Rustic Canyon

Lavender almonds , beets and berries , crispy potatoes with chicken gravy ... Everything is delicious! Also appreciate that the flavors here are fresh and unique, not just a menu of current food trends.

In addition to a new full bar program, chef Jeremy Fox 's lighter California-style veggie-centered dishes shine, making the staple westside date spot once again obligatory. [Eater 38 Member]

Fabulously sourced, impeccably prepared selection of dishes in a warm, convivial space. Spot-on service, with a well-curated wine list with both harder to find domestic and international selections

"Everyone has a beet salad and this is one of the best we have ever had. It is earthy, but not too earthy. It's so well balanced. Jeremy is a master with vegetables !"- Genevieve Gergis Read more

This wine bar has an ever-evolving menu of the best of the best in food and wine . One thing remains consistent, their selection of Bordeaux , whether by the glass or bottle, is a must try.

The Crispy White Polenta with wild mushtooms, sunny-side farm egg , parmigiano-reggiano... fantastic! Really, you can't go wrong with anything on this menu, including the ice cream & sorbet selection.

Great food! Locally sourced menu changes daily. Good spot for a date or with a few people so you can try and share a bunch of small plates

Just found out they no longer have the burger on the menu!! Told new chef is trying out new things in a limited kitchen. Totally get that, but please put it back- was the best burger in LA .

One of the better burgers in L.A.! Don't let Father's Office deter you from trying this place. Come around early or late lunch to avoid the crowds!

Sourdough pasta and polenta cake were the two best of what we had

Moderately priced super seasonal eats straight from SM farmers markets served in a pleasant, tasteful space. Seasonal desserts come from neighbor bakery Huckleberry . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The grilled nectarine + polenta + ricotta + arugula is ridiculously awesome

Pricey yet wonderful farm to table restaurant , and don't hesitate to call last minute to rsvp because there's often a cancellation that you can fill ;-)

Although it's called a wine bar , try their cocktails too, which are very creative and very good!

I wish I could delete all the posts about the burger . The waiter said they have not had burgers for years.

A fantastic trio with wine expert Josh Loeb, pastry chef Zoe Nathan and Executive chef Evan Funke change their menu monthly and also incorporate craft beers into their culinary arsenal.

For a place that has "Wine Bar " in the title, I come here for the food. Oh the irony of it all but yes the food is fantastic.

The hip L.A. version of Chez Panisse, this is one of the best spots in Santa Monica offering small plates and seasonal ingredients .

really good burger - add the thick bacon ! the shrimp scampi and broccoli rabe with burrata are delicious!

You HAVE to try their Niman Ranch Burger , and make sure you add the egg and fries ! Best burger I've had in LA so far!

The food was ok. Service is good and timely not intrusive and not lacking. My personal opinion is that they are trying too hard to be trendy . The tables are on top of each other.

Best wine by the glass - get the Gargiulo Sangiovese. Great winemaker, goes with much of the menu and a fair price !

Niman Ranch Burger . Dish out the extra $3 (used to be $2, le sigh) for the fried egg . You're already going big by eating an $18 burger so why not get the works? Enjoy.

Locally sourced , as sustainable as possible, and reasonably priced. What's not to love?

Burger is solid and wine selection is varied and delicious

Burger is out of this world. Don't eat all day though. It's rich. Pairs well with a big red wine .

an amazing experience with a insanely amazing menu

Best food in town ! The chicken was phenomenal. Chef Jeremy Fox is a miracle worker.

Ricotta dumplings and Banana pudding are great

Off the menu burger is delicious! A main stayer from previous chef - you gotta be in the know

A sip of a French red wine and the best Burger in LA . Can't say no to that!

ricotta dumplings , yams , rockfish w chili butter

Ok yes the burger is sinful. But surprise superstars- the almonds . Basil or something kick is outrageous

Wines overpriced. Food good. Quality craft beers . Nice ambiance. Think that pretty much covers it. Enjoy.

Get the burger . Add the egg . Add the bacon . It's f*ckin insane good.

The bun is a standard brioche , but the toppings have been chosen for maximum impact, and this is where the burger sings. Read more

New and interesting burgers every Monday! Also- allagash curieux- not on menu BUT IT'S THERE! oak burbon barrel aged brilliance.

Five fabulous women loving the beets and shooting the breeze. Wish it were a bit quieter . Thanks Gai for taking us all...

Order the "secret" burger - and get the egg ! About $25 I think.

Just order the cauliflower . Even if you hate cauliflower . Just listen to me, and order the damn cauliflower Right. This. Minute.

The Lavender Sugared Almonds are amazing!

Request a booth at the back and choose a selection the small plates !

The melon soup is out of this world.

The burger is not on the menu , just ask for it!

We took starters selection. This is very, very good.

Get bacon with your burger . It's amazing!

Be aware that they changed the menu and they don't have their burgers anymore, the steak is good though.

The burger is fathers office meets animal style - hands down, the BEST BURGER IN LA (yeah, I said it)

Get the roasted chicken !

Lovely duck confit
