This Napa Valley Institution Is Coming to Downtown Santa Monica

Gott’s Roadside , a Napa Valley staple, is coming to Downtown Santa Monica . An opening date and location is still under wraps. “Gott’s looks forward to opening in L.A. next year, but specifics are confidential at this time,” shares a representative for the business.

Gott’s – originally known as Taylor’s Automatic Refresher – was founded by brothers Joel and Duncan Gott in St. Helena in 1999. The establishment is recognized as a James Beard America’s Classic and is known for its modern approach to California-inspired dishes.

Menu items include the California Burger with a fried egg, Zoe’s bacon, and balsamic onions; Ahi Poke Crispy Tacos with sushi grade Ahi tuna; Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich with harissa and turmeric spiced mayos; Chicken Kale Caesar; and hand-spun organic shakes.

Gott’s is committed to sourcing its ingredients and offerings from local vendors, and includes a California-centric list of wines and beers. It currently has eight open locations throughout California.
