JOHN TERZIAN, BRIAN TOLL, MARKUS MOLINARI AND ADAM KORAL OF THE H.WOOD.GROUP BRING UPSCALE NEW LOUNGE, THE NICE GUY, TO WEST HOLLYWOOD<\/p>\n

Hospitality experts John Terzian, Brian Toll, Markus Molinari and Adam Koral of The h.wood.group are thrilled to announce their newest endeavor, THE NICE GUY. The NICE GUY will be a swanky new lounge, complete with gourmet food and mixology menu, whose aesthetic is meant to evoke the decadent era of Mafia bars and restaurants, where the owners and their friends can enjoy an evening together.<\/p>\n

Yet another addition to the h.wood group\u2019s impressive roster (which boasts Hollywood hotspots Bootsy Bellows and Hooray Henry\u2019s, along with Santa Monica favorite SHOREbar), The NICE GUY will bring a fun and upscale lounge atmosphere that has been lacking in Los Angeles. Operated by h.wood\u2019s John Terzian and menus curated by Adam Koral. The NICE GUY will be one step above a restaurant but below a club. It will be a cozy reservations-only destination for friends and family to feel like they truly belong. John Terzian explains, \u201cThe real emphasis will be on the overall feeling of the place. Adam and I have really noticed that people like the feeling of being a part of something.\u201d He continues, \u201cWe believe our clients are sophisticated and expect the type of d\u00e9cor and service that we provide.\u201d Upon entry the vintage marble and brass bar greets you. Its size, scale, and shape invite the guests to a unique social experience, encouraging conversation and camaraderie \u2013 the booths along the exterior wall command intimacy between guests, while the larger booths flanking the room stimulate the party atmosphere throughout the night. \u201cBecause the place is intimate,\u201d Terzian says, \u201cit enables us to provide extra attention and care to our family of customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Master Mixologist Brian Stewart, of SHOREbar, will be preparing unique signature cocktails, and Terzian describes the food menu, prepared by Chef John-Carlos Kuramoto, as \u201cSimple with enough healthy and comfort food for everyone to choose from.\u201d Chef Kuramoto has been nurturing his love for fine cuisine since he was a child, and pursued his culinary education at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He has learned from renowned chefs all across the country, currently the chef for Michael\u2019s in Santa Monica, and now will bring his distinctive set of skills and well-seasoned tastes to The NICE GUY, making for a truly unforgettable dining The NICE GUY\u2019s Principals include: John Terzian, Brian Toll, Markus Molinari and Adam Koral of h.wood.group (Bootsy Bellows, Bootsy Bellows Aspen, Hooray Henry\u2019s, SHOREbar).<\/p>\n
