![]() Michael's Restaurant Review: Want to see and be seen? This is the place. Famous for the A-list media types who frequent it, this outpost of the Santa Monica restaurant serves up California cuisine. Owner-host (he jets in from California about every ten days) Michael McCarty wins customer loyalty with the restaurant's professional service and style and simple, high-quality cuisine. Striking---very '80s---modern art hangs on the restaurant's walls. The atrium dining area feels like one in post-disco era Southern California, which is, of course, where and when McCarty began setting his trends. This California vibe wafts into the kitchen where longstanding credos of wood grilling, minimal saucing and lots of vegetables and greens are strictly followed. Michael's pastas are light and flavorful and the wine list entices with a first-rate collection of California bottlings, especially older Cabernets. |
