In this Santa Monica hot spot, 'impeccably designed" by Dodd Mitchell, 'young, loud crowds" sit side by side 'suburban West-sider foodies." This French-Asian fare cooked-up by new chef, Yuji Iwasa, 'tantalizes" while the long ebony wood bar seduces 'yuppie fashionistas." The upstairs bar/lounge is available for all styles of private events.
