BITES

by Miles Clements, CityBeat | February 26, 2009

See, Food Santa Monica got a double dose of good food news recently, a milestone marked by the 70th anniversary of Santa Monica Seafood. Coinciding with the festivities is the market’s move from its longtime home on Colorado Avenue to a new retail and café space at Wilshire and Tenth that also boasts a new Italian-inspired menu, crudo included. Sharing coveted parking spots with Santa Monica Seafood is the Huckleberry Café, Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan’s new Rustic Canyon spinoff. The café presents plenty of pastries (eclairs, tarts, cakes, crostatas), but also offers soups, sandwiches, fresh-baked breads and even full-scale catering.
