The surf restaurant in santa monica is a great place to eat, before or after a walk to venice beach or a ride in the park. many exquisite options to eat and to drink, and a very friendly staff

Seared Ahi Tuna Salad and (Spicy) Bloody Mary on special. Very good! Quick & attentive service, too.

Don't know why the other tips are so negative. Nice staff, food arrived quickly for a table of 5 and a relaxed setting.

This place has the best happy hour and deff beats spending double for the same thing anywhere else on the pier!

Beer was cold and fish and chips great. We had a party of 7 and had great service.

The onion strings & shrimp and lobster bisque were great! The fish n chips are very bland though.

This place has loads of potential but falls flat. If you're looking for a good meal you may want to look elsewhere. Want to stop here for a drink and some great people watching? This is a place to be.

The Big Kahuna burger is where it's at! Hits the spot and tastes AMAZING!

best place to chill out and have beers is in the back porch

Don't get the ribs. They're not tender enough. Tastes okay enough though.

The clam chowder and crab cakes rock
BettyFebruary 15, 2016
The service at this place is terrible. Delayed taking order, then we waited for food for almost 30 min. Server was rude. We walked out. Do not recommend.
PeriMarch 13, 2013
Not worth the money. Food was not great and neither was the service. Bartender was stuck up and apparently didn't like his job. Go to bubba gump just across the way. At least they have a personality!

Chips were stale, hamburgers overcooked, margaritas tasted watered done.
Serene KamalSeptember 29, 2013
Price sounded great but our drinks were tiny & the plastic shot glass are definitely not an ounce. Took forever to get drinks.
Deonne FranciscoAugust 13, 2011
Calamari and onion strings are yummmm!!
Chris PundApril 26, 2011
Food was good, service was decent. Not crowded on a Monday night during happy hour so there were plenty of servers.
Jerett BlaskeyFebruary 19, 2011
Come see John Huldt play guitar here. Excellent!
JSpaceJanuary 30, 2011
Good prices for seafood compared to it's neighbors, but the beer was expensive and flat - bad combo!
Jackie WilliamsonFebruary 9, 2014
The shrimp and lobster bisque is yummy. Everything else we had was absolutely terrible. Go somewhere else!
Максим БарановскийOctober 8, 2015
Don't take crab cakes - they are absolutely tasteless
Frances BorgonaMarch 3, 2011

Aslin CassidyApril 15, 2012

22oz primo beer is only $5
Iain TurnbullApril 15, 2012
Run! Don't eat here. Food lacks anything remotely close to flavor. The person DJing must have been stuck in the 1990s
Max GoldbergNovember 21, 2010
see The Weasels!
Jeff PalermoMarch 27, 2010
Calimari was exquisite
Andrea ValverdeJanuary 25, 2012
Warning! You are about to eat here! Do not.
Jodie HackettMarch 16, 2010
Not very good service had to go in to get my refills myself and also the check. The food is good though
