Dave Beran's 18-seat Michelin two-star counter in Santa Monica — the most personal tasting menu in Los Angeles
Dave Beran's 18-seat counter restaurant is among the most thoughtful dining experiences in California. The menu — a single nightly tasting of 10 to 14 courses — reads as a personal essay on California's seasons, filtered through Beran's fine-dining background at Alinea and Next in Chicago. Every plate is explained with genuine care, and the counter format means you watch the kitchen work in real time. The Michelin two-star recognition landed quickly and accurately. This is a special-occasion restaurant in the truest sense — the kind of meal you remember specifically — and May is one of the best times to experience what Southern California's spring produce can do in expert hands.
