Hatfield's may be closing at the end of this year, but culinary power couple Quinn and Karen Hatfield are already working on their next project, Odys + Penelope. The restaurant is centered around live-fire cooking (an open grill, a wood-fired smoker and a churrasco grill are all featured), and will offer California fare in a modern, rustic space on La Brea (which, by the way, just might be LA's new Restaurant Row).
There were a lot of heart-wrenching closings this past year: Red Medicine, Fifty Seven, Hatfield's and, most recently, Rivera; the last two are set to serve their final meals on December 31. This is business as usual for restaurants, though, fine-dining or otherwise, and with it comes the knowledge that another, hopefully even better, restaurant will take its place. As we head into 2015, here are the restaurant openings we're most excited about.
