Rustic Canyon

Santa Monica1119 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90401

From the get-go, chef/owner Josh Loeb of Rustic Canyon wanted to create a restaurant that kept community in mind. The dream was for the space to feel cozy without sacrificing craft. His beloved restaurant was born from this vision, offering a menu that's eclectic and comforting, showcasing the best of California’s seasonal ingredients. Nowadays, the kitchen is helmed by the talented Zarah Khan, the first female chef to lead the culinary team since its opening in 2006. The 300+ bottle wine list, curated by Kathryn Coker, celebrates smaller producers whose focus is on soil health and chemical-free processes. Private parties of up to 40 guests can enjoy a seated dinner on the back patio, while a full buyout (including the main dining room, sidewalk, and back patios) accommodates up to 120.
