208 RODEO RESTAURANT

It's next to Tiffany's on Rodeo Drive.
Eating outside gives you a better view of the scenery.

Worst place to invest your money. We have been loyal clients of the restaurant for years and it took only one bad incident to erase the whole positive experience of my top rated restaurant’s list. I was dining there with my family as usual and there was a new waitress who was assisting the table. She slid the special menu and talked very highly about the food on the list. My sister chose to order truffle pasta from that menu. It seemed weird that couple of meals didnt have prices next to, which also included this specific meal. When I asked for the check, I got shocked with the prices. The pasta only itself was $145. I had to close the bill of 310$ plus tip when we barely ordered anything. I asked the waiter why she wasnt clear about the price and she said that the dish needs to be weighted to determine the price. That is also a lie because if you check online that dish is also posted on the regular menu with the set price. Afterwards, when I was paying, she kept insisting on the tip to be based on the below listed choices. I chose to customize the tip and saw that she immediately checked to see how much Im posting for the tip before she would let me sign for it. She kept pressuring me to update the tip so she can get more based on the percentage of the total. I told her that i will tip her based on my experience and look at her audacity, she turned to me and said” I will still leave the check on the table so you can add the difference.” she left without cleaning the table. I called the manager by hoping that he will fix the problem, yet he didnt. He just apologized and left. I can’t believe that they dont value the loyalty because this was my last time dining there.

Worst place to dine in, food taste terrible. Service is horrible, they stand and wait for you to tip for the exact amount written on the check, and make up feel uncomfortable if you tip less. Management doesn’t do anything if you tell them there is a problem. They don’t put prices on the menu and scam people. For the price it is not worth to dine in. Food quality is the worst as well as the service, and the portion of food. I used to go there just for the place but never going back. These people are liars.

Average food we felt sick the whole day , greedy for tips , wrong bill should avoid this place totally, a bit of a scam

Wouldn’t recommend at all, prices are incredibly misleading for only decent food compared to other areas of the US. Would give negative stars if possible. Our waitress Kristina suggested getting the surf and turf (without mentioning it is $265) and then convinced us to add truffles to our dish at a $125 surcharge without mentioning the price. Even charged $10 per bottle of water. Entrees in general range $25-$30 but any drink you order will cost more. They will give you a pitch at the end of your meal about how waitress doesn’t get the 18% tip that is automatically added, then stand over you to see if you add any additional tip.
