The good news for Beverly Hills residents is that a West Coast outpost of Soho House will not be opening where Morton’s on Melrose used to be. The bad news? A restaurant owned by the proprietors of Soho House will be going there instead! After British millionaire Richard Caring bought out minority investors, he announced he would open outlets of the snobby club/hotel everywhere from Chicago to Shanghai, but tough-as-nails neighbors near the landmark restaurant’s former site complained about potential noise and parking issues. Caring has since relocated his plans to West Hollywood, but the arrival of Cecconi’s may not ease the pain so fast; first up on the restaurant’s event schedule is taking over Morton’s annual hosting of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, which we’re sure won’t attract the least bit of traffic.
