You don’t need to be a genius to work out the philosophy behind this likeable restaurant that is a perfect fit for the Bishop Arts District. Local ingredients in season are used here to create fresh tasting, colorful, and rewarding dishes. Vegetables are often given star billing rather than mere supporting roles and the kitchen isn’t afraid of incorporating a little international flavor here and there. So, carrots may come with dukkah, branzino with harissa, and pork ribs with miso; and be sure to start off with some of their delicious focaccia. The time of year not only informs their menu but also their cocktail list, so it’s worth exploring. The space is bright and contemporary and the atmosphere, warm and energetic.
