Paley

Los Angeles

Return to mid-century glamour.

Paley looks like an old Hollywood set, and no wonder: The restaurant is housed in the landmark space where William S. Paley, chief executive of CBS, commissioned the building of Columbia Square in the 1930s. CBS Radio broadcast live shows with guests like Al Jolson, Bob Hope and Cecil B. DeMille; in the ’50s, TV joined the game. CBS left the building in 2007, but today, studio heads, agents and stars dine in the glamorous, reimagined space, which opened in 2016. LA cares about looks, and Paley delivers with a curvilinear bar, gorgeous light fixtures and leather banquettes. But there’s substance here too: expert crudo and hamachi rolls; complex salads bursting with flavor; and an array of mains, from buttermilk fried chicken to green curry pappardelle to seared salmon with piquillo peppers.
