Steakhouse
Located on the corner of Ocean and Broadway in Santa Monica, Meat On Ocean a.k.a. MOO is a meat-centric restaurant with breathtaking views of the Pacific.

This is not your traditional world-class steakhouse though. The dry-aged meats on this menu are much more adventurous, and the Charcuterie Bar is one-of-a-kind. Overlooking the blue SoCal sky, MOO is the perfect setting for a date night or a catch-up session with friends.

    Several of us have eaten here before. It was the first time for our guest from Tokyo. He was very impressed. First, our server Emily was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. Kudos to Emily! We had a charcuterie board, clam chowder, Ceasar salad, filets, ribeye, several sides and a variety of desserts. Everything was excellent as expected. Definitely highly recommend MOO.

    I love this restaurant, my favorite for a steak. Service is always amazing, unfortunately this time our waiter was very rude and impatient. Looking forward to coming back with a different member of the wait staff. Thank you.

    Great experience! The food was great, all while, providing a ‘second home experience’ with punctual service! Our server was knowledgeable of the menu, and offered my girlfriend and I wide array of options to choose from. Quality food & service for a great night out!

    First there is no question that the dry aged rub was very good but paying $89 for it was a bit much. Didn’t know it would be so much as you get a price per pound on top of the original steak price. Then they have the audacity to charge me $1.50 for blue cheese olives in my martini. That was ridiculous! They don’t tell you that nor should they charge considering an olive should come with it. Other high end steak houses I frequent certainly don’t do that. Not cool. I also feel that when you order an expensive bottle of wine with a meal like this the server should be pouring your wine. Sounds snobby but it’s what’s done in every steak house. It’s a service that’s appreciated and special being catered to when spending $160 per person. My appetizer was forgotten too.

    We were in town for the weekend and decided we wanted a nice Mother’s Day dinner. We tried to make a reservation in person but we were told by a heavy set woman at the front desk that they were fully committed, rude and dismissive but we liked the look of the place. I looked on open table and immediately made a reservation. The service was terrible from the waiter. We sat for at least 10 minutes until anyone came over to help us. We were a party of 3 and finally we got 2 waters and my glass was left empty. Waiter looked frustrated and delivered poor service throughout the evening. We finally ordered our drinks and waited for them patiently. We were now there for 40 minutes and no drinks. I don’t want to bore you with all the details but long story short, food ok, service was poor. We only ordered 2 entrees several sides, and salad because my daughter was not hungry. The final price $324.00, what a joke. The kicker was the waiter coming over and saying, we don’t add any tips or fees to the bill so don’t forget. WTF was that, tacky and uncalled for. Unfortunately I will not be returning and do not recommend. Get your service together !!!!

    My family went to Meat On Ocean for a birthday and Mother’s Day celebration and it was wonderful! The food was delicious. We were accidentally given 2 free desserts and chose the croissant bread pudding, which was amazing! The restaurant is very loud so it is hard to hear. They have valet for $17 but it is a little unorganized. They told us to call from inside the restaurant when we were getting ready to leave, but it was so loud they couldn’t hear us. We then had to wait quite a bit for the car to be pulled up - a little too long for $17 in my opinion. Other than that, our experience was great!

    Food was excellent. Great chairs but they stuck us (party of 9) in between TWO wait stations (I had asked for table away from wait stations; guessed they showed me), which staff slammed dirty dishes upon over and over again. Very loud; could use more acoustic tiles. Wait staff was great.

    This is my second time that I invited my friends. Though I always requested booths the greeter hosts don’t acknowledge and never available. I’d waited for long time to get seated, my first time I tipped the host $50 to get my birth, second time I am just hating myself not remembering how terrible were their front hosts. Never go there again.

    It was our 1st time and it was a disaster for mother's day celebration .The $98 steak was cold also the side dish mushroom and in addition they charged us each blue cheese olive with the martini that they charge $19.50 additionally they added on the top $1.50 so each olive so do the math each drink had 3 olives x$1.50=$4.50 just for the olive ARE you kidding me on the top of $19.50 NOT even Mastro's or houston's does that its so tacky and unprofessional .Only thing we were happy with the waitress who served us her name was Sharell . I am in hospitality business never experienced this in 30 years . OUR Total bill was over $450 including tip for very small party of 4

    Really nice ambiance and good service. My steak was overcooked and had to be taken back. The manager came by and was very nice apologizing for the mishap. I received a %15 discount and a free glass of wine. So overall it was a good experience and I will return.

    Great meal overall for Dine LA. Our server forgot to put in one of our appetizers but took it off the check no problem. Food was great. My filet was slightly over seared on the outside but overall cook of the meat was great. We enjoyed everything, from the cocktails and wine to the food and excellent dessert. Dine LA menu was affordable and plenty of food.

    I have never left a bad restaurant review in my life, but this place deserves it. Pretty hard to mess up steak frites but this restaurant did it. 80 dollar steak overcooked, fries that tasted like they weren’t properly prepared, and a mediocre salad. Like I said, I have never left a bad review before so realize that I’m not a difficult or picky person. At this price point, however, the restaurant should treat its customers better.
