Established since 2007, this well-positioned Santa Monica tapas and wine bar offers a proven concept with strong neighborhood demand and a competitive niche in an affluent, high-traffic trade area. It is currently generating approximately $5,000 per month in owner benefit with an absentee owner, and presents significant room for growth through hands-on management and operational upgrades.

This is a confidential, turnkey offering with a fully built-out restaurant. Included in the sale: all kitchen equipment necessary to fully operate (in great condition), all POS/computer systems, smallwares and supplies, storage shelving and furniture, and other operational fixtures required for day-to-day service. A buyer can step in and operate with minimal downtime.

The business is ideal for an owner-operator or hospitality group looking to acquire a stable base and immediately improve performance. Growth upside includes expanding operating hours (lunch and late-night), increasing weekend volume, adding private events and tasting dinners, growing catering and corporate orders, optimizing online ordering and delivery, and building repeat traffic through reservations, email/SMS, and loyalty offers. With more active ownership and tighter cost controls, there is clear potential to increase profitability.

Reason for sale: owner relocated out of state and is no longer able to manage day-to-day operations locally.

Confidentiality: Do not contact staff or visit the location without an appointment. Buyer must sign an NDA and provide proof of funds or lender prequalification prior to receiving full financials, lease details, and the business name/address.
