THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED NAMES The Hall Restaurant Review:

A stone’s throw from La Cienega’s restaurant row, The Hall serves as an oasis in this busy area of town. Walk through the eclectically decked out Palihouse Holloway; its trendsetting style serves as eye candy before heading to the inviting indoor-outdoor courtyard cut out in the center of the hotel. Come here to experience casual French brasserie fare. (Chef Gary Menes has now departed the stoves.) Tables are truly in salon-style, charming in white marble and wrought iron. Napkins that lay across the lap are French-style kitchen towels. Dishes may include a salade roquette, baby beets, pistachios and red wine vinaigrette; moules marinière; ricotta gnocchi, summer vegetables and sauce pistou; and leg of lamb, haricots verts, spring onions and barley pilaf. The wine list is short and emphasizes French wines from Provence, Rhône and Languedoc Roussillon.
