50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Monica

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“What a hidden gem in Santa Monica! The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. They serve some of the most authentic Korean and Japanese dishes I’ve had in the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, and everything was spotless. I came with my husband and our 4-year-old, and we all had a wonderful experience. 💕 The Calamari Fries were definitely the highlight for me. Highly recommend!“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Stopped by for dinner to check out the place. We are having an event there in a few weeks. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Food was wonderful, service was perfect, management went out of their way to be gracious and welcoming. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.“

“Alex was super helpful with two large orders I had. The bread is absolutely fantastic and my clients raved about the quality.

I also just have to say, people complaining about prices and leaving one star reviews is WILD. Don’t like the prices? Don’t shop but don’t leave one star reviews…sheesh.“

“Always a great experience and meal at Orto, strongly recommended!“

“Great food and service. This place never disappoints.“

“Went here for Easter brunch and was surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before. The food was great! I ordered the steak and eggs and while my steak wasn’t a perfect medium rare, the flavor and portion size made up for that immensely. The cocktails were delightful as well! Pricing was as expected for the area and quality. We were seated outside in a makeshift patio in the parking lot, but it was well done and the service was quick and attentive. Next time I would probably try to eat inside or in the smaller patio by the entrance, where the vibes and decor are beautifully done. There is ample free parking in the back as well. I will be back!“

“I have had many souffle in my life , I personally travel around the world trying the best of the best souffle . This far is the best I have ever had !“

“Loved the cozy environment especially in the patio area . Food was great! The potato cakes with apples was amazing . Our group of 9 loved all of the food ! Would recommend to others“

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

“My fiancée and I are fortunate enough to live a short walk away from Yagul and can’t get enough of it! Authentic and delicious Oaxacan food/drink (you literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu) and the most wonderful and warm staff you’ll find in all of West LA. One of the true gems in our community.“

“The new manager at the ocean park location was so nice to us today - she helped pick up stuff we dropped and checked in to make sure we were happy with everything and just generally had top notch hospitality.

I got 4 half orders and the salmon was a DREAM and the strawberry nectarine with honey was a close second. YUM!“

“The food is high quality, and the service is of even higher quality. The owner very obviously cares about his product and reputation and taking good care of his customers, and you can tell he is 100% genuine. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and I will come here each time I'm in Santa Monica from now on.“

“Great place and a fun place to be“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“absolutely delicious burgers and sauce. the customer service and people working there where really nice and great people“

“They are by far the best steak I have ever had. We went there on a whim and they were booked but found a cute table for us by the fire. It was the most memorable meal with my husband. We are eternally grateful for the experience and service we received.“

“Amazing Japanese restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and very inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. Everything we tried was fresh and well prepared. Definitely a place we would happily visit again and recommend to anyone looking for great Japanese food.“

“Love this place, staff is friendly and owners too. coffee is great and I'm very picky about coffee! free Wi-Fi is nice too!“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“The self care breakfast was perfect if you enjoy the Mediterranean style breakfast. What makes a big difference is just the quality of the ingredients. The feta, olives, eggs, the olive oil. So good. It was taking a little while to get our food, and they so kindly just brought us a piece of cake which also was delicious! Would definitely be a regular customer here.“

“The food and service was awesome. The millionaire bacon is just the bees knees. My small gripe is that all the food leans more sweet than savory but it's literally called sweet maple. I'd lean straight into their sweet oriented food because it's soooo good.“

“Lovely family business. Great food & drinks, easy parking, inside & outside seating, affordable prices & totally relaxed & comfy athmosfere!“

“Good fare at a fair price...“

“I've been several times now, and it is still my favorite restaurant when I visit family in Santa Monica. I've tried many restaurants in SM, from inexpensive to expensive. For me, Library has the best combination of unique atmosphere, friendly and efficient service, lively but casual vibe, excellent food, and good value. I love the Cowboy Burger, but everything we've tried is good. And good beer too.“

“The food was really good. Big menu. The service was excellent. Our waitperson was friendly and knowledgeable. It looked like a fun neighborhood place. There was a bar (excellent drinks!), and tvs for watching sports. The only reason I gave 4 stars under atmosphere, was it was extremely loud in the place. Hard to talk to your table buddies and it was hard to hear the waiter. Otherwise it was a good place.“

“Great place for delicious breakfast, after a good brisk morning walk.
I had a fresh omelet, with mushrooms, onions and cheese. I added fresh toasted slices of sourdough bread and a cup of Americano coffee (stronger than regular coffee). Not a long wait, comfortable seating, attentive server, made it a complete pleasant meal.“

“Great food and even better service.“

“Best steak and service . Say hi to Hillary she is the best !!!“

“Fantastic food from the scallion pancake, seaweed and tofu salad, fried rice, sautéed broccoli, and the most stand out - the Dan mein noodles. All of this was a perfectly filling meal for two people.

The service is fantastic and Mason was the best server we could ask for. So friendly, helpful, and kind.

Worth a stop in if you’re in the area. They get pretty busy at peak times so worth coming a little before or after the main lunch and dinner rushes.“

“I would give via Venetto five stars based on their delicious food alone, but unfortunately it took forever to get served. I realize it was a Saturday night and they were busy, but it took quite a bit longer than it should have. The food is top-notch- and I'm super picky especially about Italian food. “

“One of my favorite date night places with my boyfriend. A good mix of fancy and casual imo. We always try different drinks but our go-to food are Chilli Bear, Home-made Hummus Duo, & Figgin' Burrata.

Everyone here is nice and haven't experienced anything negative. I always look forward to coming back🥰“

“Great service and great food ! The chicken and waffles are the best and the Nutella waffles to die for!“

“Delicioso!!!!! Muy recomendado“

“Had the Thai bowl... YUM!“

“Great new neighborhood spot! The food is healthy and delicious. Lots of variety on the menu so everyone should have a few excellent choices!“

“😍😍 😍pretty Tasty Pizza😍😍😍“

“The best breakfast spot we found! Just a short walk from the beach, with delicious, fresh food and very reasonable prices for the quality.
The service was amazing—so warm, friendly, and welcoming. Very child-friendly too! My kids are still talking about the babyccino and keep asking for it. 😊
Can't wait to come back! ❤️☕️🌴
PS. Loved their lavender latte“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“I absolutely love this place! I've tried several birria places but all have been inconsistent when it comes to the taste and service. Although I have to travel around 30 minutes to get here, I can always count on consistency and the delish food! There birria tacos and quesatacos with consume are my favorites. Two thumbs up!“

“The experience was amazing at Sugar Palm. The server, Alfred, was so sweet and gave us great recommendations! The steak frites were to die for but if you like more of a lighter meal, definitely try the seared ahi tuna. It was so fresh and the sauce was incredible. Their pineapple margarita was also VERY delicious! You won’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“Fabulous hyper-farm-to-table food by a creative chef, on Main St in Santa Monica. I’ve tried the Gazpacho, the many Danish Rye toasts with what is fresh that day: eggs, salmon roe, avocado or ....? They also have baristas that make all type of drinks. My fab place to indulge healthy and fresh“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“The attendant was friendly ! Turkey sandwich and the hot chocolate were amazing ! Definitely recommend !“

“The quality of the sushi was excellent. Every item me and my sibling ordered was on point, everything. The lobster rolls and volcano rolls were delicious. Additionally ordered cucumber salad which simply was an added benefits to clean the palate after every bite. Overall an excellent late lunch with quality food! My only criticism would be the fruit flies around the table, yet that’s easy to take care of. 😎“

“Excellent High Tea on Montana Avenue. Great owner and staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Delicious teas and food. A jewel on our neighborhood! Highly recommended.“
