Langham, Huntington to debut new menu

The Dining Room at The Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa is pleased to announce Chef de Cuisine Michael Voltaggio’s new menu, which will debut on Friday, July 31. Chef Voltaggio’s menu will present familiar food in innovative ways, focusing on new American cuisine prepared using classic discipline and modern trends.

The Dining Room will be closed July 28 – 30 in preparation for the re-opening and new menu launch on July 31.

Chef Voltaggio joined The Dining Room on July 10, 2009 following a year as Executive Chef of The Bazaar by José Andrés at The SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. He is also a contestant on season six of Bravo’s EMMY and James Beard Award-winning series, Top Chef.

Chef Voltaggio’s new menu will utilize the bounty of seasonal produce that California offers while showcasing the best quality seafood, meats and artisan ingredients available both domestically and from around the globe. His philosophy is to primarily focus on ingredients and flavor profiles, complementing them with strong technique and precise execution. The Dining Room will feature Chef Voltaggio’s new menu through the remainder of 2009 and will undergo a renovation and repositioning in early 2010.

For the last two years in a row, The Dining Room at The Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa has been awarded a coveted one-star rating from the Michelin guide. The honor follows The Dining Room’s “Best Service” and extraordinary scores in the 2009 Zagat Los Angeles/Southern California Restaurants Guide along with numerous other accolades such as Gourmet magazine’s "60 World's Best Hotel Dining Rooms," a 3 Star Rating by The Los Angeles Times, "50 Best Hotel Restaurants" by Food & Wine and California Homes Magazine’s "#1 Hotel Restaurant."
