Citrin

When Josiah Citrin reimagined his Michelin-starred Santa Monica fine dining menu, he carved out space for another, slightly more casual affair. At his eponymous eatery, you'll find comforting but wholly gourmet takes on classics we could eat every night: pitch-perfect roast chicken coated in garlic and breadcrumbs; refreshing oysters under sorrel and cucumber; and, of course, Josiah Citrin's cult-classic lobster bolognese under truffle foam. Look to the happy hour for a slightly more budget-friendly experience.
