We placed our order online and opted for a quick pickup directly at the restaurant. We decided on the classic fish and chips along with the shrimp toast. The fish was expertly cooked with a perfect flake, and the fries were seasoned well with a satisfying crunch. Additionally, the shrimp toast smelled funny but was puffy and had a very pleasant texture. Beyond the food, the location is absolutely fantastic and easy to access. Overall, it was a seamless and delicious experience that we would certainly recommend to others.

We went there on Christmas Day because it was one of the few places open. We ordered the cheeseburger and the American breakfast, and honestly, it was a big disappointment. The potatoes were badly overcooked and dry, and the burger was served without even ketchup on the side, which felt careless. Given the quality of the food, the experience was poor, and the meal was simply not enjoyable. I wouldn’t recommend it unless there are major improvements in the kitchen.

I come here all the time because I’m at this hotel once a month. The staff is super friendly, the bartender is really cool. They have a decent drink selection and fun menu items. I always get the street corn focaccia and the ceviche. We got the fish and chips this time which was really tasty. Parking is kinda tough if you’re not staying at the hotel because this place is like seconds from the Santa Monica pier. Cool vibes, very fun beachy interior. I like this place a lot.

I absolutely loved this place! Located within the hotel, the restaurant had a surprisingly cozy atmosphere that made it feel intimate and welcoming. The vibes were very relaxed, and the service was efficient, making our dining experience enjoyable.
We tried various dishes, and each one was better than the last. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. Definitely recommend the prawn toasts from the appetiser section.
To top it off, the restaurant is very dog-friendly, even offering a special menu for pups!
Parking can be a bit challenging, which is typical for Santa Monica, so I recommend looking for street parking on Main Street or utilizing one of the nearby parking lots.

If you are down at the Santa Monica pier this is a great spot for lunch or brunch. Everything is fresh and you just know when they get guac and chips right, everything else will be great. We had the fish tacos and hot chicken and it was delicious. Great service and atmosphere with dogs allowed on the patio. Skip the pier stuff snd come to TSF.

The place has a huge indoor seating compared to outside. The atmosphere is good and they brought the food fast. The starter was nice but the fish and ships was ok

Raise your hand if you run the most dog-friendly restaurant in Santa Monica! I’m sure the Surfing Fox owner would raise their hand proudly. They’re pretty good at taking care of their human customers, too.

We ventured to the eatery on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. As one might expect, it was pretty quiet. We sat outside since we brought our dog, so most of the ambiance was brought by the people walking towards the pier. However, I can see this being a cool place to hang out during happy hour once the work crowd starts coming in.

I forgot the name of our server, but he seemed to be the only person working in the front of the house. He was everywhere: seating people, taking orders, behind the bar, everywhere. Thankfully, it was quiet enough that you didn’t notice him being gone too long, or he wasn’t unavailable when you needed him.

The food was good. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich, and my wife grabbed a poke bowl. We thought well of both, though they weren’t that special. The portions are on the smaller side, so this is a place where you wouldn’t go wrong ordering an appetizer.

I’ll end this review where I started it. The Surfing Fox loves hounds. They have a dedicated dog menu (we got our pup a protein bowl, and she was very excited), and they brought water for our dog without prompting. All in all, if you’re near Ocean Ave, I recommend stopping by The Surfing Fox.

The Surfing Fox has a beautiful ambience in Downtown Santa Monica! With a bar / lounge setting, comfy indoor patio style seating, it is the perfect place for some engaging conversation and comfort food! The servers where helpful and attentive. The ceviche was absolutely divine! Made with halibut, onions, red peppers, avocado and mandarin orange citrus, in a Peruvian spiced, robust sauce, I couldn’t get enough of this dish! Served with delicious, housemade chips, it’s a surefire go to I also had a medium wear a burger and fries with sides of ketchup and aioli sauce. Again, delicious! My friend ordered the mussels which looked nice, but we’re lacking in flavor and a little disappointing. For fans of mocktails, their strawberry spritzer and hibiscus mixer were thirst quenching and bright with floral flavor. I definitely recommend this place while you’re in Santa Monica.

Stayed at the attached hotel and ate here for 5 meals, mainly breakfast. Honestly, all the meals were delicious with my favorite being the breakfast burrito. The portions and flavors are all there. Also got to enjoy their flights and an espresso martini from the bar – the bartenders are great. If you are staying at the Pierside, this is a no brainer!
