The Santa Monica Dinner Guide

"Montana Avenue is like the most popular member of your grandma’s Bridge club: loves to flaunt her wealth, and knows too much about everyone in the neighborhood. She’s not exactly your ideal dinner guest, just like Montana is not your ideal dinner destination. But Forma is a modern space that gives you a reason to be in this part of town. The small plates are great across the board, the cheese and charcuterie list is extensive, and the pastas are tossed in a cheese wheel for extra flavor. Just like that time Ethel casually told you about her stint in a traveling circus, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much fun you can have at Forma." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
