The Barish (CLOSED)

 Located in the lobby of the Hollywood Roosevelt, one of the city's best known historic hotels, The Barish is award-winning local chef Nancy Silverton's Italian-influenced version of an old school steakhouse. Named after Silverton's 19th century Canadian family farm, the Barish features a menu with steakhouse classics and new takes on the chef's trademark bread and pasta dishes—including an unforgettable rigatoni filled with squash and goat cheese. With a 110-seat Spanish Colonial Revival dining room with modern furnishings and wood-fire hearth, this glamorous addition to Silverton's restaurant portfolio is worth a visit all on its own.
