Description

Rustic Canyon, a farm-to-table neighborhood restaurant, offers seasonal, market-driven fare in a stylish and sociable setting. The menu from Chef Jeremy Fox changes daily and is inspired by ingredients from the nearby Santa Monica Farmers’ Market, among other local purveyors. Co-owner Josh Loeb opened his flagship restaurant in December 2006, at which he later met business partner and now wife, Zoe Nathan, when she joined the team as pastry chef in 2007.

Jeremy is an award-winning chef, having garnered accolades including Food & Wine “Best New Chef 2008,” top rankings in Los Angeles Times’ “Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants” 2013-2016, and three James Beard finalist nominations for “Best Chef – West.”

Designed by Wine Director and Esters Co-Owner Kathryn Coker to be consummately food-friendly, the beer and wine list at Rustic Canyon presents a rotating 30-plus wines by the glass, 500-plus selections by the bottle, and a carefully curated menu of artisan beers on tap and by the bottle. The restaurant also offers cocktails by Bar Manager Aaron Ranf, who oversees the programs at Milo & Olive, Esters, and Tallula’s, incorporating seasonal produce and small-batch spirits.



"We're a critically-acclaimed neighborhood restaurant that grew from a series of dinners which founder Josh Loeb held inside his family's beautiful tree house of a home. We offer a regularly changing menu of farmers' market-inspired dishes showcasing ingredients from local farmers, ranchers & fishermen with sustainable practices. Executive Chef Zarah Khan & James Beard-nominated Chef/Owner Jeremy Fox bring their vision of seasonality, simplicity & slow food to Rustic Canyon's kitchen, alongside a deep commitment to zero-waste. Our celebrated 300+ wine list curated by Sommelier Kathryn Spencer features small producers whom she knows & loves, while Bar Manager Justin Dicken's inventive, seasonal cocktail program showcases small-batch spirits."

Reviews
Delicious and inspirational cuisine. The endive and pork chop dishes stood out as our favorites, but nothing disappointed. Ingredients were fresh and well used in each. Complex and varied textures were a focus we both enjoyed. And while it amped up the brightness, food was a tad salty on some dishes. Both drinks we ordered were delightful: Bloodshot and The Good Decision. Well balanced and interestingly nuanced. Service was very attentive and knowledgeable and decisively improved the experience. Great work here! Rustic Canyon was a wonderful way to enhance our anniversary night.
Reservations? Glad we had them. Granted, it wasn't too busy at 5:25pm on a Tuesday, but it got busy soon after. When I tasted the food, I knew why. Fun fact, Michelin Star restaurants are called such due to their origin from the Michelin Tire company which started a guidebook featuring restaurants of high quality and taste. Rustic Canyon is a Michelin Star restaurant! Don't be surprised when you see the Michelin Man holding toothpicks at the door. That's a good sign. The staff? Knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. The food? Perfectly portioned, exquisite, and tasteful. Everything we ordered was delicious, even if some dishes were surprising in their ingredients. Cousin to Birdie G's, make this a must in Santa Monica.
4.4/5 We went to the rustic canyon for a birthday celebration after reading great reviews about it. We ordered almost everything on the menu as for the most part, the plates are on the smaller side. The best dish we tried was the pork chops with salmon roe which were absolutely incredible. While a lot of the plates were good, some of them were also a little underwhelming. The anchovies dish in particular was extremely salty. I understand that canned anchovies are salty, but there are ways to tone down the salt levels like using acidity. All in all, the creativity was greatly admired, the service was great, and the pork chops were incredible. We at the Zasón guide give them a Ç for creativity and the pork chop dish.
Great food, great ingredients, and usually great execution. Rustic Canyon is easily one of my top 3 restaurants in the LA area and I've been back again and again. Some of the dishes can be misses because they change their menu multiple times a week, but the mainstays are all fantastic. While the cost is on the higher end, the pricing is easily fair for what you get. The beets/berries, sourdough pasta, gem salad, and bread are all wonderful. I personally did not enjoy the chicken that they are so well known for, it was too sweet and not balanced which was a surprise and I have not ordered it again. I also recommend trying multiple desserts as their dessert chef is quite good!
This restaurant is contemporary Californian, with a unique wine list and unique dishes, or the way they are prepared. Fried pork belly with pickled veggies was not my favorite, as the overall taste was pickled veggies. Pork chop and sourdough pasta were really good. Deserts were also very unique and different. Definitely a different experience.
Come prepared to eat with both your eyes and your mouth. The good looking staff aspiring actors, perhaps will be a feast for the windows of your soul, making up for the lack of colors in the food. The chef incorporates a great deal of local ingredients California cuisine as it is referred apparently as seen in all the brand names in the ingredients and concocts dishes that are fresh and tasty. However, they really lack in presentation. Truly, the eyes need to eat before the mouth. Also, the staff and the kitchen could have done a better job at the order the food was brought out. We ordered multiple entrees to share between us 2 and some really strong flavor dishes came out before the milder flavored ones. Overall, I came for the one Michelin star and ended up subtracting a star from the overall score
Very tasty food with great, mindful service. They had a snap pea dish which was perfect. There was a unique dessert in the photo. The fish was perfectly cooked.. This place deserves the Michelin star.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: Yes
Delicious dinner Should have gotten the beets and berries Overall very happy. Pasta and morels was favorite. Very rich,Smokey and earthy. So amazing
Nice atmosphere and friendly wait staff. The berries and beets were my favorite, I think it was a great balance of healthy items. The steak tartare was just okay - very interesting texture but lacking in any notable flavor.
Dreamt for a year about this place since I’ve tried it. Back again and flavors so unique and on point. Taste buds doing a happy dance. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If you eat pork, must get the pork chop, worth all the $$$$$
