Delicious breakfast food, and good portions, the burrito was delicious, also the pancakes were very yummy and not heavy. Sides were larger size than expected.
Excellent ingredients and service. Can't go wrong here.

Brightside California Kitchen is a bright, airy, and welcoming restaurant located just a block from Santa Monica Beach. It offers a modern cafe vibe with great views of the busy streets outside. The food is highly praised, with breakfast items like scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast prepared perfectly and made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant also serves other dishes such as herb roasted half chicken and steak sandwiches, which are described as delicious and of high quality. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff paying close attention to guests and ensuring a pleasant experience. Management is professional, with a noticeable presence that helps the restaurant run smoothly. However, some guests found the atmosphere a bit too hot inside, possibly due to the lack of air conditioning, and noted that service can be slow at times. The restaurant is somewhat expensive, with a few feeling the prices for small items like yogurts and bottled water were high. Overall, Brightside offers excellent food and a welcoming environment, making it a highly recommended spot for breakfast and casual dining in Santa Monica.
