John Legend and The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills are making sweet music together this summer.
In collaboration with Legend’s LVE Wines, the hotel has launched a seasonal dining experience, that transforms the poolside rooftop into a restaurant. Visitors can dine al fresco in a private cabana or a table while taking in the breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills and city skyline.
The experience isn’t just limited to hotel guests. Everybody is welcome. This is the first time the hotel has opened this experience to the public.
“We are always seeking ways to deliver fun experiences to our guests and locals and are excited to bring this new dining experience to life alongside acclaimed musician, TV host, EGOT winner and fellow Angeleno, John Legend and his incredible LVE wines from Napa Valley and France,” said Anthony Keene, Executive Chef of The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills.
As for the menu, Executive Chef Anthony Keene created a John’s Favorites three-course prix-fixe menu with dishes inspired by “John’s Favorite Things” from wife Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook “Cravings,” paired with a curated wine list of LVE and Boisset favorites.
Starter options include BBQ chicken pizza, croquembouche, French onion soup gratinee and short rib ravioli, paired with LVE Chardonnay Carneros and Cabernet Sauvignon. Mains include spicy miso pasta with Manila clams, fried chicken, spicy honey butter and Beef Wellington (served for two) accompanied by mac and cheese gratinee.
The main dishes are paired with LVE Cabernet Sauvignon giving you the “Green Light” for a magical summer evening.
You also better “save room” for desserts.
The dessert menu includes berry pavlova and chocolate brownie, paired with LVE French Sparkling Rose.
Pricing is $85 for this three-course meal, $120 with wine pairings included.
“I’m thrilled to embark on this partnership with The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills and LVE,” said Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of the Boisset Collection. “In 2015, John Legend and I created the first Legend Vineyard Exclusive wines together and now they are all available to enjoy at this iconic location all summer long with food pairings inspired by some of John’s own recipes. I can’t think of another place I’d rather be to drink LVE.”
Chef Keene also created an a la carte menu with highlights including shared dishes such as surf and turf featuring king crab, grilled wagyu, burrata and caviar featuring golden osetra caviar.
The starters include a charred octopus salad with chili lime crunch and lobster tortellini with sweet corn and trumpet mushrooms.
Main dishes include English pea and morel mushroom risotto and whole branzino with artichokes, lemon, and shaved fennel. The menu also features steaks sliced for sharing, including 8-oz. Prime Rib Cap, 14-oz. Bone-in New York, and Bistecca Alla Fiorentina 50-oz. Dry-Aged Porterhouse.
The wine list will feature all LVE Wines including summer seasonal favorites like Rose and sparkling wines along with Boisset Collection wines, John Legend’s LVE partner.
Legend and LVE at The London WeHo Rooftop is every night from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and will run through Labor Day Weekend.
Reservations can also be made on OpenTable.
