Alinea's Dave Beran Is Opening A Chef's Counter At The Third Street Promenade

Fans of Chicago's famed Alinea restaurant, take note: Grant Achatz-protege (as well as a James Beard award-winner, and former executive chef at Next) Dave Beran is opening his first project in Los Angeles.
The project, an 18-seat test kitchen opening at Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade, is called Dialogue. According to the Los Angeles Times, the space will be an 800-square-foot chef's counter-style restaurant at the newly redesigned Gallery food hall that's adjacent to the Criterion Theater between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue.
“I want to be able to interact with the guests and see how they react to the food,” Beran told the Times. “This is our opportunity to take them outside of their comfort zone and challenge them, but also bring them in and make them a part of it.”
Tickets for the two-and-a-half hour, 23-course experience run $185 per person before tax or any alcohol. Look for tickets to come online via Resy sometime in July for (fingers crossed) an August opening.

And if you're scratching your head as to why such an acclaimed chef is opening at the Third Street Promenade within a food hall that includes Everytable and Sloane's Ice Cream as tenants (no disrespect, we're just saying it all seems mismatched) just remember that Dominique Ansel is bringing his famed bakery to The Grove later this year. So, it seems that foot traffic is the chief consideration here.
Dialogue will be located at 1315 Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
