Michele StuevenNightlife impresario Sam Nazarian, founder and CEO of the global hospitality group sbe, and his Disruptive Restaurant Group have resurrected Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails, ground zero for the modern Hollywood nightlife scene that helped launch the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian era. The iconic paparazzi magnet that was once the landmark Coconut Teaszer on Sunset Blvd. will re-open on Friday, September 17.
Just as the ladies have matured, the famed venue will open with a refreshed interior design and a new elevated dinner menu of classic Italian dishes like signature steaks cooked on the woodfire grill, chicken parmesan to share and a variety of starters and pastas including a spicy lobster spaghetti. And the beat goes on.
