Many a year has passed since I was last here but I was so happy to find that not much has changed. My meal of choice every time I was there were the Sand Dabs. Everything about them brought back many memories of the times there. Same environment and the same great taste. I was happy to find it still open, it truly is a Santa Monica icon

Absolutely the best cooked food I've had in over 3 years! Apart from my childhood favorite restaurant, this place has been the best. Stopped in randomly and was met by, hilary who was beautiful, gracious and atentative...stop here! You won't be disappointed!

If you're looking for cool vibes, a local dive experience and simple Italian-inspired fare, visit Chez Jay near the Santa Monica Pier. It's a local landmark and I was delighted to learn that some of the servers have been working here for 20+ years! Chez Jay is a fun place to grab a drink at the bar, but I highly recommend staying for dinner. Don't expect super smiley or clingy customer service. If you need something? Just flag your server down! Servers here aren't the hovering type. The menu is delightfully down-to-earth and I loved the experience. It's the kind of place that gives you a starter salad and a bread basket. Their scalloped potatoes are incredible! It's a petite venue, so not the best place to bring a huge group. Take your time here and support a little piece of local history.

Nice local dive bar with good steaks and stiff drinks

We came here because my brother had seen it on a TV show. Not knowing what to expect, we all had steaks. oh my goodness! I can honestly say that it was probably the best steak I've ever had! It's a very small restaurant, so be prepared for a wait.... but its totally worth it!!
