Lielle

Dinner at Lielle in Beverly Hills felt special before the first course even hit the counter. We sat at the chef’s counter overlooking the kitchen, and honestly, I could’ve watched that team work all night. No chaos. No shouting. Every movement was sharp, calm, and deliberate. You could feel how much pride went into every plate. The meal opened with crisp radishes and warm sourdough with egg yolk butter that was so rich and silky it almost stole the show immediately. Then the lineup started rolling out. The dry aged bluefin tuna was clean, delicate, and deeply flavorful. The N25 Kaluga caviar felt indulgent without being over the top. The tilefish was poached perfectly, soft and buttery with incredible balance. The dish I keep thinking about was the Spaghetti All’assassina with sea urchin and prawns. sweet prawns, rich uni. Every bite got better than the last. Easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had anywhere. The California spring lamb was cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. Harry’s strawberries reset the palate perfectly, bright and fresh without trying too hard. Then the 30 month Comté closed everything out with this deep nutty finish that lingered in the best way. What made the night stand out even more was the service. Fine dining without the stiffness. Everyone was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about the food. It never felt rehearsed or forced. Lielle doesn’t feel like a restaurant chasing hype. It feels like a restaurant operating at a level most places never reach. One meal in, and I already want to go back. Michelin stars feel inevitable here.

How wonderful to get such a super star chef Marcus Jernmark who created several 3 star Michelin restaurants like Frantzén and Zen. This menu is such a bargain and the wines were very reasonable. The atmosphere was very warm and loved the long stem candles. Waiters were all friendly warm and cheerful which made the evening more fun. Each dish was perfection and plated beautifully. The highlight was that Marcus was there and we got to meet him. Will defiantly return.

Absolutely loved Lielle! I went before the Star and Best of. I’ve always loved every restaurant in this space since growing up in LA. But it’s clearly home to Lielle and I am so glad they’re here. Lielle has perfected a unique beat of a tasting menu for Los Angeles. From the entryway to the dessert — every second is well paced, delicious and quite chill; given how luxurious and intimately face-to-face the main dining room feels. Champagne and wine list also slap! Honestly, 10/10. Can’t wait to visit again!
