Espelette Beverly Hills — Restaurant in Beverly Hills

What a great gem this was, and was pleasantly surprised by how all the boxes for everything a great restaurant should be were checked with flying colors! It was nowhere near the experiences I’ve had from the rooftop restaurant of the same Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills! My girlfriend and I went here and we were greeted by very friendly staff and we felt welcome. It was quiet and not very crowded but the ambience is beautiful and my gosh! The service was top notch! Shout out to Robert Avelino who was very knowledgeable and on point with all of his food and drinks recommendations! We did the Chef’s Choice menu and we were very glad we did! Everything in that menu was delish .. the appetizer that was the scrambled egg with caviar set the decadence of the whole evening experience! All the staff were very attentive and the assistant waiter Barnabe ( I apologize if I spelled this wrong) did an amazing job as well. The restaurant manager Shawn ( again, I apologize if I misspelled the name) made sure to stop by our table and made us felt comfortable in the whole evening. We did not feel rushed at all and we enjoyed everything thoroughly! I opted for the salmon as the main dish and it was amazing while my girlfriend opted for the wagyu. The apple tart dessert!!!!! My golly! That was the best Apple Tart I’ve had and I just came back from Paris not too long ago! Oh and let’s not forget the cocktails! Whatever we had, one that was Bourbon with egg whites was amazingly good! Parking is Valet only and it is about $20 for 3 hours.

Overall, I love this restaurant and will definitely be back here again with my family! They need to experience...

Very frustrating and disappointing with upcoming Christmas brunch event. We specifically planned and made reservation on Nov 5th, which is a month ahead for our brunch, as well prepaid $506 and they had our money for a month, now, today Billy from restaurant reservation department called and said, oh well, we have a bouquet party last min have and we will cancel your reservation, because we can! How about our planning and using our deposit for a month? And plus, only few weeks before a special Day there is no other places we wanted have reservations available on time we need, since plannings with family. Did you think about that? Nobody cares. Restaurant only cares of getting more money from bouquet, very unprofessional and disappointing. We were hoping, at least this new restaurant, because two years ago, what more upscale one instead, which one was replaced with this one, will be better and improved with customer service, but not much. For big hotel, as Astoria, it should not be happening. By the way, we a regular guest for past 15 years, but nobody seemed care or even...
