“Best duck taco I've ever had. Came in for the Karaage but they were out, so decided to go with duck and it did not disappoint. I also met and talked to the owner, and he was incredibly generous and kind. I didn't eat there but the vibe was cool, would definitely dine in too.“

“What a fantastic plate of oysters. The horseradish was hand grated. Has a lobster roll as well with thin fries with old bay. Service was great food was super fast.“

“Tar and Roses was fabulous. The food was delicious. Scott was so attentive and never let us run out of water. We were seated out on the patio and it was so romantic. All the food was fresh and tender. Would for sure go again for another special occasion.“

“Having visited Luke's in New York and also ordered online to our West Coast home, was guardedly excited to see how this phenomenal product has translated out west. I was delightfully surprised with not only the consistently amazing food, but also the accommodating and attentive customer service. I took an order to go with about an hour and a half drive to my home from the Santa Monica location and everything arrived perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Keep up the great work!!!!“

“I will like to give a shout out to the chef. I think his name is Shawn or Sean. When we got to Santa Monica, we looked up restaurants to go have our 26 year anniversary dinner, we stayed at Hotel Delmar right across the street. We googled the restaurant menu, and decided what we were going to have. when we got there, and they brought out the menus, all what we decided to have was not on there. I was crushed. Because I had my mind set on the Halibut. I said it's ok I will just have the Ribeye, mind you I had a ribeye steak the night before. When the waiter came back, my wife asked if it's possible to get the Halibut and he said let me check with the chef. He came back later and said the chef said it's no problem. I was blown away. That was the best Halibut ( besides mine) that I have ever had. Thank you chef Shawn. From one chef to another, thank you. you made my night.“

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

“Had a great time. The staff friendly.“

“How they don’t have a star yet is a mystery. Big miss from the tire folks. But I’m excited for how Chef Dave will keep stepping up his game to get it next year.

Also a low key star: the wine pairing is incredible and if you don’t or aren’t drinking, the NA pairing is on a level jn a class of its own.“

“Great food! Beautiful view. We will definitely be back.“

“I enjoyed my stay at the Viceroy and especially enjoyed their offerings at the Sugar Palm. Great service! We dined at the bar on a beautiful outdoor day in Santa Monica. Super chill vibe, poolside, and thankful for the yummy recommendations by our server. I wish I got her name but she recommended the tacos and they were delightful. The poke bowl was so colorful and beautiful and the avocado toast was tasty and plentiful. Would eat here again when I'm in town.“

“Delicious food, excellent service ~ our table ordered Caesar salad, clam chowder, tiger prawns, crab cakes, sea bass, ahi tuna, swordfish, tiramisu, and carrot cake (maybe a bit more) and everything was superb ~ the taste, the presentation, the service, the space. Highly recommend.“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“

“Great food loved it ! We will b back“

“Great Mexican food!
We love their octopus and sugar cane filets. Very authentic tastes. Only one downside is the kids salmon is a bit too salty. Other than that everything is great with Sol Agave! Recommend this place if visiting Santa Monica!
Tip: REMEMBER to validate your parking ticket to get 90 minutes free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“old school~ great food~ great host~ a treasure~“

“Good food(easy pickup to go), nice service & a parking lot behind...Thanks. Plan to visit again soon/often“

“Had an incredible experience this evening at BOA. Mr. Ousley seated our party in the best seats! My server Mark was outstanding and his service was spot on. Clay and his whole team were On Point. The whole vibe and atmosphere was just perfect. I think I just had the best steak of my life right here in Santa Monica.“

“Loved the happy vegan bowl.“

“The seafood here is absolutely outstanding. The branzino was perfectly prepared — delicate, flavorful, and cooked to perfection — and both the crabcakes and calamari appetizers were excellent. There's an impressive wine selection to complement the meal, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. This is, without question, my favorite restaurant in Santa Monica!“

“My friend and I came here for dinner. There is seating outdoors with heaters but we chose to sit inside.

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.

Parking lot in the back, but when we arrived it was full, so we parked on the side street.“

“3.5 on taste alone but bumped up to 4 because I appreciate the convenience and decent priced availability T's Thai offers.

As alluded to above, I didn't think the food was rave worthy (not to say that it was bad though). I ordered my usuals - pad Thai, pad see ew, and (red) curry. All tasted pretty good and better to have in the area than not in my opinion. I only did delivery, so cannot speak for the service or the ambiance.“

“All the food is taste very delicious, you must try them all.“

“Awesome was a wonderful experience“

“DTLA LA CONDE Great and beautiful place, prices are just good. Loud very loud music you can't even talk al the patio, dj only plays regueton why? Is a lot of spanish rock .. dj deserve ⭐️⭐️. Was a b-day celebration and our waiter don't care and we have to move inside bar. Se ordeno un mescal en la calavera de cristal y resulta que no tenian.“
