Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, service was impeccable, waiter was wonderful. Plates could definitely be shared between two ppl. Food was a little more expensive then expected but very much worth it.

This fancy restaurant has the perfect Santa Monica beachfront spot. The restaurant’s glass walls make the view of the Santa Monica’s ferris wheel very distracting yet entertaining. The changing light patterns of the fun ride are spectacular. Perfect ambiance, interior is cozy and elegant. Great crowd. Servile staff. The VIP treatment was indulging yet heart-warming. Food look gorgeous and sumptuous. I almost didn’t wanna touch. Their lobster-corn chowder and lobster-shrimp salad were delectable. I sure got my money’s worth. Perfect date place. Highly recommendable.”

Second time we try this restaurant in Los Angeles at Santa Monica. Dining here with the beautiful beach view. Recommend to come on sunset time. Keeping with the great service and great meal. Lobster is the signature dish. Ordered one set Oysters (8pcs), one clam chowder soup, one crab cake and one grilled lobster.

Beautiful ocean front view and amazing menu!! Our server Blake was on point with great recommendations and very friendly. We dined for lunch and tried the Gulf Shrimp & Octopus Ceviche Tostada (YUMMY), the Yellowfin Tuna and the Grilled Day Boat Scallops- all were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. If you’re reading this review, you must try!

We are here while on family vacation looking for quality seafood. The staff were friendly and helpful. Charlie was our waitress and was amazing! True customer service with a smile! All the food was awesome, you gotta have the banana cake for dessert! We had: clam chowder, crab cake, yellow fin tuna, king crab legs, halibut, lobster Mac and cheese, and banana cake

Let's be honest, it's super pricey, but also extravagant and wonderful. Great service, extraordinary food, and assuming you sit where you can see the beach, a great view! Went there for my birthday and would do it again. If you're like me, you will want to donate to a charity after you eat there, just to help yourself feel better for spending so much on the food. But it would be worth it!

First off. Our waiter Simon was the best. He was friendly, very helpful, and informative. It was my birthday and we wanted to share everything. He went above and beyond. We first had drinks. My husband ordered Simon's beer of choice and I got 99 problems and peach ain't one. Which we both enjoyed. Then appetizers are clam chowder, calamari, prawns, and crab cake. The main course was pasta, the whole lobster grilled, and Brussels. For dessert the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, and caramel or butterscotch pudding with salted mascarpone. Every single thing was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was beautiful.

I have seen this place for years, that includes living and visiting LA. My wife and I were craving seafood and decided to finally try this spot. Gosh, we didn't know what we were missing! We made a same day reservation on a Friday. We arrived early and we were able to order a drink in the bar area while they got our table ready. It didn't take long at all before we were seated next to a window with an ocean view. As for the food, we ordered the lobster cocktail, lobster salad, clam chowder, and the gumbo. The lobster cocktail came with lemon, butter, and was served over lettuce. I loved how fresh and meaty the lobster was! There was plenty of it on the salad too which was nice. The clam chowder was hot, creamy, and had soft pieces of potato and delicious clam. Finally, the star of the show was the gumbo! It was very flavorful, had plenty of meat, and two large pieces of delicious shrimp. I liked that the gumbo wasn't heavy, it had just the right amount of rice and a hearty base (not creamy and filling). The service was great and we were assisted and greeted by multiple people. I would definitely come back next time in Santa Monica!

Reserve a table if you must, but sit by the windows. You'll have a view of the pier, the coast, and the beach, as long as it's not too cloudy. The food is decent too! The three lbs lobster is delicious, but you'll pay. The service is quick and friendly, and there is a valet. I'd say the attire is on the nicer side of casual.
