Abernethy's

"The Music Center in Downtown is preparing for a new round of pop-up chefs at on-site restaurant Abernethy’s, starting with Lenora Marouani of Barsha, who will be cooking a Tunisian soul menu beginning February 4." - Farley Elliott

"I was also really smitten with chef Geter Atienza’s imaginative and jaw-droppingly beautiful takes on Filipino flavors during his stint at Abernethy’s in Downtown." - Eater Staff

"Views of the splash pad and surrounding architecture abound from the patio at Abernethy’s, the Music Center’s de facto dinnertime destination. This upscale-casual option features rotating chefs doing their best to satisfy pre-show crowds with menus like Ryan Costanza’s tuna escabeche toast, whole grilled mai take mushrooms, and boneless skin-on half chicken." - Mona Holmes, Farley Elliott

"The spot is called Abernethy’s, and per the LA Times it’s slated to open September 5 as part of the revamped Music Center Plaza. The new Abernethy’s spans some 125 seats, both inside and out, with views looking out over the expansive renovated plaza. The whole area has been completely overhauled to the tune of $41 million, and now includes not only a slew of new outdoor features but also coffee from local company Go Get Em Tiger, served in a small, breezy shop next door. The restaurant will only do dinner during the week, but will offer lunch and brunch on weekends beginning in September. First up for a three-month stint is chef Shirley Chung of Ms. Chi in Culver City. Other chefs include Ryan Costanza of Freedman’s, Jason Fullilove from the Magic Castle, and Pla and Fern from Luv2Eat Thai Bistro in Hollywood. Each will offer their own unique menus, with their culinary stints only lasting somewhere around 90 days." - Farley Elliott
