Newsletter: Volume 34 - December 2011
This holiday season we're celebrating the opening of our newest restaurant and pizzeria, Milo & Olive. It's been an action packed month as Evan, Zoe and the team have been exploring the wood burning oven and turning out an array of delicious pizzas in the process. It's been so much fun to see so many of you from the neighborhood already, and for those of you who haven't been yet, here are some highlights.
Milo & Olive is open 7 days a week (7 am to 11 pm) for a European style breakfast, lunch and dinner. Throughout the day it's a bread lovers paradise, with multiple varieties of Zoe's breads baked fresh every morning. Some of our favorites include the Whole Wheat Potato Bread which is great toasted with butter and jam or for a sandwich, Cheesebread made with 3 different kinds of cheeses, Green Olive Bread with Lemon and Thyme, plus fresh baked bagels in Plain, Poppy and Sesame. On top of that, the daily pastry selection at Milo & Olive is full of inspired creations utilizing different varieties of flours and grains. The Lunch/Dinner menu is served from 11-11 daily, with standout dishes like Branzino Ceviche, Roasted Pumpkin with Buckwheat Honey, Brown Butter and Sage as well as great pizzas like Roasted Potato Pizza with Rosemary Cream and House Made Pork Belly Sausage Pizza and Braised Greens. Take out is always available, as is our recently introduced curbside service. Just call in your order, give us your credit card over the phone, and we'll quote you a time. Pull your car in front and we'll run it out to you. We're trying to make your lives as easy and delicious as possible. Click here to see our menus for Breakfast and Lunch/Dinner.
A couple of years ago we decided that we weren't happy with the traditional restaurant New Year's Eve dinner. As a result, in recent years we've started our own New Years tradition, a family style feast. Here's how it works. Each table gets a menu with 15 choices, including desserts, all of which are meant to be shared by the group. You choose 8 selections, and they come out in waves family style and portioned for the group. This year look for Warm Lobster Salad, Confit Pork Belly with Cripy Collard Greens and Anson Mills Grits, Fried Cauliflower with Capers and Herbs, a Coconut Caramel Layer Cake and much more. At midnight we'll bring in the New Year with a sparkling toast. The price per person is $85 and to make reservations call us at 310.393.7050.
We love the Holidays at Huckleberry. Big meals of comfort food shared with close friends is at the core of what we're about. This year's holiday menu is full of hearty dishes that can be taken home and shared with your loved ones. Order items like Braised Free Range Chicken & Figs, or a Butternut Squash, Spinach & Gruyere Bread Pudding, Potato Pancakes, Sausage. Onion & Potato Quiche and other savory treats. For desserts, Ginger Cake with Cranberry Compote sings of the holidays, and try to keep people away from the oven as the smell of your Take & Bake Apple Cinnamon Pie fills your home on Christmas morning. To see the complete menu click here. All orders must be placed 48 hours in advance.
Many of you learned the joys of Holiday Ice Cream pies this past month when you ordered pies for Thanksgiving. Lots of you ordered pints or quarts of your favorite flavors to go with your other desserts. Well Shiho and the gang are back at it, with two remarkable frozen creations, the Buche De Noel & Pistachio Cranberry Ice Cream Pie. And you'll be the hit of the party when you show up with a frozen yulelog of Chocolate Cake, Verve Coffee Ice Cream with Candied Walnuts and Decorative Mushrooms made of Meringue. Or the seasonal pie with Cranberry Pistachio Ice Cream, Whipped Milk and topped with Crumbled Santa Barbara Pistachios. And don't forget seasonal flavors such as Egg Nog and the fabulous Yuzu Sorbet. Please place your orders 48 hours in advance. Also, sign up for our twitter page, to be notified of our special one day ice cream sale, that takes place just before our annual closing for a week. More details to follow.
For more information on our holiday hours please visit our websites as the hours vary between restaurants. As usual, Rustic Canyon, Huckleberry and Sweet Rose will all be closed the first Monday through Sunday of January (2nd-8th) for our annual staff holiday. For this year only, because we're only just getting started, Milo & Olive will be open that week, so come visit us during this wonderful time. We wish you all Happy Holidays and look forward to seeing you soon.
