Marea Beverly Hills

A honey onyx bar lit from behind anchors a room of pale leather banquettes, with a blue Murano chandelier over the lounge, the work of New York firm Nusla Design. PJ Calapa's menu opens cold on caviar, oysters and langoustine tartare before turning to pasta: fusilli with bone marrow and octopus, orecchiette under duck leg ragu. Out front a patio sits beneath a wall of plants.
