High-Vibe Dining – Visiting LA’s Former Michelin Two-Star Spago

Today, I went to Spago with Nuomi for a belated birthday dinner 🎂. We booked a 6:30 PM slot on OpenTable. Valet parking is available for $15. The dining area is well-lit — great for food photos! 📸 Overall, the food was impressive — after all, it’s a former two-Michelin-star restaurant founded by legendary chef Wolfgang Puck — quality is guaranteed! We ordered quite a lot, but here are the standout favorites:😍👍 1️⃣ Tuna Tartare Cones I always order tuna tartare when available — and their sweet-and-sour cones paired with fresh tuna and wasabi were refreshing and delicious! 2️⃣ Lobster and Kohlrabi Salad Beautiful plating! Portion is on the smaller side, but the lobster was tender and sweet — enhanced by mint and wasabi. A winner! 3️⃣ Glazed Brussels Sprouts A small side dish I randomly added, but it turned out amazing! Miso-based glaze with juicy bacon bits — rich and savory. 4️⃣ New York Sirloin Steak We chose the 8oz steak, medium-rare — perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. The accompanying sauce was divine — full of umami! 5️⃣ Diver Scallops Scallops are a must-order for me. These came with delicious mushrooms and Warren pears — a sweet-tangy combo that worked beautifully. 6️⃣ Hearth-Baked Bread Basket A “bread gift box” for carb lovers like me! The bread in the wooden box was the best — dip it in the accompanying spread. 7️⃣ Apple Tart & Cheesecake Since it was a birthday meal, we chose photogenic desserts for writing messages.💕😘 Both were surprisingly delicious — a sweet, satisfying finish! P.S. Heard their duck breast and truffle pizza are also iconic — but we were too full this time. Next visit! #LADining #LAEats #LAPhotospots #LABirthday #LABars #LARestaurants #LACheckIn #LAMichelin
