The Courtyard Kitchen - Santa Monica

Very nice outdoor and indoor spaces. Have only had breakfast and brunch there and everything we have tried has been very good. Coffee drinks are just fair though. Always had excellent waiters. Plenty of food on your plate. It is a favorite stop.Kid-friendliness: Yes esp outsideWheelchair accessibility: Yes in front. Cobblestone outdoor doors would be more difficult.

Perfect spot to catch up with a friend for lunch! Lovely selection of light flavorful salads and superb wine menu. I ordered the blackened shrimp salad. Definitely will be coming back to try dinnerFood: 5/5

This place is really awesome! When you walk in, you'll notice how cool it is as they've set up the restaurant in different sections of an old building. And guess what? They have a bunch of outdoor seating, and they're super pet-friendly, so you'll see loads of adorable dogs around. The best part is the service – it's super quick and friendly, and they've got plenty of staff making sure you never run out of water and that your table stays clean.Now, let's talk about the food. It's honestly amazing! It's hard to find a place these days that serves such delicious dishes, way better than what you might cook at home. And here's the kicker – even though the area is pretty fancy and upscale, the prices here won't break the bank.If you're looking for recommendations, you've got to try their avocado toast and iced coffees – so yummy! And my wife can't get enough of their smoothies; they're her absolute favorite.Long story short, this place is a real gem. The atmosphere, the service, the food, and the prices – everything's just perfect. There are a lot of choices to eat in this area for brunch, but this place is not to be missed.

Such a cute space with a well curated menu. I spent a perfect afternoon with my sister on the back patio. We had the Spicy ABLT and the Harissa Shrimp Bowl, each prepared with care. Our service was well executed and the lunch was a lovely treat.Food: 5/5

Loved this spot in Santa Monica! It was easy to make reservations on Yelp. Definitely recommend the honey wheat pancakes with blueberries. The texture was perfect. I like 'em crispy on the edges. My bf had the protein omelet which was good too. Location is also perfect if you plan a day at the beach or as a pre-hike grub.
