- MMichaelAustin •15 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe chose Meat at Ocean for our family celebration. The team from top to bottom was extraordinary and exceeded our expectations. They were attentive without being bothersome, personal yet professional, and anticipated our every need. A special shoutout to our server Shawn who was fantastic!!! The food was a good as ever (this place never disappoints on flavor) and the drinks were fantastic. Whenever we’re in Santa Monica, you can find us (or meet us) at Meat on Ocean!!More infoMeat On OceanPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Santa Monica•4.7

- RRachelLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 13, 2025We absolutely loved our dinner at FIA. The one thing they got wrong was that I specifically called to notify them that it was my husband’s birthday and that we would need a high chair. Then when we arrived they were not prepared with a high chair and also asked us if we were celebrating anything special. Not the end of the world but still seemed odd when they said they would make sure these notes were passed on to our server. I have high expectations for more costly restaurants. None the less the food was great. Only drawback was that the music was loud and when we asked if they could turn it down a bit the hostess gave a sassy remark about other people expect it loud.More infoFiaPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Santa Monica•4.7
