"From the same husband-and-wife team behind Encinitas’s popular Little Victory Wine Market, comes a new wine bar destination in Carlsbad. Little Victory Wine Bar, perched on Oak Avenue in Carlsbad’s booming dining scene, brings the same concerted attention to detail to its food menu as it does its wine list: Find snacks like tinned fish (served with hot sauce and baguette), beef tartare, and crudo alongside more formidable plates like Parmesan-flecked risotto and a pan-seared pork chop with spring peas and mushrooms. Wines include jammy Gamay and skin contact options like a 2022 Viognier." - Helen I. Hwang
"Opened on April 9 as a natural wine bar and the second venture from husband-wife team Jeremy Simpson and Kirsten Potenza (who run Little Victory Wine Market in Encinitas), the kitchen is helmed by chefs Kelly and Elliott Townsend from Long Story Short and showcases Southern California ingredients influenced by Italian and Scandinavian culinary techniques. Menu offerings include house-cured fish, beef tartare, risotto, and Basque cheesecake." - Helen I. Hwang
