Pasjoli - Santa Monica

We were seated in a private area which was nice, but the space heater destroyed any sense of taste and smell I had for the food. That led to me eating stale bread and bland duck breast. I appreciate the pressed duck demonstration, but the food was past fresh by the time the space heater was turned off.

Amazing food, great service, a bit underwhelmed by the secret garden, didn't feel super private or quiet enough, wine list prices are a bit over the top. But nonetheless great food and service experience!

The DUCK for 2 is amazing and worth any special occassion. The wine selection from the sommelier was an excellent pairing as well. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful meal.

We started with the onion tart and the scallop quenelles with caviar. Both were beyond good. My son was in raptures over the tart. Both had the stuffed quail which was fabulous. The fennel and fruit side was soo good and the quail meat and sausage were excellent. We shared a chocolate soufflé for desert and it was the best. Accompanied by a vanilla ice cream nicely garnished with nuts. I started with a glass of sparkling and then had the Sancerre. Excellent evening. We highly recommend.

Fantastic evening. From everyone who touched the table to every plate that we received it was a fantastic dining experience. Thank you so much.
