“非常有fu✨加州貴婦早午餐風格💅 平日11.到還很空 中午就全滿了 自然採光拍照超漂亮 東西也很好吃 松露pizza點ㄌ不後悔!”

“This is one of the few places to which I would give more than five stars. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. It was very busy, and I could see why. Some places are popular because of hype or because there's not much around. This place was fantastic and deserves its great reviews. I will definitely go back and will figure out a time that's less busy. Luckily, we had reservations, so we didn't have to wait. And they gave us a table that we wanted; they were so pleasantly accommodating. I didn't expect the food to be so good, and now I want to try more. Other restaurants should take note; it's so refreshing to eat at a restaurant that is all-around excellent. Thank you!”

“The restaurant week brunch menu was simple but delicious! The mimosa pour was generous & the butterscotch pretzel sundae defied my expectations. Our server was super sweet”

“Summer House Santa Monica — це місце, в яке закохуєшся з першого погляду. Дуже світлий, просторий і стильний інтер’єр, багато природного світла та відчуття легкості, ніби ти опинився на узбережжі Каліфорнії. Страви виглядають апетитно й радують смаком — свіжі інгредієнти, гарні поєднання, все збалансовано та продумано. Особливо приємно, що тут однаково добре підходить і для сніданку, і для обіду чи вечері. Сервіс уважний, персонал привітний, подача акуратна та естетична. Загалом Summer House Santa Monica — це про атмосферу, комфорт і якісну кухню. Чудове місце для зустрічей, повільних сніданків і приємного проведення часу. Хочеться повертатися 🤍”

“First time visiting. Decided to sit at the bar since I was dining alone for lunch. Natalie behind the bar provided impeccable service, and food was just as great! The potato salad deviled eggs were simply to die for, and the spicy kale cedar salad is a perfect light lunch!”

“Yum!!! Mexican hash browns and 3 of my besties… fun brunch at Summerhouse!”

“Great meal. Only minor disappointment was a short wait , but love this place”

“Egg sandwich was extremely underwhelming, the brioche bun was neither toasted nor buttered. The tostados were delish, flavorful but not overly spicy. Despite having reservations we had to wait 20 minutes for a table for 2.”
“Our group of three had a fabulous dinner, such a happy and energizing atmosphere. Our server Lilly was outstanding, she knew exactly when to arrive and when to give us time and space to chat. We each ordered a different entree, all delicious- aloha poke bowl, fish tacos, chicken palliard, fresh, unique and perfectly presented. The ahi tuna nachos were amazing as an appetizer, highly recommend these. The rosé was crisp and beautiful. Lilly overheard us toast a birthday and surprised us with a yummy cookie and ice cream with sprinkles, complete with a candle. Every meal at Summer House is truly a happy summer feeling!”
