The Curious Palate

I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend

Wonderful food- fresh, delicious. Excellent server, Linkin!

Omg this place is SOO good!! We have friends visiting and after a bike ride we were looking for a dinner spot. We found this place on yelp and the idea of fresh ingredients and everything made from scratch, caught our eye. We were not disappointed. Our server, Abigail was so nice and made our experience even better. We had the short rib tagliatelle, pea pesto pasta, coconut red curry, and a burger. Everything is hand made (the bread, the pasta, sauces, etc). This place is hidden in the mall so come find it!! They need more attention because they deserve it.

Experience feels trendy, dynamic, and unforgettable

Look at the one star reviews they are absolutely true. Good food, but doesn’t cover up for the terrible terrible service at this place. Racist waitress, have other parties kids crayons and play mats, didn’t give our kids anything like they didn’t exist. Gave to other customers though next to us. My wife wears a headscarf, pointing to everything that happened. Waitress talked about our religion, made fun of us, called us liars(we found hair in the food twice) told her about it and instead of being apologetic, she claimed we did it. Told her to watch the cameras if she didn’t believe us. She also told us to leave the restaurant as if she owned the place. If this lady continues to work here, she will run it out of business. Very sad, as the food is good, but will make sure no one I know goes back here. You can’t do this to customers, you can’t make fun of peoples religions and families. Wrong on so many levels. If I owned the place she would be gone on the spot. Doesn’t seem like the owner cares because, as you can see in previous reviews, she hasn’t changed.

Another hidden gem that Sally from Six Taste showed us today. We had an office outing and ended the day here to a very tasty meal and a craft beer for me. The homemade spritzers were a hit with everyone. The homemade ketchup was the perfect excuse for me to finish all of my fries. it's located in the Santa Monica mall on the top floor so lots of sunlight and open air vibes, but you would not know this great restaurant is up there without doing some research. Well worth your time and support. We'll be back!

This place is such a hidden gem - The quality of the food is so elevated!! Grass fed beef burgers and homemade hummus on the kids menu... It was the first time I felt amazing about the quality of food my kid was getting. Fish tacos were incredible, never frozen, pasta and breads are made in house too. And the prices were so insanely reasonable for this type of food experience that it felt like we were practically stealing!

The owners were so outgoing and friendly and truly made us feel welcome. They even told us they go to the SM Farmer's Market on Saturday to use farm fresh produce in the dishes. Their passion for creating tasty meals with high quality ingredients is very apparent. Can't wait to be back again soon!
