Long before producers and agents were eating each other alive over the concept of "net versus gross," they were likely sharpening their incisors over Kate Mantilini's meatloaf and dry-aged T-bones. Kate's opened in 1987 and has since become a Beverly Hills mainstay, serving everything from weekend brunch (starting at 11:00 am on Saturday and 10:00 am on Sunday) to late-night supper (Friday and Saturday until 1:00 am and midnight the rest of the week) and weekday lunch at 11:30 am. Expect a large quantity of options, from more traditional pasta, seafood and chicken dishes to aberrations such as frogs' legs or the Wildly Wonderful Cannes Film Festival salad with smoked salmon and creamy duck pate. Set in modern digs, it's not uncustomary to overhear industry executives ponder whose careers to make or break over corned beef and cabbage at Kate's.

Editorial Description by Citysearch
In Short
Deal-making ICM execs rub elbows with other industry types and well-heeled locals inside this modern take on a classy 1940s diner. Intimate booths provide privacy for some, while stools around the counter are left to newbies. A greasy spoon-meets-silver spoon menu is full of comfort foods, like chicken sandwiches on grilled rosemary bread, meat loaf and the house-specialty, white chili, thick with chicken, beans, melted cheese and rice. Candy-bar ice cream pie is a signature dessert.

All American Cafe. Who knew one flat pancake could fill you up, no meat necessary. They have great omelet's, burgers and drinks. Cool spot for a late date or after club dining.

Just a Glorified Diner 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

By KCS7

We were not impressed with this place at all. It was 8pm and many diners had already left but we still had to wait quite a while before hostess came. She walked us through the restaurant which was in an absolute state of mess. No excuse for that!
Waitress had a bit of an attitude and she wasn't the most helpful.
The food was ok, but the prices were way too high for this glorified diner. With the same price you can go to an actual restaurant, get a clean environment, decent service and better food.
I would not recommend the place, but go ahead and check out for yourself. You'll likely won't go back either.

Pros: Open space, casual
Cons: Pricey, uncleaned tables, mediocre service

EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!!!!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

By MelissaRoos

My friend, her boyfriend and I LOVE it and go quite often!
I had the fish and chips which are amazing!!! I always try to diet, but once the bread is placed in front of me, I lose all self control!! Everything is so delicious, I actually even like the healthy menu (and that is rare for me):)

Pros: There is something for everyone and it all tastes great!!!!

Great for brunch and the Burger is AMAZING 4 Star Rating - Very good

By finedine2008

Come to Kate Mantilini's for two things:

One, come for Brunch. Their brunch menu is very extensive and offers plenty of varieties whether you are on a healthy diet or just a heavy breakfast eater.

Second, the Kate's burger. It is superb.

This place is so great and really lives up to it's reputation! 5 Star Rating - World class

By mnirivero

I hardly ever get out to this side of town and am actually a true native of old-town Pasadena restaurants, however a gal's got to eat, right?! Well I was so pleased that I did happen to eat here; the food was delicious and came out quickly and it was reasonably priced to my surprise. I thought the servers attitudes were right on with the surroundings (I mean, come on it IS Beverly Hills)...so if anyone has dined here and taken it personally, they should give it another go.

Pros: The kickback-with-fine-dining feel & appeal
Cons: none
