Busy Valley Village restaurant Sloane’s is expanding, taking up residence just down the street from the Hollywood Bowl this summer. Owner Bobby Montes tells Eater that the new Sloane’s will sit inside of the Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn hotel on Highland Avenue, a popular stop for tourists traversing Hollywood and anyone walking home from a night of music at the Bowl.
To that end the restaurant will offer daily service from 7 a.m. to midnight, with plans to catch the AM crowd with breakfast burritos and coffee and to keep the latecomers with comfort food well into the night (beer and wine will help).

Highland sometime in early summer, in time for shows nearby.
