About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Tucked within a lush, hidden garden in the heart of Santa Monica, Fia is a coastal retreat where exceptional food and warm hospitality meet. The newest creation from hospitality visionary Michael Greco, Fia was brought to life by acclaimed designer Matt Winter, who transformed the space into an urban oasis that feels both transportive and intimate.

At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef Tim Cardenas, whose seasonal menu—rooted in California and Italian coastal cuisine—delivers bold flavors and refined execution. Chef Cardenas showcases the finest local ingredients, crafting dishes that are as satisfying as they are memorable.

Greco’s guiding hospitality mantra—Service, Service, Service—is felt in every detail, from the personalized guest experience to the attentive, knowledgeable staff. Complementing the menu are carefully curated cocktails and a thoughtfully selected wine list featuring both Old and New World expressions.

    The brunch was just ok. I’ve been before. I think it was the pre set menu thing rather than quality of the food on another day

    Disappointed and Misled on Easter Brunch We made a reservation at Fia in Santa Monica through OpenTable for their advertised Easter Garden Brunch at $67, which was supposed to include pastries, an entrée, and bottomless drinks. However, when we arrived, we were told that this offer was no longer available. The staff mentioned that many others had made the same reservation, but the restaurant “didn’t want to bother” calling to let anyone know ahead of time. Instead, we were forced into a different Easter brunch option priced at $79, which only included pastries and an entrée — no bottomless drinks. To add that back in, it was an extra $24 and only had the option for mimosas no rose or margaritas like the brunch we had reserved for. We went last year for Easter brunch and the restaurant was much busier so it’s hard to understand the limited menu and menu cuts. If we had known this in advance, we absolutely would have canceled and gone elsewhere. There were plenty of amazing brunch options in LA that day, and it felt incredibly frustrating to be misled with no acknowledgment or effort from the restaurant to make it right. We left feeling like we had been scammed, and it’s disappointing that a restaurant with such a reputation would handle a holiday brunch this way. If you’re thinking of dining here, especially for a special occasion, think twice.

    We had a wonderful evening at Fia. The outdoor seating was lovely and our server, Brittany, was amazing! She catered to our every need promptly and professionally. We started with the meatballs which were delicious…they practically melt in your mouth and the marinara sauce and accompanying bread …fabulous. Next came the salad. We are picky about our Caesar’s Salad, but Fia knocked it out of the park. We shared it which was good because it was huge. Served with fresh anchovies, very crisp romaine and the dressing was on point…perfect blend of garlic and lemon…neither overpowering the other. And the piece de resistance was our main entree which again, we shared…Parmesan Chicken. It was divine! First of all, it could easily feed three people. It was lightly breaded and very tender and moist. Seasoned just right with just the right amount of melted cheese on top and that marinara sauce!!!! Valet parking was a plus.

    Meh. This place isn’t as good as it used to be. Slow and inattentive service, average food. Won’t be back for a while.
