“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every time!“

“Food is always excellent here. Taste amazing, high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation. One thing about this experience is that when the staff was closing up.. I don't know if they turned off the AC or closed the doors but it got really HOT. And it kind of made me feel like they did it on purpose so that people can leave. I declined dessert, which is my fave, only because it was so friggin hot. But otherwise, dinner was great.“

“Outstanding service from the time we stepped in the door. Tess our server was very knowledgeable and we loved her wine pairing suggestions.
The food is also outstanding! All three of in our party lived our dishes, especially all the varieties of tin fish. I had the best Dover Sole ever! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“Valentine's Day preset menu was delicious. Service was very slow from checking in to getting our waiter to the table to take our order and finally take our payment. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed. Convenient Valet parking. It was our first time visiting Dear Jane, so we'll have to give it another try during not too busy time.“

“This is a high-quality seafood market and restaurant in Santa Monica. They also carry a small selection of vegetables, seasonings, and flowers. The variety of fish, clams, other seafood, and deli items is impressive, and everything is always fresh. The deli items, such as calamari salad, Hawaiian ahi poke, and pickled herring, are especially recommended.

The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are very attentive.
Don’t miss this spot if you’re in the mood for great seafood.“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

“Fantastic sushi for a great price, hence the queue! Luckily the line moves quickly. I would first go to the shelves to grab some rolls, then take a number for the fresh sashimi before jumping in line to pay.

Limited seating outside so also consider having a friend grab a table while you collect all your sushi bits 🐟“

“Absolutely fantastic place! Food is delicious. Taste festival in each dish. Seafood super fresh! Im in Europe cant find anything like Marocan Goddess 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Love you guys! The best recommendations ❤️❤️ This spot is a must visit if youre in LA. Also super close to LAX“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“I come here once a year and it’s always incredible. The service is amazing & they always remember us somehow! We’ve had the same waiter each time!

Food is great & consistent and the ambiance is amazing. We’re from NYC but take a yearly trip to LA. This is a go to every time.

Caesar salad, Tomahawk, Mac n cheese, their break & butter 🙏“

“Excellent service, amazing lobster 🦞 with crab rice. I just wish I was given the prices before agreeing on the upgrade. I ordered a family for 2 and CJ server offered to make it 3ppl. I was kinda surprised with my bills and how the restaurant dictate the gratuity %….Overall, I love dining in this restaurant because we were welcome and were given a great and warm reception. Thank you to the staff who made us feel special especially to CJ she was amazing. Indeed, the most expensive meal I have eaten lol it’s worth it.“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Fastest food ive ever had, george was incredibly helpful, patient, efficient, and professional. We came 10 mins before closing and they accomodated us perfectly

Their food is incredibly well spiced and balanced and their agua frescas are amazing“

“I never really liked lobster rolls before, but my husband convinced me to come here and try it. Honestly, it was the best decision! This lobster roll completely changed my opinion — it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and so flavorful. Now I finally understand why people love lobster rolls. Highly recommend this place!“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“I loved the service and the food. The atmosphere is nice too. We were seated near the band as requested by my friends and it was a little hard to hear them speaking. The band was excellent and over all we had a beautiful time. I suggest that if you decide to go there check the online menu first. I had the salmon and it was heavenly along with the chocolate cake and nice and cheesy Au graten potatoes. You absolutely will not be disappointed when you go trust me.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“What a brilliant restaurant. Truly unique. Food was exceptional, but the service was even better. So helpful and considerate. Gemma and I were even gave us tips for other places to visit. The food was unreal. Especially recommend the dumplings, pork chops and the scallop and shrimp ceviche. We would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Fantastic“

“This is one of our favorite places to enjoy a beer, glass of wine, and unpretentious but tasty food. They did also get their liquor license recently, but I’m so used to my regular beer/wine orders that I haven’t had anything else yet.
The staff is always on point, even at their busiest.“

“Excellent service great ambience ‘ they also have the amazing tequila card with a variety of tequilas . P“

“An extremely lively and trendy lounge-type of restaurant on the Venice/Santa Monica border very close to the water. It is actually a block away from the beach. At night they move the tables and the DJ booth turns on and it turns into a mini nightclub and most of the patrons we saw were they to pick up champagne to share and drink on site, the food here seemed an afterthought. The crowd here is very young, most people are in their 20s. You’ll probably be one of the older ones if you are in your mid 30s like myself. It’s also very loud and it’s more a place to go with friends or a date, it’s not really a foodie destination, it’s more of a lively place to spend the evening. Parking is honestly really hard in this area so we took a Waymo because we live a mile away. Aside from that you’ll most likely need to pay for parking. Our waitress was very polite, but our food items arrived pretty slowly.

I started off with the Chicory Salad. I thought it was pretty nice, it was really nice and light start, a perfect salad for spring. For my entree I chose the Burger with a side of Broccolini because I had heard a lot about it. It was very good but not one of the best burgers I’ve had in this part of town. I would say this is a great spot to bring a date, but it’s not really somewhere that is food focused, more a place to drink and order some items if you’re hungry.“

“the service was spectacular. really fun group of servers... food = excellent - exception: chicken appetizer a little greasy/ excessively fried but everything else: salmon, hamachi, avocado fries, duck tacos, etc. was great. a little too loud at first due to boisterous group in the bar right next to our table. acoustics are not great for conversation when the bar is hopping. this is my second time and I will come back.“

“All the above! Love the ol Duke's BU!!“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“The best Yemeni restaurant in USA I believe. Has the taste and smile of authentic Yemeni dishes. I highly recommend to any one visiting LA ..“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“A nice small family owned seafood shop. Also they have an amazing lobster roll deal. $25 for two lobster rolls ,chips and a drink“

“Had an incredible experience this evening at BOA. Mr. Ousley seated our party in the best seats! My server Mark was outstanding and his service was spot on. Clay and his whole team were On Point. The whole vibe and atmosphere was just perfect. I think I just had the best steak of my life right here in Santa Monica.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Omg yum yum & YUM!!!
delicious authentic fantastic Indian restaurant! First time here and yes we will be back! Veggie korma incredible and so was the Chicken Tikka Masala! & tandoori the best! Really excellent fresh and satisfying!“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“
