  • Fraiche to Close

    Public School 612 will replace Fraiche Restaurant in downtown Culver City. Fraiche which was once named “one of the 10 best new restaurants in the United States,” has suffered in recent years with the loss of Chef Jason Travi and Thierry Perez, both partners in the restaurant and the ill-timed expansion into Santa Monica when the owners opened a second location. Public School is a modern craft beer pub and restaurant and is operated by Grill Concepts LLC which owns the Daily Grill. It currently...
