Primitivo Description:
It will come as no surprise, once you've stepped over this hip wine bar's threshold, that one of the owners of this spot is a former Hollywood set designer. With a massive bar and thick, white columns on one side and a sleekly stripped-down dining area on the other, the vibe in this restaurant row storefront is of constant energy. The menu matches the mood with a long list of tapas placed center table for passing, demanding that patrons take an active role in the dining experience. Specialties evolve from traditional Spanish into an array of global flavors, including golden beet salad, kampachi crudo, rock shrimp ceviche, lightly fried calamari (cooked in olive oil), paella, seared diver scallops and harissa lamb chops. For dessert, the flan, made from the chef's grandmother's secret recipes, is the real deal. Because this is a wine bar, the by-the-glass list promises an around-the-world adventure and diners can choose from half or full portions. There's also a multi-page wine list, which echoes the restaurant's philosophy for a fun, experimental experience.
