There's just not many places you can go to sit literally in the sand on the beach. The food was incredibly delicious. The staff was well trained, fun, relaxed, and kind. They carry my favorite wine by the glass. No reservations...show up and wait. Their texting notifications system for when your table is ready is outstanding. Go early (right when they open), put your name in, take a short walk on the beach and then enjoy your meal under shade umbrellas (that tilt for the sun). 🌊⛱️

We had a beautiful lunch here a few days ago. Parking was easy, sat outside under an umbrella and enjoyed the beach view. The Back to the Beach Burger was delicious. Can't wait to come back next time we're driving through!

Fantastic place right on the Santa Monica state beach. The place has a cool vibe and the location is just amazing, the staff is welcoming and friendly. We ordered black bean veggie burger with crispy fries on the side and a vegetarian California omelette with salad as side. The portions are good for two people to share. Burger was good, fries were great. California omelette was one of the best omelets I have ever had. The salad dressing sauces they provided on the side were fabulous. Also, the jam and butter they gave along side bread were extremely rich in taste. Upon our request, they gave us sour dough bread. Having quality food with the view of Santa Monica state beach and sound of waves made it a great experience, would definitely come back.

Great location for a lazy Sunday lounging, Brekky or Brunching. Be warned, there’s a minimum of HOUR wait on a great sunny day to get an outdoor table! Almost everything on the Brekky menu has cheese, (for cheese fans)! Those with pets also be warned, you need to sit your pets on your lap during your entire dining session.
