Came on a Sunday night and service and food was terrible. We can a few weeks ago on a Saturday and had a completely different experience. Food was so expensive, couldn’t justify what we spent this time for the under cooked rubber like chicken and other dishes. Taking this off our list, sadly.

This restaurant is very elegant with amazing views of the Santa Monica Beach. We were there for their 3 course brunch and the food was just as amazing! We will definitely be back again!

I came in from out of town and wanted to take my cousin for dinner to a nice place on the beach. I asked for a table outside. Instead we were brought in to a claustrophobic room that felt utterly generic - like a Denny's. There was another room but apparently, our request was not honored. The waitress was really terrible. She greeted us by interrupting a conversation and then snapping at my cousin. We then waited for an hour for our appetizers, which were fine but nothing special. The bread service was silly - not unique as promised. The hummus was fine - not worth the price. I ordered the salmon entree and asked it to be cooked medium - not raw inside. It came (another hour later after our appetizers) and was completely raw inside - and not hot, just unevenly warm and cold. My cousin's meal was also cold. I sent the salmon back and my cousin and daughter had completely finished their meals by the time mine came back. It had been replated - without the vegetables - I had to ask to "restore" those. And the salmon was still raw. Our waitress was nowhere to be found so the hostess came by and I asked to simply take the salmon away - it was so late and everyone else at my table was finished with their meals. The hostess was very nice - she brought over a complimentary dessert and comped some wine. But it was all-in-all a super disappointing experinece for a Mina restaurant. I can't recommend.

No complaints. Everything was perfect. I still need seven more characters for OpenTable to accept the review.

The food for Thanksgiving was very good and the quantity of food was also good. The only negative was I couldn’t find the front door where valet parking was because my navigation took me to the rear door

Wow!!!!!! What an amazing meal we had…. The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous and wine selection was incredible! But the show stopper was the Egypt Experience food we had….. the flavors brought us to Egypt Mediterranean paradise. And the quantities were so plentiful! I would recommend getting the experience because of the eating style “family” serving dishes for the authentic experience and to be able to taste all the different dishes and flavors of the region. Hats off to chef Michael Mina! Bravo. We will be back!
