Jonathan Gold reviews the Hearth & Hound
Charred chicories with citrus, pistachios and forage blanc. In addition to a lively bar, the Hearth & Hound offers a wine list pulled together by Beastie Boy Mike D.

(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times)April Bloom is the chef behind Hearth & Hound in Hollywood, in the old Cat & Fiddle space. Her aesthetic: simple yet full-flavored small plates. Though known for her meat dishes at places like New York’s Spotted Pig, she puts vegetables forward here and employs a lot of Middle Eastern flavors.
