Grayson St.) this fall.<\/p>\n<p>The new restaurant, named after the historic bungalow\u2019s original owner, August Filleman, is a departure from the Mexican fare Galicia is most known for. According to a release, the menu will feature brasserie classics like prime rib, steak au poivre, a dry-aged burger paired with a martini at the bar, and oysters in the garden. Galicia says the fare was inspired by years of travel and his own cookbook collection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Filleman House is the restaurant I&#8217;ve always craved to create,&#8221; Galicia said in a release. &#8220;After years of telling the stories of Mexico through Mixtli, I wanted to build something that reflects another part of who I am, not just as a chef, but as a diner.
