whenever someone wants a fancy meal in santa monica, we go to tar & roses. well, not super fancy - for that, we go to melisse. but for normal fancy - we go to t&r. small plates of innovative hipster-y dishes to share. pictured is the whole fried snapper that angie and c really enjoyed. it was cool to look at, but my favorite dish was the bone marrow with red onion marmalade and sea salt. the menu changes somewhat depending on the season. like when english peas were in season - t&r served them grilled and coated in mint and other herbs - eaten like edamame. that was cindy c's favorite. there's an excellent wine list too. (that would be anthony's favorite). reservations are necessary - even with a reservation, there may be a wait. but order a glass of wine as soon as you get through the door and you won't mind waiting.
nothing wrong with appreciating a wine list. but those english peas are worth going back for.
