Capo is always special. The ambience is great, and the food and service are excellent. Our most recent visit was memorable for the uni pasta and the Bryan Flannery Dry Aged Kansas City Steak. The steak was among the best I have enjoyed in Los Angeles and was so big that I ate half for dinner and half the next morning for breakfast. Appreciation to our server Roger for the recommendation. Highly recommended. More

We love this restaurant. It's our "go to" for family birthdays and holidays. Every time we go, we talk about when we can go back. We all have our favorite dishes and it would be fun to go more often and try different things. Everything we've had at this restaurant is delicious. The service is outstanding. The dessert cart is amazing and so much fun. More

Enjoyed our "happy hour" priced lunch here - we had the very tasty pork meatball and chips w/dip followed by both a prosciutto and a sausage slice of pizza - amazing flavor for both toppings and crust - efficient and friendly service... the burgers and sandwiches we saw going to other tables looked pretty amazing too.

Melisse is an amazing dinner experience across the board. Our server extraordinaire, Douglas, was informative, professional, funny and a perfect addition to our celebration. The food was incomparable and presented with knowledge and pride. The restaurant is expensive but rather worth it. More

I love lobster. My friends and I shared their lobster roll, lobster Mac n cheeese, and lobster tacos. All of them were so yummy and on top of that, every stuff was sweet and friendly. I will be back for sure. More
OpenTable Diner -
Excellent French cuisine. The duck and trout dishes were outstanding. Wine selection solid. Really a pleasure in this generally inflated, disappointing market, and a perfect thing to do before attending a theater event next door. More
OpenTable Diner -
Can't understand why this place is so quiet on a Saturday--great ambiance, excellent service, great food! Great selection of menu items, but not overwhelming. Apps: Cheese board was great. Hamachi crudo outstanding. Entrees: My gnocchi was superb. Short rib great. All entrees agreed were great across the board. Craft cocktail I had was delicious. Had the donuts for dessert--very fresh and tasty with nice dipping sauces. The hotel is beautiful, with great views--especially if you get an outside table. Should be more people visiting this very very good restaurant!!! Value for portion size is excellent too. More

We went to Water Grill for a relaxing Sunday (late) lunch to celebrate the holidays. From the moment we walked in the door everything was spectacular. You just can't get better raw seafood - oysters, shrimp, crab claws anywhere else. John, our server, was very attentive and helpful without being overbearing and we were lucky to sit by the windows on a particularly beautiful day. More

Our waitress just didn’t care about serving us More

Good and service were on point! Managers Peter and Jeremy very hospitable. More
OpenTable Diner -
The ambiance is important to me. This place gets the highest score for that. Since I brought a friend who prefers small portions it all worked out just fine. Otherwise the portions are dainty, will be perfect for a first date when no one is interested in food as much as they would on a fifth. The biggest success was a misterious birthday dessert - light and delicately sweet. More
OpenTable Diner -
Great food.. Server was awesome. Unfortunately when I arrived, the host was so involved in her phone, she never noticed me, therefore I located the table of the guest I was dining with. More

Plan Check itself is amazing! This location could probably use another server or two on the floor though. Having 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon in Santa Monica doesn’t seem like the best idea. More

Nice Place! Good value for a steakhouse...my only complaint... at the end of dinner I ask for decaf coffee... they were out! That is just pure laziness not to have a staple item available... they couldn’t have rune down to Starbucks and bought a pound of decaf???. Really lame.... More

OpenTable Diner -
It would have been really good but I found the waiter slow with service for our table. He made us wait for a long time before getting our orders. I was the birthday celebrant and my guests kept asking me if we were going to order dinner. We were a group of 14, mostly Santa Monica residents who have not been to the 1212 restaurant. In that aspect, I was not impressed. More

I booked a reservation for high tea. It was confirmed and a reminder sent that the tea was confirmed for the next day. We got there and no reservation. Miguel and the chef did everything possible to make the tea menu at the last minute. Everything was deliciious Because of the mixup there were no scones but they threw in a free gkass of chanpagne to compensate. I appreciates their efforts to save rhe tea. Any olace trying That hard deserves a 2nd chance. More
OpenTable Diner -
Food was very good. Had 2 salads and they were fresh, just the right amount of dressing, good combination for the shrimp, avocado and grapefruit salad. Woulde been nice to have a bit of bread or cracker bread. Needs a large-size option for sparkling water. Service attentive. Not able to gauge sound level as restaurant at Thursday lunch was not full. More

Had my official first date here. It was an awesome fun experience. It is pricey but well worth it. I would recommend this experience at least once. I will definitely be back. Service was excellent. The food was good. Depending on what you like. The whole eating in the dark experience was well worth trying. My date and I had a great time! You got to use your senses. We totally recommend! More
OpenTable Diner -
Normally I like this restaurant and the service but, was a little disappointed my last visit. Food was great as expected though service was lacking. The waiter did not seem to be interested in giving me good service as I watch him do much better with other patrons. This will not stop me from going again or recommending this excellent restaurant. The maitre d was gracious and helped make up for the lack of attention from the waiter. The staff is usually excellent but, not to me that outing. I still say go enjoy the food it is worth it. I hope to have a better experience next time. More

About a month ago I tried Sunnin's Westwood restaurant for the first time, and I wrote frankly that while my friend enjoyed her dinner, I did not. In particular, I found the baba ganoush tasteless. I learned while enjoying a delicious dinner with 2 other excited diners that "Grandma", whose recipes serve as the basis for the cooking, had been in Lebanon for the past month. I was offered a taste of what baba ganoush tastes like when Grandma's back, and it was spectacular. So I'm a big fan now of Sunnin. Wonderful service, lovely family runs the place, and the food is so interesting and delicious, we pretty much pigged out :) More

The food is always great at Benihana, but I was charged for an item without knowing the pricing or an explanation of such. My son likes having his birthday at the restaurant but I think I’ll have to find a different restaurant in the future. More

The Rooster is the best new restaurant on the Westside. The food is delicious and choices exceptionally varied from small plates to entrees.
