Lovely quiet patio that's a nice break from the tourist hubbub of Ocean Avenue. Food is solid -- we had octopus and a mezze platter with hummus and baba ganoush.

Don't ever go to this bar they make you drunk to take your money and when someone gets drunk they call the cops on you by the time you find out you will weak up in the Police station and when you put information on the review they send you message saying how was your stay in Hilton Pasadena to make fun of you that we distroy your reputation now I have to go see the judge I was told if the Judge is very nice to me will fine me 5000$ and I did try to call my friend that time but they turn on some kind of system so my phone can not work to make me more drunk and send me to Police station what the Latino Manager called it Hilton of Pasadena This never happened to me before I been to many bars in my 20 years in this country welcome to stanta Monica fun Place have good time.

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!

Food was late, cold, and wrong, and the service was worse. They said they were busy filming something.

We said we had dietary restrictions - No Salt - We were told that they were taking care of it… instead: The food was very salted The Lobster Catalana pasta had nothing to do with the real deal look at the picture. The Greek salad was with Avocado and green onion ..and bunch of salted greens Even the ice tea was blend
Dietary restrictions: We said we can’t have salt - the told us “Of course” and we got everything salted
Even in the salad I had grain of salt under my teeth..
The pasta was salted and since when a catalana is so creamy..

A hidden gem amongst the mid level findings of Santa Monica restaurants and lounges
We recently hosted a full buyout event at Mon Ami in Santa Monica, and once again, it was an absolute dream come true! This is our second year in a row working with them, and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience.
A special shoutout to Courtney, the event manager extraordinaire, who made every step seamless from start to finish. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to anticipate our needs were truly unmatched. Whether it was coordinating the perfect layout, curating a delicious menu, or ensuring our guests felt pampered and welcomed, she nailed it all. It’s rare to find someone as dedicated and easy to work with as Courtney – she’s a huge reason we returned to Mon Ami again this year!
The venue itself is elegant, with a warm ambiance that perfectly complements the beauty of Santa Monica. Our guests raved about the food, which was as impeccable in taste as it was in presentation. The staff was attentive and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the event.
If you’re looking for a place to host your next event, Mon Ami should be at the top of your list. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Courtney, you’ll be in the best hands possible. We can’t wait to plan with her again next year!
Thank you, Mon Ami and Courtney, for making this event truly unforgettable!

Watch out on DJ nights- our cocktails were $30 each after tax + hidden service fees, and they still presented the option to tip…. At 7%??? That was the red flag, asked to see the bill & found the hidden fees.
