The Dish: Musha Reopened, Happy Ending Starts
Monday, October 1, 2007

SANTA MONICA: By all accounts, it looks like Musha is back in business. A hound and a small party spent little money on lots of food and even more sake. "Ventilation" problems or no, there are some happy izakaya fans out there right about now. [424 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, 310.576.6330]

HOLLYWOOD: If the Happy Ending looked sad on Tuesday, it raged by the weekend. The "global bar food" restaurant and bar with frat-boy cocktails has debuted. From a reader: "The restaurant/bar Just had a soft open last night [Saturday]. Not packed, but a good, rowdy crowd. Fun menu. I had a good time, even solo. But don't drive there. Cause it looked like the peoplez wuz drinkin'. Or already drunk. Anyway, good times. Check it out. Could be fun. Loved the ahi tempura fish and wasabi chips." [7038 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, 323.469.7038]

fun? amazing? over used words...
however... bottom line? i dream of Matthew Gladstones Mac and Cheese and now... i have fantasies of those damn fish tacos with chilian sea bass!!
ok.. drinks? not a great wine list... but... special drinks? indeed fun... who ever is doing drink presentations is working with the chef who is known for his fun food presentations!

my friends and i.. love this place.. have been for lunch a few times... for great food and quality meeting times.. and have been for the 'bar crowd'... which is upscale dive bar ish.

i cant wait to tell the world about this place... it really rocks!!

You have to valet in their empty parking lot. Don't go to this place. Very over priced.
