"So much about Spago should make you hate it: it feels like a hotel restaurant, is insanely expensive, and has a crowd that’s a mix of visiting businessmen, important Hollywood people, and people who’ve lived in Beverly Hills since the ’50s. And yet, even now, going to Spago is still one of the ultimate LA eating experiences. The menu has Italian and Asian influences, but the two dishes you’re really here for are the smoked salmon pizza and the spicy tuna cones. The service also makes you feel like the king of the world. You might just have to be in order to pick up the check." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"They say the classics never go out of style, and that is certainly the case with Wolfgang Puck’s kaiserschmarrn. Spago’s dessert standard is as good as ever. Reminiscent of a Dutch baby and served fresh from the skillet, the Austrian dessert is accompanied by macerated Harry’s Berries strawberries, strawberry sorbet, golden raisins, and candied almonds." - Eater Staff
"If you’ve ever seen Wolfgang Puck’s grin on a can of tomato bisque at the supermarket, thank Spago. When it opened in the 1980s, the sceney Sunset Strip spot (now located in Beverly Hills) changed how the country thought about food in LA, making Puck a superstar in the process. It might no longer be as groundbreaking as it was when angel hair pasta with goat cheese blew minds, but Spago is cruising well into middle age. The airy space looks like a movie mogul's estate and the food is still luxurious. There'll be some nice seasonal specials on the menu, but make sure to order the perennial hits like tuna tartare cones and smoked salmon pizza. Spicy tuna cones, smoked salmon pizza, wienerschnitzel, mille feuille" - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"With an upscale bar near the front for cocktails paired with large and small bites, and a main dining room dedicated to tasting menus and a la carte options, there’s something for everyone at Wolfgang Puck’s flagship restaurant, which always packs celebrities who also want great food (Taylor Swift was recently there). Don’t be surprised to see Puck himself roaming the dining room and kitchen most nights of the week." - Matthew Kang
"A long-standing California-influenced fine-dining restaurant famous for items like salmon pizza and a storied presence on the Strip." - Janna Karel
