    The ambiance we nice, we were seated within 10 minutes from our reservations & the staff was friendly. Our waitress seemed rushed and didn't offer/ask if we wanted any drinks or starters before taking off with our order. We had to call her over to order drinks, then again, for everything else we needed. She didn't stop and check on her own. The food we ordered from the regular menu was all delicious. However, the pre-fixed Thanksgiving dinner was sadly disappointing. Not only did it arrive luke warm, but I chose dark meat only, and when my plate arrived, it had a tiny scoop of dark with a few slabs of white meat. It had very little gravy & the stuffing was not good. I didn't send it back because I wasn't able to find our waitress after other staff had brought our plates, and I didn't want to keep my family waiting. Overall, good place for a date/ dinner, but not for Thanksgiving dinner.

    The food was so tasty... It is very pricey, but so is every restaurant in Santa Monica. The food was good, it's actually worth it at Meat on Ocean ! The cocktails were delicious and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The only thing I didnt love is that now they charge for their bread...

    The clam chowder was excellent, but the rest of the food was just ok. The steak was underwhelming for the price (I went for an aged ribeye). If you go, just go for one of the regular steaks on the menu and get it blackened or one of the other styles, and be sure to get a sauce with it.

    Steaks are 10/10…no more words needed other than you need to try for yourself. Mac and cheese needs crispier bacon More Parmesan on the cauliflower More raspberry sauce on the chocolate cake

    My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience celebrating our anniversary together at Meat on Ocean. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and both the hostess and our server was so sweet to wish us a happy anniversary. The food was amazing, the service excellent and we had a WONDERFUL time! We cannot wait to go back!

    Really good steakhouse that doesn’t try to be overly fancy. Meat quality was there and cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes are great as a side too
