Had a fabulous evening with very close friends. A bit far from our normal range but it was worth the drive. The new location is in a very trendy arts district and it does get busy, you may need to search out a space to park. The venue is easily accessible you will need to recognize their process. They have a check-in station and an ordering station right next to each other. Here’s how it works you check in, get a menu, and a table number. You sit and review the menu, a server will check on you, and in our case, we were told of an off-menu special. Once you know what you want to go back to the ordering station and place your order. When ready they will run it to your table. I like the process – my suggestion is don’t order all your entrees at once. They are fast, so order your appetizers and your go-to entree. Then go back and order more. It’s really easy to let your eyes outeat your stomach. We had so much tasty food. All choices are going to taste fabulous. Why not 5 stars? Well, the lamb chops were overcooked. The pies were not warmed before plating. Overall great place, great staff, great food, I am sure we can get the 5th star when we go back.

Nestled within the charming Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, Le Great Outdoor offers a unique dining experience with its pop-up ambiance and delightful outdoor seating. As you approach the restaurant, you’re greeted by a grill adorned with fresh ingredients, exuding tantalizing aromas reminiscent of a barbecue at a friend’s house. However, the flavors you encounter here are far superior, making for an unforgettable dining adventure.

Lovely and lively but calming outdoor atmosphere with great smelling wood smoke from the fire in the air. Great lambrusco and loved the corn and chicken satay skewers.

Absolutely delicious. We ordered a little bit of everything and I honestly couldn’t choose a favorite. One of the better meals we’ve had in a long while.

Love the patio! Lunch menu differs from dinner menu, has rice bowls (cuvette de riz) and sandwiches and salads.

Loved this place as a pop up and love it just as much as a brick and mortar. Food is fresh and beautiful. Staff is kind and accommodated us even when it was busy and we had no reservation. They do what they can! A definite must if you’re on the west side. Enjoy!

Really fun experience, food was yummy. It kind of feels like you went to an elevated backyard bbq. The only wish is for full waiter service but the staff was awesome and we had an amazing time regardless!
