SECTION 02

The Team Behind It

The h.wood Group operates the restaurant with Hollingsworth as chef partner and Caruso as the Palisades Village partner. The concept trades the group's nightlife profile for a family-friendly neighborhood dining room with classic cocktails and an approachable American menu.

Opening updates and new menu additions are also posted through @alphabetpalisades on Instagram.

🤙 Curator’s Note

Alphabet's strongest idea is not the striped tables or the Palisades address. It is the promise of a dependable neighborhood grill with enough range for a family dinner, cocktails at the bar, or a last-minute lunch. Start with the rotisserie chicken, then let the seasonal sides do the rest.
