Martini MikeAugust 15, 2015Great place! Creative and fresh craft cocktails. Great staff, vibe, decor, and food. And a free delicious cookie if you finish your meal. I'll be back for sure. www.THEMartiniMike.com
Gabriel DietrichOctober 17, 2014The 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 visitUpvoted Aug 28
Connie ChiuMay 31, 2015The 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 ;))
The fried chicken sandwich is AMAZING!! the misfit burger is really really good and the mac n cheese is average.
Go Find AliceMay 28, 2015Amazing tap beer and food on third street promenade. Prices are reasonable too. Try their egg white cheddar omelette and fried chicken sandwich!

NicoleFebruary 9, 2014Try 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!
Rachel ClarkMay 11, 2018I 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.
lino brescia™August 28, 2015This place was outstanding. Eclectic and Very tasteful flavors. Highly recommend the avocado toast and prime rib dip. So good.
Kim DruschNovember 25, 2012Great 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!
Come for barfly lunch price! $7 lunch at the bar, can't be beat and normal dish size. Changes each day, but got chop chix salad tues..so good!
RosalindSeptember 25, 2014It 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?!- Annette HarganJanuary 5, 2016I 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
Ranu RajkarnikarJanuary 26, 2016Cool space and great cocktails. Bartenders are friendly and talented too. Great bar for before or after dinner drinks, or for a date. Their food looks pretty tasty too.
Mike TaylorOctober 10, 2012Get 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!
Kevin TJanuary 24, 2016Their 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!!
Nicole DSeptember 1, 2012Not 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.
The French fries with blue cheese dipped in the honey mustard plus one of the happy hour cocktails makes a good weekend afternoon.
Phil BiedronMay 14, 2018Not 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- Amazing kale salad!!!! Ive tried the green vegetable soup, mac and cheese, lobster sliders, tortilla soup, shoestring potato sticks... All good! The best salted chocolate chip cookies ( complimentary)
Katerina AnnaAugust 23, 2017Divine food, excellent service 👌🏼 The grilled Brussels sprout is a must try, even if you don't like Brussels sprouts you're gonna love it!

Dëva HolikOctober 22, 2014Trendy 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.

LucorinSeptember 12, 2013The fries are gargantuan size. Eat them. The chicken sandwich is a winner! The Mac and cheese with chorizo is delish!! Get a drink and stay awhile bc the atmosphere is hoppin' in here :-p
Adrian PhillipsAugust 16, 2014Happy 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)
ROctober 13, 2015We make a beeline for this bar every time we're in LA but no longer im afraid. Had a lovely evening the other day but we just tried to have drinks outside & were told that you had to order dinner too!
Angelina ZeppieriFebruary 9, 2015Any of the cocktails on the menu are great! Many made with grapefruit and lavender infused honey.
Marie JacobsonApril 29, 2018The Mac and cheese with chorizo was mind blowing. Large portions of food with a great selection of drinks. Loved the free cookie at the end of the meal
Gina HartFebruary 11, 2013Great happy hour! We sat at bar and enjoyed apps. Everything we ordered was over the top good.

Jon MenagerAugust 3, 2015Bomb dot com. Delicious food and good happy hour prices. Try the Tri-Tip Sliders and the Baked Mac & Cheese and thank me later. 💁🏼

HajarAugust 26, 2016Mac & cheese, french fries, lobster slider, kale salad all are super delicious and don't forget the complimentary cookies 🍪😋- Patricia DrexlerSeptember 5, 2015Brussel sprouts were excellent as well as the avacodo toast and prime rib dip. Serves great. A bit noisy. Oh forgot hamburger tasty too.
Eve GriffinSeptember 17, 2014Misfit Burger(very wet/greasy)Lobster Nik Nik was lovely texture, Avocado Toast was the best, light & flavourful. Service wasnt great, too many servers, all sticking to themselves not helping ech othr
Q LamOctober 23, 2015Dixie 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.
D KFebruary 15, 2016Lobster sliders, curry cauliflower, mushroom carbonara, cocktails - all delicious!!
Fabricio VieiraJuly 15, 2014Nice place and service. Best fries ever! Try the red wine called Saldo. It's amazing!! And don't forget to eat the heavenly cookies for a perfect ending.- Jaime T GApril 11, 2018Good lunch menu . On monday vietnamese chicken. Also good kale and quinoa salad
- Drethewe DredaeFebruary 26, 2015I have been coming to sparks since the 80's what a great food. You get what you paid for. The greatest cuts of beef around. 5 stars for me.
JoyAugust 27, 2011Great ambience. I had the ahi tuna burger and it was delish. Also had couple bites of handmade pasta and it made me crave for more! You can't go wrong with this place.
