We really enjoyed the Spanish-inspired dishes, especially the octopus — cooked exactly the way it should be, tender, balanced, and confident. The Iberian ham was excellent, full of flavor, and paired beautifully with a good Tempranillo. Simple choices done properly. That’s what makes the difference.
What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Guillermo from Barcelona was outstanding — professional, sincere, and genuinely warm in a very natural way. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without showing off. You feel taken care of, not managed.
A relaxed, elegant place with honest food and real hospitality. We’ll be back.

Beth at the bar was fantastic—so personable and welcoming. As locals, it’s rare to come across service that genuinely stands out, and she made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. We’ll definitely be back!

This is my favorite beach/ sunset view restaurant in Santa Monica. It used to be Loews Hotel but they closed down and reopened as Regent or whatever. But Terrazza is inside Casa Del Mar and everything on the menu is always delicious. My fave is the Caesar salad w salmon. I love the crispy skin. The service is on point and the staff is like family at this point.
Jorge is my favorite person.

Incredible place to have a delicious breakfast in a peaceful setting with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. We walked in at about 10:30am on a Saturday with no reservation and got a table at the window with no issue. The service was fantastic, attentive and kind. We received a complimentary freshly made watermelon juice which was a nice touch. The food was all fresh and delicious. We had the breakfast burrito, chia pudding, waffle, and avocado “toast”. The atmosphere was so relaxing and quiet, and the view was just amazing even with it being a rainy day.

Beautiful old hotel built in 1926!
The restaurant had charming decor and a beautiful view overlooking the boardwalk and Santa Monica beach!
Prices were very reasonable!
We will definitely return even though we live in Huntington Beach!

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food, beautiful views, professional service. Stopped for a birthday lunch and truly enjoyed ourselves here. They validate parking for non hotel guests. Setting, ambience and decor are lovely.

The interior design and ambiance were spectacular, setting the tone for a memorable dining experience. We ordered the Mexican Mochatini, Wild Alaskan Halibut, and Sunday Roast. The cocktail was delicious, and the halibut was absolutely wonderful—everything on the plate complemented the fish perfectly. However, the steak fell short of our expectations as it lacked flavor. Our waiter was very kind and offered to remove the steak from our bill, which we truly appreciated. Great service and a good visit despite the steak.

We had breakfast the morning we arrived to the hotel while they finished up our room. Great menu, service, and our table was right at the window. Great people watching and perfect views of the beach and ocean. The entire wait staff was wonderful. Super attentive and friendly. Our food was delicious so were our morning cocktails.

Terrazza is a restaurant of magnificent excellence that elevates the Mediterranean dining experience to a truly memorable level. From the very first moment, the impeccable quality of its menus stands out: fresh ingredients, balanced combinations, and a culinary concept that respects tradition but with a creative touch that surprises in every dish.
The presentation is simply beautiful, designed with good taste and attention to detail, transforming each course into a visual masterpiece that anticipates the wonderful flavors to come. Each recipe is a delight that combines harmony, texture, and personality, awakening the palate with authentic and profound notes.
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Chef and his entire kitchen team, whose talent, dedication, and commitment are clearly reflected in each of their creations. The culinary art they cultivate not only satisfies but also inspires and leaves a lasting impression on all the diners who frequent this wonderful restaurant.
Terrazza is, in short, a place that honors Mediterranean cuisine with excellence, passion, and an unwavering desire to provide the best possible dining experience.

It was our last night in Santa Monica after a two month stay. We chose this restaurant for our last night out. It was perfect!! So romantic with a window view of the sunset. The food was delicious. But what made the night so special was our waiter Eric. He was wonderful! He was knowledgeable about the menu, he took time to engage with us and made a special night even better. Definitely check out this restaurant for a special occasion (it is kinda pricey) it is an experience and totally worth the expense. Ask for Eric.
