Where To See & Be Seen In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You’re paying $35 per cocktail at Chateau Marmont because, with complete and total certainty, someone famous is in your vicinity. It could be Al Pacino splitting a branzino in the courtyard, David Schwimmer having an old fashioned next to the jazz piano, or the ghost ofJohn Bonham. And even if the food is often underseasoned and definitely overpriced, dinner at the Chateau is a rush simply because it lets you pretend, even on a quiet night, that you’re on the guest list of a debaucherous after-party that would make Jay Gatsby blush." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
