Brittany Leighton: The closest thing I can find to Colombe D'Or in Provence. Amazing food amongst amazing art and a great waitstaff.
Brittany Letto: 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
Doug McCracken: Sweet corn ravioli is delicious

Natalie Guerra: Definitely one of the most authentic Mexican Food places on the west side. The setting is great and the food is even better. I recommend the Chicken Chipotle, margaritas & the breakfast!! ❤️
Troy Devers: Make sure to ask for the house spicy salsa with your chips, fantastic!

Mark Gross: My favorite old school bar and eatery. Made even more popular by the TV show Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton ❤️
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!

Dave Whelan: Parking is always tough here, but now the reward is baked goods from La Boulange. San Francisco comes to Santa Monica!
Jon Sanchez: This is the best place to work here. Quiet for work, solitude, don't have to worry when you go to bathroom if your stuff is safe.
Gregg Fuller: All but one of the baristas are super friendly and helpful. God help you if your get the one who isn't.
