Hostess with the mostess! Lady Byrd Café owner Misty Mansouri is gearing up for the holiday season, and to celebrate, she sat down with ET to share her festive holiday party essentials.
For starters, Mansouri believes serving easy, yummy dishes is the way to go, and she’s following that approach at her own Los Angeles, California based restaurant.
“Visitors can expect refined comfort foods with beautiful and fresh ingredients that work together to create simple, yet delectable and delicious dishes,” she shares.
Some menu must-haves: “Our short rib served over mashed potatoes, steak frites, seafood risotto, heartwarming soups, and chicken Milanese are seasonal favorites.”
When it comes to the decor, Mansouri embraces “the more, the merrier” mindset.
“We are loaded with elaborate Christmas trees, fluorescent lights, traditional color palettes, and velvet bows complete with fireplaces and cozy and comfy blankets,” she explains.
If you can’t make it into the eatery, Mansouri says you can still get into the spirit at home.
“Go upscale with your dress code and outfit. It’s a perfect time for furs, beautiful wool, and cashmere,” she explains.
And to steer clear of any hosting mistakes, Mansouri recommends prioritizing partygoers’ needs.
“It’s going to be a cold winter, so make sure you have plenty of ways to keep your guests warm. You should also offer alternatives for alcohol beverages like fun mocktails,” she suggests.
Visit Lady Byrd Café for breakfast, lunch, aperitivo and dinner at 2100 Echo Park Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90026.
