THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Wilshire Restaurant Restaurant Review:

About the chef: Wilshire Restaurant in Santa Monica has a homey feel, thanks to the variety of inviting dining spaces. Adjacent to the interior bar and lounge is "The Library" room lined with books. However, the real attraction is the multi-level outdoor patio shaded by trees and sail-like canvases. Guests will find another bar as well as loft-like private dining areas that overlook the action.

About the food & drinks: Chef Brendan Collins (formerly of Birch) now oversees the kitchen and presents California cuisine. During the English Roasts on Sundays, guests can choose from salmon, half chicken, beef roast or veggies served on a wood plank with Brussels sprouts, carrots, peas, roast potatoes, cauliflower and cheese, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. At dinner, the market-inspired menu might start off with chicken liver pâté or hamachi sashimi. Entrées offer wide appeal with options like pasta, braised short ribs and whole roast chicken. For dessert, indulge in sticky toffee pudding. Discounted bar snacks are featured during happy hour (Mon.-Sat., 5 p.m.-8 p.m.), available only in the front bar area. Sunday brunch brings bottomless mimosas, Bloody Marys and margaritas, alongside lemon-poppy seed pancakes and crab Benedict.
