ordered the truffle eggs Benedict and the croque madame, and calling the meal disappointing would be an understatement. The presentation alone looked careless and unappetizing -- shocking for dishes at this price point. When you charge $40 for eggs Benedict, expectations naturally rise. One expects not only quality ingredients and flavor, but refinement and attention to detail. Instead, what arrived looked rushed and poorly executed. The croque madame was somehow even more baffling: the egg managed to be both undercooked and overcooked at the same time -- a culinary contradiction I didn't think was possible. The textures were off, the balance was unpleasant, and nothing on the plate justified the premium pricing. And to complete the experience, the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service charge to the bill, regardless of the quality of service or food. An unfortunate ending to an already deeply disappointing breakfast.

    Apple tart
    Kat A.

    The apple tart was great!! There's no crust but it's the right amount of sweetness. The frozen vanilla soufflé I would skip. Portions good for sharing. Service is attentive. Ambiance is stunning over the holidays outdoor patio with heat lamps and holiday lights decor

    Filet- perrrrrrrrfection!!
    Ashley S.

    Perfection! Had an early dinner before a show and sat outside on a lovely spring day. Vibes were high! Had an espresso martini and wine. Yummy! I had the Filet- impeccable! My cousin had the Corn Agnolottie and she liked it. I'd eat there any day! I wish I remember our servers name because he was delightful. She attentive and helpful and kind.

    Everything about The Terrace at the Maybourne Hotel was fantastic on my recent visit. You can sit inside or outside. We chose outside as it was a beautiful evening, and the seating area is situated in a green park-like area surrounded by trees. Our server David could not have been more professional, helpful or friendly. He answered all our questions about the menu and the cocktails and helped us decide what to order. Everything we had was outstanding. The beet salad was a work of art, with golden, red and rainbow beets beautifully presented along with dates and walnuts. The whole branzino was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, and served with a grilled lemon. The duck was some of the best we've had, not fatty or greasy but rather plump and meaty. The old fashioned cocktail was made with pandan, which is a SE Asian leaf. The pandan gave it a unique flavor. I love the use of unusual ingredients. The Terrace is worth the splurge, and I will definitely be back to try the scallops and other menu items.

    Saira S.

    Stellar brunch ambiance in a peaceful courtyard! Great for a get together with friends or family. Service is kind and attentive. Food is above average and they offer sweet complimentary maki bread to start. The corn pasta, huevos rancheros, and classic terrace burger were delicious!

    Croque Madam
    Jeremy B.

    I took my mother and her friend for brunch at the Terrace last weekend. I wanted to do something special for them since the food at their retirement home is terrible. This was the perfect choice. The weather was ideal for sitting outside. All of the wait staff doted on us, particularly our waiter Brian who treated the ladies like royalty. They absolutely adored him. The Terrace has the most unusual croque madam. I had to take a picture of it.

    Pancakes!  The best I ever had!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at The Belvedere was disappointing enough that I…read morefeel compelled to share it. I visited with my friend and younger sister, and from the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome. We were ignored by the hostess upon entering, waited an unusually long time just to receive water, and were never offered bread despite seeing other tables receive it shortly after being seated. The most frustrating part was the excessive wait for our meals. Multiple parties who were seated after us received their food before we did. When we politely asked our server for an update, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. We were simply told, "It'll be a few minutes, it's getting plated," in a dismissive manner. Throughout the meal, our server never checked on our table, never asked how the food was, and never returned to see if we needed anything. We ultimately had to flag someone down just to request the check. I understand that restaurants have busy periods and delays happen, even though at the time it was not busy at all. What was disappointing was the complete lack of hospitality, communication, and basic attentiveness that one would expect from a restaurant operating within a five-star Beverly Hills hotel. The service we received was noticeably different from what we observed at surrounding tables. As young guests who were respectfully dressed, polite, and paying customers, we left feeling as though we were not valued or taken seriously. Whether intentional or not, the experience made us feel overlooked and treated as though we were somehow less deserving of the same level of service afforded to others. The food itself was not enough to make up for the experience. Given the prices, reputation, and setting, I expected professionalism and hospitality. Unfortunately, this was one of the poorest service experiences I have had at any restaurant, and certainly the worst I have experienced at a property of this caliber.

We held back on the tomahawk only bc, again, hotel restaurant, so I just went with a filet but it was probably one of the best filets I've had. The mashed potato that came with it was.. meh. But everything else was good. My fav was the corn agnolotti. I had three of the caviar bites and I could have had ten. It was incredible. Our server, Sergio, was adorable. Charming, sweet. The server assistant (don't know name) was so cute too. Truly, I'm picky af when it comes to service but Sergio and his team did great. Food was so good.

