The newest sister restaurant to North, Bistro Zin, and Wildflower satisfies with upscale comfort food in a sophisticated setting, this one named for the chic dining district in L. A.'s Santa Monica. There's no view here, but floor-to-ceiling windows create a bright backdrop for nouvelle dishes like shrimp risotto with shiitake mushrooms and buttermilk chicken with chayote squash. Just for fun, toss the carb-counter aside and indulge in their sumptuous macaroni and cheese, grown-up style.
