Booked a table on a last-minute trip to Santa Monica. First time visiting the area. Every aspect of this dining experience was exceptional. I would drive 7 hours back to the area, just to dine here, again.

We love this place! We accidentally walked in to this restaurant eight years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. We finally went back last night to celebrate my son graduating from medical school. The food was amazing and our server Maxim was the best! I HIGHLY recommend this amazing place!

Beautiful restaurant with incredible food and service. Slightly overpriced but great for our anniversary celebration. My one flag is that we did not notice we were being charged for water and the server brought two bottles over the course of the meal without confirming with us first and we ended up spending $26 on water!