The Little Door is known for their gorgeous outdoor seating under twinkly lights but be aware you cannot garuntee a spot there - only request. We had reservations on a Sunday night and they were fairly busy around 7pm. We were taken to the back seating area which is indoor. I appreciate that they have the option of a personalized dinner menu which is what my partner got for me, and they even bring you a large envelope so you can take the menu home. It took us some time to be greeted by our waitress. I felt the service was lacking. She was nice, but I felt like we were often forgotten. For our drinks I had a cucumber gin martini and my partner had the Casanova. Both were delicious! For our appetizer, we ordered the Piri-Piri shrimp. It was 4 pieces of shrimp lined up with small circles of flatbread in between each piece, seated on top of a smoky and flavorful sauce. We both loved it! For our main meal we ordered the couscous "Royale," fresh Papardelle pasta, and roasted carrots. The couscous came with one lamp chop, stewed lamb, merguez, and chicken - with a side of sliced almonds and dried apricot for topping, extra lamb stew sauce, and the most incredible harissa. I absolutely loved this dish, it was so flavorful. The pasta was a solid dish as well, and the roasted carrots were also fantastic. For dessert, we ordered the lava cake and I had Moroccan mint tea. The lava cake was well balanced with flavor and not overly sweet. The tea was fragrant, sweet, and the best way to end the meal. Overall I had a nice first experience at The Little Door. I don't think there's much left on the menu that I would want to try. I would love if they added more Moroccan-inspired dishes to the menu to make them stand out! But I feel like I would still come back, and I recommend it as a place for date night or to celebrate a birthday.

However, no photos allowed and I respected the rules of the restaurant. So let me have my words do the photographic build up for Olivetta. We were headed to valet ($20) and somehow lucked into getting one of the very few parking spots right out front, score. We were warmly greeted and walked to our reservation immediately, walking by a rowdy gen x party at the bar adorned in cowboy hats & wanna-be influencers at nearly every table. It's so pretty inside, each room a little different but equally awe inspiring. I loved the vibe and my seat was perfectly placed in front of a giant mirror. My avoidant self did not have to view my reflection, but rather it was like a TV showing me all the hustle and bustle of the restaurant as diners shuffled back and forth to their seats. Watching the crowd was fun. Classy, range of ages, range of demographics but everyone is LA cool. You can be who you want here and Olivetta exemplifies that under their beautiful exterior. We had a perfect server by the way, very friendly and gave just the right level of service, not too much, not too little, just what I like, like I'm Goldilocks of Yelp LA Dining. We started with the squash blossoms, maybe regrettably so, as we had a hard time choosing an app. I'll try something else next time as they underwhelmed me. A nice crisp on the flowers but the stems were a bit much and I just found this dish to be aiight. Now the pastas I absolutely loved. We tried two and just adored them both. I was actually surprised at how good the portions were for such a classy, cute place. The Creste di Gallo was a sensation for the eyes and mouth, with a fun tableside creation of this dish. There's a generous shaving of cheese and delectable bone marrow in the dish, really great flavor and consistency. The Agnolotti was equally, if not even more, creamy and delicious. I was so full but could not stop eating this rich sauce over sage cream sauce and dried sage leaves. The roasted carrots were a nice accompaniment with our meal over a puffed feta bed sprinkled generously with pistachio and dill. Despite being full, we were still able to get through about half of the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake which was fluffy and soft with a chocolate ganache to pour over the top. I wouldn't have minded if this came with gelato or ice cream, just a tad but it was still a solid dessert. I do wish they had some non-alcoholic items like hot tea or coffee or espresso to go with dessert, they only had alcoholic offerings. Prior to beginning dinner, we did order some drinks. They had 3 Mocktails on their menu and were out of 1, so my friend and I ordered the only 2 mocktails ($16 a pop) options on offer. We found them okay - just fine, but wished they were excellent or more NA options were available & more care was intended for those of us who are Cali sober. Other than drinks though, I absolutely loved Olivetta. I'll absolutely be back to try more on the menu and I'm sitting here craving the Agnolotti, omggggggg it was so bomb. I def will be copping that dish again.

    The Bottom Line 4.5 stars: Highly recommended culinary destination. A few reservations as noted…read morebelow. Location 4 stars: On the east side of South LaBrea Ave between Wilshire and 6th street. Paid valet parking next to the venue. There is also limited metered street parking and third party paid parking lots. Venue 5 stars: Beautiful, charming historical building originally designed in 1928 by architect Roy Seldon Price for Charlie Chaplin as a mixed office/store complex. More recently it housed LaBrea Bakery and the Campanile Restaurant before Republique opened in 2013. A few outdoor tables as well as many indoor community and private standard and high tables, and a full bar. There are also some seating upstairs, sometimes reserved for private groups. They in fact operate two distinct Republique restaurants here. Morning to 2 PM they serve breakfast and lunch and bakery items. It's a more casual order-at-the-counter-and-they-bring-it-to your table set-up. At night it's a formal sit-down restaurant. Republique has become a huge tourist spot and you see a lot of international visitors there. Billing 1 star: They charge a 4% surcharge up and above the prices on the menu. I find this confusing and misleading. Why not simply reflect this in your prices? Service 4 stars: Polite and to the point. Food 4 stars: New American fare with French influences. I have only been there for breakfast and lunch and cannot rate the fancier dinner items. My favorites are the Lobster Omelet, the Mushroom Toast and the Croque Madame. I found the Eggs Benedict and the Steak Frites a bit underwhelming. The Eggs Benedict lacked flavor and the steak was a little tough and chewy... I also felt that the Fingerling Potatoes and the French Fries were way too salty. Drinks 4 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and coffee/matcha. No mainstream soft drinks. I have had the Ube Coconut Matcha Latte (it was overwhelmingly sweet!), the Tiramisu (it's a drink! delicious), the Green Shake (smoothie, quite good) and the hot Cappuccino (ok). Serving sizes are on the smaller size.

