SOUTH PASADENA—There was a mention in yesterday's LA Times that Steven Arroyo's new French wine bar/bistro, 750 ml, will open this weekend. We just went by the space and noticed paint cans on the sidewalks, workers washing down tables, and some installation still going on. The head worker bee told us it will open "hopefully next week."

MALIBU—Providence isn't the only restaurant offering a deal for diners who sit in the worst seat in the house. At Gladstone's, if you request "the worst table in the house" you'll get 30% of your meal. If you're seated there because no other tables are available, you get a complimentary piece of cake.
