CPK Disappears from Brentwood

The two second floor restaurants in Brentwood Gardens Plaza, at 11677 San Vicente Blvd, have always been a bit problematic.  I’ve long wondered if perhaps it is due to the fact that they’re not street-level.  The space currently operated by Ospi has been through a number of excellent iterations over the years.  But the other space has been home to California Pizza Kitchen for a very long time.  Sadly, that chapter has come to a close.  Readers have been letting me know that CPK has vacated the space.  While there are still many locations around, this location was dear for many as it was their first encounter with the revolutionary California Cuisine brand that invented “The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza“.

Bottlefish Set To Shake Things Up In Brentwood

Recently, I noticed that signs have gone up on space #200 in Brentwood Gardens that used to house Daily Grill at 11677 San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood announcing that a brand new entity, Bottlefish appears to be moving in.  I couldn’t track down much on Bottlefish until I checked the ABC license application.  It indicates that the familiar names behind Bottlefish are Richard Rosenfield and Larry Flax, the founders of California Pizza Kitchen (they have since sold CPK a number of years back).  I’m not sure what the concept here will be, but I’m going out on a limb and guessing that fish will feature heavily, and possibly bottles too.  No word on an opening date, and construction is only just beginning, but I’ll keep watching.

Update:  Bottlefish is now open as of 12/08
