Page 26 <strong>Palisades</strong> <strong>News</strong> <strong>March</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2015</strong> DINING WITH GRACE Idiscovered the Glendon Bar & Kitchen restaurant a year or two ago for a quick dinner before I went to the Geffen Playhouse. The Glendon is handily just down the street from the Trader Joe’s parking lot where the Geffen gives ticketholders free parking. Before performances I always enjoyed sharing a salad and a crispy rustic pizza, or bourbon buffalo wings or sliders. However, this time my friend and I enjoyed a leisurely dinner and a chat with Chef and Managing Partner Nicholas Jacobs. It is always fascinating to see young chefs like Nick, almost 30, who was a working chef in New York before opening the Glendon about five years ago. After eating the excellent food, it is clear why the restaurant has been a success. The setting is attractive, with a large bar, tables throughout and banquette seating with tables along one wall. Two elegant chandeliers hang from the high ceilings, and the back wall features handsomely framed mirrors. Upstairs, there is a separate dining room for private parties and special occasions. With glasses of wine came crispy cheese bread sticks and a small dipping sauce. My friend and I shared a Hilgard salad composed of baby arugula, strawberries, candied pecans, gorgonzola and a fine balsamic Dijon vinaigrette. This was a delicious salad, especially with the strawberries and the superb vinaigrette. My friend had ‘The Marc” pasta, consisting of penne pasta with grilled chicken, parmesan and fresh basil Hike with Mike Councilman Mike Bonin invites constituents to join him on a hike in Temescal Canyon from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, <strong>March</strong> 28. Chat with the councilman about issues, and hear about the work he is doing for local neighborhoods. Meet at the north side of Sunset Boulevard at Temescal Canyon. Parking is $7 in the lot. Be sure to stop completely at Stop signs, so you don’t receive a ticket from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Please RSVP for the hike at 11thDis trict.com/Hike_ with_Mike_Mar28. 310.230.7377 hollydavis@coldwellbanker.com www.hollydavis.com BRE #00646387 THE GLENDON BAR & KITCHEN 1071 Glendon Ave., Westwood • (310) 208-2023 along with sun-dried and grape tomatoes, and toasted almonds, all accented with nutmeg, freshly cracked pepper and light cream. It was excellent, tasty and not overpowering but quite scrumptious. The fresh fish, a sesame crusted mahi-mahi with lemon, was superb. The accompanying sautéed spinach side I ordered was perfect with the fish. Prices are moderate: the mahi-mahi or fresh Alaskan salmon were $14.50, while the pastas ranged from $16.50 for The Marc to $17 for a truffle tequila farfalle pasta with grilled flank steak. Newport Farms Angus beef New York steak is $16.50, and a free-range chicken breast is $13.50. All salads come with a suggestion of various added proteins, such as chicken, grilled steak, seared ahi and salmon. The salads were $13 to $15.50, with the protein additions only $2 to $3.50 more. The Grand Marnier baked brownie with candied pecans and ice cream was served on a berry-painted plate. This succulent rich dessert was good to the last bite, even though my guest and I usually have only one bite each. Desserts, such as the banana-bourbon bread pudding, or the cobbler, or a warm cookie trio with bourboninfused whipped cream, are $8. The Petit Plates dinner menu (which I selected before theater at the Geffen) offers more than a dozen items in the $7 to $12.50 price range. There are sliders (a duo is $9.50 and a trio $12); chicken spring rolls ($7.50); fried asparagus ($11); baked mac’n cheese ($8.50); a Library Bookstore Open The Friends of Pacific <strong>Palisades</strong> Library’s bookstore continues to offer “new” books that are shelved almost daily. Many of these books are in mint condition, and most can be purchased for less than $2, perfect to take traveling. Unlike a library book, if you forget it in a hotel, there are no fines or replacement costs; rather it is the hotel maid’s gain. Store hours are Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the library’s converted back patio. Proceeds from sales are used to purchase new books for the <strong>Palisades</strong> and other branch libraries. If you would like to volunteer, visit: friendsofpalilibrary.org.
