The Andaz West Hollywood hotel has appointed a new executive chef with Justin Taylor, who brings a new menu to Riot House Restaurant.

During his first few weeks at Andaz West Hollywood, Taylor has channeled his creative energy, love of music, and personal cooking style of clean, bright flavors to craft a new dinner menu for Riot House Restaurant. Taking cues from the hotel’s musical roots, Taylor’s menu features whimsical dishes that also capture the seasonality of California cuisine.

Taylor is currently working on breakfast, lunch and brunch menus that will debut later this fall. In addition to Taylor’s new dishes, Riot House Restaurant has created brand-new cocktails featuring fresh flavor combinations that pay homage to the hotel’s storied history.
