Dinner, Friends & Wolfgang Puck | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles

I have appreciated Chef Wolfgang Puck ever since he made his Los Angeles culinary introduction with Spago on Sunset, back in the 1980s. Thinking on those days, my friends and I would spend our whole ‘part-time mall job paycheck’ for dinners at upscale or trending restaurants. Spago was one of them, and made a huge impact on how I perceived cuisine and the dining experience.

While I was spending a few days in my hometown, my friends whom I have known from my school days suggested that we have dinner at Wolfgang Puck at the Bel-Air Hotel. It was a clear-cut answer of “Yes, please”. We dolled up, and then headed to a magnificent dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air.

🍸 My friends and I started off with cocktails inside the hotel bar, and made our way into the Wolfgang Puck Restaurant when our reservation time arrived. From there we took part in a sumptuous and lavish dinner of classic dishes, served with great and friendly attention. Wolfgang Puck to this day does not disappoint on his excellent cuisine and hospitality.
