New Restaurant Beverly Bar in Beverly Hills, Where Nothing Is Over $25 | Eater LA

"In the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle I found a casual, independent newcomer called Beverly Bar, opened by resident Matthew Raanan and his wife Justine Nour-Omid with chef Timothy Brice helming the kitchen. It aims to be an unfussy, laid-back counterpoint to the glitzier nearby competitors and to attract people who live or work within walking distance. Brice’s menu emphasizes approachable dishes such as salmon and yellowfin tuna crudo, a tuna crudo, fried chicken sandwiches, Neapolitan-style pizzas (including a wagyu/hot-honey pie and a barbecue-chicken option), truffle mac and cheese, salads, a house burger with onion jam and American cheese, a whole sandwiches section, grilled branzino, beef tallow fries, and a seasonal galette, with nothing priced over $27 for now; add-ons include bone marrow butter and kosher meat from Rabbi’s Daughter butcher shop in Westwood. Cocktails range from an Oaxacan old fashioned (reposado tequila and mezcal) to the bar’s take on a penicillin with Japanese whiskey, lemon, ginger, and honey syrup, while the wine list features vintners from California, France, Italy and beyond and there are six beers on tap. Raanan and Nour-Omid took over the shuttered Everyday Café Seletto in late 2020, added a patio that will eventually spill onto the sidewalk pending permits, and currently operate at 434 N. Camden Drive in Beverly Hills." - Mona Holmes
