The food is excellent. The service is excellent. I always love coming here. The food is organic, vegan and TASTY! Servers seem to be happy which reflects on the service. They are warm and welcoming, something I appreciate very much when I go to restaurants and which is a major reason if I decide to come back or not (pointless... More

Been coming here for 10 years... in fact the chef gave me their recipe for quiche made from tofu. I usually go for the daily specials... had a pizza that had all sorts of veggies including some really fresh tomatoes. Also tried the health platter that day with a selection of the chefs creations. It's usually busy, so go on... More

I'm not a vegetarian but try to eat healthily so one of my now fave restaurants to go to is Real Food Daily (in Santa Monica). Even my fellow 'meat-eater' friends are blown away by how good the food is - and the fact that its vegetarian and organic. To me the 'tacos' are more tasty than any 'real' taco... More

The food was so good we couldn't believe it was healthy! It is a little pricey, but worth it. We just didn't like seating arrangments and the non-chalant way of the hostess and server. All in all it was good, but the food made it very good. :)

Pleasant walk from hotel. Downtown location. Exceptionally fresh ingredients and served nicely. Vg wine list. Not a vegan but was in mood for something healthy and was totally satisfied. Pleasant comfortable atmosphere; not fancy at all. Went at about 830 pm and they were doing a nice business.

I am not vegetarian but am GF and loved the autumn veggie plate with cauliflower mash, roasted brussels sprouts and portobello mushroom stuffed with some sort of delectable rice. Had a pomegranate smoothy that was great as well. The coconut cream pie was GF but didn't flip my switch. The service was attentive and my fellow diners were friendly and... More

We ate here both nights we were in Santa Monica, because we could walk from our hotel and because we needed some healthy food after eating fast food while we were on the road! The appetizers and salads are more tasty than the entrees. The sea cakes and the wasabi dressing on my salad were world beaters. The two entrees... More

Staff was awesome! I had been waiting to go here as I have there cookbook. It didn't disappoint. When they opened at 11 am - there was already a line.

...and the Spicy BLT Wrap (with generous side portion of Caesar salad) is the best healthy lunch sandwich west of the Rockies. Although I fell off the vegan wagon several years ago:I still like to eat healthy veggie when it tastes as good as Real Food Daily makes 'em. Not much in the way of 'atmosphere' but that's part of...

I love this place. Their food is absolutely delicious and I never have a stomach ache after pigging out here. Juices can be pricey but are well worth it, redhead with ginger is my favorite. They just recently changed their menu and added this very tasty "Tu-Nut Salad". As a vegan, I don't like pretending that I'm eating meat but... More
