"In one those typical restaurant-closes-in-Beverly-Hills-and-a-fake-unathorized-one-opens-before-the-official-one-reopens-in-Encino situations, the end result is the Valley getting a fantastic new restaurant. The entire place is essentially a 16-person bar with no waiters (the chefs do all the serving). They’re going to want you to do a pre-fixe menu and you should take them up on it. No, this isn’t your once a week hangout place, but it’s a massive step forward for the Valley’s dining situation." - brant cox
