Food notes from around town
A lot of LA restaurant news that you need to know:
Just ate at "The Hall" at the PaliHouse Hotel on Holloway just east of La Cienega (where the Nike Store once stood). Very cool. Reasonably priced -- bistro fare plus... So they have mussels, steak frites, a delicious roast chicken, but the setting is what grabs you, basically most of the restaurant is in a courtyard adjacent to the lobby of this extended stay hotel (minimum booking a week, with condos to go on sale soon).
Anisette is about to about (they are already serving breakfast and lunch, dinner comes next week. Right off the 3rd Street Promenade, in the clock tower building, where I once had an office, Anisette is designed to look like a classic bistro down to the zinc bar. The menu is also classic, onion soup, croque monsieur, salade nicoise, towers of seafood, daube de bouef and so on. Alan Giraud, the chef was at Bastide,and Lavande -- . They will serve Brunch on weekends and be open to 12-1Am most nights. With valet parking. I am very much looking forward to trying this out.
The folks behind A.O.C., Lucques, and the Hungry Cat, are opening a restaurant in Brentwood at the site of the former Hamburger Hamlet. It will also be bistro fare, but a California local produce version of bistro. There will be a cafe with their own baked goods open all day, and also serving prepared dishes to take home (such as Lucques short ribs). The bar will remain a bar area and the bakc area will be a restaurant. look for this as-yet-unnamed restaurant to open next January.
Santa Monica Seafood is also on the move. They will be giving up their current location on Colorado to move to Wilshire and 10th. At the new location, I hear, they will have a little restaurant cafe and raw bar.
All good news for the hood.....
