The Spot.
Wine shop and bar, serving drinks and small plates. Apart of the Rustic Canyon Westside Empire, Esters opened in July 2015, across the hall from their sister restaurant Cassia, in a 1937 Art Deco landmark in downtown Santa Monica. As you swirl the glass, you release the esters. Highlighting plant-friendly wines from small producers, all-day menu with farmers’ market-driven dishes, snacks and cheeses that pair with wine, including a daily happy hour.
Anchored by a gorgeous neutral and sage bar, seating inside is cozy with only a few banquet tables and a small corner couch. Stringed lights and great seating available on the patio.
The Menu.
You’ll find one of everything in the entrees list, meat, vegetable plate, fish etc., but the real fun is in their carefully curated selection of charcuterie boards. Menu highlights include:
Petit Trois - Selection of any three cheeses, meats & vegetables, served with accoutrements.
21-Day Dry-Aged NY Strip Steak au Poivre - Cracked peppercorn crusted steak with duck fat potatoes and creamy peppercorn sauce.
Head on Prawns a la Plancha - Occhipinti olive oil + sel gris
Petit Plateau - 6 oysters, scallop tartare, crudo, with house sauces, horseradish, lemon & crisps.
