4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in and Around Los Angeles: January 3 | Eater LA

"From former McCall’s Meat & Fish Co. owners Karen Yoo and Nathan McCall, this focused, upscale dinner restaurant in Glendale serves a globally inspired menu that spotlights local ranchers and produce. The service recommendation is to go with a group to split a bottle of wine and try a variety of dishes, including a delicate uni-topped waffle, tender beef tartare paired with a golden brown buñuelo, and a crispy-skinned tilefish. The design is understated but tasteful, with pops of blue on chair cushions and sculptural glass pendants illuminating the wood bar—just nice enough to dress up without being stuffy. Another suburban benefit: easy, plentiful parking that doesn’t feel like an added stress to going out. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
