"Located in the Fairfax boutique hotel of the same name, Short Stories might have the most tranquil patio in Weho right now. The lush courtyard is filled with fluffy white banquettes, wicker chairs, bushes of blooming flowers, and several full-grown trees for good measure. Most importantly, this place is still a bit of a secret, so you can usually walk right in and have the place to yourself. The lunch menu is small, but useful, with a couple of different salads, a house burger, and a section dedicated to various rice and quinoa bowls. " - brant cox
