I went here with a group of friends and basically to get a drink since we were walking around in the area.
The best area to sit is outside or in their enclosed area near the fire. I didn't see anyone coming around to pick up the glasses that were left on the tables except when we left so it seems like they don't clean any of the areas often.
The only good thing here is probably the view and just to drink and chat with friends.
One of my all-time favorite places in Santa Monica!
A perfect place to go if you are a tourist or have friends visiting from out-of-town. Very California-esque. The cocktails here are pretty fabulous too. There is a lavender-infused vodka drink that I love. Their happy hour food is tasty too.
I highly recommend coming here during the summer to watch the sunset. The view is one of the best in the city. Go, go, go!
