Meat On Ocean is a meat-centric, modern steakhouse in Santa Monica that offers both a sense of adventure and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Beyond the offerings of a world-class steakhouse, Meat On Ocean features an artisanal charcuterie bar, an exhibition dry-aging room and a variety of prime beef – from dry-aged domestic cuts to Japanese A-5. Integral to the operation is a highly trained crew of servers and butchers, who communicate directly with Guests about the beef, organically farmed chickens, house made sausages, choice seafood and more.

Located on the corner of Ocean and Broadway, Meat On Ocean is steps from the action - including the Santa Monica Pier, shopping and hotels.

Starting May 2024, Meat On Ocean is also your headquarters for private dining and events, with customizable spaces that are perfect for social events, corporate meetings, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, wedding receptions and ceremonies, with full audio/visual connectivity.

Fabulous‼️. This is categorically THE BEST steak anywhere. Period. The quality, the rub, and the exact cooking makes the anticipation worth it. Also try the crab cake. A delightful evening.

Excellent food! We enjoyed the mandatory four-course dinner for NYE. Each course was perfect — especially our 8oz filets. The only misstep was that they forgot to serve our sautéed spinach, which was fine because we had more than enough. And it was LOUD. Plus there was a guest who was extremely rude on my way back from the restroom, which isn’t the fault of the restaurant. He seemed to be out of place and out of his league and just in the way.

Although my dinner was good, we watched a customer have his life shattered and the managers did nothing to help. They say they couldn’t help, thus making me realize that this restaurant is severely unsafe.
