We began with cocktails chosen from the the ‘For Every
Season’ signature menu – a THE BVLD for him
(Hanger One Vodka, Combier Framboise, lime juice,
blackberry, mint and Fever Tree club soda) and of
course I had to try the Pretty Woman (Moet & Chandon,
Belvedere Vodka, Combier Peche De Vigne, lemon
juice, raspberries, egg white and rose petal) – before
being inundated with beautifully presented, full-of-
flavour dishes from the well-conceived and expertly
executed menu.
We were delighted by the sharing plate of crisp black
truffle and comte fritters and vegetable medley, complete
with animal-shaped toast and breads for the children,
and our appetizers of perfectly seared scallops with
black olive oil and the tuna tartare with a subtle kick
of wasabi. Equally delightful were our entrées of dry
aged Wagyu – perfectly pink with charred cauliflower
hummus and gooseberry – and the free-range half roast
chicken with potatoes, marinated artichokes and garlic
butter. And we simply had to make room for dessert
to try the intriguing wonder of the sweet potato
doughnuts and the apple pudding cake delivered by
Executive Pastry Chef, Chris Ford.
No stay in L.A. would be complete without a visit.

LOS ANGELES MUST EAT: Sweet Chick
Having taken the New York brunch scene
by storm, Sweet Chick L.A. is the first West
Coast offering by this contemporary gourmet
chicken and waffle empire. Their modern
take on American comfort food philosophy
is simple: great food, a cool vibe and
interesting cocktails at a great price, and
their delivery is amazing.
Located on the contemporary Fairfax
Avenue, West Hollywood, the dining room
is industrial urban – think exposed brick
walls, high wooden bar stools, metal and
glass shelves, and simple leather banquette
benches and metal chairs at tables for two,
with chalkboards offering daily specials. The
bar, if you can get a seat, is a great place to
hang out and sample the intriguingly named
cocktails (the Sweet Chick/Side Chick and
the Tiger Tiger Woods Y’all were our faves),
as well as the less lethal homemade
lemonades.
waffles. But not just any waffles. How about
dried cherry or spiced pecan, or apple and
cinnamon. And this wasn’t just fried chicken;
this was a taste explosion, can’t-get-enough
crispy, spicy, chicken heaven.
We highly recommend the Chicken
with Bacon N Cheddar Waffles and the
Sweet Chick Bucket with fried chicken,
buttermilk biscuit and Kohirabi slaw
(devoured so quickly we had to order a
second!) with a side order of both home and
shoestring fries.
