“We had a very nice experience here. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was great, and the food was enjoyable. We ordered shrimp for the main course, and it was tasty and well prepared. The drinks were also very good and added to the meal. Everything felt comfortable and welcoming from beginning to end. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, and we were very satisfied with our visit. We would definitely come back again and recommend this place to others.“

“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!“

“The food was very good. I dined solo and had chicken liver mousse, the yellowtail crudo, the peach and tomato burrata salad, and the crab cake. The mousse was rich and interestingly paired with pickled blackberries and honeycomb. The crudo was delicious with the refreshing citrus. The salad too felt very fresh and like I was holding on to late summer. The crab cake was good, the sauce had a nice balance of spice and sweetness, it was very salty which is not unexpected with crab. The service was kind and attentive. I was very pleased with my experience and would return again if I'm back in Santa Monica.“

“Saltie Girl is still top 5 in LA. Always relaxed, very inviting, the courses were served timely. Oysters were delicious, love their mignonette, crudo full of flavor with a hint of spice, and caviar service unmatched. Love coming here for a mid-day wkd Spritz. Our server was very kind, friendly, and checked in on us attentively. I know every time I come here is always a positive experience.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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…“

“The sushi here is amazing for the price!! And the katsu chicken was also so delicious !! I would suggest checking out yama!! The reason why I gave it a 4 stars and not a 5 star is because the space is super small, and it does get overwhelming! I had a rude experience with a customer, they don’t know how to say excuse me lol. (I got the Cali roll with the salmon avocado roll!) I also asked for eel sauce:)!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. The service on the other hand needs improvement One in our party of 4 had their drink served 20 min after the rest. It was a martini but came with no olives when olives were asked for. It seemed the waiter had too many tables and the lack of good service really distracted from the overall dining experience“

“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“

“Seafood quality is better than supermarket quality, and of course this means you’ll pay more for it. The cafe food is great but very pricey coming from someone visiting from out of state. We got the poke bowl, the calamari and clam chowder, the lobster roll, and the Dungeness crab pasta. There is also a good selection of alcohol and Asian sauces as well as vegetables.“

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

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

“Great service and the food is very good highly recommended“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. First and foremost, our server Jose gave us the best service we’ve ever had. All his recommendations were SPOT ON and he went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration feel SO special. Then to top it off, the food was phenomenal. Boa is a MUST TRY“

“We accidentally found this place, and it turned out to be such a wonderful surprise! The sea bass fillet was absolutely delicious—the fish itself was perfectly cooked, and the garnish complemented it beautifully, even though it included fried onions, which I normally wouldn’t expect to pair so well with fish.
I highly recommend this place from the bottom of my heart! ❤“

“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.“

“Literally everything we ordered was a 5/5.

Tuna tostada
Surf clam ceviche
Yuca
Roasted veggies (sleeper hit, this was actually the crowd fav I think)
Sea bass carpaccio
Kanpachi en banana leaf
Sticky toffee pudding“

“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.“

“The first time I ever had a lobster roll was here. I AM GLAD it was here. Maybe it was just the bartenders turn at the music I dont know. They were playing mid 90's 2000's rock the whole time, banger after banger! I was looking for a quiet place to eat, but this place took me by surprise so I stayed. The Lobster roll was amazing, warm and Buttery. NOT CHEWY! Beer selection was awesome too. You gotta try the crab and jalapeen dip, also the calamari was delicious. I will be coming back! If you want the dive bar feel with fun employees this is the 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.“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“Great food and would have been a wonderful dining experience. However, our initial experience upon arrival was not very welcoming. The hostess explained that we coukd be seated and served only in the bar area at one of the hi tables or the bar itself as we did not have reservations. We of course said, great no problem. Upon sitting at a hi table a server approached saying that we couldn't sit there without the hostess' approval, at which time we explained that she had done so. He refused to let it go, continued to argue with us about server assignments etc. Then he just walked away to go discuss with the hostess, who in turn came to explain weird situation and tell us that it was fine to remain at this table. The rude server continued to display attitude and disdain throughout our meal. Our main server Peter (?) Was actually very professional and attentive.“

“I’ve been wanting to check this place out for years. It was absolutely worth it. The staff were warm and welcoming, and took the time to explain the wines and dishes in depth, despite an absolutely packed house.

If you have to wait for a table, consider yourself lucky. Getting to hang out with other patrons with a view of the sunset, enjoying the chatter and ambiance and cozy lighting — it was spectacular. I’ve only felt a street scene so neighborly and welcoming like this in Europe! They really do an excellent job with the outdoor eating and drinking.

The wine options are great. The dishes memorable and inventive. I know I’ll be coming back and bringing others along. Thanks for a good night, Dudley.“

“friendly place great food and good price“

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

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

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

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“High quality eatery with chill casual beachy vibe in El Segundo with other beachside locations nearby. Classic hole in the wall with outstanding specials including fish tacos that absolutely rock at a fair price (especially on Wednesday when they offer a $3.00 per fish taco special that can'tbe beat) Worth the drive...and close to LAX. Great staff always going above and beyond to make customers happy. 2 thumbs all the way up.“

“Great lobster roll and even though the margarita is agave wine rather than tequila, very tasty! Highly recommend“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“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.“

“Best steak and service . Say hi to Hillary she is the best !!!“

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

“Great food and fabulous cocktails“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“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!“

“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 ..“

“Great food and service. Shout out to Jessica at the Gilbert/Mesa Arizona location.“

“This is a beautifully decord Indian restaurant, tremendous menu with a warm, youthful family vibe. You will be met with the most fragrant delightful smells emanating from the kitchen as you enter and be surrounded by beautiful seating aggrangments fit for a special or romantic night out. The food, oh my, served authentically in traditional pots is so delicious you will pause to take the flavors all in. We go often, I must always order Saag Paneer, unbelievable, and we try all the various Biryani which are amazing. Last night had Chicken Vindaloo with garlic naan - just melts in your mouth. The staff, it is family owned and everyone is absolutely kind and helpful. A very large menu of Indian traditional meals, very reasonably priced and the food fressness stairs you right in the face. We randomly found this place one night and we have been back at least once or twice per week since. This wonderful restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall off Ventura Blvd with ample parking ( and handicap) right in front. Opened until 10pm, it is a great place for a special meal but is a very casual environment. I've been eating Indian food all my life and this is by far the best you will ever find! And believe me, the family that built this business are very proud of their food.“

“Everything here is SO authentically Indonesian! I loved it! 🤩👍🏻💯“

“Brilliant service high class dining and very high quality food …“

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“

“Gorgeous restaurant! Aesthetically very beautiful and the food delivered!! We got the oxtail bao, crispy rice, Leona sushi roll, the fusion baked sushi roll with carbonara sauce, and cocktails! This place is the must in the valley! The outdoor patio is also stunning!! we will definitely be back“

“Nice for fine dinning! One block away from Rodeo Dr!“

“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.“
