Joe Pytka has closed down his restaurant Bastide located in West Hollywood, once again. That is the direction it has been drifting since Chef Alain Giraud left in 2004 and its last closing not long ago. He may have another revival, although I think not. I feel sorry that this had to happen as Mr. Pytka really appreciates good food and excellent wines; he may now have to quaff his expensive Grand Cru wines in someone else’s restaurant, at least for the moment.
