The Larchmont (CLOSED)

This cozy neighborhood eatery brings farm-to-table fare to sophisticated Mid-Wilshire palates. The two-floored bistro-meets-bungalow evokes a modern yet intimate vibe, which aptly complements the rustic menu. The Larchmont punctuates each dish with a medley of bold flavors, which can be particularly enjoyed in the yellowtail Jack crudo with fennel, ginger and chilis or polenta gratin with wild mushroom ragout. The place is open for lunch during the week and dinner everyday—weekend brunch soon to come.
