Wife and the Somm’s Post Tax Day Relief prix-fixe runs May 1–9 in Glassell Park. Three courses, $55, with sommelier wine pairings. Reserve now.
The receipts are filed. The extensions are submitted. And somewhere in Glassell Park, a kitchen is already prepping pea tendrils, Hokkaido scallops, and Black Hawk Farms Wagyu for the best reason imaginable: you made it through another tax season, and you deserve a real meal.
Wife and the Somm — the Northeast LA gem where Chef Frank Ryan Saporito’s seasonal cooking meets one of the city’s most thoughtfully curated wine programs — is marking the occasion with a limited-time “Post Tax Day Relief” Three-Course Prix-Fixe Dinner Menu, available May 1 through May 9, 2026. At $55 per person, it is the most satisfying number you will write down all spring.
A Menu Built for the Moment
Three courses. Two choices per course. Every single option earns its place on the table.
The first course opens with a Pea Tendril Salad — blanched pea pods, roasted garlic dressing, toasted pistachio butter — or a Roasted Beet Salad with whipped burrata, toasted almonds, and wild arugula.
The pistachio butter on those pea tendrils is the kind of detail that makes you slow down and actually taste spring — grassy, rich, and gentle all at once. The beet salad, with its cloud of whipped burrata, is the one you’ll want to photograph before you eat it. Do both. Split the table.
The second course is where the kitchen shows what it can do.
A Bluefin Tuna Tartare arrives with braised and crispy salsify, green goddess, onion ash, and wildflowers — elegant, composed, and visually stunning.
But the Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi in miso-dashi broth with candied apricot, toasted sesame, and togarashi is the dish that will have the whole table leaning in for a taste.
That broth is warm, savory, and just sweet enough from the apricot to make the togarashi’s gentle heat feel like a conversation rather than a confrontation. It is the kind of bowl that makes a Tuesday feel like a celebration — which, right now, it absolutely is.
Third course:
choose between a Pan Seared Barramundi with scallion soubise, parsley pistou, orange oil, and crispy shoestring potatoes, or the Black Hawk Farms Wagyu Top Sirloin with roasted Fungi Valley mushrooms and sumac cultured butter.
That sumac butter on the Wagyu is bright and herbaceous against the richness of the beef — the kind of pairing that makes you understand why Saporito chose it. The barramundi, crisped perfectly and set in that bright, herb-forward pistou, is a plate that feels like California at its very best.
