The Scene
Designed by Thomas Schoos (Koi, Wilshire), this sensuously glam space is one of the shining stars of the once-rundown Cahuenga Corridor. It casts a decadent spell through three stunning areas: A grand front dining room, sultry back lounge, and starry alley patio ideal for smokers. Tall mirrors, votive candles and flickering chandeliers cast eerie shadows over celebs and scenesters chilling at cowhide-clad alcoves, the luxe mahogany bar and packed tables.

The Food
Southern-tinged comfort food is deftly and generously turned out and attractively presented. The half-pound of tender, piquant Cajun barbecued shrimp is a surefire starter. Green peppercorns nicely offset a hunk of flavorful filet mignon, while Southern fried chicken is perfectly moist inside with a light, crispy buttermilk-cayenne batter outside. The true standout, however, is the braised short ribs, fall-apart tender, richly unctuous and bathed in a red wine reduction nestled in creamy polenta.
