I recently visited Neighborly, a new food hall at The Promenade at Westlake, and let me tell you--it's a total game changer! Created by the same team behind Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop (Ghost) Kitchen, Neighborly blends a modern restaurant experience with a gourmet marketplace. Their multi-brand, single-kitchen setup makes it effortless to enjoy chef-driven menus and premium prepared foods, whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or shopping for gourmet snacks.
The food hall features an impressive lineup of eateries:
*What's Gaby Cookin': California-inspired salads, sandwiches, and bowls
*Joan's on Third: Grab-and-go meals
*The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills: Sicilian pizzas, pastas, and family-sized salads
*Mini Kabob: Fresh Mediterranean grill
*Social Monk: Modern Asian dishes
*Flour Shop: Gourmet cookies, cakes, and sweet treats
I couldn't resist trying a little something from almost every menu:
*Gaby's Caesar Club Wrap: Crispy chicken, bacon, avocado, kale, and romaine wrapped in a flour tortilla with house Caesar dressing--a delicious balance of crunchy and creamy.
*Spicy Fusilli Vodka Pasta: Housemade fusilli in a luscious, creamy vodka sauce with garlic, Calabrian chili flakes, and burrata--pure comfort in a bowl.
*Kid's Rice Bowl: A healthy, flavorful mix of protein, hummus, and Shirazi salad served over basmati rice with tzatziki--simple and satisfying.
*Princess Chicken & Veggies: Wok-seared chicken in a signature sauce with fresh broccoli, green beans, bok choy, cabbage, snap peas, and Thai basil, topped with green onion and cilantro--packed with flavor and freshness.
*The LA Chop: Roasted chicken breast, salami, parmesan, provolone, fresh mozzarella, red onion, grape tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, and peperoncini, all on a crisp lettuce blend with a side of red wine vinaigrette--a hearty and refreshing salad.
*Pecorino Pesto Pasta: Homemade fusilli tossed with pecorino, pistachio cream pesto, roasted tomatoes, aged scamorza, and torn basil. While the flavors and pasta were spot-on, it was a bit too greasy for my taste.
One of the best parts about Neighborly is how easy it is to mix and match dishes to satisfy any craving. It's perfect for families, groups, or even solo diners, and the marketplace is a great spot to stock up on gourmet goodies for later.
If you ever find yourself wondering, "What's good to eat?"--this is your answer. Neighborly makes dining an experience to savor!
