The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: June 23 | Eater LA

"A sleek, indoor-outdoor hotel restaurant with distant beach views and a relaxed, sunset-ready vibe (flowing white curtains and a DJ) that showcases unabashedly California cooking built around peak seasonal produce. Highlights range from a stone fruit salad with arugula, endive, and ricotta salat to a leg of charred Spanish octopus finished with a savory chorizo velouté and dragon’s beard greens, and a lamb loin/tenderloin prepared medium-rare and served with a refined ratatouille, plump spring peas, and slender roasted carrots. The menu nods to the chef’s earlier Jiraffe-era techniques, creating dishes that feel both regionally rooted and reminiscent of the south of France, with the ocean view enhancing the overall experience." - Eater Staff
