"Culver City’s longtime restaurant ended service on October 5 after nearly two decades; opened in 2008 in the heart of downtown Culver by Akasha Richmond, it featured globally influenced dishes prepared with farmers’ market produce. The closure was attributed to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, entertainment industry strikes, and rising food and labor costs, though Richmond expressed gratitude for nearly 18 years of bringing happiness to guests." - Mona Holmes
