“Samo Pizza absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming, the smell of fresh dough in the air, and the service? Next level.

Victor was very, very, VERY helpful — the kind of person who truly cares that you have a great experience. Whether it was helping us decide what to order or checking in with genuine hospitality, he made the visit feel personal.

Now let’s talk about the pizza… hands down some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly cooked, rich flavors, and just the right balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. You can tell they care about quality. Every bite had that “I need another slice” kind of magic.

On top of all that — the prices were totally fair. Great food at a good price? Can’t beat it.

Highly recommend SAMO Pizza to anyone who loves amazing food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!“

Shores Kitchen - Santa Monica Pho • $

“Hi I love this cafe - the food is healthy, tasty and wide-ranging in cuisines, and the people, Mimi and Justin, make it feel like another home. Mimi is a warm, consummate professional who can handle anything, events-wise, and the space is versatile for any kind of casual and convivial gathering. This place is one of my favorite “third spaces” for working when I need a change of environment from the home office (there are tables that overlook the pool), painting (I’m a huge fan of the paint and sip classes) or just hanging out. Neighbors can consider it a great resource for meals and snacks off the beach (and anytime), entertaining for occasions and even just to grab a bottle of wine or party-food supplies for friends who drop by. Highly recommend“

Okay just need to update. I've had the soup several times and each time it is served with delicious rye bread which I cannot have as I'm gluten-free. I mentioned that this time on my online order. Fromins countered with two large pieces of delicious gluten-free rye bread. So this now means I can have the sandwiches that I've been drooling over... Yay! Game changer.“

“We had perfect timing, with only one person ahead of us in line. My son ordered a cheese pizza for two, and he said it was good—though a bit pricey, it was still reasonable. The atmosphere was cool and casual, reminiscent of a deli. The restrooms were clean as well. There is free parking available, and it’s child-friendly, with high chairs provided.

I ordered the garlic pesto, which was delicious and well-seasoned. A standout surprise was the fountain drink selection; our favorite was the strawberry dragonfruit. I made a mix of lemonade and dragonfruit, which was fantastic!

This was my first time visiting Fresh Brothers, but I know it won’t be my last. #KeepGoingOAM“

Cafe at the Shores Sandwich Shop • $

“Nestled within the vibrant community of The Shores, The Cafe beckons with promises of culinary delights and warm hospitality. Intrigued by its reputation for fusion cuisine and cozy ambiance, I recently embarked on a gastronomic journey to uncover the treasures hidden within.I had the chance to try their new item Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl, I was immediately transported to a realm of savory bliss. The rich umami flavors of the kimchi mingled harmoniously with the hearty goodness of the fried rice, creating a symphony of tastes that danced upon my palate. Each forkful offered a delightful contrast of textures—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—and left me craving more with every bite. The addition of perfectly cooked vegetables added a refreshing touch, while the subtle heat of the kimchi provided a satisfying kick that lingered pleasantly on the tongue.“

We shared the Warm Spinach Salad with jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly!! This salad was delicious!

We also shared the Mushroom Ravioli in the mushroom sauce. This too, was out of this world tasty!

For dessert, we shared the Apple Tart with a dollup of whip cream. This was a slice of heaven

Service was good.
I will definitely return to Rosti Tuscan Kitchen again.

“I love Sweetgreen! Someone at my office had ordered catering/delivery and offered me a salad. I tried the kale caesar with chicken and loved it! I went back to the Culver City location and also tried the Santa Monica (4th street location) and they were both great! I usually ask for extra dressing, since it does come with a lot of lettuce. It is very filling and definitely has enough lettuce for two salads. At the Santa Monica location, I went on my lunch and one of the employees was super helpful! She helped me retrieve my order quickly and easily, since I was slightly pressed for time. Would definitely recommend Sweetgreen!“

“I've been to a few locations here on the westside and I have to say this one is one of the better ones. The bowls are made consistently where others I've been to skimp out on certain ingredients. Its always clean and the parking is easily accessible.

Today I had the pleasure of my food being prepared by Tori and from the moment she greeted me I could tell she has a huge focus on customer service. Not because she "has to" but because she has a nack for people. I went to this location today to try the Matcha coconut drink and it was amazing. I'm a coconut girlie so i really enjoyed it but I can see how someone who doesn't like coconut may think its coconut overkill. It's a little more coconut than Matcha, imo.

Anyways Thanks to Tori and her amazing service today. Cheers to uppermanagement on hiring a gem!“
