You have to get the eggplant dip and the spicy vodka pasta! ### primasplates — 5.0/5 · Aug 30, 2022 One of my top recommendations for brunch or sunset food spots! Perfect for date nights, girls day out, or drinks with a big group of friends! The atmosphere, good food, and great drinks make it one of my favs in Santa Monica ### hannahbarton — 3.5/5 · Jun 9, 2023 The breezy, open plan, loungelike aesthetic of Elephante is flawless. Tulum-inspired decor? Yes. This is the westside of LA… and it’s done beautifully. The Cactus Garden Entry Room is the smaller of the two spaces but try to get the Sunset Room for the panoramic ocean view. The food is just ok, but again, here for the view and the vibe. We added a breakfast pizza to share to our order and I’m so glad because portions are on the smaller side. Overall, a solid 7/10 brunch spot! ### heycosmos — 5.0/5 · Jul 28, 2023 Nice view ### eri_delicious — 4.4/5 · Sep 27, 2023 Gotta check out this fun restaurant in Santa Monica for amazing ocean views and delicious food and cocktails ### imstillhungry — 4.9/5 · Oct 22, 2023 ### ytbossbae — 5.0/5 · Jul 19, 2024 Must go restaurant in Santa Monica 🤩 @ytbossbae Came here on Wednesday night at 9 and this place was packed! Beautiful and relaxing ambiance! Lots of seats and different areas! There are two bars front and back! The back is where you see outdoor and there are balcony seats with heaters as well. Really cozy n romantic! We had biz dinner so it was a bit loud to hear each other, so dinner dates are recommended to seat next to each other to hear better 😉 Food was great as well as service! ### schylarsolomon — 4.8/5 · Nov 5, 2024 They are famously known for their beautiful views and whipped eggplant dip with freshly made pita bread which hits the spot everytime. Love the ambiance here! ### pollinpauline — 5.0/5 · Mar 27, 2025 Amazing lunch special during the week ### sethbeard — 5.0/5 · Mar 19, 2025 You can’t beat the food, drinks and VIEW. Good luck getting a table. It’s incredibly difficult.
