LOVE Mentone! Atmosphere, execution, bar and staff are top notch. Can’t think of a comparable spot in LA that hits all those notes so perfectly.

has better bar, equally as good food. change my mind
Of course we have terrific food in LA but Mentone has a level of accessibility and a relaxed atmosphere that doesn’t exist here. Staff is knowledgeable and engaged. Room is nicely lit, spacious and beautifully designed. Just an enjoyable experience start to end.

Spoke with Jeremy Fox last night. He confirmed Sergio Kinch will be cooking from the Mentone menu at the upcoming Birdie G’s event in Santa Monica.
