Birdie G's Opens Monday, and Everyone Wants a Table

Every so often a restaurant opens and the whole city starts asking the same question: can you get me in?

This season, that restaurant is Birdie G's. It opens Monday, October 26, at 2025 Avenue of the Stars, inside the Fairmont Century Plaza. Haute Living calls it the reservation of the season, and I would not argue.

The practical details

Birdie G's will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus brunch on weekends. That is a full day's worth of options, which makes it easy to fit into a schedule. A breakfast meeting, a lunch with a client, or a dinner you have been meaning to book all work here.

If you want a table in the first weeks, I would book early. A reservation described that way tends to disappear fast.

Why I mention restaurants at all

People do not buy in Los Angeles only for the house. They buy for the mornings, the weekends and the places they can walk or drive to. When a restaurant like this opens, it becomes part of how people describe a neighborhood, and that matters to anyone thinking about where to live.

One for the Palisades

For my Palisades clients, there is also news closer to home. Nancy Silverton's Spacca Tutto at Palisades Village has been open since October 15. If you have been waiting for a reason to spend an evening in the Village, this is a good one.

I have spent more than 20 years in this city, and I have learned that a good table does as much to make a place feel like home as any floor plan. So if you get a reservation at Birdie G's, enjoy it. And if you cannot, there is always Spacca Tutto.
