The Hottest New Tables in Hollywood During AFM

Baldi 9850 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills The Hotel Lobbies Where Hollywood Takes Meetings During AFM At the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, chef Edo Baldi gives the steakhouse an Italian accent, cooking beef and wagyu over an olive wood-fired grill. Don’t let the steaks distract from sweet corn tortellini with mascarpone and truffle butter, or the pancake soufflé for two. Terracotta tones and olive trees warm the restaurant. For casual meet-ups, Bar Baldi pairs thin-crust pizza with beverage director Jim Kearns’ limoncello-laced spritz. Birdie G’s 2025 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles Moving from Santa Monica into the former Lumière space, chef Jeremy Fox’s Birdie G’s brings its family-inspired cooking directly to Century City. Matzo ball soup, the Pickle Chick cutlet and rose petal pie join koji-aged steaks, handmade pastas and California vegetables. EDG’s design draws on midcentury supper clubs, with banquettes and expanded patio seating. The planned breakfast-through-dinner format covers the working day; martinis and Manhattans take care of happy hour and beyond. Bad Roman 267 N. Canon Drive, Suite A7, Beverly Hills The former Palm steakhouse has a new cast of characters: a boar sculpture, greyhound statues and snake door handles. Quality Branded’s Bad Roman fills green velvet banquettes

Where to Eat During AFM 2026: Century City and Beverly Hills’ Best Restaurants

AFM 2026 is in the center of the independent film business dealmaking world and close to many of the entertainment biz’s favorite restaurants. Century City and nearby Beverly Hills are home to the major agencies, law firms and financing entities, which equals power lunching and see-and-be-seen gathering spots close to the confab. Throw in some legendary eateries, and AFMers are perfectly positioned to dine where Hollywood dealmakers, agency foot soldiers and bold names eat out. Century City’s dining options start at the host venue: Birdie G’s is the Fairmont Century Plaza’s new full-service restaurant. Expect classic American cooking in a relaxed setting. There will be mobile coffee stations and daily grab-and-go items near the Fairmont’s lower-level conference rooms. Choices include hearty breakfast burritos, creative salads and an array of sandwiches. At the adjacent Westfield Century City, where AFM badge holders can take advantage of a discount program, more than 65 food outlets populate the multi-level, open-air mall. Specializing in dim sum, Din Tai Fung (10250 Santa Monica Blvd., second level, dtf.com) excels in Taiwan-style, handmade soup dumplings and flavorful noodle dishes. Waits can be extensive, so sit at the bar, reserve ahead or use yelp.com to join the real-time waitlist.
