Shaken Not Stirred

Dallas-based Hudson House opens its L.A. flagship near the busy intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Doheny Drive. Influenced by the Hudson Valley, the menu is a nod to classic American fare with an East Coast slant. A raw bar features freshly shucked oysters and sushi rolls (pro tip: try the Pressed Rainbow Roll). Other standouts include hearty sandwiches, generously portioned salads that can serve as entrées, and signature dishes including the steak frites served alongside irresistible Parmesan fries. The cocktail menu reflects what Hudson House is known for—the World’s Coldest Martini. Try the Bleu & Gold with house-made blue cheese–stuffed olives in a glass with a blue cheese–salt rim. Enjoy your drink at the large wraparound bar or one of the many cozy leather booths in a dining room. 9225 W. Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, hudsonhousehp.com
