Brick Mortar - Santa Monica

We had a great time here... Popped in for a couple of drinks and a snack... We decided on the chicken and waffles and we were NOT disappointed. I would absolutely recommend! (Photos are Google with night view and iPhone... Either way WORTH IT)

I had a fun night at Bricks Mortar! It was WAYY TOO LOUD inside, however. Very small space, and the bar wasn’t separate from the dining area at all and people were treating the place as if it were a bar. The food was pretty good overall, but needed a bit more salt. I loved the Mac n cheese! We also ordered the chicken and waffles, and the bbq chicken pizza. I thought both of them were delicious, although my partner felt that the dishes both could’ve used some more salt and seasoning to them. I liked the bbq chicken pizza here much better than dedicated pizza places, like CPK, though! The service was a bit slow, but that’s understandable with how crowded it was, and waitress was super sweet and friendly! Also, there were only single bathrooms for men and women, and huge lines for each. Definitely feel like they could do with larger bathroom facilities, considering how many people appear to come here to drink on the weekends. There were also way too many TV’s throughout the whole dining area, each seeming to be on a different channel. Was a bit too much for my taste and distracted from the dim, gastropub-like ambiance the place had. Had a good time and a yummy meal, but it was too loud and the food could have used some improvement. Solid meal overall though!

Frankie the manager took amazing care of us and Haley (tall brunette) our server was extremely kind, attentive, timely, and knowledgeable about the menu. I would come back just because of Haley and Frankie! We didn 't have the 'perfect ' experience but the problems we had were handled right away!

Went during happy hour (12-16). Fantastic food. Good drink selection. Quick and friendly service.

⁶Nice little place tucked back away from the street. Outdoor patio made for nice sunny morning breakfast. Lots of options for the **** mary bar, only $10. Bottomless mimosas for $20.
