    "The food here is fantastic. You get a great range of breads for a start, including bacon bread, olive bread and French roll. You will certainly get what you pay for in terms of the food quality. However, the fine dining service complements things impeccably. Lobster Bolognese, Sonoma rack of lamb, house cured salmon and capers, yuzu, pickled daikon, and pistachio and goat cheese coated grapes are ... read more >

    "As much bar as restaurant, this venue serves great burgers and food. The place serves what could be classed as a house special burger with spinach, cheese, onions and a delicious sauce, sandwiched in a roll like piece of bread rather than a bun. Sides on offer include both sweet and regular fries. The menu is limited. However, if you’re not here for the burgers, the beet salad is fantastic. There ... read more >

    "Check this burger out: provolone cheese, mixed greens, tomato, avocado, grilled onion and a third of a pound of burger. Sounds good, right? The best part is, the beef within the burger may be enhanced with seasoning or cooked just the way you want and is custom made to your specifications. The fries are divine. You can choose sweet potato, regular potato or a mixture of fries. Turkey burgers for ... read more >

Also available are wonderful sandwiches and cakes that are as easy on the eye as the belly. The choice of breads includes olive loaf and white. Enjoy the smoked salmon alongside a delicious tea.

    Generous servings of just about whatever you order here. this venue a great place for a family breakfast or lunch or just sitting out on the patio and taking in the Santa Monica sun and beach weather.

    (310) 396-7675
    Beer braised beef brisket, Carolina style pulled pork and more conventional BBQ chicken sandwiches are all available here. The pulled pork is great, but the beef brisket has a juiciness to it that can be tasted even without the many sauces they have on the menu. Chicken wings that taste like they were cooked on an open fire are a delight. Sides include creamed and fried vegetables and mac and chee ... read more >

    "Sushi here includes Albacore, Tuna, Salmon, Snapper, Yellowtail, and Halibut. All good, healthy and delicious. The oyster sashimi is excellent and filling. Portions are generous. The “Trust Me” (as in, most probably, “Trust me, I’m a chef”) menus are excellent and a great introduction to sushi for novices and a nice way to get a good rounded fix for sushi addicts."

    "Flavored egg dishes here such as Shio Ramen in a rice bowl of pork are great, and some of the dishes have a saltiness you won’t get elsewhere. Noodles here are firm and tasty. You’re a little spoilt for choice in terms of menu options. You can avoid the saltier dishes and have a healthier meal if that’s what you’re into. There are three broths among many dishes that are excellent: Daikokuya , San ... read more >
