Information on L8 & LeLan |
 Lou Canellis checked out two new hot spots, L8 & LeLan!
The team behind nightclubs Sound-Bar and Y have teamed up with Phil Stefani's Signature Restaurants to open L8! Here you'll find gourmet pizzas prepared in one of the two centerpiece wood-burning ovens, mid-priced wood-roasted entrees, small plates and pasta dishes! L8 has a similar room-bumping sound system to its siblings, so still expect a high-energy dining experience!
And, for a casual fine-dining experience, check out LeLan, a French-Vietnamese restaurant from powerhouse chefs Roland Liccioni (Les Nomades) and Arun Sampanthavivat (Arun's). The menu combines the delicate, rich flavors of France with the spicy balance of flavors from Vietnam, with modern spins on classic dishes! Look for glazed rib eye, smoked squab, crispy-skinned duck and roast bass with lemongrass.
