In December of 1940, Prince Michael Romanoff opened his restaurant on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The problem was that his name wasn’t Michael Romanoff, he wasn’t a prince, and he wasn’t from Russia. Evidently, though, that wasn’t much of a problem. The place was a hit from the get-go.

I’m looking for a website that would be interest in anything having to do with Romanoffs of Beverly Hills ware…plates, martini glasses, menus, ashtrays, coffee cups…etc. My a Grandfather worked there prior to being with The Bistro when it opened as a VIP waiter…for both restaurants.
