This one's for the locals--Silver Lake's retro-modern restaurant and bar receives the neighborhood's seal of approval.. In Short
Showcasing a spacious, sexy interior with high ceilings and walls lined with red leather booths, this space is, contrary to its name, more than just a bar. In fact, it's a full-service restaurant that gets extra jammed come Friday and Saturday nights. The owners (also behind the Bugalow Club on Melrose) are also contemplating installing a sushi bar upstairs. While it's painful to see this space trying so hard to be everything at once, the good news is that management seems very open to feedback from the neighborhood. And if the locals who've already embraced the place have anything to say about it, this spot won't share the fate of former occupant Zen Sushi.
