Dining room at Spago Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills, CA

From Austria, where he was born and raised, to France, where he also trained, through two years in Indianapolis, his arrival in Los Angeles at the famed Ma Maison, and the grand opening of Spago on Sunset in 1982 and Spago Beverly Hills in 1997, Wolfgang Puck continues to make history. The inventor of the gourmet pizza (remember the smoked salmon and caviar pie?) is always present in one of the restaurants in his empire, warmly greeting patrons. And what patrons they are, especially at Spago Beverly Hills. The 90210 address is a mecca for celebrities, business tycoons and the ladies who lunch. If only the walls could talkâ€¦. Enter the multimillion dollar venue, artistically designed by Barbara Lazaroff, to find a patio shaded by olive trees and a large dining room separated from the kitchen action by glass panels. Master Puck and executive chef Lee Hefter present an international (French, Asian, California) voyage. To embark on it, trust the chef's imagination and choose a tasting menu with wines from the intelligent wine program led by Christopher Miller. For appetizers, we like the house-smoked salmon and sturgeon on lemon-herb blinis; the pumpkin and mascarpone agnolotti; and marinated hamachi and tuna sashimi. EntrÃ©es can sweep you away to the Far East with Cantonese-style roasted duck accompanied by stir-fried lo mein noodles with shiitake mushrooms. Or, regale yourself with escalope of Scottish salmon or the caramelized â€œnaturalâ€ veal chop paired with roasted Brussels sprouts, confit bacon, celery-apple purÃ©e and natural jus with sage gastrique. Puck waxes nostalgic with his childhood favorites like an authentic Austrian Wiener Schnitzel and spicy beef goulash. The chef's selection of cheeses, both domestic and imported, is served with homemade marmalades. The sweet and last part of the meal is under the ordinance of charming Sherry Yard. Her chocolate creations may occupy quite some real estate on the menu, along with the impressive Kaiserschmarrn, a soufflÃ© pancake served with crÃ¨me fraÃ®che and strawberries.
