Modern French
You enter through a discreet side door, which sets the tone for Josiah Citrin's long-running Santa Monica tasting menu. Inside, the room feels like a velvet underground with good silverware, and the French decadence runs toward the gratuitous side, which is the point. Tableside saucing, antique silver press, dry-aged duck, truffles on everything. Two Michelin stars.
Two honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- Michelin Guide 2 Stars
- Los Angeles Times #23 · The 101 best restaurants in Los Angeles
One number, weighted & current 90
