The Upper West is a vibrant dining destination in Santa Monica that features innovative American cuisine. Featuring an open kitchen, a 27-foot long bar, a sophisticated but approachable wine list, tantalizing cocktails and chef created dishes, it is hard not to love this place. Chef Nick Shipp creates the hand-crafted dishes on the menu which is constantly changing to reflect the best of locally sourced ingredients; taking global flavor cues from culinary hot-spots around the world, you'll find that each dish is a culinary adventure. Start what will surely be an outstanding meal with appetizers like the Braised Lamb Crepes or the Seared Hawaiian Swordfish, then feast on heartier fare that might include dishes like Grilled Kobuta Pork Tenderloin, Miso Glazed Duck & Apple Meatballs and The Giselle (a Gulf coast blue crab seared crab cake sandwich). The delightful meals can be accentuated by stunning glasses or bottles of wine and cocktails that are equally delicious as the meals themselves. From the "Wine of the Moment" to beer and whiskey flights, you can tempt your palate with tasty libations that on their own make this venue well worth the visit. With an urban but still rustic decor and an TriBeCa loft like ambiance, the dining room and outdoor patio offer diners plenty of room for devouring fabulous fare, or pull up a seat at the chicly lit bar and sip while chatting the night away. While you're there, be sure to take advantages of daily specials. Open weekdays for lunch and dinner and dinner only on the weekends, it only takes one visit to discover for yourself that The Upper West really does have it all!
