"Brunch is great, but brunch with a view overlooking Beverly Hills? That’s perfection. Located on the roof of boutique hotel The Maybourne, Dante has a wide-ranging menu of typical dishes like harvest bowls, frittatas, and granola, but our recommendation is to order a wood-fired pizza for the table and get to cocktail-ing. Nothing makes that view better than a seasonal bellini coursing through your veins." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"This glamorous NYC import atop The Maybourne in Beverly Hills is a full restaurant, but the mostly mediocre Italian food isn’t the highlight. Come for the exceptional views and even better cocktails instead. The menu has sections dedicated to martinis, negronis, spritzes, and agave spirits—all things you want to be sipping as you stare out over multimillion-dollar mansions. Most drinks cost $20+, but come with fun little flourishes that feel appropriate for the setting (prepare for bartenders to spray olive brine mist on your dirty martini or scorch green chilis for your spicy margarita.)" - brant cox, arden shore
"The main purpose of this rooftop spot is to look fabulous while drinking fabulous things with fabulous people in a fabulous setting (did we say fabulous enough?). This restaurant sibling to Dante NYC takes up the top floor of The Maybourne Hotel, with a dining room that’s just as beautiful as its panoramic views and a menu of mostly unremarkable Italian dishes. At its heart, however, Dante is a cocktail bar. The bartenders are experts with classics like a 50/50 martini and whipped Garibaldis, but really, they’re capable of making anything you can think of with confidence and finesse. This is Beverly Hills, so expect to spend at least $20 per drink, a price that feels worthwhile for the memorable experience (and the setting)." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
"An LA outpost that elevates the glamour of its New York predecessor with indigo booths, a pastel ceiling mural, and views toward the Hollywood Hills; the atmosphere skews jet-set while food and drinks remain impeccable and service is warm. The cocktail program emphasizes light, textural signatures alongside extensive martini and Negroni pages—standout is the Fluffy Margarita Royale, a unique margarita made with tequila, dry curaçao, lime, clementine, saffron, and prosecco." - ByEsther Tseng
"New York City transplant Dante takes over the gorgeous rooftop space of the Maybourne hotel with unfettered views of the Hollywood Hills. The place is mainly famous in New York for its cocktails, like the spritzes and shaken drinks, but the food is very good, from the blistered wood-fired pizzas to the generously portioned pastas. What Dante succeeds most in is the ambience, with plush banquettes or airy balcony seating for an effortlessly chic Beverly Hills experience." - Matthew Kang
