There are new spots that open doors in Hollywood everyday, but not all catch our attention. Here’s your introduction to Cafe Wa s and no it’s not a spelling error, that’s the way the name is spelled.
The genius behind the nightclub is impresario Ivan Kane who brought burlesque dancing back on the map with his Fort Deuce nightclubs. His newest venture is scheduled to open in May 2008, but here is the scoop on what to expect.
Part restaurant and part piano bar, the bohemian atmosphere boasts hidden lounges. The focal point of the space revolved around a grand piano, which will feature resident musicians as well as surprise guests for unexpected marquee performances.
The Café Wa s menu, created by chef and restaurateur Tim Goodell will feature bistro-inspired dishes, such as Steak or moules frites; Onion soup au gratin and the signature IK burger topped with prosciutto, brie and a fried egg. Decadent desserts will include tart au citron; crème caramel and chocolate soufflé.
It doesn’t end there, Café Wa s' imported and domestic caviar selection will be served simply with crème fraiche and buttered toast points.
The bar will feature classic cocktails and an extensive wine and champagne menu served by-the-glass, bottle or carafe and selected spirits by the flask.
The new joint will be located at 1521 North Vine Street in Hollywood. It will be open for dinner seven nights a week from 6pm until 2am and for brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm. Now all we need is for this spot to open its doors.
