Red O

Two of SRC’s clients make the list of LA’s sexiest new restaurants, says Zagat

in ,

Vespaio is a headliner when it comes to design and its food! Zagat The restaurant made their list of the 13 Sexiest New Restaurants in LA. Vespaio is the newest location in chef and owner Ago Sciandri’s collection of restaurants. Located on Broadway, it’s just “a strand of tagliatelle's reach away from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Music Center, MOCA, and the newly opened Broad Museum.” So if you’re making plans to head downtown to see an exhibit or hear some music, make plans to stop by and get a quick bite or meal. (225 S. Broadway Ave., 213-221-7244)

Red O Santa Monica also made that list with their newest location right on Ocean Avenue. Designed by Judy Van Wyck, this location has a cross-over beachy theme matched alongside Mediterranean touches. (1541 Ocean Ave., 310-458-1600)

Congrats to both of our long-time clients!

SRC News:

Recently opened Red O Santa Monica appears in Haute Living. 

This looks better than a Bloomin' Onion: Jon & Vinny's recipe for cornmeal-fried spring onions with chile aioli. Yum.

 

News and notable:

A NYC bakery that will hire anyone.

See pics of Clifton's Cafeteria, which opened last week/will open some time this week. 

We're more wine snobs (or pretend to be) but if you like craft beers in LA, you'll like this.

Or, maybe you prefer craft cocktails?
