The Courtyard Kitchen

We must have been at a different restaurant than others reviewers. Our service was rushed as our total dining time was only 39 min. In fact, my partner literally had the next to last bite of our starter on her fork when the sever swooped in and replaced her pate with the main and disappeared. OK, the started were mixed, with the beet berrada being averaged vs those we have had elsewhere but the pear berrada was excellent even if the pears were still hard. We both had the branzino plate. First while one plate was well composed, my plate had a few leaves of spinach not even visible under the fish. The fish was not skinned (a problem when you are going for a stack effect) but the skin was inconsistently cook - some parts crispy, some parts still “fishy”. Just not a good dining experience for us given the other dining options in Santa Monica.

Spectacular brunch spot right on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. Already a delightful street, the outdoor patio adjacent to it is perfect. The interior is gorgeous. The food? Just flat-out scrumptious. A must.

The best thing about this place was the service! Andre is an exceptional server, attentive and very personable. We had a lovely evening. The food is good, but I would say the portions are a little small. I had a delicious kale salad but it was lacking one of the ingredients- walnuts- I think there were only 3 or 4 in the entire salad.

A very sparkling fun time! The recommendations were On Point ♡ The hibiscus cocktail felt like a party plus!
