Gourmet grub in gorgeous digs on Wilshire

Patio at Wilshire

This Santa Monica scenester spot’s got a former Top Chef-testant whipping up gourmet grub such as maple leaf duck breast and sweet pea ravioli. Pretend you're fancy and hit the bar at happy hour, so you can sip on specialty ‘tails like the Tequila Spa (with cucumber, grapes, and citrus) on the Bon Appetit-recognized patio (yep, that’s a thing) without having to steal your roommate's rent check.
