"Another stop on any Santa Monica booze-free crawl should be this French-Asian mashup that’s part of Josh Loeb’s esteemed Rustic Canyon family. It’s within walking distance of the Promenade and Pier, but out of the main tourist fray. Standout dishes such as spicy wontons, raw spicy scallops, and beef rendang need a cooling foil in a drink, and that’s where the teetotaling Garden Gimlet, made with Seedlip Garden 108, lime, and mint, comes in." - Vox Creative
