Scratch Bar & Kitchen

Scratch Bar & Kitchen in Encino is a sophisticated culinary destination, helmed by the visionary Chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee.

The architect’s design approach beautifully marries contemporary aesthetics with an inviting, open environment, allowing guests to feel fully immersed in the dining experience. The open kitchen concept, where diners can watch the chefs create each dish with care and precision, is a key feature of the space.

The restaurant’s carefully curated wine list and impeccable service complete the experience, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a refined, yet dynamic dining experience.

Sushi by Scratch

Sushi by Scratch, also designed by Edward Osuch, reflects the same commitment to high-quality ingredients, exceptional craftsmanship, and an inviting atmosphere. The minimalist, modern design of the space enhances the exclusive nature of the omakase dining experience, where guests enjoy a curated sequence of sushi prepared by Chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee. Chef Phillip Frankland Lee’s creative twists on traditional sushi and Chef Margarita Kallas-Lee’s mastery of presentation combine to deliver a dining experience that’s as visually stunning as it is flavorful. The intimate space allows for personalized service, allowing guests to fully engage with the chefs and immerse themselves in the artistry of the meal. The architectural design, which exudes both elegance and comfort, further elevates the experience, making it a perfect setting for this elevated sushi concept.
