- RRobinLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI was invited to a soft opening. My friend was unable to make it so I went alone for lunch. I was greeted warmly and seated inside as it was too cold on the patio. Robby was my server and he was fantastic from the start. I started with the ceviche appetizer, the fish was cod., large delicious pieces. A big portion wi/ tortilla chips along the plate. They are made in house. Crunchy and perfect. I order grilled Kanpachi with chimmchuri. It really was a pesto. The fish was cooked perfectly and again, a large portion. I had the sesame green beans and elote corn off cob. I had a blood orange lemonade, very refreshing. I chose to paste on dessert. They packed up my leftovers in compostable packaging. This is a big deal to me. Many of the staff came over and asked how I was enjoying my meal. I am a long time local and this new restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I will be back. I wish them much success.More infoPacific Catch- Santa MonicaPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Santa Monica•4.9

- TTeresaLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOur dinner was absolutely wonderful! Starting with the hostess greeting us at the door asking about our reservation and letting us know they were a little behind. We were seating about 15 min past our reservation but all went well. Our waiter was excellent, giving us suggestions as we made our selection. After our dinner finished, we were surprised with 3 different deserts, on the house! We absolutely loved the Beignet's! So delicious! Thank you Baltaire for a lovely evening!More infoBaltairePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Brentwood•4.7
- JJoyceVIPPortland / Oregon •10 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 4, 2024A great experience all around! Enjoyed a wide variety - raw oysters of course! Which came with a glass of bubbly on Tuesday. Hand rolls variety. Crab cake and can’t miss the lobster roll. We added the “added ammo” of extra lobster and shared the single roll. It was delicious. I’m an east coast gal and know my crab and lobster and this place was well done! Service was excellent. Attentive but not intrusive. I’d advised we were in town to celebrate our 24th anniversary, and they had a special table set up - cozy corner with excellent sunset view and heaters. So nice! Highly recommend and will come again.More infoBlue Plate OysterettePrice: Expensive• Seafood• Santa Monica•4.7
