Tar & Roses shared by @infatuation says: ""With a convenient location in downtown Santa Monica and a wide-ranging menu filled with everything from oxtail dumplings to octopus skewers to a strawberry ricotta crostata, Tar & Roses is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. And we don’t mean that in a back-handed compliment kind of way either. The food is excellent and easily shareable (they do three-course family-style meals with wood-fired goat, paella, and chili crab that need to be reserved in advance) and the space perfectly straddles the line between being upscale dining and a casual neighborhood hangout spot."" on Postcard
