Hotel dining room but could be a stand alone restaurant. Lots of people working, all professional and friendly and accommodating. The food was solid. My scallops were tender, served on a bed of yumminess( no menu picture) Thankfully a gorgeous view restaurant with food and ambiance to match. And yes, the hanging ferns are real!

BEAUTIFUL view. Great food. Great service. Not the most up to date interior. Not a hater... just maybe not the trendiest decor..... go for the view! If you're looking for a sexy vibe.... maybe not.

We enjoyed multiple meals during our stay, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Most meals were excellent. Service was top-notch, with Patcho providing attentive service during breakfast and Guillermo impressing us during dinner. Be prepared for higher prices, but the overall experience was definitely worth it

I give four stars because the service of this restaurant is absolutely fantastic, especially my waiter, Adrian. These are real pros and they are some of the nicest people you'll ever come across and are truly happy to serve you. My only minuscule complaint is that some of the items on the menu seem a bit thrown together and are a little bit bland. While they have great french fries and chips, the sandwiches are a little sloppy and not all that exciting. The fish tacos also quite bland. I had the club salad once and it wasn't quite filling though pretty tasty. The bar does make a very good martini, but I would suggest if you're coming for the first time try visiting for a drink and a small app in the late afternoon and see how you like it. You will not be able to beat the vibe and they will treat you well, even if you're only having drinks and appetizers.

Hello everyone in the St. Louis Mo calling your attention to an amazing restaurant with west coast experience fused with the charm of Italy! Fabulous! My daughter planned a birthday surprise for me! If you want the cherry on top of your west coast experience please visit Terrazza. The Terrazza staff members are ROYALTY!!! Impeccable from valet to host to server!!! From Karen with love to all of you. Truly unforgettable!!

So glad to enjoy brunch at this lovely restaurant! First, the location was perfect for the occasion (a special brunch with family during the holidays). We (requested & were given) a table near the window overlooking Santa Monica Beach. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, on the ocean side of the hotel lobby, enhancing the beach views (indoor dining only). Since we booked during the holidays, the hotel lobby was beautifully decorated, but even without the Xmas decor, the lobby is a gorgeous space. So many inviting areas to sit and relax in; especially loved the series of curtained "cabanas" down one side, and the tile floors and glass light fixtures are stunning. Must have been such a pleasure to design and decorate this beautiful space. More importantly, the brunch was also a success. Dining is table service (not buffet style) and we all enjoyed our cocktails (Mimosa, Purple Love !!) and meals (croissant breakfast sandwich, poached egg plate, chef's salad, etc.) and the service was great. Prices were reasonable for the setting and quality. We were encouraged to relax and enjoy ourselves afterwards and were not rushed to leave. Such a pleasant experience! This really checked all the boxes for our adult OC family to kick off a day of sightseeing in the city. Would also make a lovely setting for any special occasion or celebration. If I lived nearby it would be on regular rotation

The staff at Terrazza went so above and beyond for our little party! They were so accomadating! I cannot emphasize how beautiful the hotel and restaurant are either around the holidays! See for yourself! The food. Incredible and delish!

Went to Terrazza at the Casa del Mar for an anniversary dinner the other night, and boy did it deliver! Excellent food, impeccable service, and a friendly, scenic atmosphere. For starters, the valet was professional and polite, identifying me with a smile and calling me by name. The lobby, which appears to have been completely reimagined since the last time I was there, was clean and beautifully decorated with an apparent attention to detail. Finding our way to the hostess stand, they were waiting to take us to a nice table while we waited for our "sunset view" table. The bubbly they brought helped to set the mood. Once we moved to our table next to the floor-to-ceiling windows and mooned over the sun, setting over the beach, we settled down to the food portion of the dining experience. David, the man in charge, took great care of us throughout the evening, checking on our experience as he stopped by each table to offer that personal touch. Guillermo, our server, who hails from Barcelona and shared his wisdom of the menu, which, coincidentally or not, included a number of Spanish ingredients and dishes. For example, we greatly enjoyed, at his urging, the Iberican ham with pureed spanish tomatoes and Pan de Cristal, all of which are flown in from Spain. The other appetizer we got was the kompachi crudo,which was incredibly fresh and beautiful seasoned. For our mains, we enjoyed the sea scallops with faro, corn, and squash, and their famous sea bass with mini clams and asparagus in a delicate parsley-based reduction. We washed it all down with a bottle of wonderful pinot, chosen by David, and a spectacular basque cheesecake. We took an abbreviated stroll by the beach and then got our car from the valet (who seemed to be expecting us). Great venue, great service, great food, and a memorable evening. Thank you, team Terrazzo. N.B. - we were too busy enjoying everything to remember to take pictures of the food to post. You'll have to see for yourself.

Love this place - the restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Casa Del Mar hotel so it has wonderful beach front views, high vaulted ceilings and great entry lobby. We were here for my niece's birthday brunch. We sat in the middle table for our group and the servers were very attentive. The menu for brunch has a lot of choices I see a lot of other customers ordering the wagyu burger - that's what my niece ordered (pictured below) I opted for eggs Benedict (dungeness crab) and regular coffee which is refillable. They give you the thermos for you to refill your cup. The wagyu has a very thick patty - my niece can only eat half and had the rest to go. She said it was flavorful. My eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly and there's enough crab to make it worth the up charge. Would highly recommend this to those who want beach front views and great ambiance. We went Saturday (Labor Day weekend) and there's a wedding party taking photos by the hotel. Such a lovely place and you can walk to the pier from here. I used valet service for $14 good up to 3 hours so that gave us enough time to eat and walk to the pier.

This restaurant is in Cada del mat hotel. Had a great ocean view. Perfect for breakfast. Very scenic.. you can watch the ocean waves and also the joggers and people on the beach. Great to go w friends. The menu was short and sweet but the food was good. I had the eggs benedict c shrimp. It was average. Nothing dazzling but it works. The service was ok. A bit abrupt but I see it gets busy in the day. Many picturesque scenery. All in all it was 3 to 4 stars.
