"Tar & Roses is Rustic Canyon’s cousin who just got a motorcycle. It has the same focus on fresh ingredients and shared plates, but with a more industrial feel, and also more meat. This restaurant works for pretty much any dinner situation - you can have a slightly nicer weeknight meal here, or make the most of the low-lit interior with a first date. The menu has lots of unique plates to share (get the oxtail dumplings and the bone marrow) and a solid wine list. Tar & Roses has been open for over five years and it’s still tricky to get a Friday night reservation, so clearly they’re doing something right." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
