"Debuting on May 16th on NeueHouse Hollywood’s outdoor terrace, Reunion occupies a 5,300-square-foot space designed to feel like a relaxed, never-ending summer holiday: a neutral palette of beige, ocher, and earthen red with wood, wicker, and stone creates an escapist, Tulum-tinged atmosphere where the bustle of Sunset Boulevard recedes and candlelight cocoons the terrace at night. The food follows a coastal Italian approach meant for sharing—bright, seasonal vegetables and fresh seafood replace heavier meat and dairy plates—and includes standout dishes and formats like a crab agnolotti tossed in Meyer lemon and tomato sauce that is supple, delicious, and comforting without feeling oily or dense; larger portions, serving spoons, and big tables reinforce the communal intent. Cocktails by Eric Alperin (including a citrusy, effervescent Milan Mandarin Spritz and slushy-style sgroppinos) and a wine list curated by Rosemary Walker heavy on Italian varietals continue the coastal theme. Positioned as a public-facing extension of the members’ club, the space is intended as a third place for creatives—welcoming both members and non-members (non-member guests can access the Hollywood Reunion through a dedicated entrance on El Centro Avenue)—and serves as an entry point into NeueHouse’s wider community." - Oren Peleg
