THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Sable Kitchen & Bar Restaurant Review:


Located in the hip Hotel Palomar, this glamorous, earth-toned dining room is full of stylish touches --- a mock fireplace across from the host stand, mirror-backed banquettes, marble details --- but the food strikes a decidedly more approachable note. The kitchen crafts a menu full of familiar, updated eats --- with an eye toward local ingredients. (Note: Former chef Heather Terhune has left the restaurant.) Warm, citrusy Cerignola olives are simple and honest, as are the corn-flecked hushpuppies with smoked paprika salt (though we were left wanting for sauce). From house-made beef jerky to crispy BLTs made with pork belly and buttermilk-fried chicken and waffles, you can pretty much point-and-pick. You’re not going to be knocked over by innovation, but you’ll likely be pleased, as we were, with the result. End your meal with the butterscotch pot de crème, served with an unlikely pairing of candied kumquats that really works. Cocktails round things off.
