    Steak plate
    Liliana M.

    I ordered the steak with fries and salad. The steak was a little dry and needed a bit more flavor, but overall it was fine. The fries were nice and the salad was fresh. I would be interested in trying other menu items. The service was friendly, but my order did take a bit longer than my friends. There's plenty of seating and it wasn't crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon. They do have clean bathrooms, just ask for the code.

    kids bolognese

    Didn't want food coma going back to the office so I opted for the kids bolognese. I was impressed by the taste of the bolognese sauce. The portion is filling enough where you don't feel sluggish going back to work after eating. Plus it gives you room to buy dessert. I tried the chocolate chunk cookie. It was delicious.

    grilled steak plate. 10/10

    Recently dined in here with a friend and everything was immaculate. I highly recommend the steak plate with the buttery mashed potatoes and Caesar salad--the dressing is so good! I also ordered extra bread, and the best part is it wasn't burnt this time, which I really appreciated. I love coming here for lunch dates. The service is always top-notch. While the food has been inconsistent in the past, I genuinely enjoy eating here, and I've noticed real improvement. There's always room to grow, and this location is definitely heading in the right direction. Keep up the great work!

    I was kind of mad at this Tender Greens. For some reason a lot of their stuff is spicy without indicating that on the menu! I'd been here before and didn't remember or experience that. This last visit made me kind of ill, because who would expect spicy sauce under a salad? Annoying. Place isn't cheap too.

    Tender Greens is one of my favorite go-to meals in the area. This location is dog-friendly and cozy with a big gated patio. Staff is usually helpful and nice. I got the plate with seared tuna, mashed potatoes and gravy, and seasonal veggies. Bread is nicely toasted and flavorful on its own too. It's a healthy and hearty meal all under 1000 calories. Only complaint is that veggies can prob be roasted a little more. The squash was still kinda raw and hard.

    Spent all this money to miss my salmon
    Shardae Y.

    Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend!!!! Save yourself the headache. This is the second time my husband and I have ordered from Tender Greens Downtown LA via Uber Eats, and both times our dinner was wrong. About a week ago, my mashed potatoes were missing. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out again. Today, my salmon was completely missing! ‍ replaced with a random ketchup packet in my plate instead (see image). After a long day at work, this is beyond frustrating. My husband spoke to Tatyana (believe the manager was too busy to speak), and the only solutions offered were: Drive over and pick up the salmon myself (the whole reason I ordered via Uber Eats is because I couldn't pick it up), or "Possibly" refund just the salmon portion. You would think they'd refund the whole plate for the inconvenience and me only having mash potato and veggie for dinner now. To me that's poor customer service and shows how little they care about the mistake that they made. Tried to give them a pass last time, but clearly nothing has improved. The food arrives cold and missing main items. Will not be ordering here again. (Pictures attached for reference.)

    Chipotle chicken salad

    Definitely food was good. Place is not packed at around 1:30pm. I've been to different tender greens location including this one in DTLA (which I've been here couple of times ) and never had any issues. But today, I never think I will encounter someone who's rude and no personality at all. I asked and he's one of the restaurant manager at that location named Paul. Amazed me, if he cant be bothered just don't be out and show customers that you don't have personality. This is customer service job Paul need to be a little friendly. Other than that food was good location is okay.

    Grilled steak, fried potatoes and grilled veggies. Average.

    After an event at Pershing Square just steps away, we were hungry. So the Yelp app brought us here since it's the closest and we didn't have to drive and find parking again. We arrived around dinner time. In the weekends when the offices are closed,'this place is nearly empty except for a few that came in for food delivery. We ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. The bread was very rustic with hard edges. The chicken was dry so it was hard to swallow. But after sitting in the to-go container for a few hours, the bread softened up and perhaps the pesto seeped into the chicken so it wasn't as dry as earlier. The steak plate (see my photo) looked like they just threw everything onto the plate. The steak was mostly tough and medium, instead of the medium rare I ordered. We also got a steak with mashed potatoes and pasta salad. (No photo) The steak was also more like medium instead of med. rare. That order was plated much better. Service was OK. Food was OK and filled us up. We were just happy for the location and distance from Pershing Square. Next time, we'll plan ahead better.

    cup - green pozole

    I ordered the green pozole "bowl" I was given a small cup with mainly liquid and tiny toppings . I placed the order with Uber Eats so I have two pay for a tip delivery and to save myself some money. I order a dessert. This is very disappointing and very costly to only get child portion size for lunch

    Short rib with broccoli special
    Deidre M.

    Our new go-to for healthy delicious eats after the gym! Have ordered online 3x for in advance pickup and has yet to disappoint! I tried the short rib special last night and it was even better than the menu photo! Steak also so bomb. Portions also solid. Tasty and fresh. Feels less guilty to get takeout here vs greasy or fried foods! I do want to take a moment to callout a few minor improvements though - roasted veggie side ratio was majority carrot, no squash, a few mushrooms. Also the online ordering portal doesn't have farro salad as a side option for the plates. Can these two items be addressed? Thanks and see y'all soon!!!

    What is this?!?!  How is this $16?
    Rashawn W.

    Disappointing..... How have the prices gone up significantly, but now the quality and quantity have died off. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken plate, dark meat grilled well. I get back to work, to enjoy my lunch.....and to my surprise just a few unseasoned, dried pieces of chicken and no skin.

