At RH, understated tranquility
and simplicity is the design,
defying its history,
and its previous life
as the “Riot House”
where legendary Rock stars
like Zeppelin, Keith Richards
and the like abound.

What wild ‘riot’-like days
they produced,
atypical stories of TV’s and guitars,
flying out the window,
Did anyone capture it on video?

ANdAZ kept the name
although today,
it’s a totally different game.
Rock stars may still abound,
but RH’s Chef,
Sebastien Archambault,
and his talented team,
are the only ones featured
in this one-of-a-kind
Market-to-table show.

RH’s open view gives
diners a first-hand look
at all the Rockin’ in the kitchen
as the Chefs pump out the freshest
Cuisine you’ve ever seen.

One taste of his exquisite
roasted forest mushroom tart with hazelnuts,
or homemade foie gras terrine,
and oh, the tantalizing tuna tartar,
there’ simply no denying
our culinary star is French to a tee,
minus the famed attitude that is,
although with this Michelin credentialed Chef
we would be forgiving
if he was even slightly rude.
But no, Sebastien wouldn’t think of it,
as his flawless waiters assist
and execute,
Serving you with pleasure
and a smile
you continue to embrace
as everyone around you
accept it too,
Maybe you truly are a VIP
No doubt,
through and through.

For wine connoisseurs,
You’ll be thrilled to know,
That glass and immaculate steel
Help protect RH’s endless rows
of California’s finest wines,
beverages and brews.
You name it, they have it
from Sunny Napa Valley and beyond.

Our party of beautiful friends
soon find themselves
in what can only be described
as pure culinary bliss.
How can the evening
not be a success?
With Michel Morauw
at the helm of ANdAZ,
Absolutely nothing is amiss.

The hotel prides itself
on relaxed simplicity,
yet in step
with the culture,
it’s rhythm, art and style,
Its classicality is sure to beguile.

Michel and Tess bring with them
their unique hospitality and warmth,
their seasoned savoire faire
is clearly evident.
As you explore, you’ll find,
it’s reflected everywhere.

The clock chimes midnight,
five hours from when
the party first began,
Fifteen newfound friends
truly found it bittersweet
to say good-bye,
to this newly reincarnated
ANdAZ hotel and RH restaurant.

We climbed to the dramatic rooftop terrace
Where a panaroma of Hollywood dreams caress
Its skyline of bright city lights,
stretched far and wide
and further magnified,
by a giant January moon,
And soon…
it was just to tough to resist
The music got us movin’
We all felt like groovin,
Oh what a sight!

The West Hollywood address may be the same
But beyond that, I promise you
You’ll be reminded by the old adage
“Nothing ever stays the same”
And, at this brand new hotel on Sunset
You’ll gladly say,
“This is undeniably true!”

What a memorable night to recall,
Great food,
Plus friendships, further enriched,
a gift for us all.

We had a fantastic time
Honestly, we’re spreading the word,
However sublime.
News of RH will quickly be heard,
As everyone throughout the land
discovers,
RH is categorically,
in a league of its own,
Less you wonder
Yes, we’re definite fans.

There’s no doubt about it,
Michel and Tess,
Sebastien, et al,
Thank you so much
We had an absolute ball!

Our very best to ANdAZ and RH— Thanks to you, 2009 finds Hollywood glowing brighter, and its dining options even HEALTHIER!

With sincere thanks to Michel and Tess Morauw and the superb staff of RH and the entire ANdAZ ‘family’…
