This is a beautiful restaurant in Santa Monica with nice ocean view. Def. a nice dating place. We had mahi mahi and salmon. Salmon was good but mahi mahi was dry and boring. The food is not bad over all, but I expect better for the price range. more

Seafood doesn't get much better than this. I had lobster and my fiancee had tuna & salmon. Absolutely nothing wrong with the mid-afternoon meal with excellent service in delightful surroundings. Excellent wine list with a bottle price for all occasions. Highlight of our Santa Monica visit. more

We were in town for the Rose Bowl and looking for great seafood restaurants. This restaurant was highly recommended, so we decided to try it. It's within a couple blocks of the Santa Monica pier. Since it was during the holiday season the restaurant was very busy, so we decided to sit at the bar, since we could order from... more
