Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.
