Michael Anderson: Legendary Chez Jay, est. 1959, is a Santa Monica Historical Landmark. Known for its steaks, seafood, generous drinks and comfortable atmosphere. One of the best celebrity hideaway taverns in all LA.
Mel: Chez Jay's motto: 'Peanut shells on the floor or you're out the door!' :)
Kevin Bannon: The first time I ever went here, the bartender put my first drink on the house. I guess that's not really a tip, but you should take it for what it's worth. Awesome place!

Chrystal Fairbanks: Omg! Try the cinnamon bread pudding with bananas....to die for! Best bread pudding ever consumed.
Sam Lee: Try Their pizza! Awesome! They serve parmesan cheese, herb and olive oil as condiment with pizzas, which "amplify" the taste of pizza.
Mar : I love this branch but lots of bees so if u get tea don't use honey 😱 it will attract more to ur table ..unless u like bee bites 😜

Mario Leal-Cruz, Jr.: Get a sit @ the bar and try the sautéed kale, Brussels sprouts, beet salad, garlic bun, and ANY pizza.
Eater: A tiny, always packed bakery and cafe from the Rustic Canyon team. Expect seasonal small plates, impeccable baked goods, and some of the best pizza pies in the city. [Eater 38 Member]
Shane Plossu: Go for the chicken meatballs each and every time - we always do. Great flavor, especially when the remaining sauce is scooped up with the house bread.
