In the evolution of a Hollywood nightclub named Hyde and iconic building along the Sunset Strip once known as the Coconut Teaser, SBE expands its VIP lounge brand to include a proper kitchen helmed by former Top Chef alum and dining room penned by the designer of LA's Soho House. The result is a design triumph in a freestanding restaurant space with showy valet and grand entrance that's one of the most staffed restaurants you'll find in the city. Inside, a living room aesthetic prevails with stunning hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls and leather-tufted banquettes that wrap-around a circular fireplace feature. Walls of glass frame a new, outdoor terrace that more protected from traffic noise and likely to be ground-zero for an all new generation of Hyde kids.

The Food

Upon first sight the menu by Top Chef alum Chris Crary reminded us of Gjelina in Venice - with its long list of invariable small and larger plates that include herb focaccia, heirloom panzanella, shrimp toast and charred broccolini with burrata. Standout larger plates include a great veal tartare, fired chicken sliders, squid ink linguine and braised beef cheek on celery root puree.

Last Word

Hyde finds new home with dining room, lounge and terrace along Sunset Strip with interiors by the designer of LA’s Soho House.
