Summer House Santa Monica offers a lovely space with outdoor vibes, known for its Sunday brunch and fantastic dinner menu. The restaurant is a Chicago staple with incredible Froze drinks and really good food, creating a vibrant ambiance. The friendly and knowledgeable staff make it a reliable hit for locals and visitors alike.
The food is intended to be Californian—clean, crisp, and simple flavors that go well together. Customers often enjoy dishes like Salmon Poke Nachos, veggie burger, and Mexican hash browns, all noted for being very good. The jalapeño cornbread is especially popular, described as amazingly gooey and one of the favorite dishes. Drinks and cocktails are more of a hit, well made, with extensive options. The food and ambience are generally praised, though one customer found the food "middle of the road." The service is highly praised, with staff described as attentive and pleasant, contributing to a nice energy in the lively dining room.
