Neighbourhood restaurant that’s good for a date or dinner with friends. Shared plates are all delicious, especially the blue cheese chips. The mains are good portions and well prepared, I like the ribs, steak, and striped bass. Cocktails are good, and if you sit at the bar the bartenders are knowledgeable and happy to make something off menu for you.

Great atmosphere! Neighborhood eatery with character. The staff were all super nice and attentive. I had the ahi tuna which was amazing. Little crispy rice cubes with tuna on top and excellent seasoning. The blue cheese chips were decadent. A little too salty but the crispyness under the creamy blue cheese was an amazing texture surprise with each bite. The cauliflower with a creamy hummus sauce was so flavorful. I like my cauliflower a bit less crunchy but overall quite tasty. I’ll be back again for sure!

Decent lunch spot – we had the tomato soup, burrata and the Thai peanut noodles, of which the Thai peanut noodles was particularly delicious and flavorsome. For mains, we had the ravioli and the roasted corn – the ravioli was average but the corn was delicious! The reason I gave it three stars was because it seemed as though the servers were trying to rush us through our meal by offering to clean up much before we were done. Otherwise it was a nice meal!

This is one of my favorite places in Santa Monica! Fred and Ayo are the best. The food is wonderful (try the steak tacos, chicken salad, crispy rice) and Happy Hour cocktails are yummy. We have our annual Holiday Party here and it is always a blast! Prices are reasonable, ambiance is friendly, a neighborhood gem!

My wife and I have come here twice and each time were blown away. Spicy Ahi crispy rice, the coffee crusted pork tenderloin and the burger are FANTASTIC! John, our waiter was excellent as well.

Everything was delicious. I think the keys is they don’t try to overwhelm you with flavor. We started with the burrata, charred avocado and spicy tuna over crispy rice. For entrees we had the pork, stripped bass and chicken. Once again to point out that the food has just the right amount of flavor. You were able to appreciate the texture of the food, the presentation without being distracted by to much seasoning.

Delicious neighborhood restaurant. Excellent service, good wine list and bar. The food is the star of the show. I love the ribs, tuna on crispy rice and the octopus!
