What People Are Saying About Spago

The Scene – Yes, Wolfgang Puck is in his restaurant, usually chatting up A-list Hollywood players on the lush garden patio. The dining room is striking, with colorful tiles, vibrant stained-glass windows and wildly colorful carpets. Despite the flamboyant scene, Spago is blissfully attitude-free--even if Puck misses your table, you can still expect the red-carpet treatment. – – The Food – As Puck's flagship restaurant, Spago remains at the forefront of L.A. dining. Executive chef Lee Hefter's menu features such signature dishes as the deservedly famous salmon and…

Great menu
by kurdelicious at Citysearch
I am a super picky maybe the pickiest eater ever yet I couldn't find a single thing wrong with anything I ordered here. Had a perfect anniversary dinner recently, wine menu is extensive and the somelier is very very helpful. Waiting staff is there when you need it but they don't bother you with constant stares. And most importantly the food is just beyond perfect.
However, I think It's time for them to hire an interior designer, the place kinda looks outdated.... Its almost 2010 guys....
- Pros: everything was beyond delicious
- Cons: decor

Past its prime

Spago was once an amazing dining experience. Now it seems like the last Bastion for a bankrupt Wolfgang Puck: the food is not very good at all. Consistently over salted and watery. Deserts are better. The Dobos torte is better than its Hungarian creators could ever make. Front door person had an attitude and made us wait at the bar even thought the restaurant was half empty.
- Pros: the history
- Cons: the food and the manners

Lived up to its reputation!

My 16 year old daughter opted for a trip to California (from NY) instead of a party. Spago was on her "Bucket List." After looking at the menu on line, I thought she would be disappointed. I was WRONG! I took her and two of her friends to dinner. They had NO problem choosing appetizers and dinner! One of her friends is in cooking school and was mesmerized by the view into the kitchen! The staff could not have been friendlier! The highlight of the evening was, of course, when Wolfgang Puck came over to the table and introduced himself and chatted with the girls. He graciously took a photo with them as well.
As for the food...I had the artichoke soup and it was beyond delicious! I can honestly say...I have never tasted anything quite like it! It is a MUST have! The girls all had the risotto - my favorite - and it was outstanding! You could definitely taste the wood fired brick oven! For an entree, we had the duck - very, very good!! - the salmon - excellent! But...by far, the best was the chicken with black truffles!
We shared the cookies for dessert and they were beyond incredible! I was worried that the restaurant wouldn't live up to our expectations but it exceeded them! DEFINITELY worth the trip! And...btw...it was the best $$$ we spent for a meal in California! Worth every penny!
