I had a really nice experience at this restaurant. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and served fresh. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and the presentation was great as well.

Rico was very accommodating and attentive throughout our visit. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked in at the right times without being overbearing. His service definitely added to the overall positive experience.

The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it a good spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I’d gladly come back again.

We had the best experience here! The food was unreal, one of the best meals we’ve ever had-which was an unexpected surprise after we came in last minute. The hostess on 12/30, I’m not sure her name was so kind and made sure my birthday dinner was special. The service was so fast, one of the appetizers took about 20 minutes and they refunded us for it, so sweet! Cameron our sever was great. Thank you 1212!

The service started out great. My friends all did bottomless. They wanted a nice place to eat and get unlimited drinks. Usually when I have gone to bottomless and participated with them, there are more than enough drinks. This time I noticed that my friends were empty glass a lot of the time. Now they started asking for refills and they didnt get them in a timely manner. We asked for ice and that took a good 20ish minutes. It was my friends birthday so they did the cheering thing and shot for him however during this event, to make noise during the celebration the aaotwr taps on the table and a drink fell all over my friend. She suffered from sticky jeans all day! It was an accident though. We joked later thinking she took one for the team because they finally refilled the drinks at that point. Usually when that happens though they take her drinks off the bill or something to extend an apology but nothing sadly. It was a mistake and the waiters were friendly, but not attentative. The food was pretty good in my opinion for a brunch place that def catered to people who wanted to get drinks to start their day. I give this place a 2.5. The veggie burrito i got was dry but it was edible. With the sauce it tasted good. They did let us stay for a good amount of time though so we are thankful of that.

10/10 I’m not one to do reviews.. but this experience was amazing. Anna, our server, was friendly and efficient. She didn’t rush us, but paced our meal. The drinks were fun and delicious. We ordered 2 filets, sashimi appetizer, and a mushroom starter as well. We mentioned we just were married a few days prior and she excitedly told us to wait. She returned with a little rocket firework with two complementary items.
If we ever return to SM—this will be our first stop! TY

My experience here was outstanding from start to finish. I tried the lasagna and the gnocchi, and each plate had amazing flavor. I paired my meal with sparkling wine, which was wonderful as well. The place itself feels warm and inviting, with a lively, pleasant atmosphere.

Cannot comment on the food, but they had a lovely happy hour cocktail menu. I got the cantaloupe Martini, it was good, but definitely more of an Orange Martini than cantaloupe. The service was good and the atmosphere pleasant. It’s in a lively location and I really liked the photo booth they had.

My friends and I were just looking for a last-minute place to eat in Santa Monica and came across 1212, and wow… best decision ever. Every single thing we ordered was unreal. I got the wagyu meatball spaghetti and I’m still thinking about it — the meatballs were insanely flavorful and cooked perfectly.

Our server Rico made the experience even better. He recommended the French bread to go with my pasta and it was the PERFECT addition — crispy, warm, and honestly a must-order.

From the food to the service to the overall vibe, this place completely exceeded expectations. What started as a quick stop turned into one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. If you’re anywhere near Santa Monica, go here.

Visited a new spot in Santa Monica thanks to an invite from my sister-in-law.
We usually don’t make the drive out that far, but I’m glad we did. It’s a cute little restaurant on a lively street that seems like it could really come alive at night. Even during the day, there were plenty of families walking around, and I’d definitely come back just to explore the area more.

Inside, the restaurant has an interesting vibe — I was told it turns into a club at night, and I can definitely see the potential. Music was playing at a good volume, adding to the atmosphere.

I had the Mambo Splash drink, which was the perfect amount of sweetness for me and the favorite out of the whole table.
For food, I ordered the spaghetti carbonara with added shrimp, and also tried the Himachi sashimi as a second plate — both were good but the sashimi was especially delicious ! Id for sure order the that again!

The only downside was the service. While friendly, it was extremely slow. From ordering drinks, to getting our food, to finally receiving our check, we spent close to 3.5 hours at the table. For the food, I would definitely come back, but I’d hope for quicker service visit next time. It felt like it dragged in between everything! Took away from my experience.
