 Wilshire Restaurant Restaurant Review: Wilshire Restaurant offers a warm interior, created by hot designer Thomas Schoos, that features an ivory-and-chocolate palette, cozy leather banquettes and dark wood tables, sans linen. However, the real attraction is the outdoor patio shaded by trees and sail-like canvases. It features its own bar and an array of private dining areas at different elevations. Executive chef Nyesha Arrington, who appeared on season 9 of "Top Chef," turns out a seasonally inspired menu that reflects California cuisine based on French technique. Starters might include mussels in a spicy green curry broth; steak tartare; and a selection of flatbreads. Among entrées, you'll find items like braised short ribs with creamy polenta or broiled black cod with honey mustard glaze and roasted cipollini onion broth, as well as wood-grilled steaks. Desserts range from chocolate bread pudding to interesting ice cream and sorbet flavors such as sweet pea-mint. Discounted drinks and bar snacks can be found at happy hour from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, there's a $35 unlimited brunch buffet with an omelet station and a mimosa and Bloody Mary bar. The atmosphere is quite different after 10 p.m. on Saturday nights, when the restaurant turns into a dance club with a DJ and a line of revelers out the door.