    One of very few elite dining spots in the heart of LA. Only 14 seatings per night so you can…read moreimagine how difficult securing a reservation could be. Still cannot believe we were able to join the small community of people that had the honor to experience the artistry of chef Aitor Zabala and his remarkable team. Somni presents a 24-course, carefully curated tasting menu. Only one seating per night and dinner usually runs about four hours long. Doors open right at 7:30 pm and you are seated in the garden where you will receive a welcome drink (Tokyo fizz which is a Japanese sake/yuzu cocktail) and about 6 small bites that range from sweet to savory. This allows us to sit and relax for about 20 minutes before being escorted into the main dining hall. Dinner is served from a counter top so you have the opportunity to watch each dish come to creation. I personally love this interaction. You are served about 12 main courses expertly composed with Iberico pork, Dungeness crab, mussels, Chutoro and Bone marrow, beef tartare, and fresh garden herbs & botanical elements. My top FAVORITES were the Shiso puff tartare (Best dish hands down), Gazpacho blanco, and the Iberico pork. Very filling. Finally, dinner concludes with tea/coffee and 6 small bites of fruity gel, choc donut, and sorbet. Each course captivates your senses with its vibrant presentation, alluring aromatics, complex textures, and remarkable depth of flavors. Every bite was unique and lingered beautifully on the palate. Would love to come back again. Curious to try their fall and winter menu. Without a doubt, Somni is deserving of each of their stars

    I wanted to enjoy this place. I was looking forward to it. What I ordered:…read more Solyanka- this was a very good soup. Nice flavors and well balanced. Chicken Piroshki - I Bit into this and they were literally frozen still on the inside. Now, this was a huge letdown and really ruined the vibe of the rest of my meal. First of all, they freeze their food so it's not made to order which is common, I guess....but how do you serve still frozen food?! Beef Cutlet with mashed potatoes and pickles - This was tasty. I enjoyed it. Potato Pierogi - these were very bland. Not much flavor at all. There was also literally no one in the restaurant. It was a Wednesday night so I guess it's slow, but that also is telling. The server was very nice and helpful. She felt very bad about the piroshki. The vibe of the restaurant I can't place. Why are their records? It doesn't seem like a Music theme...it didn't make sense to me. Overall I was disappointed and am still searching for amazing Russian food in the area.

The food is so fresh and homemade and gives you a true taste of Russian/Ukrainian food! Our go-to's are always the Borscht soup, Darniskty Salad, Pelmeni, and Chicken Tabaka. They also always bring out some fresh Russian bread for FREE and they are super giving on the portion. The soup is a 10/10, reminds me of the Hong-Kong style borscht soup. Comforting, healthy, and hearty! The salad is by far the major reason I keep coming back. The dill, fresh tomato slices, salty onion, and cucumber with a little zest is so tasty and again super healthy! The pelmeni and tabaka are classics you can never go wrong with. The pelmeni also reminds me of Chinese pork dumplings and are absolutely delicious with their fresh sour cream dipping sauce. Our recent visit, we were sat on the exterior part of their restaurant and it was a bit chilly and windy so the owner provided me and my partner blankets! How sweet and thoughtful. Service is super friendly, just be mindful that it can be a little slow occasionally depending on reserved parties that day.

When we arrived there were options for indoor or outdoor but we prefer to sit inside. You can order using the QR code or through the server. I ordered chai latte and my son got mocha latte, for food we ordered 2 items to share - breakfast quesadillas and brunch carbonara. The brunch carbonara is my choice as I liked that it uses Arborio rice and all the elements of a carbonara but what elevated the dish was the green sauce all around the plate so you can mix it. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and placed on top so you can imagine it soaked up on the rice. Very filling! I switched plates with my son and he also liked my order. If I were to recreate this at home I'll definitely put more bacon. In The breakfast quesadilla is also flavorful and it comes with 3 sauces. I only tasted it but we had this to go as it was also a huge serving. The drinks are good value the price. Overall experience here better than the Tarzana location (which is now closed). Note that this is a semi self service place which is why they adjusted their options for tip. We ordered via the QR code so we paid before we got the service. We left around 11:30 and the restaurant is now full and had a longer wait time.
