    Came to order a take order. Salmon is so dry. You don't want light pink salmon. You want a little more orange pink and this plate cost $19.

    Extremely dry salmon. It's not suppose to be light pink. I just came to get a take out and the plate size is so tiny for $19. Not worth it

    Yummy apple crumble!

    30 minutes before they closed, I came to tender greens for a healthy, tasty dinner. I was greeted very warmly. I ordered at the counter and took my seat. The dining room is spacious, clean and modern. This location is a block away from Ocean Boulevard in Santa Monica. I ordered the seared tuna, romaine hearts, and roasted potatoes. They were delivered pretty quickly, and everything was delicious and the portions were generous, especially the potatoes. The croutons in their salad are insane. Dinner also came with a hunk of toast made of that same heaven-sent bread, which I took home. My server was super nice and brought my dessert out a few minutes later. The apple crumble is served with a nice big dollop of cream, which gives you that warm toasty feeling without consuming a whole serving of ice cream on your apple crumble. The apple crumble apple slices were nicely covered with cinnamon and not too sweet. I really enjoy eating on real plates with real silverware. That was fun. I took my leftovers home in a compostable container. I had the hibiscus tea, which was absolutely delicious. Everyone here was kind and helpful, and I would absolutely come back.

Order and pay at the counter and find a table indoors or outside. Both areas are nice, however inside, the noise level is a wee bit louder, however I haven't had any issues having a conversation with a friend. For those with sensitive ears, just sit outside. One can come here for coffee. Free refills! You can ask for a cup ( their cups are glass), but the coffee doesn't stay warm long. If you plan on sitting there and don't mind a paper cup To Go, order your coffee in a To Go cup. Food: each time I have ordered food to eat there, it arrives promptly and presented beautifully. Their sandwiches are made with their house made bread! Delicious! Try to save room for one of their pastries or desserts. Tartine is an oasis to relax, unwind, catch up with friends, people watch.

But: They have a crazy attendant that spies where you are walking and decides how much you pay based on his opinion vs your receipt from the store and validation stamps. When I came back he said I owed him $15. I showed him my receipt but he claimed he watched me walk away and so validation doesn't count anymore. I refused to pay for his demand and he told me I am banned from the parking lot. He is on crack. Shame because tartine will lose clients because of this dudes behavior. I used to go several times each week but I can't deal with this guy making up rules depending on whether he likes you or not.

    Where do I begin?…read more This was my last day in the beautiful land of California, and before heading out to catch my flight back to the South, I was craving Mediterranean food. I've been on a bit of a Mediterranean kick lately, thank you Cava for that. First impressions? The environment was beautiful. Seriously photo worthy. As a photographer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture inside and around the area. It had that visual vibe that made me excited to be there. There was no line when we walked in, so I quickly landed on my order: the Crimson Chicken Wrap (white meat) with a side of babaganoush, and the Chicken Shawarma (dark meat) with a side of fries. Everything sounded solid. But then... we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed. In that time, about 3 to 4 other customers came in, placed their orders, got their food, and left. Meanwhile, we were still waiting on two of their more popular items. I tried to be patient, gave them the benefit of the doubt, until I saw someone who arrived 25 minutes after us get their Chicken Shawarma within 10 minutes of walking in. Given that we were on a time crunch with other places to be, the delay was beyond frustrating. We ended up speaking with the manager and shared our concerns, but by that point, the experience was already soured. Now for the food. I wanted to like it. The first bite had promise, but after that, it just felt like I was eating out of obligation. For the price point, the service delays, and the lackluster flavor, I honestly can't recommend the entrées I tried. The coffee? It seemed to be good, but not enough to bring me back just for that. I wish I could give Crimson a stronger review, especially because the space itself is stunning. But in the end, it was a case of style over substance. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, though I did walk away with some great photos, at least.

Food: We ordered 2 Steak and Eggs ($25 each) and the Ribeye Chilaquiles ($39 each) from the Brunch special. The portion was perfect, not too big and too small. The steak was nicely prepared the way we wanted it (medium). It was very tender and flavorful - we enjoyed every bite we had especially my kids. Service: Staff are very friendly and welcoming, they were very sweet, nice and attentive. Their customer service is great! Ambiance: It is located in a plaza at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd & Brockton - they have free parking on the lot. The restaurant itself is not as big as I imagined from the pictures here in yelp - I think rough estimate is for 30-36 people max? But they do have a small cute outdoor seating area as well. We will definitely go back to this place next time we visit the area!

    Jade Rabbit is a fast-casual restaurant located in Santa Monica serving Chinese American food. Yes…read moreyou can think of this place as a variation of Panda Express, but I think the food here is much better and healthier. Chef and owner Bryant Ng was formerly the opening chef at Nancy Silverton's Mozza and has been nominated for the James Beard Award multiple times including Best Chef: California in 2022 and Best Chef: West in 2017 for his formerly acclaimed restaurant Cassia in Santa Monica (now closed). [Parking]: Free 1-hour customer parking behind the restaurant. [Atmosphere]: Cute decor and the restaurant was playing funky music in the background. [Menu]: Customers build their own bowls with 2 bases (6 options), 2 vegetables (4 options), and 1 main (8 protein options or 1 vegetable instead) for $12.99. The back side of the laminated menu also lists all allergens for each item. Top Yelp highlighted items include Orange Mango Chicken (main), Chow Mein (base), Cold Noodles (base), Almond Roca Chocolate Chip, and Scallion Garlic Cheese Toast. The best-selling dish at Cassia, chickpea curry, is also available on the menu as main. *** Bowl (bases - chow mien + cold noodles, vegetables - cucumber salad + chopped kale salad, and main - charred honey chicken - $12.99): Generous portion with enough to split between lunch and dinner. I really liked the kale salad as it tasted creamy. The cold noodles were not too spicy with just a tiny hint of numbing spice. Honey chicken and chow mein were good. The order also came with green sauce and sweet & sour sauce. The green sauce was absolutely amazing (creamy and spicy) and the sweet-and-sour sauce was not as good as the green sauce but still good. *** There is no question in my mind that Jade Rabbit is one of the best Chinese American restaurants in LA and Orange County. I want to come back and try some of their other items on the menu next time I am in Santa Monica.

I love the cucumber salad, pickled cabbage, and roasted sweet potatoes, but you can't go wrong with any of the veggies.
