small portions for price but good food overall, howeverservice was TERRIBLE. Sat outside on the patio as a party of 4. Food took 30+ minutes to deliver. Waiter did not check on us once. Personally had to go up to the bar multiple times to ask about the status of our order, for plates, forks, etc. Did not even get served water. Unbelievable service despite being such a high traffic & tourist-y area, expected much more during my visit to santa monica.

Fast service and our server was very kind. The food was delicious. We had the crab cakes and the seafood pasta. The crab cakes were very well cooked with a nice crisp outside. The seafood pasta was creamy and the seafood in it was also very well cooked. All around I'd recommend. The prices were what I would expect to pay for seafood.

If I could rate this place a zero star, I would. The food tastes like frozen food. They were barely warm because a waiter forgot about our order. People that came 30 mins after got their food earlier than us. The plates were still wet and I had to dry them myself. I would not recommend this place.

We had a wonderful service. The food was amazing. The southwest burger was very filling and the meat was cooked just right. The shrimp sandwhich was delicious. Reasonable portions. Views are phenomenal

Horrible first time here. They didn't have things that were on the menu. It took an hour and a half to get our food, mind you it was not busy at all (that should of been a sign). Server Carlos kept saying there was issues with the kitchen. Food came out undercooked and was not fresh. As soon as we left, I returned back to ask if I could use the restroom. I had to change my baby and they refused. I couldn't believe it. I would not recommend this place. The restaurant next door had lots of people and looked like a fun atmosphere. Will definitely try that place next time.

The location - Santa Monica Pier - makes it a legendary spot with stunning views for me! The service was quick and attentive, and the inside looked quite pleasant as well. The major issue for me was the BAD FOOD - although it was reasonably priced, it just didn't taste good. After going through some appetizers, including their crab cakes, we decided to go no further. Same goes for the drinks - strawberry margaritas were watered down and did not taste of strawberry - not sure what happened there. I truly believe that if improvements in that area were made, this place would hit my top go-to list. Definitely worth a try!Kid-friendliness: Definitely a great family place!Wheelchair accessibility: Once you're on the pier, thia place is wheelchair accessible.

Strategic location on the legendary Santa Monica Pier. Clearly very commercial and touristy due to the location but all in all very pleasant. The beer served to us, a very flavored IPA, was truly delicious!

I've been to Santa Monica many times and never visited this restaurant until today. It has amazing views and great service! The food is okay. The burgers are great! The fish tacos are small and only come with two. The Cesar salad was big and good! Worth it for the view!!

I flew to Los Angeles for two months from Saudi Arabia and tried many restaurants and they were all bad except for this restaurant, literally the best restaurant in Los Angeles, and the staff and chefs are all excellent.

This place looks like the best place to eat on the Santa Monica Pier and the prices were not bad at all. Very cute place and amazing service. We ordered a fish and chips and then a po-boy that we thought were pretty decent. The restrooms could use a little improvement but that is all.

Arriving for brunch, it’s more of a breakfastNot much on the plate it's pretty average food rating the photo speaks for itselfThe servers are all very nice and the place at the entrance to the pier is necessarily symbolic

The service was great! Our waitress was very polite and welcoming! The food was also great. I got a big bacon burger, and it was delicious besides falling apart a little bit. The bathrooms, however, were a little gross, and the way around was a little confusing. Other than that, we got the second floor with an amazing view and had a great time!

I went with a friend and our children! The service was meh, food meh, atmosphere meh. But I mean I didn't expect much to be honest. I don't know if I'd return but I think if you're in need of a quick bite and don't have high expectations, give it try.

Was open on Christmas day for lunch which was great for us visiting. Food was overall average. Service was good and all items came out as ordered. Very cute interior space with a small patio seating area as well.Parking: We parked in the beach paid parking lot and walked up the stairs to the pier.

The restaurant staff were outside showing menu and luring customers into the restaurant. My kids wanted pizza but the two restaurants next door don't offer pizza, so we decided to try this restaurant. On the kid's menu, they only have chicken fingers and cheese pizza for $6.95. I asked if I can pay for pepperoni on kid's pizza and they said no, so we had to order a large pepperoni pizza to share. Overall, the food is just okay.
