Meet the LA Couple Behind the Speakeasy Rideau and Restaurant Jade | Eater LA
"Located along one of Beverly Hills’ busiest strips, Jade opened on May 8 as a modern Japanese fusion spot where consultant chef Matteen Khalifian blends traditional sushi with fusion items like Korean corn cheese and hamachi crudo aimed at a more affluent crowd. I saw uni and caviar service alongside theatrical, high-end offerings such as the $485 "467 Carat Premium Dragon" platter, which includes sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi with Kaluga Hybrid Reserve caviar served on a massive dragon-shaped vessel over dry ice. Cocktails match the green-tinged room with twists on classics—a yuzu margarita and a Tokyo mule made with rice vodka—and the vibrant green back-lit bar seems primed to attract Instagram-ready crowds; Jade operates Wednesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday through Sunday beginning at 5:30 p.m." - Mona Holmes
