Santa Monica is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Santa Monica follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Delicious food and great service! We ate in their outdoor dining area, it was great! My husband and I tried their Blackberry Lemonade and it was amazing! I tried their Wasabi Shrimp Wrap with the Watermelon Salad... DELISH!

Absolutely fantastic lunch! Curry cauliflower, swordfish sandwich with fries and homemade catchup was on point! Asparagus with shrimp salad was out of this world. Super friendly staff, excellent service. Local, fresh, chill vibe - love this restaurant!

This place is amazing! We ordered our food and it was insane! The owner was telling us all about the food and that he gets most ingredients from the farmers market! They also have their own ketchup and the regular Hienz. If you go here the fish and chips are amazing and also get that amazing homemade ketchup! In the photos is the fish tacos!

Tucked away inside the mall, this is my friend’s favorite restaurant and I’m so glad I got to try it with her! There are some really interesting items on the menu, everything is fresh and made from scratch. Friendly staff. Cool story as the restaurant evolved from a concept by neighbors passionate about food. Seasonal items on rotation, skewers and salads were killer. Prices were reasonable too, highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

This place feels so tucked away that it almost seems abandoned from the outside, but don't let the secluded vibe fool you-it's a clean, pleasant, and lively spot, especially on weekends. I was genuinely impressed by the portions and the fair pricing, especially given how generous they are with the sides. The abundance of fresh vegetables was a highlight. The tomato salad was a completely new and refreshing experience for meβ€”a rare find in local restaurants lately! But the star of the show was the fish sauce; it was absolutely delicious and actually reminded me of my mother's cooking. Highly recommend if you want a quiet spot with food that feels like home.
