The songs of Burt Bacharach?!?! Open till 2 a.m. for live piano covers
of Radiohead and Oasis on a revolving 1924 Mason & Hamlin grand, yet
also open for brunches with Burt tunes, Ivan Kane's Café Wa s is
bohemian bistro, piano bar and date place all rolled into one. It's a
strange, strange combination this club (from the creator of Forty
Deuce and Deep) in the heart of Hollywood that offers everything from
a partnership with The Greek Theatre and Gibson Amphitheatre to French
fare done by chef Alex Reznik, who makes such dishes as crispy duck
confit, coquille St Jacques and absinthe sorbet. Red velvet booths,
black lace and velvet curtains, fringed table lamps, iron railings,
and a mezzanine bar; this spot is so neo-opulent, one could stage a
re-enactment of Lincoln's last night here. And yet it all works. At
least for the likes of Kirsten Dunst, Dennis Hopper and Shia LaBeouf,
all of whom have popped in. Promotions such as the Café Wa s Stimulus
Plan (aka bottomless carafes of white and red table wine at $15 per
person with your entree) don't hurt.
