Santa Monica​のホッとする料理が食べられるお店

I have been to Vetos many times and love the food. I guest of mine from out of town asked us to take him to a place he could have a good dinner, I thought of Vitos. As always the food was great and the service was as well. What I did not expect was after dinner my guest telling me how he had lived in Italy for many years, and the food here tasted just like he remembered.

So many staples in Westwood have closed since the pandemic, so we had shifted to restaurants in the San Fernando Valley before going to the Geffen Playhouse, but decided to try Wolfsglen last night for the 1st time. Am very pleased to say we have found our new "go to"! Food was exceptional (best Caesar I have ever had) and the seared salmon prepared perfectly (and there are so many ways to mess up salmon). My friend had the artichoke pizza, which would not have been top of list for me, but she had me try it and it too was delicious. Wine options were relatively few but of high quality so we unusually had two glasses each. Service was also exceptional, felt attended to without being overly interrupted, offered a not-on-the-menu side salad when I asked about their salad size as I wanted a salad ahead of the main course, and more. Noise volume and energy increased during the meal, and it got hard to hear each other along the way, but worth it all around and just might find a corner table next time. Will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family.

The four of us had a soft shelled crab tempura and shrimp mousse stuffed squash blossoms for an appetizer. The barramundi, boeuf bourguignonne, and lamb ribs were all excellent. We brough two exquisite wines, which were uncorked and decanted perfectly. The white tablecloths and 1960s music all made us feel like we were in an exclusive club. This is a hidden gem in Santa Monica.

The seared salmon entree was so delicious! Servers were excellent. Enjoyed sitting indoors. Very quiet.

Next level. More people need to be coming here. Essential.