    We had dinner at Water Grill Santa Monica (Ocean Ave) on April 19, and overall it was an easy 5/5…read moreexperience. We started with the oyster sampler featuring selections from Hollywood, MD; Pope's Bay, VA; Buzzards Bay, MA; Chesapeake Bay, VA; and Wellfleet, MA. The oysters were exceptionally fresh and served with great accompaniments. We always order oysters when visiting seafood restaurants because freshness is so important to us, and Water Grill absolutely delivered. A must-order. The grilled Spanish octopus, served with fingerling potatoes, Niçoise olives, roasted tomato, pine nuts, and olive oil, was very good (3.5/5). We're fairly picky when it comes to octopus, and while we would have liked a bit more char, it was still among the better versions we've had. The New Zealand king salmon sushi with avocado, hazelnuts, papaya, and white soy-lime vinaigrette was fresh, clean, and delicious (5/5). While not particularly unique, it was executed perfectly. The crispy calamari with harissa aioli and cilantro-mint sweet chili sauce was also well done (4/5)--crispy, not oily, and very enjoyable. Calamari is another dish we frequently order, and this version met our standards, even if it wasn't especially memorable. The standout among the appetizers was the New Zealand pink bream ceviche with cilantro, red peppers, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were incredibly fresh (5/5). We only added a touch of salt. This is another must-order dish. The Peruvian bay scallops with pistachio citrus pesto were somewhat underwhelming (3/5), and the Brussels sprouts with bacon and chestnuts (3/5) didn't leave much of an impression either. The lobster itself was excellent (5/5)--sweet, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The accompanying coleslaw wasn't our favorite, but we'd happily order the lobster again and probably go for a larger portion next time. The absolute star of the evening was the Massachusetts black sea bass. It was easily one of the best dishes of the night and possibly one of the best fish dishes we've ever had at a restaurant (5/5). Tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. To top it all off, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary birthday dessert featuring chocolate cake, vanilla cake, oatmeal cake, and ice cream. It was thoughtful, delicious, and a wonderful ending to the meal (5/5). Overall, Water Grill earns a well-deserved 5/5. The quality and freshness of the seafood were outstanding, the beachfront ambiance was beautiful, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Definitely a must-try seafood destination in Los Angeles. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable experience--we truly appreciated it.

Saw them seasoning it with fish sauce. I wouldn't have guess to do that but it works very well. - Silican Crudo - I always love a crudo. Very Yummy - Scallop Tostada - The apple, yuzu, and scallop are paired so well with each other. - Hot Shoft Shell Crab Sando - Lobster Bisque Roll My favorite dishes we got were the chowdaaa, silican crudo, and scallop tostada. The restaurant is small, would recommend getting a reservation. The inside is basically one long bar with a few 2 seats tables along the long hallway/bar. They had a couple tables outside that could sit 4 people. We didn't have a reservation but got there about 20 minutes before opening on a Sunday on lunch. They ended up having probably 20 ish people in line by the time they opened. They had Cape Cod and Maine oysters the day we went. We decided not to get any since they were market price and we had other oysters in similar regions before so decided to focus on the other dishes.

    This is probably the 4th or 5th time we've dined here - and today was... not the best. The biggest…read moreissue was that the kitchen was clearly in the weeds, and our outdoor table took the brunt of that. People indoors seemed to be receiving their food just fine, but the larger tables outside suffered. For hours. We got pretty much zero communication on what was happening; it took almost 2+ hours to receive any cooked food whatsoever. The raw items came out 15-20 minutes into the meal, which meant that we sat for the majority of the time with no entrees and no updates. Keep in mind that one of the hot items we ordered was the clams and mussels - a steamed dish that was literally dumped into a bowl with a pile of raw garlic and fries on top. The broth had a strong alcohol taste that did not cook off. Super underwhelming and disappointing after the 2 hour wait. Moreover, dishes came out seemingly at random, so our table of 4 people ate at different times, with no coordination (I realize some items are family style here, but sandwiches are clearly not). It's not fun/convivial for everyone when some have already completed their meal, and others have not even taken a first bite of their entrees. Ultimately they did offer to take the bread and one tostada off or our bill. A concession, but by no means an acknowledgment of the unpleasant overall experience. I think we're going to give this place a long break. And maybe only come back on a weekday when they're hopefully less busy.

The marinated crab was very delicious, and spicy crab was even better, but the marinated crab is definitely higher quality, so if you want to get the best of both worlds order both or get the combo. When we finished ordering, appetizers came immediately and basically covered the whole table, and as a Korean restaurant with such warm hospitality I assume you can get more side dishes if you want, but we didn't want to waste any food. All dishes tasted great. The uni wasn't very surprising but it's still good, so if you are doing à la carte you can skip it. All in all a 5+ for the restaurant, also the restroom seems pretty clean so it's another plus for this smallish restaurant.

We arrived at about 10am (opening time) and we were able to find a good spot in the private parking lot. There were at least 10 other people that must've had the same idea and show up early to beat the traffic. We opted for the grilled halibut and seabass dishes with garlic bread, rice, salad, and ceviche. Even though it was a little cool from the rainy weather, it was still nice enough to eat outside in an enclosed patio with electric heaters. They also have two restroom facilities for any bathroom needs. The main area where we ordered was also where we picked up our orders. We also had the option to call ahead and place orders for pick up/to go. Those were processed in the Seafood Market section (where they had different fresh fish and seafood options). The food was pretty good--opted for garlic butter sauce for the fish and it was the perfect complement to the halibut, but the sea bass was honestly so tender that it needed no sauce. The salad and dressing were as expected. Same with the rice. All of these portions were pretty big. The garlic bread was also pretty tasty and a juge portion, but the ceviche, although good, was a smaller portion than expected. It was fresh and quite flavorful and came with a side of chips.
