From the chef and owner of Thyme Café & Market, Maire Byrne has opened her second restaurant, Local Kitchen + Wine Bar, a casual dining experience in Santa Monica that pairs small seasonal plates and handcrafted Neapolitan style pizza with exceptional wines and small batch cocktails.

The menu takes a modern approach to fresh, locally sourced ingredients including Kenter Canyon Farm’s herbs and lettuces, Hobb’s Pepperoni and seasonal farmers’ market produce. The wood burning pizza oven is the main focal point of the convivial bar.
