Let's be honest, it's super pricey, but also extravagant and wonderful. Great service, extraordinary food, and assuming you sit where you can see the beach, a great view! Went there for my birthday and would do it again. If you're like me, you will want to donate to a charity after you eat there, just to help yourself feel better for spending so much on the food. But it would be worth it!
OMG! Worth the drive! Love the view and the food. My granddaughter loved it. I miss Santa Call Monica pier from my childhood. I also came here when I was not quite 30 and this is my first time back. Would love to have a house on the beach here the pier is to die for all the rides and the people are absolutely amazing
Little bit more on the expensive side, but the food and service was good. The clam chowder was so fresh and delicious. However, the Lobster Mac 'N Cheese with Butter Poached Lobster & Lemon Breadcrumbs was a little tasteless and bland on my end, but they weren't cheap on the lobster which was tasty. I feel like the Mac 'N Cheese can definitely be improved to match the price of the dish since it was pretty expensive. I've been seated on the inside and outside and I definitely recommend the inside seating more if you want faster service and better view. The outdoor seating were nice as well, but service is a little slower.
