Maradentro Will Not Be Returning To Brentwood

It was back in 2015 when I first learned that the commodious corner space at Wilshire and Barrington was going to be Maradentro.  Known for their stiff cocktails and excellent crab dip, Maradentro has largely sat idle since the first round of shutdowns.  I’d been watching the restaurant to see signs of life since I had no confirmation of permanent closure.  Until now…  A reader informed me that there is now a for lease sign out front so I think it’s safe to say they don’t intend on reopening.
