Our Story

From the chef and owner of Thyme Café & Market, Maire Byrne has opened her second restaurant, Local Kitchen + Wine Bar, a casual neighborhood dining experience in Santa Monica featuring seasonal plates, wood fired Neapolitan style pizza, small producer boutique wines and handcrafted cocktails.

The menu takes a modern approach to fresh, locally sourced ingredients and seasonal farmer’s market produce. The wood burning pizza oven is the focal point of the convivial bar & restaurant.

I have always felt that the simple act of bringing people together to enjoy beautiful food grown, raised and prepared with love is the most sincere act of sharing and showing someone that you care —Maire Byrne.
