Paley seeks to revive old Hollywood glamour to Sunset Boulevard, and the new mid-century stunner is doing just that. Former Church & State chef Greg Bernhardt is behind the plush restaurant's New American, heavily Japanese accented plates, and, unlike most Los Angeles restaurants, you'll need a reservation to get in. As far as drinks are concerned, expect quality spirits paired with fresh ingredients, as found in the tipple below.
