Couldn't find this mentioned anywhere, and though it's not WDW related, I figured the Eddie Sotto history gives it a pass.

Plenty of info and photos found on the link above.

blurb from article "The Los Angeles Times report a sad news: the fantastic Encounter restaurant at Los Angeles airport which was re-designed by WDI Imagineer Eddie Sotto closed last December. The Encounter restaurant was located at LAX airport but outside the terminal and apparently the security measures that passengers now have to go through when boarding a flight didn't helped as they were reluctant to exit the terminal and have to go through all over again the security checks. "

This is disappointing to hear.
I thought this was a great attraction in it*s own right.

LOVED the look of the place...outside and in.
Such a shame.

Too bad there could not have been come kind of additional walkway that connected the post-security cleared passenger terminals to the restaurant building.

A sad loss....but maybe it is not the end..?
