Manuela Wine Club
Monthly
Let us bring Manuela to you with our Wine Club. Sign up to our monthly subscription and enjoy two bottles every month, selected by Sommelier Brian Baeza. He will prioritise small producers and winemakers – some will be the kind of wines we always want on the table, others will be rarer finds. Members will receive tasting notes and perks, and can also opt into the Cellar Pick, a special bottle for those who like to chase the hard-to-find wines.

Visit Our Chickens
Don’t miss the chance to visit our chickens. In addition to growing some of our own fruits, vegetables, and herbs, our garden area is home to our flock of chickens. They provide us with fresh eggs and help support our composting & sustainability efforts. Swing by the coop and say hi next time you join us at the restaurant.

Glen Ligon: Sit So Your Back Isn't Against The Door
30 September 2026 - 17 January 2027
On view together for the first time in over 25 years this fall at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles, Glenn Ligon’s Coloring Book paintings reveal a rarely seen facet of the artist’s practice. Conceived during a 1999 – 2000 residency at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the series began when Ligon invited children to color pages from Afrocentric coloring books of the late 1960s and early 1970s before translating their uninhibited markings into large-scale paintings. Colorful and exuberant on first encounter, the works unfold into a rich meditation on history, authorship and the shifting nature of meaning.
