Los Angeles Times: Any discussion of Tar & Roses must begin, as your dinner probably will, with what is probably its simplest appetizer, a concoction of popcorn tossed with brown sugar, lardons and chile. Read more.
David Steinberger: Everything was terrific. Highlights: beets, gnocchi, bone marrow and strawberry crostado was ridiculously good. Cute bill in a "the damage" envelope, too.

Yana: Best hotel in Santa Monica. The most expensive but worth it.
Travel + Leisure: Ask the concierge for a tour of the hotel's "beach gallery," featuring pieces from such artists as David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg.
Katja Haack: Great AYCE for 27,95$ Dinner and 21,95$ lunch. Fresh and extraordinary Sushi.
eifeh: Decent sushi in Santa Monica. Nothing fancy, but definitely good to satisfy a craving. All-you-can-eat lunch deal is pretty good for $20.95. Service was good.
Lee Simpson: Amazingly good all you can eat sushi deal. Some of the baked rolls are a touch intense for my liking - stick to the hand rolls.
Simple Foodie: Salumi, Steak Frites, Shepherd's Pie, Bavette Steak

Connie Chiu: One of the best burger spots in LA! The classic is good but the lamb burger is even better. Get 'em medium rare. Fries are on point too. Skip the monkey bread.
