And the Legend Continues
A recent dinner at The Polo Lounge, a Beverly Hills legendary restaurant, made us rediscover the dining room of The Beverly Hills Hotel. Chef Alex Chen and pastry chef Jean-François Suteau prepared a very elegant dinner that raised our rating of the restaurant an additional point (from 15/20 to 16/20), which put it on our Los Angeles Top 10 Food Rating list.
Besides the Los Angeles Classic Restaurant Top 10, it also cracked the Los Angeles Top 10 for celebrity-spotting and Los Angeles Top 10 French Restaurants list. The Polo Lounge will be a good replacement option when the Bel-Air Hotel closes its doors at the end of the month for its two-year-long renovation.
The restaurant is our Los Angeles Review of the Week. You can enjoy the dinner in pictures below.
