"Restaurateurs Marissa and Matt Hermer opened a new hotspot on October 8 called Chez Mia inside the former Ago space near the corner of Melrose Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. Inspired by the south of France, the nearly three-year project originally called Lalou opened in partnership with entrepreneur Kurt Seidensticker, who founded Vital Proteins. Boujis Group, the hospitality group behind restaurants the Draycott and Olivetta, brought on its culinary director Ivo Filho to lead the kitchen. With 220 seats set across one of LA’s best new patios and a colorful interior, Chez Mia follows the Hermers’ see-and-be-seen formula with high-quality ingredients, sharp cooking, and easy cocktails to match attentive service." - Matthew Kang
