Description

Summary: A larger site for a beloved wine bar with biodynamic wines, rustic furniture, and a cozy courtyard.

A.O.C. expands to a larger space that maintains the intimate vibe while offering a broad wine list focused on biodynamic and organic options. The layout features a long communal table dividing the bar from the main dining room, plus an upstairs area that overlooks a brick patio lined with olive trees. Expect rustic furniture, a courtyard atmosphere, and a menu of small plates and shareable fare that emphasizes produce and flavor. The space blends Californian and European wine sensibilities with a relaxed, wine‑centric dining experience.
