The oyster choices was amazing. Out server was so good and accommodating cuz we need to split all our bills and split the drinks for office reasons. All the food we order was on point and the drinks was amazing. Next to the beach and we went to chill after wards. Nothing bad to speak about the place. Would recommend to anyone.
Food and atmosphere were both exceptional. Brenda was our server and she was very attentive and professional. Would recommend to anyone looking for good quality seafood! Chilean Sea Bass and the Scallops were seared and cooked perfectly.
My wife and I were staying in a hotel in Santa Monica on July 4th, 2024 and we were looking for a good seafood restaurant. I found this place on Google and saw it had over 2000 really good reviews and the concierge at our hotel also recommended it, so I made a reservation and we tried it. When we arrived, the place was packed and there was a line of people waiting to be seated. We were seated within 5 minutes after letting them know we had a reservation. Andre was our server and the guy was excellent. We asked about some of the items on the menu and he answered all our questions. We started out with the Spanish Octopus and a few Margarita’s. The Octopus was fantastic, but be aware, you are only going to get one arm of the octopus which is common in every restaurant. After I took one bite, I wished there were 8 arms on that plate! The Chilean sea bass was hands down the best we have ever had and the portion size was great. This place is on the higher end and the bill reflects that, but we didn’t have a single complaint about this restaurant, the food or the staff. The bill was $194 before tip for two of us. We would definitely dine here again if in the area. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good seafood. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and seemed very happy to be working there.
We had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! The food was simply outstanding, with every dish bursting with rich and delicious flavors. The environment was equally impressive, offering a warm and inviting ambiance that made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food in a lovely setting!
We stopped over for quick lunch at this brasserie and were met with friendly staff. Nice they had a valet, had to pay with card though separate from the bill of the restaurant. We were seated outside at the terrace as there was some sunshine which was nice. Great menu with plenty of enough choice for seafood dishes. We had the swordfish tapenade which was seared correctly with good taste. A bit of an awkward way to find the restrooms outside the restaurant in a common part of the building with an access code.
