Even though I ride near here all the time I didn’t even know “Old Calabasas” existed.
This new place as of itself:
The Mulholland, we’re all about taking a thoughtful approach to New American cuisine in an environment created for memorable experiences around every plate and glass. Our creative menu crafted by Culinary Director Chef Chris Flint (Eleven Madison Park, NoMad) and Chef de Cuisine Michele Carter (Barbara Lynch Collective) infuses energy into crave-worthy dishes that are artfully crafted with seasonal, local and organic ingredients. With a beverage program to match this ethos, our cocktails are playful spins on the classics and our vibrant wine list is largely organic and off the beaten path.
Cute patio for our wine dinner tonight.
The menu.
Tuna Crudo, Tomato, Avocado. Bright and delicious.
Sea Bass, Beans, Squash, Lemon Verbena Nage. Subtle but lovely.
Corn Tortellini, Truffle, Chanterelle, Parmesan, Housemade Focaccia, Pizza Butter. Delicious. Wish there were more.
Petaluma Chicken. Roast Breast, Confit Leg, Mushroom, Potato Puree. Great chicken.
Bread and butter.
Roasted Hen of the Wood Mushrooms, Brown Butter Sabayon.
Filet Mignon, Chickpea Frites, Onion, Beef Jus Aioli.
Brillat-Savarin and Harry’s Berries.
Passionfruit sorbetto. Not mine — they didn’t allow mine — but actually pretty nice.
The wines.
The place was very good. I was surprised given the location. It was good enough that I brought my wife back for “date night” a couple days later.
