Kaitlin Wille: Salted caramel bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream is orgasmic!!!! 7-7-7-7!
Kentonye: The small seafood tower at the bar is the move.
Eater: Premier seafood served in a recently renovated, modernized space. There's a raw bar, a tank with live ocean creatures, but do remember fresh fish will cost you. [Eater 38 Member]

Sherry L: The salted caramel ice cream with caramel topping and cinnamon crumble was delicious. I don’t recommend the sea salt topping, though, because it made it overly salty.
Kyle Harris: Salted Caramel is a must. There's a park that overlooks the Marina right across the street. The perfect snack to eat while taking a stroll
Di-anna Leech: They now have chocolate & mango!

Alyssa Deckel: The salted caramel ice cream with your choice of topping.. I'd choose the roasted pecans..;)
Rick Nijhuis: Hand-crafted ice cream made from organic dairy and fresh produce from the Santa Monica farmers market. Loved their pear vanilla sorbet!
LA Weekly: Two epic summer treats come together harmoniously in Sweet Rose Creamery’s summer corn ice cream. The corn works surprisingly well in dessert, and as in creamed corn, pairs perfectly with dairy. Read more.
