RESTAURANT REVIEW
When this restaurant first opened, dishes like the signature smoked salmon pizza and pepper-crusted flash-seared tuna caused a sensation. Today, despite operating restaurants all over the country, Spago remains the flagship of Wolfgang Puck’s empire. The menu mixes New American fare, like a layer cake of roast Chino Farms beets with goat cheese and hazelnuts or Virginia striped bass with a ragout of Littleneck clams and fava beans, along with contemporary European classics like the house take on spicy beef goulash, which are served with a side order of; “some of the best celebrity spotting in the country.” The wine list is "over-the-top loaded" with some of the greatest bottles ever, and a steady stream of front of the house people are ready to attend to your every need.
