Beautiful attention to detail. Back patio room seating is nice and the ardor single seaters is a treat. Don't miss the friend Thai snapper for two - incredible. English peas and fried artichokes.
Come here for a delightful platter of charcuterie, cheeses and bruschetta (the duck confit one is great). Getting the platter, other small dishes and the strawberry tart will guarantee a good meal.
We got the oxtail dumplings, green beans and the fried snapper. Would definitely come back, the service was amazing and the owner even came by to make sure we loved everything.
"The bone marrow—served with a red onion marmalade and grilled sourdough—is richer than butter. Paired with a glass of Zinfandel, it's perfection!"- Makani Gerardi Leia mais
Everything was terrific. Highlights: beets, gnocchi, bone marrow and strawberry crostado was ridiculously good. Cute bill in a "the damage" envelope, too.
Decided to come here on a whim and had an amazing meal. Enjoyed the English peas, lamb belly, bone marrow, hanger steak, trumpet mushrooms and the affogato for dessert. Will be coming back again soon!
Really good food and an intimate vibe at a surprisingly good price point for the area. One of my favourites during our stay. The duck breast and trump mushrooms!
A boisterous gastropub in Santa Monica that focuses on farm-to-table vegetable dishes. Try the wood roasted peas with mint, charcuterie, and plates of rib-sticking braised lamb belly.
Amazing food! I suggest ordering a bunch of small plates and sides. My favorites are the Jerusalem Artichokes, Balsamic GlazedRibs, Endive and Persimmon Salad, and the Squid Ink Pasta with Octopus.
We weren't sure what translates as the no1 restaurant on trip advisor. Let me tell you, the chef is a magician, brilliant blend of tastes... Get the soft shell crab& The squash with zucchini flowers.
Mediterranean influenced food and hospitality. Great coming here to find out what the chef has on the list for the day and be pleasantly surprised. You will need a reservation but it's totally worth!
An extraordinary addition to west side dining. Order a few of the vegetable side dishes - all are creative, delicious preparations that will force you to stop and admire the gorgeous presentations!
Nice upscalegastropub w/ tremendous food. Almost everything is cooked in wood fired ovens & they use different flavors of wood each night. Only issue: Tough to get a table...book way ahead!
Get the bone marrow if that's your sort of thing. Don't miss the oxtail dumplings! The chocolate tarbar with sweet rose creamery salted caramel ice cream is another highlight.
Grilled Asparagus, Baby Artichokes and Corn & MascarponeGnocchi what we tried and liked very much and at the end StrawberryRicotta was what we fall for 👏
You're not doing it right if you don't end your meal with the Strawberry Ricotta Crostata. It's served with honeycombice cream and sprinkled with thyme and black pepper.
