A Savory Experience
[youtube id=”pcQxUShejt8″]
by: Sophie Gayot
Chef Paul Shoemaker had a Chumash Indian blessing ceremony when Savory, his Malibu restaurant, opened. We’d like to believe that the sacred vibe of the Chumash permeates the California bistro, and that Savory will be a success.
Many elements are there for the beach town residents: an elegant, yet casual and welcoming décor; very fresh local produce; tasty cuisine; low prices (the most expensive dish is $16); a quality wine list; and very good service.
Learn more about chef Shoemaker with my exclusive video above, and explore some of his dishes with the photos below. You can read my review of Savory in our Restaurant section.
