   Our waitress was very nice but spread thin. We shared several dishes as we wanted to get an overall experience. One of the appetizers included clams. A couple of them were not opened which usually happens when they are dead prior to cooking. It is not advisable to eat a clam which has stayed closed. Another pasta dish came with again, some closed clams. I sent it back and the “chef” was informed of my expectations as it is unhealthy to eat clams which are prepared this way. The dish came back and all clams were properly cooked. The general flavors were underwhelming and a disappointment as the restaurant was a nice environment and we were seated on a very comfortable sofa for dining. My friend ordered a non-alcoholic drink and was told they were out of the ingredients. The server did not offer any alternatives. With so many options in Santa Monica, I suspect this one will not become a regular spot for me.

   We were seated outside even though I made a reservation 2 weeks ago. Not ideal as it was cold even though there were heaters. Good part was that it was not as noisy as inside. Food was good. We would go ag.

   I was so impressed with the staff at Massilia. The host, Mossimo, and our waiter, Jean-Michel, were amazing. Jean-Michel went out of his way to make our night special, and we will definitely be back. I haven't had service that good in a long while. The food was very good, and the ambiance was great. I would recommend it to a friend.

    The overall experieince was very good. The food was above average and reasonably priced. The cocktail and wine list were good, not so much that it could be overwhelming, but different enough to have plently of options. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was excellent but also other staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a very positive experience and I think a good value for your money. My only complaint was it was a bit loud with high energy music. But I am an older person!!! So if they younger crowd likes it, go with it!
