Great food and mixologists on the Westside?
That's what I'm looking for.
I like The Tasting Kitchen and Lukshon (Waterloo & City not so much) but am interested in trying someplace new.

My favorite mixologist is at 3110 (nee Cache/Hidden). Hungry Cat is about to open in the Santa Monica Canyon, that should suit you perfectly.

Yogachik, hows the food & menu at 3110? Haven't heard any buzz yet....

I have only had the happy hour food there in the lounge. So yes, do tell how the food is.
There are so many seating areas, but the actual bar looks like a nice option (versus the tables inside).
Can't wait for Hungry Cat!

COPA D'ORO has fantastic cocktails but it's a bar and serves only a few food items. FIG could meet your needs for good food & cocktails.

Agreed. Been to both.
I think the Westside is in need of more such establishments

Westside Tavern has good food and mixologists on hand. Upper West too to a lesser degree on the cocktails.
