Inventive American bistro with creative cocktails and comfort food
"Setting up at Culver City’s the Corner Door on July 15, the pop-up bar Garibaldi will pour creative cocktails—like a salt and vinegar martini—and offer food to pair with the drinks." - Rebecca Roland
"There’s no meal more comforting for me than chicken parmesan. So in a year as sh*tty as this one, I was very happy to discover Parm Boyz’s residency at The Corner Door in Culver City. The chicken parm is pounded thin and extremely crispy, but is still moist, and the eggplant parm nails that happy medium between too-dry and too-mushy. Both versions take me back to some of my favorite meals from my childhood, eating tremendous Italian-American food in Boston’s North End, and I suspect this isn’t a coincidence, since the chef is from Lynn, MA, just north of Boston. They also put their own spin on other classics - like garlic bread stuffed with burrata, mascarpone, and cream cheese, and a Caesar salad with brown butter croutons - that set the mood just as well as the red checkered tablecloths. - BK" - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery
"A Culver City dining spot that has expanded its outdoor footprint to three separate outdoor dining areas to accommodate a new rotating menu residency; the venue will host the aforementioned Italian-American pop-up on Thursday–Saturday evenings and is set up to support both on-site dining and off-premise orders through delivery platforms." - Matthew Kang
"This cozy interior of one of Culver City’s favorite cocktail bars begs you to stay a while (the sidewalk seating isn’t bad, either). A surprisingly substantial food menu ranges from eats like oysters to short-rib tacos to an 8-ounce dry-aged rib-eye, but it’s the deft hands behind the bar that keeps the neighborhood regulars coming back. Stick to tried-and-true basics like a drafted Botanist G&T with citrus (why make G&Ts one at a time when you can simply put them on draft?)." - Vox Creative
"A big focus on cocktails makes this Culver City bar stand out, but anytime favorites like a burger and fries and fish tacos don’t hurt either. You’re here for the drinks, of course, and you can always expect the ‘tenders to do something interesting with the classic, like their summer-ready take on the margarita, the Kelly’s Caddy, which incorporates Espolón blanco, lime, bell pepper shrub, and Grand Marnier. Whether you stop by for discounted fare at happy hour or you wander in late, you’ve got nothing to lose but time." - Vox Creative
