Iconic Beverly Hills destination for tableside prime rib theater with rich tradition and polished ambiance, delivering memorable beef and ceremony, but expect high prices, occasional waits, and uneven service on peak holidays.
Restaurant Summary
A grand Beverly Hills institution where the carving cart rolls and the spinning salad swirls, this room feels historic and theatrical without stuffiness. Guests praise attentive pros and classic ceremony, with one noting, "The cart show made dinner feel special." Peak nights can be hectic, but on regular evenings the experience lands as polished and nostalgic. The cooking leans classic prime rib tradition over trend-chasing. Beef is the star—tender cuts, rich jus, horseradish, and beloved sides like creamed corn and Yorkshire. Seafood and some non-beef plates get mixed feedback, but for those seeking ritual and comfort over novelty, it is a destination for ceremony as much as flavor. Families do well here: there is a kids option (even spaghetti and meatballs cited) and plenty of familiar sides. Portions are generous and the mood is celebratory, though prices are high and waits spike on holidays. If your child prefers simple foods, stick to the kid-friendly classics and plan around peak times.
