“We had a meal at Mon Ami in Santa Monica with friends, and we had a great time. As French visitors, we really enjoyed the cocktails, which were excellent and beautifully crafted. The place is nicely decorated, warm, and welcoming. The staff was excellent – very friendly and professional. We ordered the tajine, which was good, but a bit simple in its preparation – a little disappointed with this dish that we know well. Overall, it's a place worth visiting if you're in Santa Monica!“

“Celebrated my boyfriends birthday at Orla! They greeted us with a birthday card and smile. It was so perfect. Our server made us feel like we were at home. The food was so delish. We ordered the saganaki to start. The honey sweet flavor made it is so deliciously different. The bread service is a must. I had the salmon and he has the lamb. It was all so tender and good. The view was perfect. We will definitely be back.“

“Me and my friends went to Calabra for sunset and had the best experience. Our server, Danil, was amazing. He went above and beyond, especially when one of us asked for a drink that wasn’t on the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and we loved the seafood tower. Overall, the service from the entire staff was excellent. Other servers checked in on us, cleared plates promptly, and brought the bill without delay. Danil’s attention and friendliness truly made our visit extra special. 🤩“

“This place is hands-down, my favorite Mediterranean in Los Angeles. And their customer service is some of the best around. The spices are exhilarating so much tangy freshness in each bite. I always get the lamb chops or lamb shanks and the Babaghanouj and hummus is so good that I get extra containers to bring home. And they use pure olive oil rather than canola and vegetable oil so it is very high quality. I can’t recommend this food or the staff enough. They really know how to handle customer service and take care of you. Kind people with good hearts.“
