Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Massilia offers a delightful Mediterranean dining experience with "outstanding food" and "great service." The menu features inventive cocktails and impressive dishes like the couscous royal and lamb shank. The "eclectic menu" and vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit in Santa Monica, though indoor seating is recommended for a quieter experience.

The overall experieince was very good. The food was above average and reasonably priced. The cocktail and wine list were good, not so much that it could be overwhelming, but different enough to have plently of options. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was excellent but also other staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a very positive experience and I think a good value for your money. My only complaint was it was a bit loud with high energy music. But I am an older person!!! So if they younger crowd likes it, go with it!

Great cocktails, food and service. The 8 hour lamb shank was amazing, the ratatouille and Brussels sprouts were amazing. Wine prices are too high. Côtes du Rhône at $60 is ridiculous

The green salad was amazing. Very lite tahini dressing, w/toasted hazelnuts a perfect touch. Best salad that we’ve had in a long time. Clams and sausage was good well proportioned. But the killer was the Moroccan couscous royal. Damn - the lamb and chicken could to perfection. Plenty of vegetables and cous. Lovely dried grape (not raisins!) to add on the side. It was a superb dish with lots of exotic flavors (ginger? Clove flowers?). And our dessert, vanilla gelato with expresso/amaretto sauce on the side - a beutiful finish. Our authentic French waiter was excellent and anticipated our every wish.

This place was amazing. The staff was very attentive and when we had questions about the menu, they were able to provide us with answers and great suggestions. The drink I had, La Francaise , was absolutely delicious. It was sweet, which is my preference. The bruschetta was great. The lamb shank was so tender and had great flavor, although the potatoes were a bit too creamy for me. My boyfriend had the broccolini pizza and was very satisfied. We also shared the tarte tartin, which tasted sweet and tart.
