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 creme fraiche pizza. Using the finest ingredients and his artistic flair, Hefter creates culinary masterpieces, like ricotta-stuffed agnolotti studded with black truffles, and a cobb salad gussied up with chunks of sumptuous lobster. Some dishes mesh Western and Eastern flavors seamlessly; squab with foie gras is set off by kumquat chutney, and tender scallops are scented with lemongrass. Pastry chef Sherry Yard's buttery apple strudel is as good as it gets.

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!

The perfect place for a Beverly Hills power lunch. You are bound to see some celebs coming here. The food is always amazing and Wolfgang himself has been known to personally greet his customers.

Wolfgang Puck is my favorite chef! Spago is warm and friendly- never stuffy. The Food is wonderful, I keep getting the duck dishes when I go, they are just so amazing. The dishes are paired so nicely with unique sides. Also the walnut bread they pass out is yummy! The best part is Wolfgang coming around to every table to talk to you. I have yet to come up with something interesting to say to him (he he) Overall all it is a beautiful dining experience. My goal is to try every WP restaurant in my life ( or his, since I'm younger than him)
