EDG Reimagines Onyx Restaurant at Four Seasons Westlake Village

A modern and Californian interpretation of traditional Japanese style and cuisine, Onyx is a fusion of centuries old Japanese culinary heritage with the youth and freshness of California.

The restaurant strikes a beautiful balance of simplicity, nature and unexpected pops of fun. The design exudes harmony and poetry, with ultra-refined details and simple uncomplicated forms.The textural yet refined palette features natural elements and traditional materials used in a fresh context.

The design responds to Japan's unending quest for harmony with nature and the desire to unite the divine forces of the universe: sea, forest, mountain and sky are all referenced in subtle, simple ways. As with the menu, the materials are raw and unadulterated; a celebration of the natural world at its most refined. A melding of modernism and indigenous aesthetics.

The dining experience as a theatrical event, a journey that is both exotic and familiar -- with a local twist.
