Amazing brunch experience at The Penthouse at Huntley Hotel ☀️ We ordered the Burrata Pizzetta and the Black Truffle Pizzetta. Both were flavorful, light yet satisfying, and perfect for brunch. The views are unbeatable, with a beautiful panorama of the ocean and the city that makes the whole experience feel extra special. Great daytime vibe, delicious food, and a must-visit spot in Santa Monica. 🌊✨

We popped upstairs for a late dessert while staying at the hotel and were so taken by the atmosphere and the views that we decided to stay for dinner — zero regrets. The food was amazing and the service was incredibly attentive. The duck completely won over my husband (and that’s no small feat — he’s tough to impress when it comes to food 😄). Our complements to the chef! Super friendly and accommodating staff. We meant to come back for breakfast because the menu looked delicious, but got held up… clearly just another excuse to return!

Went on a rainy day and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. The views were stunning even through the weather, giving the whole place a cozy, cinematic vibe. I ordered the burrata pizza along with a cold brew and a cappuccino — everything was delicious and presented beautifully. Such a lovely spot; I’d definitely come back.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Great views, amazing service and tasty food. We shared the beef wellington which was made to perfection. Their drinks are great and they have a large selection of wines.

Upon walking in I was greeted immediately. The hostess was very quick and professional. This place during happy hour is SUPER crazy in a good way. EXCELLENT place to network. A lot of very nice, good looking and open people. At this visit I was here for dinner time though. So lets move onto the food and atmosphere. During dinner it's far more of a romantic and upper scale atmosphere and scene. This place is a GREAT place to take a date and or someone you love. This place is NOT for kids. I repeat DO NOT bring your kids here. It will ruin the entire atmosphere of what this place is for everyone around you. Moving onto the food. I've had a few things from here throughout the years. But I will write about my current visit. Since that's the most updated menu. The grand seafood tower. Incl
