Cut
9500 Wilshire Blvd., Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel
Beverly Hills, CA
Rodeo Drive
310-275-5200

The way Never underestimate Wolfgang Puck. He's such a familiar face, beaming from the covers of his cookbooks or exhorting viewers of the Food Network to "live, love, eat " that we tend to forget he's not just chef to the Oscars and a celebrity in his own right, but also the real deal. And just when you thought he'd stopped spawning new restaurants, with the exception of an occasional Spago or two, he's back with Cut, his new steakhouse in the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel.

Ambience Elegant contemporary steakhouse with an A-list crowd and a very urban energy. Though prime steaks star at this Wolfgang Puck restaurant, it offers a broader, and more interesting menu, than most steakhouses, along with stellar sides and desserts.
Best dishes Kobe steak sashimi, foie gras pavé, lobster and crab "Louis" cocktail, dry-aged New York sirloin, Japanese Kobe beef, rotisserie duckling, creamed spinach with fried egg, potatoes "lyonnaise."
Best table One of the round tables near the window.
Desserts Chocolate soufflé, mille feuille with strawberries.
Of Note Full bar. Valet parking, $8.
Prices Salads and starters, $14-$24; steaks, $34-$160; other main courses, $32-$80; sides, $10; desserts, $14.
Service Deft and professional, attentive but not intrusive.
Wine list Eclectic, wide-ranging wine list with reasonable markups for a hotel restaurant. Wine service is impeccable. Corkage, $25.
