Well the place is small. No one greets you at the door. No one says hi or welcome. Me and my sister drove all the way from Santa Clarita Valley. I made reservations the night before and told them I had a groupon. The groupon is a joke. It shows a steak and Lobster on the plate. It says $25 for $40 worth of steak and fresh seafood for two or more. It gives you the impression that two people get the steak and lobster for $40.00. You can't get one steak and lobster for that. It was my sisters birthday. She had never been to Santa Monica. When we get to the door, there is a sign that says, " Sorry, we only accept Groupons on Sunday-Wednesday" I think. I tried to call them from outside. Phone was ringing and no one was picking up!. I did talk to someone about it and they honored it. The lady bartender was really cool. The waitress didn't give us too much attention. She sat in a corner on her cell phone.When we got to the parking we looked for Valet but no one was there. When we were leaving the place, some guy taps on our window. He says, $5. I said sorry we use the last of cash inside. He said no $5. to park here! We were like what? He points to a sign off to the right of us. Honestly we did not see that sign. There was no one there when we pulled in. The prices were so high. We had our hearts set on The steak and seafood. I let my sister get The steak and Shrimp and I got a salad. The outback has the same Steak and Lobster for $20.00 with free parking! The food is good there though.
