About Mulholland Grill
Mulholland Grill sits above the Beverly Hills core, in the kind of quiet hillside pocket that Angelenos value for exactly the reason visitors overlook it: there is no scene. There is no see-and-be-seen. There is, instead, a warmly lit dining room built around a wood-fired oven, a menu of refined American cooking, and a regulars' crowd that knows how this type of restaurant is supposed to feel.
The kitchen's anchor is the grill. A wood-fired hearth that runs prime steaks, day-boat fish, market vegetables, and the kind of country bread that teaches you what dinner bread is supposed to taste like. The menu rotates with the season and the market, but the signature moves are consistent: diver scallops seared over arugula with a citrus dressing, grilled salmon with potato preparations that vary by night, and a short-rib braise that reliably appears in cooler months.
What distinguishes the room from its downtown Beverly Hills peers is the tempo. The pacing is unhurried. Conversation is possible at every table without leaning forward. The lighting flatters. This is a restaurant engineered for the kind of evening where the food is excellent but the point of the evening is the people you are with.

Team Dinner to The Room the Team Will Remember
Mulholland Grill is the rare Beverly Hills-adjacent restaurant where a table of eight genuinely works. The wood-fired menu delivers a spread that satisfies steak loyalists and vegetable-forward diners equally. The room absorbs conversation at volume without stressing. And the price, by the standard of the postal code, is defensible enough that you can bring the whole team without a second meeting about the check. Explore more options on our Team Dinner guide.

Dining Details
Cuisine: American Grilled Price per Person: $$$ Dress Code: Smart Casual Avg. Duration: 2 hoursReservations & Booking
Book one to two weeks ahead for weekend dinner with a party of four or more. Midweek is considerably easier. The private side room accommodates groups of 10-16 and is the correct choice for team dinners. Ask when booking and confirm the minimum spend in advance.
Dress Code & Atmosphere
Smart casual throughout. This is a neighborhood room, not a red-carpet room. Denim and a decent shirt work; shorts don't. Sound is warm and moderate, lighting is amber and low, service is attentive without hovering. Allow a little extra time in and out. Parking is local-style rather than valet forward.
The Experience
Open with the roasted vegetable board if it is on the menu. It uses the wood-fired oven to best effect and gives the table something generous to share while everyone settles. Move to the grill for mains: the prime ribeye for the steak-votes, the day-boat fish for the pescatarians, the seasonal risotto for the vegetable-forward. Sides are meant to be shared. Order two for every three guests.
The wine list is credible rather than show-offy, which is exactly what a team-dinner list should be. Ask the floor manager for a bottle in your bracket; they will recommend something that drinks above its price. Dessert is usually a short list. Take the flourless chocolate cake if it is on and the seasonal fruit preparation otherwise.
Service is the kind you forget about in the best way. Plates arrive when they should; water is refilled without asking; the check arrives only when requested. Pair with our editorial Dining Stories on California's best team-dinner restaurants.
