Bistro Of Santa Monica

Loved her gnocci and our server was the most beautiful, so polite and accommodating.

WE go there about once or twice a year for the past 3-4 years and loved the experience. This time we walked up and it had a B rating. We shrugged our shoulders and went in figuring that they would have taken care of any problems. We both had our hearts set on the Osso Buco. After we sat down they waiter came over and said it was 7:00pm) they were out of the Osso Buco and out of Veal. My wife and I looked at each other and decided to leave. It 's a shame because we have had some good diners there and the ambiance is good. I hope they fix their B rating and I 'll definitely call ahead to see if they have the Osso Buco. Despite our one bad experience out of probably a dozen other times give them a try. Normally it is a very good experience.

I have an elderly father that can't hear very well, and having the restaurant opening opening early for dinner is key for me. We were there around 5 pm and actually we might even go a little earlier because we were the only ones in the restaurant. Noise level can get very high in there when there's a lot of people in the restaurant. We had a great time and excellent food. Deafly would go back there again!

Food was delicious, and piano player added nice mood music. Not too loud, pleasant.

One of the six guests at our table ordered a dish that was incorrectly filled. The (wrong) item was returned and about ten minutes later the correct order was delivered to the table. However, the order was undercoooked in as much as the cook was probably asked to do a fast job on the order since 5 out of 6 guests were already served. The undercooked/quickly cooked order had to be retured as inedible. To the server's credit the cost of the order was deleted from the bill.
