Co-owners Brandon Boudet and Warner Ebbink unveiled the newly redesigned space at 686 Linden Ave #2040 — which housed South Coast mainstay Sly’s from 2008 to 2018 — during a soft opening for friends and family over the weekend. Mr. Boudet and Mr. Ebbink boast a star-studded pedigree. Paparazzi have caught several celebrities, including Ryan Gosling, Jon Hamm and Kristen Bell at the Los Feliz Little Dom’s, and Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy gave the restaurant a shoutout during a 2019 Vogue interview. “What’s your go-to breakfast?” the interviewer asked. “Blueberry ricotta pancakes...from Little Dom’s around the corner,” Mr. Levy answered. Local restaurateurs and neighbors welcomed the new restaurant on social media. A few posted photos of diners enjoying a Saturday evening meal seated at tables outside the building. Mr. Ebbink invited The Food Liaison owner Nirasha Rodgriguez to the soft opening. She published a rave review on her restaurant’s Instagram account. “Oysters, cocktails, chicken parm fit for a king.
