In 1979, at the age of 25, Michael McCarty founded Michael’s Santa Monica, a restaurant credited as an early pioneer of California cuisine with its market-driven plates that utilize local produce and hyper-seasonal ingredients. Throughout the years, Michael has spearheaded the restaurant’s evolution, bringing in a veritable who’s who of culinary talent that includes current chef Job Carder, as well as opening chef Jonathan Waxman, Nancy Silverton, Brooke Williamson, Sang Yoon, Mark Peel, Miles Thompson among others; and along the way, he authored Welcome to Michael’s: Great Food, Great People, Great Party!, which received a 2008 James Beard Foundation Cookbook award nomination in the entertaining category.

My husband and I attended the lamb dinner and hawk hill wine pairing as part of our honeymoon. We had the most incredible time – what a beautiful space. The chef and Wine producer were SO SMART AND NICE

My favorite happy hour in the area but dinner is expensive and just okay. They’ve started doing cool happy hour specials that’s different each day of the week, ie oyster Wednesday, martini pitcher Thursday, fish and chips Friday. Michaels is a regular spot I go to with my friends and I bring all of my out of town friends here

At Michael’s, an enchanting space,
Tiffany, our guide, brought such grace.
The atmosphere, a charming trace,
Where every detail finds its place.

Freshness blooms in every dish,
A seasonal menu, a delectable wish.
The duck, a savory, succulent bliss,
A culinary dance, nothing to miss!

wherever i live i like to find a place that i can call “my home spot”. you know – a place that’s comfortable for a drink and a meal at bar-type situation satisfying a people-watch and cheat meal vibe. i can with both hands laud this place as my current home spot.

the right blend of technically delicious and easy to enjoy that makes a good, refined local spot. if you hit the happy hour you can’t lose with their menu.

very dog friendly (the best!). very human friendly.

Came for happy hour with a group of 8 co-workers. Amazing food, excellent service, and a nice quiet location near the coast. The owner himself even stopped by our table to greet us. Could not ask for a better experience.

Amazing! Awesome menu, great staff. Felt welcome from the moment I walked in the door. Sat in an incredible Garden. Could have been in the south of France for all I knew. What a wonderful experience.
