That’s pretty exciting if he’s using the Septime and Clamato as a metaphor for what he wants to do! Id love to see something like that in LA

never understand why they waste making these articles instead of doing them right before it opens

Los Angeles is rife with thoughtful high-end restaurants that remove some of the stuffier signatures of fine dining, so Jernmark now asks himself how his forays will fit into the scene: The menus are still in development, but he is considering family-style courses shared around the table.

I will be excited to try, but as I read about it, and think about the past, I am a little dumbfounded that investors think they can pull something off in this space, when so many others have failed there.

The old Samuel Johnson line about a man who remarried soon after the death of a wife to whom he had been unhappily married: " The triumph of hope over experience."

That said, I miss Sotto/Pica…

I don’t think bicyclette closed due to the location. They were always busy, they also closed a few other restaurants at the same time seems to me they were just over extended

As far as I remember Picca closed as a result of mismanagement. Maybe someone will correct me if I’m wrong

I know nothing about this place, but sometimes the business that first opens a restaurant goes bankrupt because of debts from the build-out, which are not a problem for the next tenant.

Those places didn’t exactly fail, but I’m also not gonna disclose why they closed.

Yeah excited about this one! I hope the “Nordic backbone and DNA” is strong!
