"With vaulted ceilings, mismatched chairs, and old framed photos hanging on the walls, Wood Spoon looks a lot like that Parisian flat we fantasize about while stuck in traffic on the 405. The Brazilian menu, made up of traditional Mineiro dishes like seafood stew in a coconut sauce and our favorite chicken pot pie in the entire world, feels like true home cooking. At some point during the meal, you and your friend-date will probably forget you’re even at a restaurant altogether." - brant cox
