Rooster

Extremely delicious! They really take care of the food. Very nice interior with an open kitchen.

Been waiting for this to open and it doesn't disappoint. I've been a few times and love sitting at the long bar, made of some sort of polished rare wood whose name I forget, and staring through the lines of bottles into the busy Santa Monica street, the window reflecting the chefs behind me grilling meats on the huge open fires and grills. It's like a piece of kinetic art. The whole room is spacious, girdered, industrial in the best way, with the kitchen and serving areas not only open but actually poking into the dining areas, to great effect. Yet the lighting, carefully chosen art, and quirky decor maintain the warmth of the space. Great bartenders, drinks, and wine selection. And oh yeah, the food is fantastic. You can go pricey with humongous prime steaks designed to share, or enjoy their almost- unadorned burger, allegedly ground from fillet and short rib, inside a sweet and delicate bun baked right there in the Red Rooster bakery in the back. All in all, fun, inviting, and delicious.

Food is incredible. Best steak I have had on the Westside. Friendly staff and amazing food. Portions are very generous.
