What’s Going On At The Old Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge Space?

Brentwood Village is having a moment…  There’s a new ABC application on the front door of 148 S Barrington Ave. in Brentwood Village, previously home to beloved local hotspot Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge and ill-fated Baja Norte.  The space is completely gutted, and there’s not much information on the new eatery.  But if you examine the ABC application, a familiar name is listed: Dana Slatkin.  Dana Slatkin is none other than one of the people behind Westwood’s French culinary powerhouse Violet.  The business name on the application is listed as “Glenbarr”, but what I’m hearing is that the new business’ name will be The Wilkes.  (I do not have confirmation for this.)  Rumor has it this will be a return to the loungey superclub feel of the old Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge.  You’ve got my attention…

Violet Coming Soon To Westwood

 

 

It looks like the lucky students at UCLA are about to get a new eatery.   An ABC application taped to the front of the space that used to be the home of Saks Teriyaki at 1121 S Glendon Ave in Westwood let’s us know that a new restaurant, Violet, is moving in.  Not sure of an opening date, or much else for that matter including whether or not it is related to previous restaurants bearing the same name, but I’ll keep watching…

Update:  Eater got the skinny of Violet.  Read the details here.
