Kate H.: Pretty sure everyone here is stoned, not just the waitresses. :) Service was fine, relax people! Great people watching in Venice Beach, good selection of beers, tasty grilled cheese.

Kate H.: Truffle-lovers paradise. Get the risotto or carpaccio, but not both - that's just greedy. Classic fettuccine bolognese is delicious. Love the atmosphere here, especially the dramatic Italian accents.

Kate H.: Nice but not pretentious. The meats are excellent - try the fennel sausage and rabbit meatballs. "Hidden" back patio is perfect for enjoying mild Santa Monica evenings with friends and lots of wine.

Kate H.: Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Comfortable yet elegant Nantucket feel to the lobby, restaurants and rooms. Have a pre-dinner cocktail and enjoy the live jazz Weds-Sat around 6pm in the lobby.
American Restaurant · Printer's Row · 25 tips and reviews
Kate H.: SRO is the best quick-serv in the area. Food is prepared to order and always hits the spot. Turkey chili is the best (not avail in summer); burgers, gryos, subs all delish.
