New on Resy: Canary, Edobox by Makoto, H&H Brazilian Steakhouse, and More

Take a seat at this Mediterranean-inflected poolside rendezvous at West Hollywood’s Kimpton La Peer Hotel, from the same team behind nearby Olivetta and The Draycott in Pacific Palisades. Pro tip: Don’t forget your sunscreen.

You’ll want to think inside the box at chef Makoto Okuwa’s indoor-outdoor contemporary hideaway in the heart of Santa Monica. A protégé of famed Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, Okuwa features a first-rate selection of sushi, sashimi, and assorted appetizers, but don’t sleep on his bento boxes with black cod miso, Japanese fried chicken, or wasabi fried rice.

Right this way for a veritable banquet of New York-style Chinese food, live music, and “Foo Foo” drinks — think Szechuan Margaritas and Hebrew School Mai Tais (with a float of Manischewitz wine) — in a luminous atmosphere of red booths and hanging lanterns.

You’ll think you’ve been magically transported from downtown Santa Monica to Fiji or Bali when you step into this tropical paradise of a cocktail lounge. Lush greenery is everywhere, the lighting is romantic, and there’s live music for dancing. Mixologist Devon Espinosa draws inspiration from Mexico, the Caribbean, and South Pacific, and of course, the Canary Islands to create a menu of signature cocktails that leave the usual tiki drinks waving from the shore.

Now here’s a refreshing variation on DIY: at this bright seafood-focused restaurant a few blocks from Venice Beach, you pour your own beer, cider, hard seltzer, or wine from a room-length wall of self-serve taps. Chef Jason Fullilove, known for updated soul food at his Barbara Jean LA, matches the drinks with everything from lobster rolls to whole fried pink Hawaiian snapper.

This new rooftop lounge with a Côte d’Azur vibe and SoCal flair crowns the Thompson Hollywood hotel. Come on up to Bar Lis, where the cocktails are colorful and cool, the snacks are seductive, and the views are breathtaking.

Henrique Huyer, a 10-year veteran of the Fogo de Chão churrascaria empire, gives the Brazilian steakhouse model a new accent here. Grass-fed meats, local produce, an organic salad bar, and a prime selection of South American wines — including some from Brazil — make this handsome marble-and-wood-framed downtown L.A. dining room a whole new experience.

Pizza, steaks, and Italian-style seafood in an elegant atmosphere a block from the sand? Right this way to Zane’s, the kind of dress-up or dress-down eatery every California neighborhood should have. Pro tip: don’t miss the signature cioppino.
