Best Wine Bars in Beverly / Fairfax / La Brea / Third St.

Great pasta! Definitely coming back! The beet pasta was absolutely spectacular.

The music, staff and food were all incredible! They had some issues with their live sound— not the performers fault. I’m an audio engineer professionally, and the placement of their system needs to be fixed as well as the mix of the performers (it was jazz night). The microphone squeal a few times and the vocalist was too loud/the EQ was off. These were the only issues within the night, everything else was absolutely seamless.

Came here for wedding anniversary and had an intimate dinner with delicious food and wine. The truffle pasta was delicious and creme brûlée to die for. Will be back!

First of all, the first impression & look of the restaurant is really pretty. A true standout in the Farmer's Market. I would say that I think they should dim the lights some for dinner to give it a bit more of a cozy mood - lights were a bit too bright for that really pretty restaurant. I did make a reservation here for "outdoor patio" or "olive trees" (I think they call it), but when I showed up (early) for my reservation, the host said the only table available was one inside. Not my favorite for a restaurant to switch up your table location when you have been asked to indicate where you want to sit; and with no acknowledgment of "the table you requested is not available". But again, not a huge deal. Just a bit of a miss, especially in a relatively new restaurant. Our table started with the calamari, which tasted great. They do not serve enough aioli for the amount of calamari, but the flavors are spot on. I ordered the lasagna rolls based on reviews I had read as well as the waitress's recommendation. They were wonderful. I don't usually order lasagna because it's usually too heavy, but this is the perfect fix. The flavors are wonderful as well as the texture and it's just light enough to not make you feel like you've had a heavy meal. I also ordered the wine flight, because I wanted to taste the wines since the restaurant is spawned from the Mendocino winery. I liked all 3 I chose. I understand flights are typically served all 3 at a time, but in this case, the server places 3 large wine glasses in front of you, each wine you've chosen all at once. It looks a bit ridiculous. I would say that for the flight, the restaurant should have smaller glasses or just serve them 1 at a time. It's not a large space, so I think it would be easy enough to manage if you spaced them out. All said, I think there are minor details that could be looked at & if adjusted, this could be truly excellent. But we were more than satisfied. Happy, in fact, after our meal.

Wonderful food and ambience. We really enjoyed the special Thanksgiving service. Parking was easy, noting the $12 valet charge +2$ with card to simply park behind the restaurant. Waiters were very fast and professional. Rest rooms were clean. Nice selection of alcohol free cocktails. Noise level moderate when busy so table conversation can be hard if your hearing isn’t in top form.
