Iconic art deco eatery with legendary McCarthy salad
"A scene‑y choice for a stylish lunch or dinner, this classic spot fits seamlessly into an upscale Los Angeles day." - Vogue
"The most famous dish in L.A. is arguably the (admittedly steeply-priced) $44 McCarthy Chopped Salad at the Polo Lounge, complete with avocado, chicken, beets, bacon, chickpeas, cheddar, and balsamic dressing. Enjoy it on their sun-dappled patio that exudes Old Hollywood." —Lilah Ramzi"
"When I'm at the Beverly Hills Hotel I always stop by the Polo Lounge; it's indulgent, and I've never gone there and not seen at least one celebrity, which is part of the fun of the place." - Kaitlin Menza
"The Polo Bar at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel—it's a place within a place within a place. This is probably even closer to [where I live] than Wally's, so I'm here daily, because I do all my meetings there. It's like the epicenter of the LA power dining. I'm talking about people who run the industry. The bar is the best part. It's this beautiful classic bar—it's tiny. I think it only has five bar seats. There'll be these big executives having lunch. I walked in last time and Jessica Alba was there with her team and I said, 'I don't know what's happening here, but I'm directing it.' And sure enough, I'm directing that project, That's what happens at the Polo Lounge." - brennan carley
"If there’s a place that invented the power breakfast, it’s probably The Polo Lounge, despite the fact that the food is now downright terrible. This restaurant in the Beverly Hills Hotel was where Old Hollywood came for pancakes and eggs, and it’s still a favorite of producers, directors, and stars who order $49 lobster eggs Benedict (just kidding, no one who works in Hollywood would willingly eat that much butter). If your boss thinks they’re the next Ari Emanuel, you should just book every breakfast meeting here." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, nikko duren
