In Short
Unlike some of the nearby high-end restaurants (and shops, for that matter), this indoor/outdoor place is unpretentious and friendly. Sitting two-by-two along the covered deck or at marble-topped tables in the snug double-sided dining room, perfectly mussed WeHo foodies share herb- and veggie-heavy California fare. The menu, split equally between appetizers and entrees, includes seasonal finds like white truffle mac 'n' cheese, salads and pizzettas. The unusual but simple starter of grilled romaine lettuce topped with warm gorgonzola, bacon and Granny Smith apples is a must-try. Main course highlights like Kobe beef burger and crispy parmesan chicken paillard atop creamy potato puree step things up, while the decor of soft browns and deep red adds--not to mention friendly waitstaff--maintain a down-to-earth vibe.
