From the phone call for information about parking and walking to the pier for Cirque du Soleil to the table on the sand, everything was exquisite! Love this place!

A singular experience. Right on the sand. Fresh groceries as a baseline, well cooked and served with pleasant attentiveness. Not fancy. Not fine dining just a good solid menu with fresh ingredients in an epic location. New cocktail menu. Love it here.

My niece and I completed the Santa Monica/Venice Holiday 10K and then treated ourselves to a wonderful breakfast. The food was delicious, the service splendid and I will definitely be back!

Quaint atmosphere, decent pricing, attentive staff, and of course, great view. There are nearby parking options that are pay to park. Consider going early or be aware that you may have to park and walk just a little bit. also consider attire as outside the floor is sand so it’s a great option to have some thing you can take off so you can feel the sand between your toes.
BUT…People watching platform is on point.
Now for the food…I had the Huevos Rancheros, which unfortunately I do not have a picture of because I inhaled it. It came out hot delivered straight from the kitchen. it had a crunch, a kick and nice creamy sauce along with a whole lot of flavor. I did however capture a glimpse of my slightly watered-down Bloody Mary, which is not how it came, but was because I was not as attentive to it as the staff was of me. My waiter “Eric” did an excellent job attending to multiple tables with a smile on his face- Great attitude.
A variety of foods that would meet most pallets from breakfast to lunch and dinner. Great stop to take it all in. ??????

The restaurant is in a great spot on the beach with tons of stuff to do and see around it and the Santa Monica pier is very close by so it makes for a great day trip but the restaurant itself did not provide very great service and the wait times to be sat and to get our drink and food took a long time, the food not bad however I wish the timeliness was a bit better.

Location is great. Sunsets here are beautiful to watch with a cold drink.

But wait is waaaaay too long and prices are for the view. Not quality.

The wait in big part is because people running are inefficient and slow.

Back on the Beach Cafe is a great spot with amazing beach views! The food is fresh and tasty, and the relaxed vibe makes it a perfect place to unwind. Service can be slow during peak times, but overall a solid choice for a beachside meal!
