"Once a Hollywood hotspot, this restaurant became known for familiar and riffy French flavors pushed in new directions, strong cocktails, natural wine, and one hell of a bistro burger, all set in the historic former Ye Coach & Horses and the Pikey space. It drew major accolades from the New York Times and attracted high-profile diners like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and after a turbulent public fallout between chef-co-owners Liz Johnson and Will Aghajanian, chef Brittany Ha was crucial to its reemergence and continued popularity. Despite this momentum, a sign on the door announced a temporary closure for repairs on December 24, followed by reports of significant State of California tax liens against its parent company, Horses Holdings LLC, and as of January 8, 2026, the restaurant remains closed." - Mona Holmes
