Kassi Club - A New Chic Eatery Bringing Greek Vibes To The West Coast

If you love Élephante then you'll swoon over Kassi Club! Kassi Club is a new upscale eatery that recently opened its doors in West Hollywood. As locals would say, it's a new neighborhood gem! The Kassi Club is the latest venture from seasoned restauranteur and designer Nick Mathers, and the newest addition to the Wish You Were Here Group restaurants such as: Goldie's, Élephante, Eveleigh, Ruby's and Little Ruby's to name a few.

Let's be honest, there are plenty items to LOVE about this menu! The crab fettuccine (herb butter, tarragon, spicy zoug) spanakopita (tzatziki, green chili sauce) and the cheese saganaki (topped with cherry honey) are great options! The Greek salad is far from basic (cucumbers, sung olds, green pepper, caper berries, feta and oregano)! The salt baked branzino is a must! It's a 2-lb fillet topped with mint, lemon, and chimchurri - seasoned to perfection. 

The drink menu (developed by Élephante bar director Julien Calella) boasts inventive cocktails that are shaken, stirred, as well as a few wine options. 

The menu serves up a plethora of Mediterranean island-flavored cuisines and cocktails in a chic Greece-inspired lounge! It comes as no surprise that Wish You Were Here Group has a knack for creating island life vibes into its chic establishments.

The neutral tones, high ceilings complete with sky light and an at-home-feel is reason enough to stay at the Kassi Club while sipping refreshing cocktails such as "The Kassi"(tequila, tsikoudia, lime, watermelon, pineapple, chili). If there is anything LA loves it's a good vibe and good food to follow. Kassi Club nails both of those aspects - with an aesthetic that's 100%.
