The
Old Place Restaurant Agoura Hills
|
|
|
The
Old Place restaurant was established in 1970 by Tom Runyon
and his wife. For nearly forty years this dedicated couple
served up steamed Clams and steaks to locals, passing
travelers and the occasional celebrity.
Since Tom's passing July 2009, The Old Place is has been
operating with the help of Tim Skogstrom who runs the
Cornell
Winery next door. This small roadside dinner which
looks more like a western saloon than restaurant and is
defiantly a one of a kind dining experience.
Under the creative management of Cornell Winery The Old
Place has added new menu items, longer hours and even
serves breakfast on the weekends. Everything is still
cooked over red oak in the kitchen open pit grill and
the food is just as good as ever.
With the expanded menu and better service the Old Place
has taken on a new life. Visitors to the Cornell Winery
next door can buy a bottle of wine and then head over
to the Old Place and enjoy it with dinner. There is small
corkage charge for this service.
The Old Place restaurant is compact and only has 5 booths
and bar seating. You will need to call in advance if you
want a booth. The Old Place seats about 40 people but
does take reservations for 4 or more people.
Out on the porch you can watch the motorcycles zoom by
on Mulholland. The Old Place is
a perfect starting point for a weekend day trip to the
Santa Monica Mountains.
Start you day off with some Blue Corn Meal Flap Jacks
or Thick Cut Sourdough French Toast and then head out
and explore the area.
