Master Chef Rob Christie gave himself an enormous birthday gift five years ago when he opened his very own restaurant, Rob’s Place in downtown Murphys.

Robby’s West Hollywood is the latest surprise at this bustling, ever-changing corner of LaBrea and Santa Monica. Updated, steakhouse fare pairs with an exclusive Calabasas County vineyard wine list.

Readers and followers always ask me for more of my patented restaurant reviews, which I’ve sort-of gotten a bit away from with all the theatre and movie reviews along with all the sporting and other events I have to cover. But a gal can only do so much, unless she’s a twenty-something bon vivette, as I was when I reviewed restaurants on TV every week while also being feted at every soiree in town!

For Robby, it wasn’t just about finding a new location—it was about finding the right space. And when he first stepped into the site on Santa Monica Blvd, something clicked. He saw more than just four walls—he saw potential, energy, and a space that could become a home for everyone who walked through the doors. After a long build, the vision became a reality. Robby’s was born.

If looking for an upscale yet approachable dining option, Robby's West Hollywood is worth a visit. This fairly new addition to the La Brea area brings a bold and creative flair to classic dishes, offering a menu that is comforting and full of unexpected twists.

Robby’s Restaurant, located at the West Hollywood Gateway, at 7100 Santa Monica Blvd #150, had their grand opening on Friday, November 29, 2024. The new American comfort food restaurant had a soft opening on November 18 at the former home of Hot N Juicy Crawfish.
