A California bistro operating on the patio of the Luxe Sunset Boulevard hotel, built for business lunches and weekend brunch in a lush Brentwood setting minutes from The Getty Center. The menu leans upscale-casual with hotel-caliber execution—lobster rolls, a truffle-topped burger, Scottish salmon—serviceable for the occasion rather than destination-worthy on its own. Best suited for guests who want a polished outdoor meal with valet convenience rather than a food-first outing.
