Message from the Business
At Wilshire, our menu is developed around local, organic, and seasonal ingredients, taking advantage of our uniquely rich and divers farmers markets. Dishes originate from a fusion of American and International influences, presented in a simple and accessible style. We call this "New Urban Cuisine," reflecting the modern sensibilities of supporting sustainable farming, enjoying sophisticated and excellent food, and gathering in a beautiful but casual atmosphere. Wilshire is a neighborhood restaurant. We pride ourselves on friendly and attentive service, and look forward to welcoming you for lunch, dinner, or a cocktail soon.

on Citysearch Jun 11, 2008The ambiance was great. However, the food items were nothing special. The steak was rubbery. Definitely recommended if you're going for drinks and appetizers, but definitely not recommended for dinner.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2007I would not recommend choosing this restaurant over many of the others that cost about the same - this is after all, an expensive restaurant. If a couple wants to have appetizers, drinks, desert, etc. - then you can bet... (more)
