    The building, that dates 1925, used to be a bank. The decorations keeps traces from the bank, such as some drawers, and the ceiling. Good looking and friendly staff. And the food is great! Must visit

    The lobster nik niks are so yummy. The Bloody Mary with some spice is perfect for brunch, but my favorite is the free sea salt chocolate chip cookies at the end. Make sure you grab a couple ;))

    Try the fried chicken sandwich...crispy with a great spicy tangy sauce. Brussel sprout salad also very good. And the chocolate chip cookie is icing on the cake at the end. A must stop place!

    I came here specifically for the mac & cheese and I was NOT disappointed. Might be the best I've had anywhere. But it's quite heavy (and generously portioned), so expect to leave with leftovers.

    Great way to spend a couple hours on a Sunday. Order several somethings for everyone to share. Keep ordering until you're full. Half off cocktails twelve to seven. Out of town guests love it!

    It can get crowded even on week nights, but they have GREAT happy hour deals! 50% off cocktails until 7pm. Food is good, too. You can add an egg to your hamburger. Need I say more?!

    I loved this happy hour place. It was rather loud and I had to get close to my husband to converse, but what a fun vibe. I recommend this place highly, especially if you're young. :D

    Get the Kale and Quinoa salad with a side of Salmon and just die and go to heaven already. It's the best, healthiest thing I have ever eaten. Every bit was better than the last. Incredible!

    Their misfit burger and fried chicken sandwich were both on the salty side, but delicious! And the complimentary sea salt chocolate chip cookie was so good!!

    Not only is this place gorgeous, but the food is excellent! I had lobster & prime rib sliders, the prime rib was to die for! Also got shoestring fries which were the perfect amount of crunchy! Mmm.

    Not much of a variety for beer for happy hour, but almost every cocktail is $7 and they are fantastic. Don't be shy to ask for another free cookie

    Trendy spot in Santa Monica, make sure you save room for the cookies at the end. Great vegetarian food and cocktails - opt for the burgers on toast.

    Happy hour all day until 7pm. Get there around 5-ish as it gets pretty crazy at 6pm. The Misfit cocktail is highly recommended (it's like a Negroni)

    Dixie fried chicken was excellent. Shoestring fries are what you expect and charred broccoli is decent but not great. Cocktails are really good however. Bar is the best place to sit with comfy seats.
