When it opened in 2019, Pasjoli helped to usher in a new era of fine dining on Santa Monica’s bustling Main Street. James Beard Award-winning chef Dave Beran is a master of French cuisine with an exacting attention to detail, putting modern touches on traditional dishes like dry-aged steak tartare with nasturtium pesto and a showstopping pressed duck for two. An elegant dining room outfitted with arches makes every dinner here feel like a special occasion.
