Openings: Apple Restaurant & Lounge, Los Angeles

Apparently not named after Chris and Gwynnie’s offspring, Apple takes on the overamped West Hollywood scene with a curious mix of haute eats and flash nightlife. Chef Bryan Ogden has flown his Michelin star over from La’ Vega’, and the sleek but restrained interior of this buzzed-about new restaurant keeps the focus on his avant-contemporary American creations. Geographically ambitious, selections range all the way from pan-roasted Florida frog legs to Northern Cali porcini tartlet. The already mega-fabulous lounge, helmed by NYC nightlife moppet Allison Melnick, will feature its own daily selection of tartlets, as evidenced by the opening bash’s impressive party-girl roll call: Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson (who DJ’d), and Nicky Hilton, who designed the restaurant's uniforms (what can't she do???). Regular live entertainment will include Pussycat Doll Robin Antin’s cabaret act. Apple saucy!
