TerraTorry — Restaurant in Santa Monica

I walked into Terra Torry in Santa Monica without knowing much—just happened to pass by and something about the vibe pulled me in. This place is Kind of like walking into someone’s thoughtfully designed studio—earthy tones, soft light, no clutter, just intention.

The food? Surprisingly dialed in. No gimmicks. Just fresh, well-balanced flavors. the ingredients are fresh and the kitchen knows restraint. Even the sourdough on the side had that chewy, rustic bite you rarely get outside of bakeries.

Service was relaxed and warm. Not overly chatty, but tuned in. They let the place speak for itself.

I don’t know who’s behind the redesign or the new management, but it shows. Territory isn’t trying to be the next “it” place—it just is what it is, in the best way. Artistic, cozy, and quietly confident....

Those of us in the neighborhood are so happy to have TerraTorry up and running! We have been watching in anticipation as they completed a remodel and wondered what the replacement for Art's Table would look like. Turns out, it's absolutely beautiful, with a serene color palate and pastoral mural on the main wall. The food is top-notch too, featuring high-quality ingredients and hyper-fresh fruit and produce. The tomatoes in my avocado/tomato salad appeared to be heirloom and the strawberries were farmers' market fresh. To round out my brunch dish, called the 10th Street Breakfast, I enjoyed the healthy spin on scrambled eggs (egg whites with olive oil and chives) and sausage (chicken). Lastly, I cannot fail to mention that my oat milk latte was fantastic. Now to try...

After living in Italy for many years, it’s not easy to find a restaurant that truly impresses me, but this one absolutely does😀 The food is amazing, healthy, and full of flavor. Every item on the menu, from breakfast to lunch to dinner, is perfectly thought out and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, and the service is outstanding friendly, attentive, and professional. This is now my favorite restaurant in town. I’ve already been twice and plan to go every week. I honestly wish I could go every day! It’s the perfect spot for meals, meetings, or catching up with friends. I’ve even decided to have all my work meetings and social catch-ups there from now on. Highly recommend this place! Los Angeles needs more...
