They are reopening Friday apparently in the previously rejected valet area

Anyone seen the menu for Angler? I’m wondering if they’ve changed some things due to COVID

Awesome! Thank you
No Parker house rolls. No elk tartar. Otherwise looks like a very similar menu.
Okra, cauliflower, and artichokes are new, aren’t they?
Dug up the direct link to the menu if you want to look deeper.

Went last night.
So glad they re-opened.
Server told me Skenes is still in charge and they retained almost all of the kitchen and serving staff (though that seems really hard to believe).
Food was pretty fantastic.
Especially the Radicchio salad and a new dish - large pacific “Embered” Oysters with fantastic spicy sauce.
Radicchio with Radicchio
Embered Oyster - sorry its so blue (and more than 1/2 eaten), but this was terrific. I would love to have the sauce on pasta.
I don’t love okra but my wife does and she loved the new fried okra dish with a basil oil and creme fresh dip
Eating in the parking area is strange, to say the least, but they have prettied it up as well as they could.
When a Lamborghini (maybe @J_L’s ??? ) pulled out of the parking structure I felt like I was on the tarmac at LAX, or at an F1 event.
CRAZY LOUD.

Maybe they got a PPP loan. Spend 80% on employee paychecks and you don’t have to pay it back.
were you seated in the “patio” or “patio lounge”?
i’m guessing the valet circle is the lounge and the carpeted area next to it is the patio?
Awesome, I have a reservation in November for my birthday, can’t wait to go!

Dang it, I gotta bring the Aventador back the dude at Midas Muffler.
Nice report. But why do I feel a sudden urge to pull up “Purple Rain” on my Spotify listening list?

There was a pork element that we tasted in the sauce and wondered about, perhaps it was soondae???

We did the PL in the Valet Circle (though the circle is closed to cars) because there are a few more food options from the bar menu. Though i don’t think we took advantage of the option.
Cocktails were superb too. Basil Hayden Manhattan w for me and Dirty Martini for @LouisianaMouth

I thought that was you but couldn’t tell because of the mask and because I only met you once like 5 years ago haha.
Our server explained it as you get the additional happy hour cocktails and half pound seafood options in the lounge.
Guess I should’ve gotten the sundae and oysters but oh well.
I found the QPR quite good here. Not pictured: raddichio xo, half pound shrimp, bread/butter

They jacked up the music volume to encompass the larger space and cover up the car noises. Of course, since it’s a parking lot the sound just bounces off all the hard surfaces. Also, random Lambo going into valet 5 feet away from “patio lounge”.
tl;dr it’s loud
