Beverly Hills, CA
| Only a few minutes drive southwest of downtown Hollywood, the City of Beverly Hills offers all of the glamour and opulence that anyone could reasonably hope for. It is in Beverly Hills where many stars actually live, dine and shop. Travel amongst the stars in one of Alexis Limousine’s sedans or limousines.
Beverly Hills is a city that doesn't need a description to why you should visit it. Rather we get many questions about how to get there. It is bordered by on th east and West Hollywood Westwood Village and Century City on the west side, which are Los Angeles neighborhoods and not separate cities. |

It’s a superlative, fashion and pop culture experience from the first floor to the fifth, a dizzying array of trendy ‘must-haves’ and the most buzz-worthy cosmetics, attire, shoes and accessories featured in all the glossy magazines.

Recommended Restaurants
Enjoy our limousine and sedan transportation service to dine at any of these fine restaurants.
Mastro’s
Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (310) 888-8782
Expert mix of classic steakhouse, chic bar scene and well-heeled denizens makes for one heck of a dining experience; that it’s located smack dab in the center of glitzy Beverly Hills only seems apropos once you step inside. Two lounges, one upstairs and one down, buffer the main dining room, which features a menu touting wonderful steak selections, as well as seafood and chicken. Side dishes demand top billing, too. The upstairs lounge is quite a scene, with a pianist crooning standards and bartenders whipping up endless orders of martinis for a showy crowd. The whole place operates at high speed, but the old school-meets-modern elegance ambiance, which is appealing in its own right, never overshadows the real star of the show – the food.
Ruth's Chris Steak House
224 S Beverly Dr Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (310) 859-874.
Always busy, it seems, at this steakhouse chain, which sits comfortably on the lively Beverly Dr. The sizzling filet mignon, rib eye, New York strip, T-bone and porterhouse stand center stage on the menu, which features all sorts of delicious side dishes. The place is dark and busy and the noted cocktails fight for space on most tables. It’s a chain, sure, but remains a consistent winner for great food and atmosphere.
Spago
8795 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA. / (310) 652-4025
Wolfgangs Puck's flagship is worth a splurge, and you can say you ate at the real deal. The food is excellent, the decor (designed by his wife) is terrific, and Wolfgang himself often stops by if he's in town.
Nate ‘n’ Al’s
414 N. Beverly Drive,
Beverly Hills, CA. / (310) 274-0101
It has been said that Nate 'n Al's serves more people per hour than any other deli in the country. Long waits for a table are common. Some deli mavens think that Nate 'n Al's is the best deli on the West Coast, and it's a favorite people-watching spot for both breakfast and lunch.
Best Places to Drink
Backstage Café
Open daily 4pm-2am. Situated deep in the heart of Beverly Hills, amongst the designer boutiques and trendy restaurants, Backstage Café is low-key with a rock n’ roll vibe. It’s said various celebrities desperate to drink below the radar away from fans and paparazzi drop by time to time to blend in with the darkened room and moody red interior, but that aside, it’s a cool, uncomplicated bar; a nice place to get a drink and chill. The music selections are quite choice as well.
Bar Noir
140 S Lasky Dr Beverly Hills, CA, 90209 (310) 271-2145
A cozy, though supremely stylish bar in the equally stylish Maison 140, a 43-room luxury boutique hotel tucked away on a side street in Beverly Hills. Enjoy fancy cocktails or traditional libations amidst the candlelight and achingly seductive décor. It’s serves as both prime option for first-daters or those who desire an intimate, low-key spot to cuddle up with a warm body and tasty beverage.
Writer's Bar
Not sure how many actual writers are on the premises working on a novel or screenplay, but the Writer’s Bar – inside the swanky Raffles L'Ermitage hotel – definitely hosts a recurrent assemblage of Hollywood types and those who like to see-and-be-seen. Still, the easygoing vibe and cool, sophisticated environment keeps the bar relatively mellow, even when it’s crowded – which it usually is. In all the spacious design and warm, comfy décor’ makes it a fine place to relax and socialize.
