- JJamesLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHad a great Saturday night here , got the prime ribeye chef choice on cook , came out great! Side of asparagus so fresh and juicy also got a side of mac and cheese which had the best cheesy profile. I also got the choice of 3 sauces which weren’t needed because the steak was perfectly cooked but for added experience it was well worth it. 10/10 would recommend!More infoMeat On OceanPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Santa Monica•4.7

- MMaxwellSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great experience for Valentine’s Day. The servers were very attending and the restaurant had nice ambiance. I especially liked that they offered a purchase of a dozen roses before the reservation, which allowed me to surprise my partner. As for food, everything we had was delicious. Definitely recommend the Spicy Salmon Tartare Cones, Handmade Cavatelli, and Truffle Filet.More infoFiaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Santa Monica•4.6
