First off, wasn’t hard to find parking since they do valet plus have a driveway for the entrance into the hotel. All the food we got was delicious (my wife got the rack of lambs and I ordered the eye of the Tiger steak). Also we ordered the wagyu sliders, oysters for starters, got mash potatoes purée and Brussel sprout as our sides. The sides are good option for 2 people. The drinks were good. The service was amazing our server was very informative about the different entrees on the meal plus the cut of the meats. All the workers for CUT were very professional and polite. It was our first time dining in at this restaurant and would come back most definitely. Highly recommend this place.

Wasn’t clear that entire group must order the Winter menu or everyone orders from the menu. Wine pairings were nice but not exceptional and explanation by the Sommelier was rushed. Was on the bucket list and now is done. Probably won’t repeat.

One of the best dining experiences in memory, Spago lived up to the hype. The ambiance was amazing as we were seated in the atrium. The menu was full of excellent options. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive. The cocktails were masterful creations blended with care. Far too often craft cocktails are too heavy on the alcohol that overpowers the combination of flavors, but at Spago they were perfect. Our dishes were incredible without a single sour note as each dish topped the last and kept us engaged. Strongly recooking Spago, and it will be part of our every trip to LA.

Food was incredible! Perfect place for a cute dinner with friends or a date night. Drinks were good and definitely strong, but no complaints on that. Service was good, our server lagged a bit at the end but the majority of the time he was quick and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Great, unique, menu. Our server Jared guided us through all of our questions and our choices were excellent. Radicchio endive salad was more than enough for 2. Pinot Grigio paired well with the bacon cheddar biscuits and mussels. Skirt steak was tender and cooked perfect. Loved the family style shareable menu and would highly recommend.

As always, the best! The food is incredible. The inventiveness and the flavors (oysters, lobster, french fried spinach, thai curry, incredible desserts) are the best you will ever have. The staff is so welcoming, excellent, friendly and knowledgable, I wish I could eat here every night.

Such a unique and flavorful sushi style! My husband and I absolutely loved every single dish we ordered. It doesn't compare to traditional sushi at all. We were blown away by the explosion of flavors in every bite. We'll definitely be bringing our friends in to share the experience soon.

The food was AMAZING!!! Beautifully fresh food that was prepared with the utmost care and precision. The owner Jason was so friendly and welcoming. The plate sizes were perfect. Just the right amount. The sea bass was to die for and the wagyu filet was amazing. I would recommend getting a selection from each course, for the opportunity to enjoy ALL the amazing flavors. We will absolutely be back again.

We live are locals and finally made it to Rebel Omakase. After reading a review I was concerned about my tuna allergy. Staff was very professional & confirmed it, prepared incredible alternate foods without a second thought. Every course my partner and I would lock eyes before doing a small happy dance. To my surprise they even carried my favorite beer from when I was stationed in Okinawa, Orion beer. Great meal & we'll add it to our S tier rotations in the city.

Our waiter was absolutely amazing and both him and our hostess wished us a happy anniversary with dessert that was absolutely fantastic. The food was phenomenal took the waiters advice with the Delmonico steak and Milky Way dessert. We ordered the grilled artichoke which was stellar and perhaps the best we’ve ever had. As a foodie I would absolutely come back every bit of this first time visit was spectacular. Thank you and the old fashion variations were amazing

A very nice restaurant to try out some famous desi dishes with a twist. However, there are not many vegetarian options. As a vegetarian I recommend Paneer Tikka, Paneer Kadhai (upon request, in the menu as Chicken Kadhai) and Dal Bukhara. The Dal Bukhara was very authentic and the Paneer Kadhai was just different and lovely. The service at the restaurant is amazing (kudos to Hadi), very polite, sweet, accommodating and quick. Do try the Chai Cutting to tie the bow on the amazing meal that you will have here.
