A new classy restaurant is now present in Hollywood from the creators of MOOD and MyHouse. I'm wondering if this is the spot that Lamar Odom was investing in...looks similar to the one he ate at with Rob Dyrdek on Fantasy Factory...if you saw the episode you know what I'm talking about. Write up below:
The first restaurant from David Judaken's Syndicate Group (Mood, MyHouse), East reveals itself slowly. A 10-foot-wide glass fireplace keeps the front lounge visible from the street, its paper walls and Balinese yoga chairs flickering mysteriously behind flame. Past that, a raw bar like a block of ice, where you might enjoy your sashimi with Miso-Mustard Cream or Southwestern Chipotle-Lime Sauce.
And then: a black lacquered chef's table, risen up from the floor by gnarled trunks, rooted at the gateway to the main dining room out back. Under a 65-foot skylight far, far above, you'll want to snag one of the carved-wood confessional-style booths across the rear wall. (Yes, designer Dodd Mitchell was here.) After some ceviche prepared tableside, and some Caviar With Truffle Crème Fraîche if you're really buying all this recession-over talk, the time will come for French-Asian-ish shared plates of Carpaccio and Tartar With Quail Egg and Drunken Sake-Infused Tofu.
Official opening is October 6th, the website is here.
