Ditmas Kitchen & Cocktails Opens in Los Angeles
0 COMMENTS
Chef Alex Reznick, which many might remember from Top Chef and La Seine Restaurant,
opened his NY-Inspired restaurant yesterday, called Ditmas Kitchen and Cocktails.
The restaurant is located at 8731 West Pico Blvd. in the former location of the short-lived LA version of Bocca Steakhouse. The American eatery is under Kehillah Kosher and will be open just for dinner in their first few weeks.
la.eater describes the restaurant as sporting two identities.
"On one hand it's a restaurant dressed as a lounge with a rustic-style 20-foot communal table and some bar seatage, and on the other hand it's a white tablecloth joint with oversized round booths and assorted bare lightbulbs. But through and through Ditmas is a place inspired by Reznik's Brooklyn childhood, his mother and grandmother's cooking, and the Avenue on which he grew up, Ditmas. His new York share plate menu ranges from a house-made pretzel with horseradish mustard, whitefish rillettes with house-made brioche, and seasonal pickled vegetables; to duck consommé with smaltz matzo balls; to a 24-hour braised short rib with butternut squash polenta.Over in the drinks department, expect $8 to $13 craft cocktails made with seasonal fruits/veg and small batch spirits, plus craft beer from the west coast and Europe."
