Dining room at Wilshire Restaurant, Santa Monica, CAWilshire 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. Whimsical circular mirrors reflect the candlelit scene, but the real attraction is the patio. Topped with sail-like canvases, the shady space features copious candlelight, firelight and a burbling water feature. The cuisine is a sophisticated spin on comfort foods---crafted with high-quality, seasonal and organic ingredients sourced from farmers markets. Starters on the daily-changing menu might include pomegranate glazed quail accompanied by warm apples, potato, frisée, walnuts and Roaring Forties blue cheese. Among entrées, you'll find items like braised short ribs and seared diver scallops with root vegetable ragoût, truffled potato cream and bordelaise, as well as several wood-grilled steaks. Desserts are playful and intriguing, such as "coffee & doughnuts," composed of an espresso float, white chocolate ice cream and cinnamon-sugar doughnuts. The always-lively bar attracts hipsters of all ages.
