The Farmer's Market is the place to be! Pastry Chef Sherry Yard is a regular, getting fresh, seasonal inspiration for her amazing desserts at Spago!
Wednesdays - I get all my fresh produce here - you get to speak with all the farmers & vendors to keep up to date with what's fresh & the best quality and their recommendations. -Alex Reznik, Top Chef
Under the radar, go-to spot for authentic Italian cured meats on the west side of LA (and other goodies imported from Italy).
amazing - full of imported italian foods- I went after my recent Italy trip helped me pick the best olive oil out of the many choices and refrigerated items look great too. definitely be back!
Order the Cesar Salad - one of the best (if not the best) in town.
The cook deserves a gol medal, the ribs were so tender and delish and the seafood pasta was amazing. Definitely one if my favorite places in LA
Vito Restaurant
I love this branch. Very friendly staff and much more variety of things
Best public restroom!
Natalia at the Kiehl's counter is the best! Not only is she very attentive, courteous and kind, she also pampers you with lots of samples for products you may want to try!
Menu must: go for the sweet corn ravioli! Read more.
Best meatballs ever!!
thursday happy hour from 5 till close
Excellent menu, impeccable service, views of the ocean and pier, cocktails before or after in the sumptuous hotel lobby make you feel like visiting royalty. On my list of favourites.
I've never been to a restaurant where the server seemed scared to come to the table. Then I had lunch here.
Filet was tasty as were sides. “Special” salad was pretty bland. $5 for bread!
O my god, amazing (coming from a spoiled San Francisco foodie)
Serving classic and contemporary Mexican food. With over 60 premium Tequilas and mescal's. Be sure to order the Guacamole with fresh chips as a starter.
Food blogger Lori or Loriculwell.com recommends BOA for its “warm bread, great wine, amazing steaks, mac and cheese, candlelit ambience, and the fact that the people who work there are so darn nice.”
If u didn't order the "truffle cheese fries", u r haven't try BOA restaurant 😪
Get steak. If you order a salad, the steak bogey man will follow you for seven years.
Featuring 12-13-inch artisan style pizzas highlighting a range of sustainable, locally-grown ingredients found at the Santa Monica farmer's market. The menu changes seasonally, too.
The bustling, sceney atmosphere has small but mighty wine list, and best spinach and kale salad west of the Mississippi.
The spinach and crispy purple kale salad is not only healthy, but also delicious. The same goes for the oven roasted tomato pizza. Highly recommend both if you ever stop by!
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..
I never eat here I just stop in to make holiday reservations.
The Black Truffle Grilled Cheese with Crispy Onion Rings are a perfect comfort food. Pair it with a glass of wine or beer. The portion size is perfect, which makes it not over the top indulgent.
Best bathroom view ever
There are few places with a better view of the Pacific—and those brilliant sunsets—than this restaurant.
The best omelet in town, the Marmalade omelet!
Grab and go, or sit and eat. Plenty of options, but be forewarned: even the simplest egg sandwich runs 12-13 bucks.
great food, cute atmosphere!
The herb crusted albacore hot plate with mashed potatoes and kale salad is to die for. And all the employees are so nice! Borderline creepy, but very nice!
Great value and great good!
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.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
