STUDIO CITY: Maybe you don't spend enough time in Studio City or in gastropubs. The redo of the former Sapphire on Ventura in Studio City is nearly done. Meet Laurel Tavern. A mole reports: "Nice open space with windows that open to the street. Communal table in the center with bar stools." Bottoms up.
HOLLYWOOD: News from the W Hotel and Residences: There's a French brasserie planned for the new W Hotel and it'll be a 6,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor restaurant "will evoke the atmosphere of a brasserie in the South of France, blending vibrant colors, classic archways, and an open-air feel, inspired by the Cote de Azur." Will it be authentic and will it be a tourist trap?
