    Jun 20, 2025 - Aug 31, 2025
    Loreto Summer Pop-Up at Calabra Santa Monica Proper Hotel – A Coastal Culinary Experience Launching June 19 | Thursday–Sunday
| 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM This summer, Calabra welcomes Loreto, Baja-inspired seafood masters, for a sun-soaked culinary pop-up on the terrace and lounge at Calabra. Dive into a refined crudo bar and bold tostadas, all curated with signature Loreto flavor—bright, spicy, and full of coastal character. Savor seasonal specials like the Atún Picante, or go big with the Toda la Bahía Tower, featuring oysters, sashimi, ceviches, and more—a lavish celebration of the sea. Don’t miss the Bang Bang! tostada with rock shrimp and pickled onion, or the vibrant Magdalena ceviche with yellowtail, dragonfruit, and avocado salsa. Whether you're basking on the terrace lounge or catching up with friends over cocktails, this daytime pop-up pairs perfectly with Santa Monica’s sun and skyline.

    This was one of the top 5 best restaurants I have dined at. The staff were incredible, very attentive and kind. The ambiance was perfect, we had a reservation at sunset and we were on our honeymoon so it really set the tone. The heaters are nice since it was the evening and a bit chilly. The food had a lot of flavor. You could tell there was a chef behind the meal. We ordered the salmon ceviche, Greek fries, baba ghanoush, chicken entree, and the pistachio baklava for dessert. My husband is Arabic and said he approves.

    I thought all seating was outdoors on patio. Didn’t specify when making reservation and ended up in terrible small table in back corner of resto indoors next to a noisy large group. Completely killed the vibe for me ~ really wanted to be on patio and hostess said she’d move us over. Never did.
