Brentwood Restaurant and Lounge Description:
Westside restaurateur Bruce Marder has successfully created a restaurant with the look and feel of an intimate neighborhood club in Brentwood Village, appealing to an upscale crowd that likes its comforts. Banquettes and booths line the walls, one of which is mirrored to visually double the cozy space. A well-stocked bar with a plasma-screen TV occupies the street side, changing art displays add interest, and classic jazz and blues play subtly in the background. It all adds up to the ideal ambience for sophisticated takes on classic grill food. Steaks and chops star, among which we like the 22-ounce prime rib chop, the jumbo pork chop with honey-rosemary glaze, and a New York steak for two with Tuscan-style beans. But we've also been lured away by high-quality seafood specials, accomplished pastas and topnotch burgers, not to mention intriguing variations on home-style favorites like chicken potpie, here a light stew of boneless chicken and farmers market produce with a flakey buttermilk biscuit. Vegetable dishes, from appetizer salads to sides, are uniformly first-rate. So, too, are the desserts, including seasonal pies and cobblers and made-to-order miniature donuts with three dipping sauces.
