New to Global Dining Access Los Angeles

Ka’teen, Night + Market, and More: How to Access L.A.’s Best in Summer 2022

By Cait Teegarden Updated: June 2, 2022

We’re midway through one of the most wonderful slivers of seasons in L.A.: pre-summer summer. It’s right after that beautiful two weeks where the temporary exodus of residents to Coachella allows for roomier hospitality experiences, and right before the ACs get cranked up to the max. But through it all, our favorite restaurants have been keeping things exciting.

Perhaps subliminally inspired by this summer’s blockbusters, or riding the wave of nostalgia that periodically sweeps the culture, many (but not all) of the new additions to the roster of Global Dining Access by Resy can be found in the heart of Hollywood. Set a date and enjoy exclusive access to restaurants as an American Express premium card member — there are no wrong choices here.

Our most recent list of options in Los Angeles offers variety: Get lost the Yucatan paradise that is Ka’teen. Experience the well-deserved hype that’s been brought back to life at Horses. Become (once again) beholden to the sorcery of Nancy Silverton at The Barish. The complete list of this season’s noteworthy spots awaits just below.

KA’TEEN

Hollywood

In the heart of Hollywood, Ka’Teen has emerged. Its sprawling, mostly outdoor location invokes flavors of the Yucatan Peninsula — in this case dreamed up by powerhouse chef Wes Avila, whose Guerilla Tacos made us realize that tacos are neither high nor low but an empirically perfect food form. His latest, clubby destination is an escape within the city where you’ll find fresh takes on ancient cuisine (and a robust mezcal selection).

THE VIBE

A tropical garden space where the rhythms of Tulum reverberate from the DJ’s speakers.

DON’T MISS

The ceviche selection is a beautiful and bright way to start the meal. Go big (huge?) with the 32-ounce carne asada or the lamb barbacoa for the table.

BY THE WAY

If you’re interested in a beverage-forward evening, there’s a pared-down bar menu to accompany your sips of specialty cocktails.

The Barish

Hollywood

To live inside the ever-brewing mind of Nancy Silverton … In her latest concept, named for her paternal grandmother, the iconic chef reconfigures the classic 19th-century steakhouse. You’ll find Old World classics that weave together ingenuity and Silverton’s signature Italian-American style, all against the historic backdrop of the Hotel Roosevelt.

THE VIBE

Another “Old Hollywood” spot whose walls holds rumors and secrets of A-listers from eras past.

DON’T MISS

The supporting cast that accompanies the variety of beef cuts is destination-worthy on its own. The steak tartare is nothing like you’ve ever seen before, the pizza fritta will have you jockeying for the last bite, and the rigatoni (al forno) stuffed with goat cheese more than satisfies.

BY THE WAY

If you’re trying to squeeze in a solid meal before a show, check out the special menu meant for theater-goers.

chi SPACCA

Hollywood

If you can’t get enough of Nancy Silverton’s steak mastery, forget not Chi Spacca. Here you will find Italian dining interpreted through the lens of deep appreciation for meat and the many ways in which it delights — including, yes, plenty of steak, but also Silverton’s nonpareil salumi work, and more.

THE VIBE

Candlelight, worn-in wood, and walls of fine cuts as far as the eye can see.

DON’T MISS

You’re at a restaurant whose name translates to “he who cleaves,” so the 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse or the 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop would be safe bets.

BY THE WAY

Always a pioneer, Silverton brought the first dry-cure program to L.A. as means to mastering the Italian charcuterie on site.

Horses

Hollywood

It’s a beautiful thing when the roads of hype and reality converge, and this marriage is what has kept Horses the talk of the town since opening last year. Chefs Will Aghajanian and Liz Johnson bring star power from past stints — including Noma in Copenhagen, Per Se in New York, and Freedman’s in L.A. — to revive the Hollywood space formerly held by longtime industry hangout Ye Coach and Horses. Diners can sidle up for some classic cocktails and hit after hit on the So Cal bistro-style menu. No flops in sight.

