Crudo, oxtail and octopus, duck rillete bruschetta all so good!!
Come here for a delightful platter of charcuterie, cheeses and bruschetta (the duck confit one is great). Getting the platter, other small dishes and the strawberry tart will guarantee a good meal.
Really good food and an intimate vibe at a surprisingly good price point for the area. One of my favourites during our stay. The duck breast and trump mushrooms!
Szechuan pancakes with stir fried duck, mushrooms, & cilantro with their house syrup is unreal!
Menu musts: Chinois chicken salad, Grilled salmon, Whole sizzling catfish, Stir fried duck and vegetables http://bit.ly/osS1iM
The curried oysters, duck pancakes, and spicy miso black cod are classics. A trip here always brings a real sense of nostalgia, as this was one of the first foodie destinations in California. Read more.
Mizo glazed duck & apple meatballs paired with Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout is amazing
Ahi taco appetizer, duck meatballs, & Giselle crab cake are yummy! Also the watermelon mojito is delish if you like sweeter tropical drinks.
Cucumber martini, lamb & apple Vietnamese meatballs - perfect meal
Gotta love the original. If you're straying from the burger, get the Liberty Duck Confit Salad.
Try the duck salad-- amazing!!
Duck salad is fantastic if you're not in the mood for a burger.
By far one of the Becker charcuterie boards I’ve ever had. The smoked duck is a must try! And a phenomenal wine list, with vibes to match.
The Bloody Mary cart is fun on Sunday’s. It perfect for a rainy afternoon. Sipping great wine choosing from a nice selection of cheeses.
One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to around the world. Everything is incredible especially the duck press.
Do yourself a favor: get the duck breast.
Amazing French Food! It's expensive (though prices include 20% gratuity so don't get too sticker shocked) but really excellent!
The new York duck, is better than the turkey, with compote
An EXCEPTIONAL place to get your Eastern European groove on! Favorites include mushroom pierogis, the Hunter's Stew "Bigos", stuffed cabbage rolls & a cold beet borscht that is an instant aura fluff!
You can eat on the couches now!
Stand out dish from the tasting menu: white corn ravioli with shaved truffles. I'd also recommend the Maryland crab torta, duck slider foie gras, heirloom tomato salad and flourless chocolate soufflé.
The closest thing I can find to Colombe D'Or in Provence. Amazing food amongst amazing art and a great waitstaff.
Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert
Duck Confit & the Artichokes tonight.
The house wine is grown right on Michael's vineyard home in Malibu! Don't know where else you can get something that unique.
Michael's has been in Santa Monica since 1979. I actually celebrated my 16th B. Day there. It has always remained a classic in contemporary cuisine. Now offering a happy hour with great bar bites..
Duck roll-ups and Chicken Tikka FTW!
Try the Belhaven (Scottish Beer) - the corn is super sweet and spicy - get s side order - baby back ribs, grilled vegetables, crab cakes and prosciutto pizza were other big winners.
This place has way cool music and an awesome pizza oven. A must to check out.
Amazing tamales and the duck enchiladas are yum
This restaurant serves a variety of Mexican dishes and has a great bar and patio to enjoy margaritas at, after your day at the beach.
Sit in the Window. Great Margies
Lovely duck confit
This wine bar has an ever-evolving menu of the best of the best in food and wine. One thing remains consistent, their selection of Bordeaux, whether by the glass or bottle, is a must try.
Niman Ranch Burger. Dish out the extra $3 (used to be $2, le sigh) for the fried egg. You're already going big by eating an $18 burger so why not get the works? Enjoy.
Free non-timed parking in the back by valet. Prepare for a 10-15 min wait on weekends. LOVED the duck hash! Check out the brunch menu it changes weekly!
This is the greatest restaurant in the world.

Ask for an ocean view and make sure you head up to the rooftop bar at sunset - stunning
Suite is large and stylish, although not a good layout for kids because the bathroom and bedroom are joined. We're enjoying the service, but shocked that they don't provide coffee or tea in your room.
Awesome boutique hotel on Ocean Drive in Santa Monica. A great place to relax. Recommend the RNR suite on the 7th floor - an amazing view of the ocean and Santa Monica pier. Awesome service, too.
menu musts: fried egg on pretzel croissant; challah french toast; grilled chicken and fig; spanakopita; beet and goat cheese salad. $$.
great caps!
Pricey place but a lovely locale. The Kale salad with crispy proscuitto is choice and you can't go wrong with any dessert.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
