the environment, food and service were exceptional....waitress Gina was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It is expensive, but worth the money. Excellent Treat! PS: Bartender made our drinks perfectly!

We had a late lunch and enjoyed the reasonably priced "executive lunch", being 3 courses for $24 plus tax. Lacked atmosphere and it seemed they were turning people away, when it was effectively empty. The price of the "turf" was over the top

Lovely view of the ocean in an upscale restaurant. Steak with bleu cheese rub is outstanding - guest had the filet mignon and the mac and cheese was a fun surprise, well presented in a calm, pleasant atmosphere which is perfect in keeping with a sunset-at-the-beach theme. Expansive wine list to choose from. A bit busy on the weekend but... More

I had the tuna cooked my way along with the asparagus, corn and mashed potatoes. It was so yummy. They also have a fun drink selection. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Monica. Be sure and make reservations or arrive when they open for good seating.

We had heard alot about this restaurant on our travels to Santa Monica so we offloaded the kids for the night and booked a table here as a special treat. This is a larger than life, funky, chic place to eat and very busy. Getting a table wasn't a problem being that it was a Wednesday night, and its a... More

Each visit to this area,(5) I make it a must stop. I have never been disappointed in my meal nor have I had any family member say their food was not what they expected. The staff is knowledgable and attentive.

Walked in, no booking. The joint was jumping. Got seated quickly. Emily served us cold coronas very quickly and recommend several options from the menu. The Caesar salad was made at out table, all the wait staff were very friendly and professional. We ordered the New York cut 40 day old steak medium rare and the rib eye. Both exceptionally... More

Tasteless! Nice staff, great spot but the steaks have no flavor. I ate my meal and was left feeling like I had just eaten a meal with great packaging but no substance. Hopefully they will buy better beef, and better veggies to do what a restaurant is supposed to do.... Food!!
