What to Eat in Santa Monica β A Classic Steakhouse with a View! π₯©π
The well-known spot: Meat on Ocean Great atmosphere, killer views β perfect for watching the sunset from day to night. They specialize in dry-aged steaks β like the same Double R Ranch cuts you find at Eataly, aged from 30 to even 120 days. If you're with a group, order about 10oz per person. We went for a 37oz bone-in ribeye (about 7oz of which was bone). π¦ Starter: Octopus β Not great, skip it. π¦ͺ Oysters β A bit small, but fresh and tasty. π₯¬ Sides: Fries & Creamed Spinach The fries were fine, but the "creamed" spinach was basically boiled spinach β no cream in sight π π₯© The Star: Dry-Aged Ribeye Served on a wooden board, but not quite hot enough. We ordered it medium-rare. The crust had that special nutty, buttery, chocolatey dry-aged flavor, though the inner meat was just okay. It went well with the chimichurri sauce. Verdict: Totally worth it for the view! The steak is good β quality ingredients β but the sides and some starters could be better. Go for the sunset, stay for the steak π₯©β¨ #SantaMonicaEats #MeatOnOcean #Steakhouse #DryAgedBeef #OceanView #LAFood