THE VIBE

A European bistro with echoes of old Hollywood flair, and also echoes of new Hollywood sizzle.

DON’T MISS

The Cornish hen and dandelion panzanella is a chef’s favorite, but as simple as it sounds, the burger and fries are number one on the call sheet.

BY THE WAY

Film buffs may find it interesting that original bar was British-themed when studios transitioned from silent films to “talkies” … and the Brits allegedly had more desirable accents.

NIGHT+MARKET WeHo

West Hollywood

Night+Market is a party that keeps on growing — now three locations and counting. And chef Kris Yenbamroong has tuned his own “L.A. Thai” style into an art form. That means bold, spicy flavors that pay homage to L.A.’s laudable Thai-restaurant history (including that of Yenbamroong’s own family) but also a vibrant experience that channels very 2022 good times.

THE VIBE

Electrifying ambiance. Stunning flavors. Killer playlist.

DON’T MISS

Get your senses tingling from the playful larb menu, and then move on to one of the new specialties like the three flavor whole fish or crispy five spice pork belly. Don’t forget an order of sticky rice — it’s essential.

BY THE WAY

Night+Market’s menu has long been tailored to pair with a robust selection of natural wines that reflects Yenbamroong’s fascination with them, down to the pét-nat on the cover of his cookbook.

Gwen Specialty Butcher Shop and Restaurant

Hollywood

OK, maybe we have meat on the brain, but we’re very here for the mix at Gwen, where cheffy expertise and superb butchery combine forces in a Wonder Twins way. Chef Curtis Stone (Maude) and his brother Luke put the craft of butchery on elegant display with fire-based techniques. Guests can choose from an á la carte or five-course menu to make the most of their experience in a stunner of a dining room.

THE VIBE

European butcher meets L.A. fine dining.

DON’T MISS

The charcuterie is the most efficient way to sample the highlights. A new menu also features an impressive 18-hour lamb shank. If pasta is your go-to, choose the saffron pappardelle with rabbit ragú.

BY THE WAY

The retail butcher shop attached to the restaurant is your move to enjoy these deep cuts at home.

Birdie G’s

Santa Monica

A cherished member of the Rustic Canyon family, Birdie G’s is a welcomed nostalgic and comforting haven when you’re headed to the western part of the Westside. Award-winning chef Jeremy Fox rallies the team to offer up a generously sized menu that celebrates ageless classics with whimsy. Local ingredients are treated with care in dishes that taste familiar, but new.

THE VIBE

Expansive with a leafy inside-outside industrial feel.

DON’T MISS

Feel at home in the matzo ball soup with carrot miso or be one of the lucky ones who gets the fried half chicken with dill hot sauce (only 14 available daily!). Cap the meal with a slice of the “world famous” rose-petal pie.

BY THE WAY

The wine list is massive, but fret not, Sommelier Kobi Tsesarsky is a trusty navigator. Dabbling has its advantages on a Monday night, when you can get 25% off bottles $100 or more.

Angler Los Angeles

Beverly Grove

Looking to the sea for culinary inspiration, chef Joshua Skenes pulls from his network of local fishermen, hunters, gatherers, ranchers, and farmers to develop his seafood-forward concept at Angler, the L.A. edition of his popular San Francisco restaurant. Most things on the menu of local bounty are thrown into the prominent hearth, inscribing every bite with charred smokiness.

THE VIBE

Upscale nautical, with a wood fire.

DON’T MISS

Skenes’ cooking methodology heightens ingredients like whole sea bream or king crab. The angler potato with sauce from Sonoma cheeses is a beautifully layered side to share. There’s also an option for pancakes with banana butter and caviar if you are trying to have *that* kind of brunch.

BY THE WAY

Skenes is both an avid outdoorsman and a master at divining what makes food types go wild, which explains the deluxe, mysterious experience on his private ranch in Washington (invitation by request only).
