The Happy Ending Looks Kinda Sad Today

HOLLYWOOD: We know, we know, again with the Hollywood. That's just where the news is coming from today. Here we have a rather good iPhone snap of The Happy Ending on Sunset Boulevard, and it doesn't look quite so happy today. We got this announcement from Thrillist last week, which generally means something's open, but chef and co-owner Matthew Gladstone told us that hopefully by "mid next week." Which puts us at today with that sad picture. Gladstone told Thrillist about the cocktails obviously named by frat boys (Blow Jobs, Red Headed Sluts, etc.); to us, he touts "an Upscale Dive Bar, a Restaurant that serves Global 'Gourmet' Comfort Food...." Guess he knows his audience. Place your bets: Happy Ending will open late this week, if not next.

This place just screams class. I can't wait until this guy opens his next venture, Jack Meoff's Café.

I sat in traffic in front of it yesterday and could not stop laughing. Glad someone got a good picture of it.

we've loved Matthew's cooking ever since we had a great meal of his during a bad concert at The Mint a few years ago. It made the night a success. Been looking for him ever since, hoping to eat his food again - we'll be driving almost 80 miles to join him for a meal on a regular basis whenever they open (even though the drink names are juvenile - the food is sublime . . .)

I guess whoever had the extra time to take that picture, is a competitor and, not a very succefull one at that!

i dont know the construction biz. or the restaurant biz, however, i DO know, that this is the collest, most laid back, bar and restaurant in LA and lives up to its name... 'something for everyone!'

we had Chef Matthew Gladstone's crab cakes, spicy ribs and mustard-bacon salmon tonight, and think it rivals food of any 5 star restaurant in the city. Just more fun and more interesting: AND A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER!!
do yourself a favor, and chef out the next hottest spot in the city, before you cant get in!!!
