The Waldorf Astoria has finally arrived in Beverly Hills! Situated right on the edge of Century City with the Peninsula almost across the street and the Beverly Hilton right next door. I decided to check out Jean-Georges restaurant inside the Waldorf for my birthday back in June as I love hotel restaurants and bars, but I must admit, I wasn't that impressed. Now, it had been open just under a week when I was there so things could have changed, but for being a world renowned restaurant I expected much more!
I went out about 7pm and it was a bit of an older crowd, as most of us 20-30 year olds, would be upstairs at the rooftop bar. However, it was very elegant.

The TunaTar & Mojito were delicious

| Black Cod |
The black cod was a bit bland

| Chocolate Soufflé |
My Birthday souffle was melt in your mouth amazing
Overall, I would give it about 3.5 stars, but I will be back to check out the rooftop! I have been to the Waldorf in New York as I used to live in NY, however, it is currently under renovation and would love to see how it compares to the one in LA, once complete.
On another note, LA is trying very hard to be New York. With the addition of the Waldorf Astoria, the opening of Tao, Beauty & Essex, and the Dream Hotel - I will get to that in another post, so stay tuned. They are also really building up the Century City area with the 800 million dollar renovation of the Century City Mall and the new luxury condos with robots at Ten Thousand.
Stay tuned for more!
