BLVD 16 at Westwood’s Hotel Palomar is offering three different meal deals. From October 25-30, Chef Simon Dolinky debuts his fall menu and pays tribute to restaurant industry employees with “Industry Week.” Anyone who works in the food & beverage just has to show proof of that fact to receive a 50% discount. He’ll also offer a three-course tasting menu consisting of dishes that are “Light and Raw,” “Comforting” and “Indulgent. Think Kona kampachi with Asian pear, ginger, ponzu, walnut oil and cilantro; Smoked Pork Belly with Green Apple Sofrito, and Cava Poached Oysters; and Dark Chocolate Soufflé with Saffron and Vanilla Ice Cream. Guests can select a dish from each category.

Earlier this month, BLVD 16 introduced “Friday Night Bites and Flights.” On the first Friday of each month from 5 PM – 7 PM, Chef Dolinky is featuring a different seasonal ingredient, spirit and wine. On October 2, he showcased Champagne, sparkling wine flights and food pairings. On November 6, expect an oyster tasting menu, where Chef Dolinky will educate guests on the different varieties of oysters, cultivation and methods of preparation. On December 4, it’s all about Scotch. Each event costs $25-30 and includes the featured libations and passed appetizers.

Finally, on Tuesday, November 3, BLVD 16 is hosting a four-course dinner in honor of The Mad Hatter, a 2006 Shiraz from South Australia-based Hewitson Wine. Proprietor Dean Hewitson will be on hand to pair his wines with Chef Dolinky’s food. Tickets are $75 per person. RSVP to madhattertourLA@gmail.com. Here’s the menu:
