Candlelight prevails at the charming and intimate Little Door Santa Monica, the Westside sister restaurant to Little Door on Third street in mid-city. The Westside location has all the charms of the original and a menu that presents Mediterranean cuisine with a French twist.
There are several dining areas and patios, which divide the space. The extensive wine list begins with grower champagnes and advances to a wide selection of French Burgundy and Bordeaux wines. Three French-born restaurateurs are behind the enterprise and the attention to interior details is quite exquisite. Both locations are favourites of celebrities, however, the dark corners ensure their privacy.
