This suburban edition of Beverly Hills’ famed Grill on the Alley retains the clubby environment as the original---cozy leather booths, abundant dark wood and starched white linen---while adding some more contemporary accents. The menu is modeled after the original, showcasing reliable classics like Cobb and Caesar salads, steaks and chops, chicken potpie and even a domestic Kobe burger with truffle aïoli, all consumed with hand-crafted cocktails or wines from a more than respectable list heavy on big name California and French producers. Guests begin with Grill standards like the chopped salad with blue cheese dressing, an abundant shrimp cocktail or lobster bisque before moving on to USDA Prime steaks, trout amandine or specials like a Parmesan-crusted Chilean sea bass with mustard sauce. The menu is extensive, right through to a dessert selection that includes signatures like carrot cake and house-made Key lime pie. Despite crisp execution by a seasoned, professional staff, this locale doesn’t offer quite the same pampered experience as the Beverly Hills original, but it’s a good option in Westlake Village’s growing repertoire of dining spots.
