What better way to capitalize on the fact that you are already running one of the best farm to table restaurants in the country than opening a restaurant that focuses on small plates? So it makes sense that most Angelenos locals love this restaurant from Suzanne Goin, serving up comments like, "Top-notch food and a good wine list earns it five stars in my book." Along with the usual list of suspects on the menu, like platters of charcuterie and a variety of salads, there are a few ambitious offerings like skirt steak with Roquefort butter and arroz negro with squid and saffron aioli.
