The only caveat for participating in happy hour is only sitting at either the bar or outdoor patio. Hippo Hour is a draw, offering $10 burgers with $4 fries, ahi tuna tostada ($8), raviolo ($4) and reasonably priced adult beverages. The bar and outdoor area were crowded due to the fact that Hippo Hour offers great food at amazing prices. If you love butter and seriously, who doesn’t, the Winter Squash Cappellacci with browned butter, sage and amaretti was so good I wanted to drink down the sauce and request an additional side of crispy sage ($19). The perfectly seasoned Maccheroni with Salt Spring Black Mussels and Bread Crumbs was beyond wonderful ($18). The Burrata di Bufala was huge and the best ever, accompanied by tantalizingly crisp garlic bread and fresh basil, enticingly resting in divine extra virgin olive oil ($17). We passed on the mains although I was tempted by the porcini-rubbed sirloin steak…alas, no one to share it with…not sure I have seen a steak on any menu other than the Sizzler for only $26! Burrata di Bufala Next up, the thickly sliced delicate and delicious Royal Hamachi Crudo with kumquat Prosecco relish ($16). We kicked things off with an amazing Yellowtail Tartare Tostada which was perfectly seasoned with scallion, cilantro and the always inviting ponzu sauce ($10). The focaccia, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, is baked next door at Triple Beam. HIPPO HIGHLAND PARK FREEWe ordered a well priced bottle of delicious fruit forward Barbera Brezza which complimented the meal ($45).Ĭrystal brought over baskets of complimentary homemade pizza bread….haven’t experienced free bread since Bush was president. Our server, Crystal, was delightful and steered us in the right direction. HiPPO, houses a huge open kitchen where the capable, dedicated staff are working away and on display. The flower power artwork on the walls is reminiscent of Keith Haring. The decor in the 80-seat dining establishment is sleek in feel with cement floors, interesting pendant light fixtures, beamed and high ceiling. HiPPO, was straight back and the minute you entered the industrial infused interior you feel welcome. Triple Beam PizzaĪs we entered the painted mini mall there was a coffee bar located on the right and Triple Beam Pizza on the left. We were able to park in front with no fancy valet anywhere in sight…how refreshing. People, whose culinary preferences I respect, have raved about the restaurant. We arrived at HiPPO, located inside the former Highland Park Post Office (thus HiPPO). HiPPO,Īs usual, we drove through heavy traffic all the way to Highland Park which should require a passport since the distance from Malibu along with the ambiance is like being in another country.
