Dining room at The Blvd, Beverly Hills, CAWhen The Blvd opened a few years ago, it represented a drastic change from the former Lobby Lounge. Located at one of the most luxurious intersections in Beverly Hills, its designer could not resist opening the room onto Wilshire Boulevard, adding a terrace and installing much larger windows. Inside, the result is quite stunning, starting with the onyx bar enhanced by the black granite-and-white-onyx floor; the 1,000-bottle backlit wine display; the ebony wood panels on the walls; and the stylish honey-colored leather chairs. The modern, Art Deco-influenced décor is elegant and comfortable, especially if you are lucky enough to be seated on the sofas where you can observe the entire room with its chic and happy clientele. The tasteful dishes, formerly overseen by chef Brian Moyers who has now left the kitchen, are in accordance with the décor and the grandeur of "Pretty Woman"'s favorite hotel. Try the bacon-wrapped figs served with goat cheese, the spicy tuna with saké vinaigrette, the foie gras on brioche, or the delicious porcini bisque topped with truffle foam for appetizers. The flavors of the crispy branzino accompanied by saké-steamed vegetables are so enjoyable that you don't need its three sauces. Meat lovers should try the rib-eye or the $40 burger made with Kobe beef. The lunch menu carries a selection of more simple dishes such as sandwiches, salads, pizzas and pastas as well as specials-of-the-day like Tuesday’s paella and Thursday’s duck cassoulet. Desserts are a bit of a work-in-progress.
