Worst Service Ever.....HORRIBLE!!!

by gaylers at Citysearch

I would not suggest this place for diinner if you are a large dinner party or going when this place is busy as they just cannot handle it. On saturday night the service was absolutly horrible at Santa Monica Bar and Grill, they were under staffed and slow. Our party of ten sat in the outisde patio area and it look about 45 minutes to get our first round of drinks and the waitress forgot a couple of them. Dinner was ordered about two hours into our visit only after asking the waitress to take our order. We recieved about half of our dinner entrees and the rest never came out. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Since service was so bad at our table I decided to take myself to the bar to see if I could get a cocktail faster......same story. Bar was filled with dirty glasses and empty plates....absolutly disgusting!!! I heard the bartender ask a customer to point to the bootle of booze because he did not know of it. I think what looked like the manager was behind the bar with only one other bartender. Bottle Line...this place will not survive in SM with this kind of service. How can management invest so much into a place and have service that is just a disgrace.

Weird Place

So what kind of place that calls itself a sports bar is not open on Sundays? During Football season! This place can be really fun at times, but other times it is just plain goofy. Sometimes the music is so loud, you can not speak even to order a drink. If you do go sit at the bar - great bartender by the name of Anita. They do have good food here too.

Go here.

OK. So I never went to this place when it was the 310 Lounge because of the odd location. But the food is decent and the prices are reasonable. I went here for dinner on a Monday night and by the time happy hour was over, we were the only people in the restaurant. The decor is totally hip and music fills the room. Solid American Fare.

• Pros: Good food, awesome decor, good music, big booths, Attentive staff, parking.
• Cons: it took a minute for them to pay attention to us. Location.
