6. Fort Oak

4.9

Exceptional(433)

$$$$Price: Very Expensive

• Contemporary American • Mission Hills

Booked 29 times today

An ode to fire and sea, Fort Oak delivers the bold, wood-fired flavors that define Chef Brad Wise’s signature style. Centered around a live-fire hearth, the restaurant offers elevated yet approachable dishes alongside a refined seafood and raw bar. Smoke is the through line - simple, high-quality ingredients are transformed by flame into plates full of depth and character. Dry-aged ribeyes, duck, and whole branzino showcase the hearth’s intensity, while freshly shucked oysters and seafood towers bring a raw, briny counterpoint. And while the meats and seafood command attention, the vegetables have earned a reputation of their own - charred, caramelized, and layered with surprising complexity. Some say they steal the show - but that’s up to you to decide.

We were already fans of Deckman’s from our years of exploring the Valle. This was our first experience at 31ThirtyOne, and it was exceptional. Every dish was unbelievably fresh (when was the last time you marveled at peas?), perfectly executed, and so fun to eat. Lovely service. Truly an outstanding and memorable experience. Bring good friends and share everything.
