Grilled Calamari
Caesar Salad

“Let me start with the food- incredible and very authentic. The appetizers I indulged in were the grilled calamari and carciofini (artichoke) salad. The salad is so flavorful and calamari grilled to perfection; the best I have had- tender and flavorful! The main course I had the fusilli nassa pasta which had little shrimps cooked in a red sauce that melts in your mouth. The Branzino with roasted potatoes and veggies were absolutely delicious. The linguine made with zucchini and topped with mouthwatering clams and porcini mushrooms was a fantastic alternative for those that cannot eat regular pasta (still an option). I recommend closing the meal out with a flavorful chocolate flourless cake or tiramisu desert! The service is impeccable as one of the Italian owner navigates through the busy tables making sure everyone's' needs are met. The Ambiance includes original artwork and perfect lighting for a night out with friends, family or a romantic interlude. It is truly a gem! A little slice of Italy nestled in Santa Monica Canyon.“

“Beef Shawerma and Vegetarian Mezze Platter were soooo good! Beef was super tender and flavorful. Rice well seasoned and delicious. Falafel amazing! Even though the baba ghanoush and hummus were side dishes in the platter, they were both standouts.I would happily return and highly recommend this place. Good for takeout. Just watch out about the parking situation, especially in the evenings; it's always a pain.Parking: It's a huge parking lot, but it's crazy to navigate because people double park and sit in the middle of an already tight passageway and don't care. Saw many close call accidents.“

“The food is exceptional. Chef Daniel, what can I say your hospitality was beyond words. Your recipes are clever and flavorful. You have to try the appetizer plate that you select and if they are on the menu these puffs with feta and spinach they were to die for. The beauty of the restaurant was also there. Great date place even on a rainy night in So Cal. However when it's not rainy the patio is lovely. Highly recommend. And !! The waiter Chris and waitress Ariel were so nice and attentive when needed and left us alone to talk the dinner away! Love this place.“

“A California Style Mediterranean Restaurant, the menu ingredients fuse Mediterranean Cuisine with Asian Cuisine. Happy Hour is the best time to go 50% off. My favorite dishes are the Southeast Asian inspired Beef Tartar with Tapioca Waffer, similar texture as a Chinese Shrimp Chip. The Branzino is the best entrée, Roasted crispy skin. Every few minutes you'll see Flaming Saganaki Served at a neighboring tables.“

“I love this place, have been coming here from before the pandemic to now as I am returning to Smc. And I will continue to support this establishment. Its small but hearty. The food is great and the customer service is welcoming and friendly.Parking: If youre a student at Smc, you can just walk it there. I do, I just park in the parking lot 3 of Smc. If you dont attend, then parking will be difficult as the lot is small and fills up quickly.Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp to go inside, but the restaurants dining area is a bit cramped.“

“Update: thank you for your reply yes you are right I asked for tzatziki sauce this time and it was delicious! Thank youI came to try chicken gyro specifically craving that taste of gyro with tzatziki sauce that should be in it since I tried many gyros in Greece I know the taste, but unfortunately they don’t put that sauce in the chicken one. Tasted like a regular sandwich“

“Crimson is one of my favorite restaurants on the Westside of LA! For the longest time I parked at the meters, but they have parking lot that's free!Highly recommend getting the Salmon, I never had Salmon that tender before. Also the tomato soup is delicious!!!It's counter service, so you need to pay and then they will give you a #...which I prefer if I'm dining with friends so we can all just take care of our own order!This is my go-to place for having a business meeting, it's a great atmosphere and also pretty affordable in a quaint neighborhood!“
