 Kate Mantilini Restaurant Review: This high-style restaurant offers a menu of dressed-up American food, plus hipper fare like ahi medallions with a ginger-lime vinaigrette from among the tapas/small plates selections. In the dramatically stark interior, we like the mural of the boxing match high above the bar. But once you get over the atmosphere, you’ll pay dearly for simple food that is decent: rotisserie chicken, baked potatoes with all the trimmings, macaroni and cheese, steaks, shellfish platters, and plenty of hearty breakfast fare. We do recommend the big, juicy, charbroiled pork chops, and enjoy the fresh sourdough bread on every table. You can tell this is an industry hangout: there are a number of healthy alternative dishes, plus “The Wildly Wonderful Cannes Film Festival Salad” featuring smoked salmon, organic greens and a fire-grilled sourdough spear slathered with duck pâté. Desserts range from Kate’s chocolate layer cake to the candy bar ice cream pie. A full bar is available. Also located at 5921 Owensmouth Ave., Woodland Hills, 818-348-1095.
