Soho House Nabs Cecconi's Chef Matt Armistead

Soho House soft opened yesterday for private parties, though the members-only club goes whole hog next Monday. As previously reported, the venue claims the top two floors of Luckman Plaza on Sunset Blvd, here now a few more details. Chef Matt Armistead plus staff has recently relocated from Cecconi's to head up the Soho House kitchen and prepare a California-inspired menu with French influences. As for the interior, here's how the space breaks down. The top penthouse level houses the restaurant and club lounge which includes a pond (the whole pool thing didn't work out) and soaring palm trees (how did those get up there!?). One floor below exists the sitting room plus private rooms for high rollers.
