Review: The Georgian Room Still Feels Like an Underground Gem

Eater LA

“The Georgian Room, a glamorous subterranean supper club hidden beneath Santa Monica’s the Georgian hotel, remains notoriously difficult to find. That’s by design. During the Prohibition, it operated under the name ‘the Griffin Room,’ a de facto speakeasy where the Hollywood elite brushed elbows with the criminal underground’s most infamous names."

Food & Wine Best New Chef Restaurant Guide - Los Angeles

Food & Wine

The Los Angeles Restaurant Guide features 31 restaurants and interviews with seven chefs, including Nancy Silverton, Suzanne Goin, Jon Yao, Sarah Kramer, Sarah Hymanson, Katianna Hong, and Wedchayan Arpapornnopparat.

“Los Angeles’ formidable dining scene comes from its patchwork of communities, wrangled together in a land of year-round sun and Edenic produce. Driving 45 minutes to a strip mall for a meal doesn’t seem so outlandish here. Neither does brushing shoulders with A-listers at dinner.
