Upscale rustic design and a down-to-earth vibe set the stage for lingering at this NorCal-style bistro that feels worlds away from the Melrose Avenue madness.

In Short – Unlike some of the nearby high-end restaurants (and shops, for that matter), this indoor/outdoor place is unpretentious and friendly. Sitting two-by-two along the covered deck or at marble-topped tables in the snug double-sided dining room, perfectly mussed WeHo foodies share herb- and veggie-heavy California fare. The menu, split equally between appetizers and entrees, includes seasonal finds like white truffle mac 'n' cheese, salads and pizzettas.

I got a table with two bottles of Belvedere for $400 including tax and gratuity.

by dch122 at Citysearch
I went here for brunch and the portions were extremely bland and small.
