The Owner
Kate Mantilini
Owner
Long before producers and agents were eating each other alive over the concept of "net versus gross," they were likely sharpening their incisors over Kate Mantilini's meatloaf and dry-aged T-bones. Kate's opened in 1987 and has since become a Beverly Hills mainstay, serving everything from weekend brunch (starting at 11:00 am on Saturday and 10:00 am on Sunday) to late-night supper (Friday and Saturday until 1:00 am and midnight the rest of the week) and weekday lunch at 11:30 am. Expect a large quantity of options, from more traditional pasta, seafood and chicken dishes to aberrations…

In Short – Deal-making ICM execs rub elbows with other industry types and well-heeled locals inside this modern take on a classy 1940s diner. Intimate booths provide privacy for some, while stools around the counter are left to newbies. A greasy spoon-meets-silver spoon menu is full of comfort foods, like chicken sandwiches on grilled rosemary bread, meat loaf and the house-specialty, white chili, thick with chicken, beans, melted cheese and rice. Candy-bar ice cream pie is a signature dessert.

Overpriced disgusting food...but nice waiters.

My friend had eaten here once before and didn't care much for the food, but she still suggested I go try it myself. We were seated immediately and the wait staff were incredibly nice. We ordered a pasta dish that sounded amazing on the menu, but what it ended up actually being was mushy pasta topped with a sliver of "prosciutto" (which was really just deli ham that they charged an extra $6 for). Nearly $26 for one plate, which in price terms beat the rest of the menu which went far beyond $20. What saved this restaurant from me giving one star was the waitress and the decor. The waitress talked to us about our movie, and it so happened the leading actress had just been in the restaurant earlier. The restaurant also has a really simple decor that is open, casual and inviting for big groups.
- Pros: service, location, famous patrons, cool decor
- Cons: food, prices

If you have a problem with Gift Cards
by ravenwoods at Citysearch
I had a problem with expiring gift cards and took it up with the owners. If you have gift card which does not have an expiration date printed on the card, and yet they will not honor the card, remind them that the owners have promised to comply with the law, which says that expiring gift cards must have a clearly printed expiration date on the card.
- Pros: good food
- Cons: If you have a problem with Gift Cards

The word "Heat," spelled out in neon above the door, refers to the eatery's role as a location in the 1995 movie of the same name.

Expect a large quantity of options, from more traditional pasta, seafood and chicken dishes to aberrations such as frogs' legs or the Wildly Wonderful Cannes Film Festival salad with smoked salmon and creamy duck pate. Set in modern digs, it's not uncustomary to overhear industry executives ponder whose careers to make or break over corned beef and cabbage at Kate's.
