Awesome place to dine or have a drink. Farm to table and the best Brussels sprout dish on the planet!

I always come purchasing some food in this spot. I loved the swift customer service and well cooked dishes. Never disappointing.

I love this place, and every time I come here I get lucky because Katie is almost always our server and she is awesome!!! All the food here is so good, I love the chilled out vibe and booths. Katie always makes excellent wine pairing recommendations for our meals.... Ingo’s i just can’t quit you, and I’m fine with that. ?

Dimly lit diner with lots of vegetarian-friendly options. Came here on a Friday around 7:30 without a reservation and it was about a 30 minute wait. They did have free chocolate sea salt cookies (similar to the ones at the Misfit, it’s sister restaurant) which I have to admit I munched on prior to getting dinner. I couldn’t help it - the cookies were the right balance of sweet and salty with a nice crunch. Once we were seated, our waitress came and took our orders pretty quickly. We got the broccoli with burrata, brussel sprouts, and mezze plate. The broccoli was huge and I liked the roasted garlic sprinkled throughout it. The crispy brussel sprouts were my favorite - they had such a good texture and had a nice glaze on the outside the was complemented well by the crunch of the Marcona almonds. If you like goat cheese, then you’ll also appreciate that it comes as a dipping sauce, although the brussel sprouts are good on their own. The mezze dips plate is a good appetizer choice that comes with 2 dips (one lebni that’s like a hummus, the other is a muhammara that reminds me of chunky Middle Eastern salsa except it’s made with red pepper and nuts). It comes with pita bread which our waitress was kind enough to bring us more of when we ran out, as well as radishes and carrots. They have jazz on Sunday’s and it’s also a chill, laidback spot to grab a cocktail. Overall, I enjoyed eating my vegetables here and appreciate the free cookies and nice service.

One of my favorite places in Santa Monica. It has a great balance of class and friendliness. I recommend the Brussel sprouts with goat cheese, the meatballs and the burgers. With this said, I don't think I had a bad dish in 10 visits.

Soooooo sooooo good! I have been going there foreverrrrrr and can't wait till they come back :)
My husband and I ordered the honey wings and honey weren't they DE-LI-CIOUS! Hands down the best honey wings that I have ever had!! In addition to them giving me predominantly flats-which is always a plus in my book-the wings were just layered with goodness. They were flavorful, super crisp and yet simultaneously light and airy! 5 for us!

Ingos take away pot pies were a blessing during the shutdown quarantine. The short rib pot pie and bottle of Turley Zinfandel (also purchased from Ingos) along with Ingos Caesar made those night at home memorable. Ingos has always made the neighborhood comfort food the bench mark in Santa Monica. Don’t ever change!!

Ingo's is in the space once occupied by Callahan's, and they made a solid attempt to keep the local diner feel, but the comparison ends there. Ingo's is run by very experienced restauranteurs, and the food and drinks are first class. They have a wonderful rotisserie, and they're constantly changing the menu, so that the meat dishes are succulent and varied. They stress farm to table, and we love the variety of vegetables and salads, and if you want to add chicken to their superb caesar, you can be sure it won't have been boiled that morning and then popped on the grill just before they add it to your salad, it will have been taken off the rotisserie, pulled from the bone, and will be juicy and delicious. I usually eat at R&D Kitchen or Aestus, but the food at Ingo's is just as good or better, and their prices are more reasonable. They have a super nice staff and the servers are well-trained and friendly. We keep trying to sit in Lisa's section, but Bennette, Ananya, Tori, Layla, Brandon, Hayley and all the rest are wonderful. I like the place so much, I've been eating there 4-5 times a week. Callahan's never had a liquor license, but Ingo's has a full bar and creative mixologists, so you can be sure the drinks are interesting and also priced reasonably.

I fell in love with Ingo's! Went there on a Sunday for a late brunch and it was perfect. Quality ingredients , nicely priced drinks and really friendly and accommodating staff. If you have substitutions or want to add anything to your dish they are very willing. They also have live music! Jazz on Sunday. Great customer service, food and ambience.

Obsessed. Support them by purchasing dinner (and the gin cocktail) when i don't have time to cook. My fave spot, have had entire menu. Take everyone there. Dates, friends new and old, siblings, parents, go solo. Love it. Had an issue with a female bartender who only serves regulars and men first if you sit at the bar seating (pre-covid). Actually walked out twice bc of her. But food is excellent. If she will serve ya
