Rebecca RogersMay 3, 2011If I were an old, leathery skinned mafia fella, I'd probably conduct some business in the booth in the back.
Chez Jay's motto: 'Peanut shells on the floor or you're out the door!' :)
Martin MartinJanuary 12, 2015Food was either bland or very salty. Prices were high for no apparent reason. Wait staff was very rude.

"One of the few remaining original Santa Monica spots. They’ve done a good job preserving its soul and local appeal. Great for people watching, a cold beer, and good bar food! Exceptional staff!"
