Tower Bar Description:
The fenix (the former name of the restaurant at The Argyle Hotel, now the Sunset Tower Hotel) usually rises from its ashes. Here it is not the case. Hotel owner Jeff Klein, who brought The City Club and its famous bistro, db bistro moderne, onto the New York cosmopolitan scene, wants to reproduce the same success story on the Sunset Strip with the Tower Bar. Nestled in the hotel in what used to be Bugsy Siegel's apartment, the room, with a view of the city, has been decorated in an elegant Art Deco style, with warm wood panels adorned with pictures of, for once, actors that did not make it. The bar occupies a large section of the space, and makes the atmosphere vibrant. The menu of French- and Italian-influenced dishes, introduced by now-departed chef Dakota Weiss, includes leek pudding with white truffle oil and mushroom ceviche, slow-braised veal cheeks with oxtail and Swiss chard ravioli and turbot en papillote with Champagne. Maple syrup crème brûlée and a ginger-spice cake with poached Seckel pear and crème fraîche are dessert options.
