Rock & Reilly's Crew Taking Over Mirabelle on W. Sunset

After four decades on W. Sunset Boulevard, Mirabelle restaurant closed its doors last year for an overdue revamp. Owners George and Lenore Gemanides hired interior designer Thomas Schoos (Lexington Social House, Koi) to rework the dated eatery's interior and brought on Palihouse chef Michael Bryant to craft a sea-specific small plate menu. Sometimes less is more, and sometimes more is less and the latter is just the case here. Mirabelle's reboot didn't pan out as expected and now the guys behind consistently slammed Rock & Reilly's down the block are taking over. No news on any concept specifics but more to come. The acquisition of Mirabelle marks The L.O.R.E. Group's third Sunset Boulevard project after the still under construction Pearl's. [ELA]
