Reviews for The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills, CA
My wife and I visited this place back in February 2019. The food is absolutely amazing. When you pull up it?s a little confusing... the way Valet is set up, but the service was really good. It?s really chilly in there for some reason. I ordered ribs and mywife had the Prime rib, we shared an order of Calamari. We both enjoyed, very flavorful. Read more
Enjoyed a dinner with family. The prime rib was delicious, served with garlic mashed potatoes and a creamed spinach (contrary to... other reviews, it was smooth and much better than the version at another well known restaurant). Definitely enjoyed the TortugaRum Cake, may have to make one of those myself (and I'll probably enjoy the experimenting along the way). The service was veryattentive and timely, plus the relaxed atmosphere is what I commend the most--which is like a time capsule to an almostforgotten era of the city; but I digress, while the 'ambience' is great, I came for the food. The dinner rolls were a bighighlight--for the warm, garlic adorned and easily eaten size that made asking for more a definite want/need. I believe I'll trythe soup and rib eye next time, the garlic braised short rib, the fish or the possibly even one of the pasta dishes--how thegarlic is used and the type of garlic used is very tasty. While I might try the garlic ice cream in the future, I'll definitelybe bringing my appetite and the possibility of my last star on my next visit. Read more
Parking: No street parking so I utilized their valet service for $7.50 Ambience: Festive Service: The servers were welcoming and... knowledgeable with the menu. Food: I ordered The Garlic Prime Rib Slab. You can definitely tell the quality of the prime cut ofthe meat as it was very tender. Not so flavorful on the inside but it could be because the slab is a 20oz+ thick meat. Theoutside flavor was great. I also tried the Sea bass with acini pasta and fried calamari. Both great especially the well cookedand moist sea bass. Overall: I love Garlic and this place was definitely an experience to remember. Almost everything hasgarlic. It is upscale in price being in Beverly Hills but worthy of trying out. Read more
Valet parking is easy and quick. Costs $7.50. The restaurant staff was welcoming, very friendly and attentive. Our waiter came... by numerous times to make sure we had everything we needed, and were enjoying our food. We both got the lasagna, and it wasdelicious! The sauce and texture of the cheese was great, along with the mushrooms, spinach and eggplant. What a great balanceof flavors and textures. Very different style of lasagna than I've had other places, but we loved it! Their spin on it is great.The decor is old, but unique and quite fun. Loved the powder room in the ladies room too. Pretty fun! It's been a place on ourto go to list, and we're glad we went, and will be back for more lasagna ???? Read more
If you love all things Garlic, check out the Stinking Rose (nickname for a garlic clove). My friends and I drove up from San... Diego to try this restaurant and we are happy we did. First we tried the Bagna Calda which was garlic, roasted olive oil andbutter. We used this on the delicious complimentary garlic bread they bring to the table. With the bread they brought out thisfresh garlic pesto style spread that was so good. I got the garlic noodles with shrimp (very good) and calamari which waslightly battered and fryed to perfection. Everything was just so wonderful. The decor was entertaining enough to look around.The place is huge, tastefully dimly lit. We definitely plan on coming back. Our waiter answered our questions and was veryknowledgeable, describing the food perfectly. We got our food quickly and we wers off devouring our food! And despite the name,it smelt delightful and stirred our appetites going in! Check it out! Read more
Garlic lovers rejoice, vampires grieve... From garlic calamari rings, garlic martini to garlic ice cream. The dishes are tasty... tho, some have stronger garlic seasoning in them and if you have them first and have the milder flavoured one later, you won'ttaste it. More of a romantic ambience there with 'tentages' for individual tables for the added privacy. Not much of a crowdwhen I was there, so service was fast and it was good. Read more
Delicious! Extremely fast service. I think it took less than 5 minutes from when we place our order to when the food came out.... I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't try the garlic I've cream but, heard it was good. The Garlic chicken was very flavorfulbut, not overwhelming with garlic. The pork chops were very tender with a nicely balanced sweetness from the sauce. Read more
If you love garlic then this is the place to dine. Great garlic dishes and garlic ice cream. Valet parking only.
