12 Great Wine Bar Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Run by the same crew as Sushi Note, Melanie looks and feels like many other good wine bars around town. There’s a well-curated list filled with mostly European biodynamic wines, a cute space that feels like a friend’s living room, and a chatty waitstaff there to answer any questions about chilled Beaujolais. What makes a night at this cozy Beverly Grove spot so memorable though is the food. There’s excellent snack-y things like little gem lettuce and homemade tater tots as big dishes like hangar steak and branzino in roasted poblano sauce. The mussels, however, are the standout. They’re plump, buttery, and come bathed in a rich, savory vadouvan curry." - brant cox
