“ The Polo Lounge is a classic. Tucked inside the Beverly Hills Hotel, it blends old Hollywood charm and nostalgia with timeless elegance from a bygone era. The outdoor patio is especially gorgeous—lush, green, and perfect for people-watching. Service is top-notch and discreet with captains and waiters in tuxedos and suits, channeling mid-century nostalgia and glamour. The menu leans traditional, but everything is well-executed—favorites include the McCarthy Salad and the Dover Sole. It’s definitely a splurge, but the experience makes it worth it. A common haunt for celebrities and a place to see and be seen the Polo Lounge is ideal for a celebratory meal or for a fun night out. ”
“ I absolutely love the Polo Lounge—it’s hands down one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills! I’ve had both dinner in the cozy alcove and breakfast out on the gorgeous patio, and both experiences were amazing. Dinner started with a basket of warm, delicious bread (always a good sign), and I had the chicken Parmesan but swapped out the spaghetti for the rigatoni Bolognese—HIGHLY recommend that combo! The pasta was rich and flavorful, and honestly stole the show. There was live music during dinner, with a musician singing fun classics like Lionel Richie, which added such a fun and lively vibe to the night. And whatever you do, don’t skip the soufflé for dessert—it’s absolutely heavenly. Breakfast was just as lovely. We had a basket of fresh pastries, rich lattes, and fluffy pancakes. The patio is truly something special—surrounded by beautiful flowers and lush greenery, it feels like a little escape in the middle of the city. Can’t say enough good things about the Polo Lounge. It’s a must if you’re looking for great food, beautiful ambiance, and a little bit of Old Hollywood charm. ”
“ I live not too far from the hotel. I stop by for breakfast at the Polo Lounge every so often. They have quite a decent breakfast offering. Most menu items are classic American staple offerings. Menu prices are quite reasonable , breakfast items are roughly $30-40’s. Presentation is top notch. The service is impeccable. ”
“ Another dining institution in LA. The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Polo Lounge are old school super luxe. They scream opulence and it’s very much an occasion place to dine. The service is impeccable. I ordered the seafood salad which came with generous amounts of grab, lobster and prawns. The portion size was huge so worth the USD 68. I was dining solo but also a good option to share. The patio area is lovely and well-shaded. It feels like part of a movie set and is definitely something to experience. Dress for the occasion - everyone was really nicely dressed, definitely above the ‘smart casual’ listed on the website. ”
“ Elegant Dining in a Legendary Setting The Polo Lounge is a true Beverly Hills classic. The garden is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the service is top-tier. The whole place exudes first-class charm and old Hollywood elegance. Come a bit early to stroll through the garden before your reservation. The pool area is reserved for hotel guests, but with a bit of charm, you might just get a quick peek – and it’s worth it. A timeless spot for a memorable meal. ”
