Iconic Beverly Hills fine-dining with creative California cuisine, standout signatures, and polished ambiance; expect high prices, lively energy, and occasional service inconsistencies.
Restaurant Summary
Set in Beverly Hills, Spago feels warm and bustling rather than stiff. The room is sleek and lively, with a garden patio glowing from fireplaces. Service often feels polished and celebratory—one diner noted it was "the best meal of my life"—though a few nights ran slow or disjointed when busy. Signature touches and chef cameos add to the sense of occasion. The cooking leans creative Californian with global accents: tuna tartare cones, smoked salmon pizza, Singapore pepper branzino, and a standout schnitzel. Flavors are disciplined and ingredient-driven more than showy, with desserts like Kaiserschmarrn and souffle winning raves. Most plates land beautifully; occasional misses include underseasoning or a heavy signature when not shared. Families will find the vibe welcoming but the menu is geared to adventurous palates. Kid-comfort picks are limited to select pizzas, simpler pastas, and fries; much of the menu skews seafood-forward, spiced, or luxurious. For picky eaters, consider sharing a pizza and a mild pasta and confirm options with your server.
