West Hollywood, Los Angeles · restaurant
A cozy Melrose hideaway resurrected from a coffee shop into a natural wine-lover’s dream: oak-lined walls, a tiny open kitchen, and a vibe that says “weekday plan” rather than party stage. Expect snacky plates (hello anchovies with hazelnuts), hundreds of wines you’ve never heard of, and the kind of spot you walk into at 4 p.m. for “one glass” and leave past nine admitting you were totally caught up.
Tender pork collar with jus, artichoke, and coco bean caponata.
Rockfish carpaccio with brown butter. Cal-European wine bar favorite.
Vanilla ice cream in a delicious cookie crumble made from leftover bread
Starter, served with potato chips and trout roe.
Brown butter, mango nectarines, shiso, crushed pistachios, citrus
Flaky black cod poached in beurre monte, citrus kosho. "Best on the menu"
