Great spot to watch sports. Plenty of screens. Surprisingly great food. Garlic wings hit the spot. Loved the falafel and avocado salad. Cold draft beers ideal for watching game. Crowd was cheering and into the action.

Food was decent but the service was bad. We sat down and were handed menus, waited 5 mins and an employee aggressively told us that we needed to order food before 10, it was about 9:35. We said we were still waiting on our server. When he …

The vibe here is casual,nothing fancy, but perfect if you want a quick bite and drink. There is a wrap around bar with bar stools and hooks to hang a purse or jacket underneath the bar. There are lots of large screens for sports. …

Food is alright. Small menu, nice view. Service was terrible. Server only came once to ask if we were ready, and took our drink and order all at once. Never showed again.Was serviced more from the buss boy. Had to get another server to get the check. Server arrived to charge us with an attitude.

Taco Tuesday for lunch is very good. I took my family for my wife’s birthday here. The tacos were delicious and even my 3 year old ate one and enjoyed it (plain). The location is perfect and the service is very friendly and attentive. Will come back.

We went in the afternoon for lunch. It’s close enough to the beach for a nice view, but not close to consider it beachfront. The food was excellently prepared, well seasoned, and tasted great. Everyone got something different and everyone …

A perfect place for a lazy Sunday brunch. Right on Ocean Blvd with bottomless mimosas (for 90 min) and a spicy tangy bloody mary. Say less. They don't rest on their location. Food is flavorful and filling. We had the muscles with fries. You …

The Santa Monica Whaler was a disaster from the very start. To be fair, we probably should’ve left when we walked in. The atmosphere is by far the most basic, uninviting and plain, to the point of looking unfinished. There are random …

We were really disappointed with the service during our visit. Our server, who had glasses and visible tattoos, barely acknowledged us from the moment we sat down, while she was noticeably warm and chatty with other tables. It was …
