Inside Scoop

“This isn’t fine dining in the traditional sense – the room feels bustling, like you’re in just the spot everyone wants to be, and casual in the best way…It takes an extreme level of dedication to create an experience this flawless. You won’t just taste it; you’ll also see it, feel it and breathe it in.” – LA Weekly “Hinoki & the Bird serves as a sort of culinary snapshot of Los Angeles itself, a city where immigrants from Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East coexist with locavores, expense-account epicures and health-nut hippies.” – T, The New York Times Style Magazine

Venue Features

The scene:: Located on the ground floor of the century, a new luxury condo highrise in Beverly Hills, the restaurant is designed by architect Milo Garcia and features a spacious and open dining environment that’s welcoming and vibrant, while at the same time lavish and laid-back. Upon entering Hinoki & The Bird guests encounter charred cedar wood, melding into a massive door that peeks into the activity within through interwoven glass and timber. A perched foyer funnels toward a ‘stacked’ stairwell of solid walnut. The spacious dining area is lined with original oak walls, reclaimed from an old barn. In fact there’s an abundance of wood here, as the entire ceiling is playfully composed of contorted cedar planes, giving the dining area a romantic edge. When proceeding guests encounter an understated contemporary bar, lit by curved brass lamps dangling from the ceiling, and an elongated communal table with seats made up of flea market chairs reimagined. This section of the restaurant is surrounded by curved brass panels and rows of cabinets that slide open, framed by gleaming overlapping aluminum reminiscent of a midcentury diner. Facing the bar is an open kitchen, silhouetted in acid-etched glass, and stacked antique kitchenware atop brass shelving.
Design:: The adjacent aged steel and glass wall marks the portal to the expansive outdoor patio, which actually constitutes more than half of the entire restaurant. Adding up to Hinoki & The Bird’s eclectic aesthetics is seating grouped from 1930s-inspired bus benches, alongside denim patchwork sofas, all enclosed within a lush wall of vines. The patio feature a retractable roof and radiant heated floors, that makes this garden like room usable all year around.
Standout venue features:: We have a private driveway with a valet circle to allow for our guest to have a premium drop off service.
