A great place to dine and their bakery is awesome! I recommend this place to all my friends, clients and to everyone!😘 Santo is our server and he’s excellent!👍😍
Visiting our Son in Chicago, we were looking for a good lunch spot. We were more than pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and was served by an enthusiastic staff. The desserts were the crowning end to a great meal. They even have a dessert counter so you can take some home. Overall a must do!
We had an excellent lunch yesterday. The Butternut squash soup was delicious!! My friend had the salmon burger, also delicious!! A lively and fun place to eat, and the chocolate chip cookies are to die for!!
Great food, friendly staff good service (despite it being a packed house) awesome atmosphere and hands down the best rice krispy treat in the world.
Omg the food was magical. I kept staring at other people’s plates, and my mouth was watering lol. I highly recommend everyone to eat there!
The food was great. The drinks were just as delicious too. Highly recommend and make sure you leave room for dessert. I would do this one again.
1pm lunch and place was packed. Sat at last available seat at the bar. Friendly and attentive bar tender. Had the Aloha Poke Bowl.. delicious...but be warned..it has jalapeno peppers which gives it a kick. Next time I hope to sit in the main dining room..sun filled.
A great place with beautiful atmosphere. the food and drinks were excellent. It was first time there and I would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant. My suggestion would be to make reservations because it was packed.
We loved this place for Brunch when in Chicago for a Christmas getaway. It is a little pricey for breakfast, but our Avocado Toast with poached eggs was delicious and different from the every day breakfast.
Laid back atmosphere, excellent service and fresh amazing food, loved the concept of feeing like we took a trip to a California! Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back in the summer and see the retractable roof.
Summer House Santa Monica was a great place to spend the evening! Beautiful open and airy dinning room and the food was on point! Service was fun and inviting! Great job! 👍👍
Super cute spot for brunch! Great environment as well as excellent food. We got the Mexican hash browns and breakfast tostados split. I will say I liked the breakfast tostados more. The hash was slightly different than I was expecting, so would get something different next time. Lemon cookie was a bit cakie if you like your cookies that way.
Bright and sunny California themed atmosphere paired with creative cocktails and some good seafood options. Also an amazing bakery, get some cookies!
Went for lunch on a Friday and it was packed so I'd recommend making a reservation even for lunch.
The calamari was perfectly cooked, and the poke bowl and fish tacos were amazing. Most people were ordering some of salads which looked huge.
Will come back to enjoy some of the larger entree options.
Bryan was great. We had the vodka pasta, bruschetta, wine, & calamari. He did great handling a group of 7. Thank you for accommodating us last minute. The food & atmosphere is always great here.
I recently dined at Summer House Santa Monica in Chicago and had a delightful experience. Started with some incredible bread, followed by a delectably cooked tenderloin beef served on creamy mashed potatoes. Not only was the food top-notch, but the atmosphere was friendly and vibrant. Located in a charming area that especially comes to life around Halloween. And if you have a sweet tooth, their dessert selection will surely impress. Highly recommend!
Summerhouse Santa Monica is one of my favorite go to here in Chicago! It’s perfect for brunch - family friendly, great for dates, and so fun for friends get togethers.
Their service and food is sways fast and delicious, but what takes them to the next level is the atmosphere. This west coast, beach inspired restaurant is always bright and naturally lit! The plants and decor takes you out of the brutal winter of Chicago!
Let’s not forget the dessert shop right in the front! You can’t leave summerhouse without grabbing a sweet dessert to go!
Only thing to consider is difficulty of parking in the area! There are valet, but if you plan to park in the neighborhood, give yourself extra time!
We had a group of 5 dine in at Summer House Santa Monica, and we all had a wonderful experience.
For appetizers, we had guacamole & house-made chips and parmesan-truffle fries. The guacamole was fresh and tasteful. The aioli that came with the fries was amazing.
For entrees, we had the classic margherita pizza, organic sausage & fennel pizza, and rigatoni alla vodka. All the food we had was delicious!
Before you leave, make SURE to get something from the bakery! We had the birthday cake, double chocolate cloud, and lemon cookies; all were so fresh and delicious!
I drank espresso martinis, and I really liked them as well.
The ambiance inside is exceptional. The decor, vibe, and feel of the restaurant was a large part of what made our experience so wonderful. Our waiter was friendly and attentive to our table. The bathrooms were very clean, which is a plus!
I 10/10 recommend Summer House Santa Monica, I am looking forward to coming back!
Our server Devante was excellent he catered to all our needs. My friend wanted to move to a better table and he made it happened. I ordered the three egg breakfast, with turkey bacon, and diced hash browns. The turkey bacon was really good. Ordered a bottle of champagne for mimosas. For dessert a cinnamon roll from the bakery👍🏽👍🏽.
This restaurant is beautiful. The desserts were so good. If you’re old enough and enjoy gin get the Lavender Haze. I wish I had ordered more cause it was all so good.
Great atmosphere, lovely summer vibes even on a rainy fall day. Love the changing menu, nothing ever disappoints but the breakfast tostadas are my fave! Staff is over the top service and very attentive. Awesome food, compliments to the chef!! And those desserts are to die for, never go home without stopping there first!
Had a great time at Summer House Santa Monica! The food and vibe were awesome, and the staff was super nice. Definitely check them out!
Just WOW. 5 stars for everything. This is worth going to for ANY reason. The food was incredible, the service amazing and the atmosphere is something to remember. Josh, our waiter was incredible. Not only would recommend but I would totally say this is a MUST!
The aesthetic of Summer House is definitely a big draw. Stylish decor and atmosphere. Good restaurant for a larger family/friends gathering. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Both the Shrimp Cocktail and Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos were delicious. I also loved the Spicy Rigatoni. The pasta portions were larger than I was expecting. Could definitely be shared with two people if you’re planning to order multiple appetizers!

Went to brunch with some girlfriends yesterday and it was a very nice time!
I am rating this a 4 for the ambiance, as the decor was so cute and the open concept of the ceiling made the lighting so amazing, but if I was rating just for the food, I would do a 3 because it was good but nothing extremely special.
If you like Mexican breakfast this place could be for you. 3 of my friends got dishes off the Mexican food portion of the menu, and they loved it. I am not as adventurous when it comes to breakfast, so I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage and mayo. It was good but kinda messy and nothing to RAVE about. I also got a side of fries which were tasty because they were shoestring style which is my favorite.
I got a mimosa to drink, and I would not get one again because it was extremely expensive for no reason! Got the 9oz poor and it was like $21... Would get a regular cocktail next time.
Our server was extremely nice and attentive and gave us time to look over the menu before making decisions on food.
Overall, I would most likely go back as I did like the vibes of a girl's date.
Food was all very good, the steak frites tasted amazing like they had marinated it before or something. Chips and guac is forsure above average with some side salsas that come with it, and the meatballs are great. Service was a bit slow because our table wasn’t ready and then our waiter took a bit of time to greet us. Overall I recommend and would forsure come back.
If you've been to Michael's in Santa Monica, you'll recognize the vibe of Summer House. The service is excellent, attentive but not overly. The food was mostly great. My sandwich came in toast, that was very well done (the edges were burnt). Everything else was great, from the guacamole to the coconut cream pie, the flavors were fresh and delicious! Can't wait to go back.
It was the most beautiful restaurant I've been there, I love the atmosphere, design, and colors 😍
Definitely, I will be back there soon
⭐️4.2/5
Great food and atmosphere! I recommend buttermilk pancakes, it was huge and soft. Breakfast burritos was very good as well. I would like to go back for dinner 😉
