L.A. lost a few old-timers this month: Ernie Jr.'s Taco House shuttered after 41 years, and father/daughter duo Guy and Sylvie Gabrielle bid adieu to Café Pierre after serving the Manhattan Beach community for 37 years (although they're planning to re-open as a new restaurant, Love and Salt, with chef Michael Fiorelli)

In opening news, Roy Choi's newest operation, POT, is now underway at The Line Hotel, and EightyTwo, a bar-meets-arcade concept, landed in the Arts District. Read below for more recent restaurant openings and closings. ]
