The Misfit

The Misfit, (225 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, 90401; 310.656.9800) opens Thursday in Santa Monica. Decorated with dark corners, a hidden rear balcony and curtains parting over a towering bar, this place is serving up breakfast to lunches to cocktails. Enjoy Mr. Espresso coffee, organic Eggs in the Hole, Grass-Fed Pot Roast or the Misfit Burger, with cheddar and arugula on multigrain toast. Or if it’s just the booze you’re going for, order up a bowl of punch or a signature Misfit Cocktail—it’s gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino and bitters. They also have vegan friendly fare, so all are welcome to hide out here.
