An absolutely wonderful dining experience at Orla by Michael Mina! Everything was exceptional, from the food and presentation to the service and overall atmosphere.

We had the lamb chops and the snapper, and both were outstanding… beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And whatever you do, save room for dessert! The Baklava Sundae was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to cap off the meal.

Orla is definitely worth a visit, and I highly recommend it!
Dinner here was exceptional. The food was absolutely superb. Servers and busboys were particularly attentive.

Breakfast was delicious as well, but, well, just obscenely overpriced. Waitstaff is always friendly and professional, but looks overworked or not getting enough traffic for obvious reasons.

Atmosphere is elegant and beautiful overlooking the beach. Definitely not to be missed if you're staying at the Regent or in Santa Monica.
Chef Mina’s restaurant didn’t exactly disappoint. The lamb pops were a standout with the date Lebneh even though the lamb was a bit overcooked. The Greek salad didn’t have any lettuce but I actually enjoyed it as something different and having the sweetness of heirloom tomatoes. The snapper was crispy outside and the parsley sauce on top was a winner but I needed more. Lunch was almost empty and I had to ask for lemon twice. At a high end restaurant you expect...read full review
