The Courtyard Kitchen

The Courtyard Kitchen is a family passion project turned full-service bar and restaurant on Montana Ave in Santa Monica, first opened in 2013. The restaurant spans four distinct dining spaces, ranging from old-world charm to contemporary upscale design, all centered around an open-air courtyard setting. The menu covers American brunch classics, vacation-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, and house-made Neapolitan-style pizza, so there is something for every occasion. A zero-waste bar program reflects a genuine commitment to thoughtful hospitality. The space suits solo visits, casual group hangouts, and larger celebrations, with semi and full buyout options for private events.
