Once upon a time in Southern California, there was a thing called a fancy restaurant. The chef had pretensions, the service was haughty, the decor stuffy, the check heart-stopping -- and the experience altogether intimidating.
You probably thought restaurants like this were ancient history, especially in Los Angeles. I certainly did. But that was before I experienced a few meals at the Belvedere, the restaurant in the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel.

I have eaten at the Belvedere several times. Food delious, service great and surroundings are very, very pleasent. I will go for breakfast, lunch and dinner when in the area. I refer all my friends and co-workers in Banking to the Belvedere.
I would rate with Four Stars.
There is not many places left in California that you can enjoy a great dinner with out loud and distrubing people around.
