Circa 55

Had lunch on a Monday. Caesar Salad w/chicken was really good. No complaints but certainly didn’t “wow” me.

This restaurant is poolside at the Beverly Hilton. The atmosphere is quite nice, especially on a sunny day. However, the food (breakfast in this case) was not good and way over priced, even for Beverly Hills. I had a $30 avocado toast with egg that was cold and over toasted. The servers were nice but not attentive. Skip this place.

The highest rating is for the service - thanks to Edwin. Noteworthy are the lamb chops. Those were impeccable! Although my companion never enjoyed anything less than medium, she enjoyed medium to rare chops! Delightful. Beef tartar was ok, the color of the meat was dark due to either some spices or keeping it on ice. I don’t recommend the tartar. Atmosphere is not bad, but nothing special. Come here for food, if you stay at the hotel.

11/30/2023 The CIRCA 55 is situated inside the Beverly Hilton that was broken ground in 1953 and open to the public in 1955. The ambience is excellent. The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at the hotel year over year since 1961. The Veranda is not perfect. For example, It has been using a wrong cup for cappuccinos that ruined the taste. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed a cup of cappuccinos made by a new specialty coffee machine at one Marriott namesake hotel last night. One glass of Moet & Chanson Imperial Brut Champagne costs $32, plus tax and tip. It is not for most patrons to visit. Also, the appetizer missed a sauce cup. I decided not to ask.

I made reservations here under the impression they still served the brunch buffet however, after I was seated I saw that they offer a prix fixe meal for $85. I was looking for the amazing buffet experience they served before the pandemic. I didn't think the prix fixe options they were offering justified the cost so, I didn't decided to go somewhere else. The staff was nice and gracious.

Tried almost every item on the menu over a 2 week period and each dish was underwhelming. Service is trash. Sad that this place went downhill from the last 2 years .

사진에서 보는것 처럼 수영장에 연결된 레스토랑입니다호텔이 확실 올드한 느낌이듯이 식당도 테이블이 흔들흔들.. 올드 합니다 햄버거랑 샌드 위치 모두 그럭저럭 먹을만한데 특별히 고급호텔에서 나오는 그런 메뉴 느낌은 아니네용 서빙하시는 나이드신분은 매우 친절 하였습니다. 사람이 붐비지 않는 것이 좋습니다

Impeccable attention to detail can be seen throughout the venue, whether you choose to sit poolside or indoors. The breakfast buffet offers plenty of choices, although access to everything is reserved for those who opt for the top tier version. The service is beyond reproach, as guests are pampered with exceptional care, whether they seek it or not
