Few cities in America can boast as many accomplished female chef/restaurateurs as Los Angeles. And, though she has never been one to hog the spotlight, one of the finest is Josie Le Balch, who has quietly been turning out lovably elevated American dishes for seven years in this serene charcoal-walled, wood floored Santa Monica spot. A bonus is a staff genuinely excited about the frequently interesting wines they pour.
