We hosted a private event and the team was extremely easy to work with. Food and service was excellent. Shout out to Karina for her help with everything.

The security personnel here feel way too comfortable getting aggressive with women. I went a few months ago and was shoved really hard by a white bald security dude about 6 feet there while dancing to the point I almost fell. A simple tap on the shoulder would have sufficed if he wanted to move past me in a loud, crowded environment. The second time was Saturday where I was walking to the front of the bathroom lines to ask the girls waiting in front if I could just use the sink to wash my retainers. Another security personnel, a large woman smacked her arm in front of my body to prevent me from passing. I ran into her arm hard. Because of the aggressive behavior shown to me and security personnel putting their hands on my for no good reason, I refuse to give this place any more dollars

I can also confirm that the bouncers are terrible. Just a bunch of wannabe tough guys.

Believe the reviews about stolen phones. My phone was stolen here and while I was looking for it someone in the bar told me there is an organized phone theft ring. Staff were aggressive and rude when I asked for lost and found.

Anatomy with Me

I pulled in to the parking lot to ask the parking attendant (white guy w “beard”-style facial hair and an ear microphone) some questions. Straight away the guy is talking to me like we are in an argument. But I just got here. And we’re not in an argument. And I just asked you a question. I’m just trying to be polite, get some information and treat you the way I want to be treated. I’m sure he deals with drunk people a lot and is traumatized from it but if you can’t take each situation one at a time and just be polite initially, maybe you shouldn’t be talking to potential customers. I will definitely never be a customer now and I will definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for the experience.

The bouncers are overzealous wannabe heroes. I should have read the other low reviews for this place. Did not realize how dangerous this place was.

Where do I even start????? Sorry, but this is a horrible place. I've been here a few times and I had never looked at reviews because I was recommended by a friend. If you're seeing this then SAVE YOURSELF and do not come here.

Went here most recently a week ago. My phone, drivers license, AND all of my debit and credit cards got stolen out of my purse without me even realizing it.

There is very clearly ORGANIZED THEFT here. Asked an employee if there was a lost and found and he LAUGHED at me and said to wait in the corner on the patio so when everyone left we could go around the place and look for it after closing. Like he made me feel so stupid and dumb for even asking him. So then here I am literally sitting WHERE I WAS TOLD TO SIT anxious out of my mind and a guard comes up around 1:45 am and starts yelling at us to leave and I tried to explain to him that we were told to sit over here but he didn't even care and started pushing us out. I am just so disappointed in the way this was handled. I know they can't do much about my phone and stuff being gone but at least have some sympathy for someone who just got all their money, identity, and phone stolen.

BTW the people who stole my phone had already tried to charge $5,000 onto my card and various other charges from Mexico by the time it hit 3am. These people are absolute idiots. This place created such a nightmare for me and I am so beyond disappointed. It is BEYOND me that anyone would want to go here knowing this happens every night.

Last thing, lots of creepy men. These people literally prey on you and clearly don't know how to flirt or respect boundaries whatsoever. It is actually embarrassing to me how some people are so confident and creepy at this place. Very sad that me and so many other people do not feel safe here.

The best place to hang out in Santa Monica. Came for a few drinks with my friends, and ended up staying for dinner. Food, atmosphere and selection of menu items were hella good. Definitely coming back and bringing more friends.

If you are a woman o highly caution going here. This bartender harassed me multiple times and when I asked for his name he would not tell me so I was unable to report him. I am appalled and extremely disappointed that an establishment in Santa Monica would hire such a vile and scary employee.
