"A back-patio supper club at this Studio City restaurant turned dinner into a summer-night tasting menu, with Jeff Strauss grilling six courses for $85 and pouring inventive cocktails. After a bright pickled course (smoked daikon, green beans, baby corn, turmeric watermelon rind) and heirloom tomatoes with his own labneh, the yakitori chicken liver stole the show: a generous skewer doused with egg yolk and hot honey to my preferred spice level, topped with chives, then set over a toasted baguette — savory, simple, and deeply satisfying in the San Fernando Valley." - Eater Staff
