"On November 30 the Westside steakhouse opened a second location at the Grove, occupying the former Wood Ranch restaurant and offering lunch through dinner in a sizeable dining room with a horseshoe-shaped bar and patio. Co-chefs Elisha Ben-Haim and Evan Hickey elevate a rustic California Central Coast approach with dishes like grilled prawns with herb butter, chicken liver mousse with persimmon, and glazed sweet-and-spicy baby back ribs with kohlrabi slaw." - Eater Staff
"What’s this now? A sit-down restaurant at The Grove worth planning an evening around? Not to be hyperbolic, but American Beauty feels a bit revolutionary. This sexy new-school steakhouse opened in Venice several years ago and now has an even larger location inside a mall with dancing fountains and a trolley. The retro space has multiple dining rooms for big groups, a leafy front patio, and a giant horseshoe-shaped bar where you can grab a dirty martini and fancy fries before heading over to AMC. But even if you aren’t going to the mall, American Beauty is a worthy dinner destination. Concentrate on the wood-grilled steaks, which includes a nicely charred hanger cut for $33, then sprinkle in some fun small plates like the jerk hamachi collar, charred broccolini caesar, and decadent hash browns stuffed with caramelized onions and sour cream." - Brant Cox
"American Beauty is opening a second branch on November 30, 2024, at the Grove, the iconic Los Angeles shopping mall. Like the Venice original, the new American Beauty has a horseshoe-shaped bar that faces an indoor-outdoor patio replete with fire pits and lounge seating. The interior by Frederick Fisher and Partners retains an eclectic modern charm. The menu, spearheaded by co-chefs Elisha Ben-Haim and Evan Hickey, reads less like a typical steakhouse and more like a rustic California Central Coast restaurant. The Grove outlet offers all-new lunch and brunch services, featuring dishes like a bluefin tuna grain bowl and challah French toast." - Matthew Kang
"Opening: Late Fall Christmas gifts, Zara sales items, and parking anxiety are our usual finds during a visit to The Grove, but soon, you can add a nicely seared steak to that list, too. Venice’s American Beauty is opening a second location in the former Wood Ranch space where you expect to find mainstays like dry-aged ribeyes, stuffed hashbrowns, and coal-roasted zucchini, plus lunch and weekend brunch service. They’ll also be launching a new location of their casual takeout concept The Win-Dow, which will serve smashburgers and fries from an attached window." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins
