"An homage to chef-owner Cristina Topham’s Lebanese roots, this restaurant leans into California’s fresh and local ethos. In keeping with the wintry season, Topham’s tabbouleh swaps quinoa and apple for the usual bulgur and tomatoes. Grain bowls are fragrant with saffron rice and apricots, and “dirty fries” are dusted with za’atar and jacked up with pickled onions and yogurt-tahini sauce. Extra points for a shaded, dog and kid-friendly patio and a tight wine list focused on Lebanon, Tunisia, and other less-common regions." - Christina Mueller
