Restaurants near Santa Monica Place Shopping Center

We were there around 3 pm on Christmas day and the young lady at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and efficient. After checking in early, we only waited a short time for our table. Our server was Joseph and he was also very welcoming and efficient. He made us feel like our business was valuable. He asked numerous times if we needed anything and was prompt to bring whatever was requested. Our chef was Nmemon (spelling??) and he did an excellent job in preparing our food. We come to Benihana's frequently and will continue to do so with employees like Joseph and the front desk hostess. Thanks for an outstanding Christmas dinner.

Loved my meal! The staff was great, we were seated quickly, everything was wonderful.

The food was excellentllent, with nice portions. The service was very good. We had a good time, and the noise level was acceptable. We could hear each other talk

Fourth consecutive Christmas Eve dinner with family. Warm ambiance, staff, and overall great experience. Food is consistently good with outstanding service.

My favorite restaurant in LA hands down. Great food, great ambience, great service. And those roses!
