Good food but experience spoiled by the very unpleasant waitress.

Asked for credit card before ordering. Not something I’m used to. SoCal resident and never encountered this before, nothing inspired confidence like feeling like your being looked at as a dine n dasher. I will not be returning to Big Deans

After a walk at the Santa Monica Pier we went to eat as a family. The food is basic: hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers... but very delicious. The service is friendly and fast.

A pub located on Santa Monica Beach, about 30 minutes by Uber from Los Angeles International Airport.Light music plays, and you can watch sports such as the NBA on the screen.There are many craft beers available, and the medium size of $11 can be considered a large size for Japanese people. Fish and chips also come in half sizes. (lol)There were three options for the tip at checkout: 18%, 20%, and 25%, or you could customize it by writing it yourself.When I visited Las Vegas over 10 years ago, it was 10, 15, 20%. . This may also be due to the effects of inflation.

I’m happy this restaurant has a lot of reservations but trying to get a spot was impossible on a Sunday. While they checked our IDs to enter, we couldn’t find a single spot without a reservation to sit at. Also, the vibe was so unwelcoming. Not only was it very bro-y, but no servers bothered to come to our table or even let us know until 5 minute later that our table that had no reservations on it, wasn’t available to sit at.AVOID this place if you don’t want to be treated like you’re taking up valuable space in their restaurant even if you’re a paying patron. Would highly recommend going anywhere else as there are so many options available. We didn’t bother staying after not being able to find a seat.
