Seaside On The Pier - Santa Monica

We came to Santa Monica Pier to meet my niece and her boyfriend from Sacramento. After walking on the pier and being in the water we needed to eat. My niece's boyfriend chose this place. Three of us ordered the fish and chips. We thought the fish and chips were good. My son ordered a burger and he loved it. It's very hard to please him because he's super picky. So that's a good thing. Here's what I don't understand. My niece ordered salmon that came with cilantro rice and green beans. The green beans looked like it was untouched. She hardly ate much salmon but the cilantro rice was eaten up. Maybe the salmon and green beans weren't that good and she didn't care for packing it to go. I understand why she ate up the cilantro rice. I had to agree the cilantro rice was really good because I ordered a side. Overall it was a nice experience. I have an autistic son so there was a speed bump with behaviors. The staff were really good about it when out of no where we had to switch table to one with a booth seat. I was reading the reviews after I ate here and I didn't know they have rooftop dining. That would have been nice.

Raw food dont eat here Terrible service disgusting food The management is terrible they did not solve the issue

Amazing food, amazing service!! If you're looking for a great time and a great vibe, this is the place to be in Santa Monica! Good eats with a view! Highly recommend!!!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Treated us amazing. Food was fire. Would absolutely come back. Get the chicken wings and the seafood pasta. View on the patio is the best on the pier.

I wanted to give this restaurant a fair review because the food was surprisingly decent, atmosphere is great and the service was good prior to an incident that occurred. To be fair, I am assuming that there were a few customers that tried burning this restaurant in the past and since it 's been a while since we have been to SM, the treatment we received may have been due to dishonest customers.....we had ordered 4 appetizers that included an order of Calamari that never came out.....we brought it to the servers attention which prompted him to check the order list and consult with his manager.....the manager brought out an empty plate claiming that the server picked the plate up from the table, empty with just crumbs left behind.....my wife, sister and I made it clear that we did not receive or eat the appetizer....the manager and server insisted but instead of arguing my wife frustratingly said that It 's ok, we will pay for something that we were not served! We are not going to argue about a $10 Calamari.....I wanted to go as far as telling the manager to check surveillance cameras because he kept on accusing us of eating the appetizer but my wife said it is not worth the headache.....we continued to be respectful especially to our server who was very nice and polite but for the other server and manager to go out of their way to fight for a $10 appetizer , it is something that I have never experienced before.....at the end of the day, asides from being accused of being appetizer thieves , it was a semi pleasant experience but this rating could have easily been 4 stars if it weren 't for that incident.....there 's no 2.5 stars so had to adjust the rating to a 2.....keep eating and enjoy ya 'll
