Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Santa Monica

Music was a little too loud inside and outside. Everything else was great.

Hostess was very nice, food good. My steak was okay, the eggs good. Hamburger good.

Booked a table on a last-minute trip to Santa Monica. First time visiting the area. Every aspect of this dining experience was exceptional. I would drive 7 hours back to the area, just to dine here, again.

Dined here many times on what I think is the best fish & chips in LA, but finally experienced the afternoon tea this week. We had a lovely time in the cozy back room with all the English royalty heads on the wall. I appreciate that the vibe is much more “British” versus so many tea houses that have an extremely flowery, feminine decor. The value of the tea service can’t be beat and the menu was spot on. Had a great loose leaf Earl Grey served, and the service was attentive but not intrusive. If I hadn’t needed to go back to work, I would’ve stayed for a few pints on the pub side. Our tea service confirmed that the Kings Head will continue to be a favorite for me & my family.

A little pricey, but the food was good, but not amazing. The service was nice and polite, even though they overcharged me. But the manager gave us free parking. It is basically a nice breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in a very nice hotel.
