Food Scene

The premiere Abbot Kinney restaurant. Owners Travis Lett, Fran Cemaj, and Shelley Armistead are well-renowned in SoCal and this 'sceney' restaurant proves why. Stellar think crust pizzas, pastas, and greens, plus a stunning wine list make for an amazing dinner. And don't forget brunch!!! "Hot spot for seasonal New American cuisine presented in a rustic-chic dining room."
