A known training ground for the country’s rising-star chefs, this Beverly Hills flagship of the distinguished Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group remains the kind of restaurant that continually surpasses its lofty reputation. Night after night, James Beard award-winning executive chef Lee Hefter pushes the envelope of American cuisine for the droves of enraptured patrons primed to be pampered. Hefter’s menu refuses to sit still, scouring the globe for such intensely palatable combinations as seared rare bigeye tuna with salsa verde, caramelized organic veal chop and Hong Kong-style Florida grouper. Try the tasting menu with wine pairings to savor Spago’s full potential.
