Arrived earlier than my reservation and they were incredibly accommodating. Had a great table on their patio, which has amazing views of the ocean and awesome people watching too. 1st time to the restaurant so we had no idea about the menu but the server was prompt and attentive, took the extra time to explain and recommend. Happy Hour is awesome with fantastic prices. The food is unbelievable with over the top flavor. Kudos to Blue Plate Oysterette and when back in Santa Monica, I will visit again.

Hugo’s was a pleasure to brunch at. The only thing I might change is that while it clearly caters to a health conscious crowd, the food has that slight tinge of “healthy” if you know what I mean. It’s really good, but I have made healthy food that you would never believe is good for you and for at least what I chose, I was quite aware that it was a healthy choice with every bite. That being said, I still would absolutely go there again and try something different. It’s completely possible that I just chose something not completely satisfying to my palate. Everything looked beautiful. The staff was superb.

Valet parking service could have been better especially with the expensive car I had. I gave him the keys and he just parked it literally two spots down, it would be better to have it off street parking. That's what you would expect in addition to the website and the price that he stated doesn't reflect equally. The website said less and I was charged more although I still gave him a $10 tip. As for the 20% charge realistically if you're going to charge 20% then make sure they've earned the 20%. I understand cost of living and everything in general has gone up, but then your standard shouldn't lower if you're going to charge more.

Really great service and ambiance! Started with the cauliflower, burrata and the most delicious grilled octopus. Entrees were the steak frites, tagliatelle mushrooms with side of grilled mushrooms. My husband ordered the halibut and that was the only thing that want good. Wine list is great and they have special deals on bottles with a wine shop. I would go back. Waitress was amazing and friendly.

Had dinner at Kaviar with my husband and son. Jesse the manager was helping us out throughout the time we were there. Jesse provided recommendations for sake and beer, both were perfect choices. For the food, we ordered, sashimi, gyoza, shrimp and lobster rolls and the wagyu tacos. Everything we ate was Superb! Not a miss on anything. The ambiance, music fit just right, thanks Jesse for your hospitality! We can't wait to come back again!

Hidden gem for Mexican food. Walking in I thought this place was a typical bar; tv screens and loud music. It was a bar, plus more! When the Micheladas arrived in large cups I knew we were in for something special. Our appetizers arrived- empanadas and tacos enchilados, they weren’t skimping on the meat. Next the molcajete filled with ceviche and the camarones pacifico, I’ve never seen shrimp that large. If your a seafood lover you’ve got to try this place. The service was good and the food packed a punch of favor. We will be coming back!!!

When making reservations, be informed that if you decide to eat inside it is in the upstairs bar area. The music is loud and more for the younger patrons. That aside, the food was great!! Completely made up for the loud atmosphere. Next time it will be on the patio or wait downstairs for a table.

Definitely hidden location at the ground floor of some hotels and other complexes, we sat outside and had some appetizers and a drink before heading to the Pantages. The street has quite a few homeless encampments but I’m not sure if you can really get away from that these days. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was tasty, the tartare and sweet potato were good but not as filling or plentiful. The service was great and the outside patio was cute.
