PACIFIC PALISADES— Grub Street wonders whether Alain Giraud's Maison Giraud will open on Bastille day, as suggested by the Pacific Palisades Patch. The restaurant is equipped to accommodate 44 diners inside and 20 on a covered patio, much smaller than Anisette days. [GS, PPP]

DOWNTOWN— Starting tomorrow night and lasting for about a week or so, Water Grill is serving wild blue fin tuna caught off Catalina Island. We're told that "...although Bluefin Tuna are not strangers to this area, tunas this large (110 pounds) surprised the local sardine fisherman...A catch like this is very unusual and special because large Bluefin Tunas are often netted by huge vessels in the North Pacific...Tuna of this quality is typically sent directly to Japan and sold for tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars because of its sweet, sushi grade, deep maroon meat."
