Incredible steak house. If you go there request Valentina she was incredible, explained the options and neat types. The salted buns you get at your table as delicious. The charcuterie boards are such a nice option. The steaks are cooked to perfection.
The decor was amazing for Christmas time. Can't wait to come back and have Valentina take care of us again.

It was amazing. You probably wanna make reservations it does get crowded. We were there for my mom's 75th birthday, the restaurant, which was clean in and outside. The valet young lady was nice. The price is $18 3 hour validation. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance it wasn't overly noisy. we sat by the window, which had a wonderful view of the Santa Monica Pier and the water. Both of our waiters were amazing. I believe one was named Josh. And I know our main waiter was named Sean. He was very nice, friendly, and very attentive to the 6 of us in our group. The food was very good we ordered the twin lobster tails with spinach and a side of mashed potatoes, the 30 day dry rub rib eye steak with tomato and mashed potatoes, Chilean sea bass, rack of lamb and a steak salad and a nice bowl of clam chowder. At the end of dinner time for a slice of birthday cake, chocolate with a Raspberry sauce and whipped cream and bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream.

Nice huge restaurant with a bar and good food. It's near the pier and is pretty big. It's not very upscale. More suitable for large groups. Not for the romantic date. Steak was good and I liked the octopus

Octopus appetizer, filet mignon, ribeye. All delicious, super nice waitress, great atmosphere and beautiful sunset from their patio. And the cheesecake (sorry, no photo, we ate it so fast) omg, was to die for. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you!

We were deciding between dry aged ribeye and wagyu rib eye and our waiter really pushed us to try dry aged rib eye. It was good and the fatty marbled parts were very flavorful BUT the meat was CHEWY. It was okay. Not what we expect for dropping $100 for a 14oz steak. Bone marrow starter was good but portion of marrow/ toast was skimpy. it was tasty but portions were not great compared to what we’ve had before. Our server was slow to check up on us but it was thanksgiving so I don’t blame him. Ambiance was nice especially when they opened the wall to outlook the palm trees on the beach side.

Had a very good time with my friends for lunch. The meat was cooked perfectly, the sides were great, and the service was top notch. Prices are high, but the quality follows suit.

One of the best spots near Santa Monica Pier. Delicious assortment of steaks, wonderfully prepared appetizers, and beautiful desserts. The service is also impeccable to match the fair! Highly recommend Meat on Ocean!!
Nick Leghorn
Beautiful views of the ocean with delicious steaks. Even with the west facing patio, the sun doesn't get too strong. Just a great place for a romantic dinner.

Tonight was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had... all thanks to Meat On Ocean! The bread was amazing, the sides were perfect, and the steak was the best I've ever eaten. And our server Miguel was exceptional... knowledge, attentive, delightful! And you cant beat the scenery! Right by the ocean, at sundown... they opened up the whole west side of the building and you could feel the cool breeze, see the beautiful silhouetted palm trees against the sky, and the sunset was the cherry on top! 10/10... highly recommend!

Food was great. I've received better service at a fast food chain. Took 10 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order. Every table had bread all the way through their meal except ours. Bread was never even brought over to our table. After our drinks were delivered the server only came back to the table one time and that was with food. Not once did we get a drink refill or anything else. Server had the nerve to ask about dessert while giving us the bill. Such a shame. I don't understand why such a nice restaurant would employ such terrible servers. A person who never waited a table in their life could do better. She clearly had to try for such neglect
Stuart Jillings
The best lamb rack I’ve ever had in my entire life. This place was amazing. Lovely staff and the best food ever! If I could rate 20 stars � I would

Went with business colleagues. Our waiter was very helpful with the menu since I have food allergy to shellfish. The food was delicious. I would definitely go back and recommend.
Anson Ruiz
Just start with the picturesque view of the beach. They have amazing flavors from the drinks all the way to desserts! We tried the Margarita Verde, Essex Street and Mango Hefe. Meat selection is unmatched with dry and wet aged choices. Pistachio creme brûlée and Apple Turnover were an amazing finale to a great meal. Nicole gave us top notch service. We will be back!
Andrew Heather
Best steak ever eaten. Had a 45 day dry aged bone-in rib-eye. It was fantastic, perfectly cooked and with great sides.
Not cheap, but definitely worth it.
Michael Williams
Great food, great service. Server was Naomi - absolutely first class. Knew the menu inside and out. Made great recommendations, made lunch even better. Would recommend to anyone
John De Langhe
Fantastic place with nice open view on the ocean boulevard. Our waitress ( I think she was called Rashan?) was great and helpful
30 day dry aged meats where juicy and delicious.
Susan Melchiori
The atmosphere and staff were wonderful. The Sea Bass didn't have much flavor, the steak was just ok. When they ask what sauces you want with a $68 steak, I think there is a problem. The steak should be good enough without sauce. The oysters were $20 for 6 and very small. Wine pour was not much. I don't think we will be back, which is a shame.
Maurice Chiasson
We stumbled into the place looking for a place for a drink and a snack. The food was awesome. The ambience was also great. We ended having dinner there. Turned out to be a great evening.
Derek Powell
Great spot overlooking Ocean Ave and the shoreline. Surprisingly, not crowded on Mother’s Day despite making a reservation. They have a great kid’s meal and loved their seafood selection.
Nicola Edwards
Went back for a second time and have to say they have improved their service dramatically. The steak was cooked to perfection,side orders came out on time, food was very tasty and service was impeccable. Their bread is delicious - we didn’t have any of their cheeses but I’m sure it would be perfect with cheese. There is no corkage fee which is amazing and their pistachio creme brûlée is spectacular. Thoroughly enjoyed our return - get a window booth if possible. Fun and energetic environment.
Sally Patricia
Beautiful dinner tonight with my family �
Oysters were AMAZING!!
Steaks were cooked to perfection - what a great meal and super friendly staff!
The food came out super fast and loved the kids menus and the kids loved their food! �

My boyfriend and I made a last minute reservation here not knowing anything about the restaurant. Wow were we delightfully surprised! From the instant we walked in, we were blown away by the beautiful building, decor, and ambiance. The host staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very pleasant and knowledgeable, enlighenting us on the in-house aging and butchering process...it was certainly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. All of our food was fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and are so glad that we stumbled upon this place. Hope to be back to Santa Monica so I can visit again!
Julie Vad
The food was good! The service was ok. The atmosphere and location are super. Great place to have drinks. It is expensive and not as gourmet as I thought it would be.
Maribel Murrieta-Borges
Great service, but the bone marrow had pretty nothing much. We asked for our a medium steak 🥩, but came out medium well . Great view and interior thou
Sharon Beerman
Amazing! The aged steak was incredible, the rack of lamb the best ive ever eaten. will return here over and over again.
Dee Earl
The food was great but the service ruined it for me. Our waitress was downright rude. I don’t think I’ve ever had such an unfriendly waitress in my life and I’m upset with my husband for giving her an undeserved tip.
