Chez Mar is the latest Mar Vista restaurant to surface in CurationsLA's review of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control filings. The daily export supplied to CurationsLA lists CHEZ MAR under file number 681430 at 12222 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, 90066, with CHEZMAR LLC named as the primary name.

The filing is the news hook, not a license-status claim. The restaurant's live site identifies the address as a So-Cal bistro and raw bar, while [The Infatuation's listing](https://www.theinfatuation.com/los-angeles/reviews/chez-mar) describes a petite Mar Vista restaurant connected to the former chef of Dudley Market.

## The Filing

Chez Mar sits at file number 681430 in the supplied daily export. The largest file number in that export is 681433, placing the Chez Mar entry among the newest records in the file. The row lists the premises as 12222 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90066, and names CHEZMAR LLC as the primary name.

The export does not include a license type or status for this row, so this story does not characterize the filing as an approval, an active license, or a completed opening.

## At a Glance

- **WHERE:** 12222 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90066
- **ABC FILE:** 681430
- **CONCEPT:** So-Cal bistro and raw bar
- **WEB:** [https://www.chezmar.com](https://www.chezmar.com/)

## What Chez Mar Is

Chez Mar's own site calls the restaurant a So-Cal bistro and raw bar in the heart of Mar Vista, with a market-driven menu supporting local and sustainable farms, spinning vinyl, and Sunday specials.

Published menu information lists local Pacific oysters, seared local fish with seasonal vegetables and herb butter, and house-made Parisian gnocchi with sage brown butter and Parmesan. The restaurant's website is [chezmar.com](https://www.chezmar.com/), and the current public Instagram account is [@chezmar.vista](https://www.instagram.com/chezmar.vista/).

## Curator's Note

The useful distinction here is between a filing and a finished restaurant story. Chez Mar is already presenting a clear point of view: market-driven California cooking, French technique, oysters, and records in Mar Vista. The ABC entry gives us a timely public-record hook, while the restaurant's own site and current coverage give the reader enough context to know what is actually there.
