“We just want to make sure that we can assure the neighboring residents and neighboring businesses that it’s not going to create gridlock or have any impacts that will affect the neighborhood. “In order for this to move forward, we need to hear from the other blocks and also make sure with the traffic division that we can provide for this to work in way that we are not creating more impacts,” Bosse said. We want what we build to not only represent our brand but the brand of Beverly Hills.”Īccording to Spago, the tent can seat up to 125 people adhering to social distance regulations put in place by the Health Department. Now speaking about the grandeur of the tent, it is a bold city and we wanted to make a bold statement. We had to pivot, but we’ve pivoted a number of times before. So, we were very disappointed obviously when dining closed. We’ve been very careful because of our guests and because of our staff, testing them every day, assessing them every week and testing them midweek. Lazaroff added: “We’ve been the poster child for safe outdoor dining, adhering to every mandate and most likely exceeding all those mandates. And as I said, at our previous meetings, I still feel that restaurants seem to be the low hanging fruit on this totem pole.” “To get enough people vaccinated it will take time. “I realize as we all speak about this, we’re in unprecedented times with COVID numbers where they are now,” Barbara Lazaroff, founder and co-owner of Spago and Cut restaurants said. Spago is currently working with Metro on options to resolve this issue. Metro has been monitoring these points since the beginning of excavation and to continue to monitor to ensure the safety of the community. The temporary outdoor dining tent, as currently designed, would cover survey monuments installed by Metro for the Purple Line Extension project. The structure will take a minimum of two weeks to build, according to officials. “But the current plans before you are being presented for when outdoor dining can resume in person at a future date in 2021.” “As you know, in the state of California and in the Southern California region, currently in-person dining outdoors or indoors is not allowed,” Biery said.

Laura Biery, the city’s marketing and economic sustainability manager, unveiled renderings for the proposed temporary outdoor dining tent to be constructed in the cul-de-sac area where Spago is located on N. 6, the Beverly Hills City Council Liaisons for the Rodeo Drive Special Events Holiday Program Committee held a meeting during which a spirited discussion took place regarding a proposed outdoor dining tent and closure of the street in front of Spago restaurant as well as a proposed menswear pop-up store and artwork by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey (LVMH).
