Red O in Santa Monica opens this Saturday August 1

The third Red O restaurant, with kitchens designed by Shambra Restaurant Consulting, opens this weekend, right on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica.

SRC reconfigured the existing bar, updated the kitchen layout, and provide new equipment and installation to update the former 41 Ocean restaurant space. Completely reinvented, this Red O location brings Rick Bayless' newest iteration right where it always belonged--oceanside with a perfect view.

Eater LA is running a set of interior pictures to start your mouth watering for the opening event this weekend.

Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo tap SRC for Jon and Vinny's

Jon and Vinny's is the newest collaboration between Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo and Shambra Restaurant Consulting.  Converting the former Damiano's Pizzeria, the duo and SRC fitted an efficient cook line, prep areas, storage and refrigeration into the tiny space.  Up front, the open kitchen is on display at the sushi-like dining counter.  

SRC recently worked with Shook and Dotolo along with Ludo Lefebvre on their wildly successful Trois Mec.  We want to wish Jon and Vinny the best of luck! Salut!
