"Eat local, drink global" is the mantra at Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant, a loungey SoMa vino venue run by Ola Fendert and Maria Hilario-Fendert (Oola), showcasing a regionally sourced Californian-Mediterranean menu designed with partner-and-sommelier Mark Bright’s (ex Michael Mina) wine list in mind; its ’70s-mod setting boasts a long communal table and an adjacent wine shop.
