    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    Price sounded great but our drinks were tiny & the plastic shot glass are definitely not an ounce. Took forever to get drinks.

    Food was good, service was decent. Not crowded on a Monday night during happy hour so there were plenty of servers.

    Good prices for seafood compared to it's neighbors, but the beer was expensive and flat - bad combo!

    Run! Don't eat here. Food lacks anything remotely close to flavor. The person DJing must have been stuck in the 1990s
