Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: July 1 | Eater LA

"Once seated at his breezy, casual Italian restaurant, I found diners aged from 8 to 70 packed inside and on the sprawling sidewalk patio, nibbling on ultra-fresh salad greens and aromatic strawberries picked from Slay’s garden in Santa Rita Hills. The vaguely Mediterranean building and semi-open kitchen give off coastal Italian vibes, and the seared seabass special—served with a runny, savory risotto and a lemon-butter sauce that balances ultra-ripe cherry tomatoes and cheese—felt suave and effortless while still reflecting a terrific sense of place. Slay’s menus reveal a timelessness: the chef knows that great ingredients win every time." - Eater Staff
