Double Take

Double Take Restaurant Review:

Double Take is part of Hotel Palomar's property-wide renovation. The restaurant merges raw, repurposed materials from old Hollywood soundstages with abstract artwork and dramatic hanging light fixtures. Executive chef Bryan Podgorski (Bouchon Las Vegas) is at the helm, offering an American menu that includes deviled eggs with Maine lobster and young celery leaf, and pan-roasted salmon with delicata squash, tokyo turnips, collard greens and sauce soubise. Breakfast features a grain bowl with toasted barley, green harissa, forest mushrooms, pickled red onions, market greens and a soft-poached egg. The beverage program specializes in cocktails utilizing local produce alongside a curated wine selection and local craft brews.
