Item Description

We’re obsessed with our food.  Thus, our day starts at 6 a.m. with a trip to the local area Farmer’s Markets to find the perfect produce for that day.  If it doesn’t look, taste and smell right, we don’t bring it back with us.  (Sometimes, we have to switch up the menu to make sure that nothing underwhelming shows up in our dishes).  We also engage with the finest meat purveyors in Los Angeles to pick out savory cuts of meat that are choice enough to satisfy our inner hunters.  Then, we take our prizes back to the kitchen, where our main rule is:

If we can prepare it in-house, we prepare it in-house.  

This means we make our own robust chutney; our own piquant “Farmer’s Market Massacre” Bloody Mary Mix (with 30 different fire-roasted ingredients); our own ricotta, goat cheese, and yogurt; and our own breads.  Are we going overboard?

Never. You can’t go overboard striving for perfection.

As for the dishes themselves, our take on Provençal cooking is very simple and clean, using thoughtful methods to heighten flavors, and, of course, using tons of herbs.  A good example is our signature “Goachetta,” a dish that starts with a whole goat and takes around five hours to prepare, total.  It’s served with chevre gnocchi, rapini, mint, olives, and smoked red pepper sugo, and is centered around what we hope will be the most mouth-watering goat loin you’ll ever taste.
