Michelin-starred Dialogue serves a seasonal 18-course tasting menu out of an 800-square-foot space inside a mall food court in Santa Monica. Executive chef and owner Dave Beran’s highly conceptual menu features dishes that symbolize the layers of the ground, hidden under leaves in winter, like a dish featuring pumpkin seeds covered in burnt parsley that simulates the twigs and seeds of a forest floor, or a black sesame and whipped yuzu course that resembles a spoonful of dirt.
