FIRST LOOK: Comme Ca

Posted in Los Angeles on March 31st, 2008

FIRST LOOK: Comme Ca
David Myers has flung open the doors of Comme Ca, his traditional French brasserie.

FINALEMENT, David Myers has flung open the doors of Comme Ca, his traditional French brasserie a short sprint away from his first restaurant, West Hollywood’s Sona. He’s gone for a warmer look here, but in a palette of white, gray and black that rhymes with the original. Instead of the glacial calm of Sona, Comme Ca (French for “like that”) has a madcap energy. At the cheese counter in front, the cheese guru is busy assembling tastes of raw milk Langres, obscure chèvre and cave-aged Roquefort for diners who have gotten that far in their meal; while at the raw bar, head bent, a cook frantically opens oysters for a grand plateau des fruits de mer . In between are the raw bar’s no-reservations tables, filled with diners who have lucked into a spot and are celebrating with glasses of sparkling Vouvray or Champagne. Twenty wines are available by the glass from the 120 label list.

At Catch, an endless summer
Santa Monica spot has an elegant vibe with an imaginative menu.

SUMMER is unraveling, the daylight hours shaved ever shorter. I’d just as soon kiss the long leisurely days goodbye over dinner at the beach, watching the rose-gold fade to dark from the windows of Catch, the new restaurant at Casa del Mar in Santa Monica. It’s one of only a few hotel restaurants with any ocean view along this part of the coast, and the view is straight on, just steps from the sand, with palm trees crowding against the windows.
