B.L.D. Poaching Hatfield’s Customers?

By la.foodblogging   Jan 20, 2008

A few months ago, B.L.D. was having poaching problems of a different kind. The Finicky Lawyer recounts his experience of arriving late for his reservation at Hatfield’s, only to wander into B.L.D. next door. Seems like an honest mistake, we were a bit turned around ourselves when we went to Hatfield’s. Both spots could use [...] FULL REVIEW

Deceptive Intent

By The Finicky Lawyer   Jan 12, 2008

This is the first time where I have been angry after having eaten decent food. I have been wanting to try Hatfield's, ever since the Chefs Quinn and Karen Hatfield left Cortez in San Francisco at the end of 2005 to open their own place. As soon as I found out that I would be traveling to Los Angeles, I called Hatfield's to secure a reservation. This was about a month ago, and we confirmed our reservation a few days before our travel date. That day, however, the flight to Los Angeles was delayed, so I called Hatfield's from... FULL REVIEW

Mini Foodventure #33: BLD - Better Late than D'oh!

By LA & OC Foodie   Apr 18, 2007

Much like my Mozza experience, my BLD came very much belated, way after every other foodblogger had their take. So I'll follow the advice of fellow foodblogger Erin and keep my opinions quick and brief. (But what is up with their Web site? "Coming soon" came and went, eh, half a year ago.) BLD, opened by the folks from nearby Grace restaurant as a more casual dining option, sits on Beverly Blvd. (just east of the Grove) alongside notable eateries and hangouts such as MILK, Hatfield's, El Coyote and Susina Bakery. The environs was light and airy, conducive to an informal meetup with friends or a nice family meal, not so much for business... FULL REVIEW

breakfast, lunch, DINNER in LA

I've known KT way before she was the sophisticated, Blackberry carrying public relations guru she is today. And I can't believe how grown up she's become. FULL REVIEW

BLD Restaurant: Better Luck Next Time

By Colleen Cuisine   Nov 11, 2006

When Grace first opened several years ago, I was a bit of a junkie. Something about their beef tartare with truffled grilled cheese sandwiches, braised pork shank, and gourmet doughnuts just really hit me right. It felt professional but unassuming, upscale but comfortable - gourmet food without the fuss or the attitude, served in portions big enough to fill you up. FULL REVIEW

Is BLD a BFD?

By Ritz Bites   Aug 28, 2006

The story of this space has already been told. A succession of restaurants with the right stuff gives it a go in a lovely corner spot in what seems to be a fitting neighborhood. Great things have been done here (i.e. Roxana's desserts). Still the revolving door awaits every one of these efforts. What gives? FULL REVIEW

BLD

By Eating LA   Jul 20, 2006

Once upon a time, there was Grace, a lovely, expensive restaurant on Beverly where celebritities nibble on short ribs and foie gras amid soothing tones of brown and wood. And once upon a time, there was a choice corner restaurant location, first home to Red, which was a kind of trendy diner for a few years, then to Opaline, which was an interesting pale green restaurant for a little while, and then to Cafe Capo, which was Italian, I guess, for a very little while. Now the owners of Grace, including Iron Chef winner Neal Fraser, have opened the more casual BLD, as in breakfast, lunch and dinner. FULL REVIEW
