    My brother is a huge fan of salsa dancing. He lives in North Wales and came over to stay with me last year. As it's outside it was so much cooler than the other clubs nearby. Great location.

    This special are great and plenty of food. The prices are great and the service is equally good. I've been here twice for lunch and would like to come back for dinner some day.

    Really great food! Sushi is small in portions but, quality & taste are there. More laid back crowd & scene than say, their Pasadena location. Some staff may seem pretentious of you dress like at home.

    Met the bartender Kristy at Brittania's. She told me about this place. Not only was bartender super cool and friendly but food was AMAZING! Check out upstairs patio. This is a Santa Monica hidden gem!

    LA-ers are spoiled. Outdoor space in a bar is something NY-ers absolutely cherish. Wokcano has 'em all beat (at least in Santa Monica). Head all the way upstairs for the best outdoor dance floor.

    This is a cool place to spend a night in Santa Monica. They have a large outdoor patio area that is hidden away a couple of stories up in between buildings. 1/2 of draft beer for happy hours too!

    Love the moo goo gai pan. The Peking duck is very good. Outdoor courtyard is great for special events.

    This is, hands down, the best place for salsa on the Westside. It's on Tuesday nights, with lessons from 8-10pm and dancing until 2am, for only $5 cover.

    I think the high ratings are due to the outdoor patio. Certainly not the sushi. It was terrible. Our sushi was either made hours ahead of time or the worst sushi rice I've ever had. Very disappointed.

    Food was pretty bad. The atmosphere is nice, and perhaps drinks are good (haven't tried any), but based on the food alone -wouldn't recommend it.
