Nightshade, a pan-Asian homage to modern Angeleno cooking, is where Top Chef winner Mei Lin turns inspiration from travel into a unique menu that masterfully balances the five elements of taste. The space itself is very Jungalow-esque, with hanging plants, eclectic decor, and mid-century furniture upholstered in jade-green velvet. If you're into tropical flavors, don’t miss Lin's canned collaboration with Underwood Wines in the form of a spritz with lychee and rose. Other standouts include the signature scallops: served with a house-made coconut vinegar and cilantro broth, they're sweet, sour, and bright.
