What's Happening?
Hermon's, a new sophisticated bistro, has opened in the Hermon neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles. This development comes after the Last Word hospitality team's original plans to open a restaurant in Malibu
were thwarted by a fire that destroyed the historic former sheriff's station on Pacific Coast Highway. Co-founders Holly Fox and Adam Weisblatt have introduced Hermon's as a tribute to their original concept, featuring a menu with elevated yet approachable dishes. The restaurant is located in a former church banquet hall and is already being embraced by locals as a welcome addition to the dining scene. The menu, crafted by chef David Kolender, includes creative American bistro-style dishes such as a decadent cheeseburger, steak frites, and mushroom bourguignon.
Why It's Important?
The opening of Hermon's represents a significant addition to the dining options in Northeast Los Angeles, an area that has been seeking more sophisticated dining experiences. The restaurant's establishment not only fills a culinary gap in the Hermon neighborhood but also showcases resilience and adaptability in the face of setbacks, such as the Malibu fire. This development highlights the potential for growth and revitalization in less commercialized areas of Los Angeles, contributing to the local economy and community vibrancy. The success of Hermon's could inspire similar ventures, promoting culinary diversity and innovation in the region.
