And The Name Of The New Restaurant Is… Estate

Back in late February, I told you about an ABC application posted on the vacant space at 1519 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica that used to house The Parlor.  The applicant was listed as Estate 1519, which I assumed was a working name.  Well, as it turns out, the new restaurant will indeed be named Estate as indicated by the sample menu that they recently posted in the window.  According to the Yelp page, Estate is up and running (possibly a soft opening) as of this week and the (positive) reviews are trickling in.  The menu, designed by Chef Hisashi Yoshiara (Buddha’s Belly) appears to be an eclectic mix of Asian influences and Californian cuisine that you can check out in the photo below.

“Estate 1519” Coming Soon To SM

The space at 1519 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica has sat vacant for an extremely long time.  For those with excellent memories, the space was built for Cinch restaurant and after that failed, The Parlor took over but went under after complaints from the neighbors.  It’s been empty since about 2010.  Well all that is about to change.  Construction is underway and a new ABC license has posted indicating that we will soon see a new inhabitant.  The license names the applicant as Estate 1519, but that’s probably just a working name. I can’t seem to uncover any information and the construction people have no clue, so we may have to wait to see what’s actually coming.  Hopefully it won’t take long…
