With a new General Manager and Executive Chef, 208 Rodeo is certainly aimed at becoming one of the most sought after dining destinations in town. Whether if it’s relaxing on our sun soaked patio for breakfast or a romantic dinner for two on our balcony, 208 Rodeo delivers the perfect experience to meet your Beverly Hills dining expectations, and nestled strategically in sight of Wilshire Blvd. and tour vans Los Angeles passing by.

This Beverly Hills restaurant is located on the corner of the famous Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, where outdoor terrace seating allows diners to take in the bustle of celebrities and tourists on the street walks. Delicious creations by Chef Joseph Mahon include fusion food like Japanese squash ravioli, dry aged New York strip, Chilean salmon, and coconut-curry lentil soup. 208 Via Rodeo Dr., Beverly Hills CA 90210

Take a wild a guess what this place specializes in. Yep. Fluffy egg creations, all of which come served with the parlor’s famous O.P. potatoes, English muffin and fruit. A quaint Old world, atmosphere with large nostalgic black-and-white photographs of Californian beaches and imaginatively named omelettes make the parlor a popular outpost; try “The Meter Maid (the richest gal in town),” the “Crazy Jack,” or “The Semi Sophisticated” Omelette.

Not feeling the omelettes? Opt for the California Benedict–word is it’s a big favorite with a “distinct” flavor. On mild days, take advantage of the outdoor patio at the back, but don’t eat here if you can’t stand the heat in the summer months.  Add it to your list if you are looking to tour Los Angeles.   2732 Main St. Santa Monica, 90405 (310) 399-7892

Stop into Froma during the morning for a hot espresso and some homemade, ginger-swirled banana bread, or take your time with the likes of a cheddar-avocado omelet, panettone French toast, prosciutto-gruyere croissant sandwich, or a breakfast panini with tomato and basil from the full breakfast menu.

Panini dominates the multifaceted lunch-dinner fare with two dozen exotic choices like the Alpino with salty bresaola, chèvre, fresh lemon and arugula, and a sandwich featuring blue crab meat. There are a dozen different salads as well, and a variety of bruschette like the gorgonzola and bosc pear drizzled with raw wild honey. There is nothing wrong with a bit of “scrumptious” prior to experiencing private LA tours.   Pair that with a glass of chilled Jo Pithon Chenin Blanc from France’s Loire Valley or choose from Froma’s well-curated wine selection — one of the in the area — with fine old/new world options including several carrying organic certification. 7960 Melrose Ave.  Los Angeles, CA 90046  (323) 653-3700

The vision behind Saddle Ranch Chop House was that of a destination restaurant where, unlike other restaurants, people would come for a great meal and stay long after their plates had been cleared to enjoy a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience with friends and family. The extensive and eclectic menu offers generous portions of steaks, chops, ribs, sandwiches, burgers, seafood, salads, biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes, and more.

The concept is “Rock Meets Western”, which comes to life in every aspect of the construction, décor and operation of these unique restaurants. The rustic, ranch-style buildings are constructed of wood and stone, and decorated with western props and memorabilia, merging the feel of an Aspen ski lodge with the style of an old Western saloon, complete with faux balconies and saloon girls. Every Saddle Ranch Chop House has a large outdoor patio with stone campfire pits where guests can roast their own s’mores or enjoy a glass of wine next to a warm fire. Visiting the Sunset Strip location needs to be added to your list of “things to do in Hollywood.” Inside, each Saddle Ranch has a large, oval-shaped bar in the center of the dining room and, of course, a mechanical bull amidst the tables and booths providing endless entertainment to diners. The Saddle Ranch team is known for making guests feel like they are dining at a friend’s table with home-style cooking and down-home hospitality.
