 Few know that Wilshire Boulevard encompasses a 16-mile span, running from the sands of Santa Monica all the way east to downtown. Executive chef Simon Dolinky, a protégé of Restaurant August’s John Besh, has landed in Los Angeles. The chef brings his Midwestern sensibilities and direct-from-the-farm passion with him in a to-the-point menu that emphasizes organic and sustainable, including the green oriented surroundings. This is American fare that utilizes the best of Southern California's farms in upmarket style. Don’t expect overly complicated plates; instead anticipate big flavors. Dolinky’s appetizers show off his nimbleness. The market vegetables---just-picked radishes and cucumber turned into an ultra light consommé---accompany yellowtail tartare and star equally on the marquee. Dolinky harvests herbs like basil, mint, thyme and rosemary from an on-site garden. This enterprise has inspired dishes such as the pappardelle pasta with mint, English pea ragoût, roasted cipollini onion and French butter sauce. Beef is sourced locally and amplified by wine-soaked cherries and Point Reyes blue cheese. This is silky comfort food that does not weigh you down. Be sure to taste one of the restaurant’s creative cocktails; the BLVD 16 infuses vodka with ginger liqueur and citrus juice. We liked the by-the-glass selection of wine for its balance and creativity.
