It will come as no surprise, once you've stepped over this hip wine bar's threshold, that one of the owners of this sleek spot is a former Hollywood set designer. The vibe in this Abbot Kinney restaurant is of constant energy. The menu matches the mood with a long list of tapas placed center table for passing. Paella is made from scratch, and well worth the 45-minute wait. Because this is a wine bar, the list by the glass promises an around-the-world adventure. Excludes gratuity. No expiration.
Special thanks to the Kruis-Grant family.
