Fairmont Miramar - Hotel & Bungalows 4 stars

This was the highest-rated sushi restaurant near to my hotel in Santa Monica, so I tried it out. I had the omakase, which was fantastic. I would say that for the price and how much food it was (a lot) I will probably order ala carte when I am there next. And I will go back. Shout out to chefs Masa, Kei, and wait staff Donna and Charlotte who were fantastic. They really made for an enjoyable evening.

When you come to the Miramar, do hit the Lobby Lounge and make a point of asking for Angelo. Best authentic quality of service you will find nowhere else in the city. Drinks are great and the kitchen is legendary.

Awesome service with smile! Greeted us nicely and provided good advice on a good breakfast place and offered to bring us back. Put a very favourable impression of the hotel and will come back many times.

We just had an amazing dinner at the Fig! After being told this morning that there were no happy hour reservations to be had except to line up for bar seats, we arrived at 5 to find two fabulous seats at the end of the bar. The service was exceptional! It was such a great experience to sit at the bar and take in all the workings of the team. Jon, Christian and Ed worked like a well oiled machine. After 26 years in the restaurant business ourselves, we appreciate genuine caring in one’s service. In a very busy and sometimes tight space, they zigged and zagged flawlessly. As the restaurant flooded with customers at 5:00 they expertly took and filled the orders seamlessly. Like a duck, floating calmly on the surface while his legs are working tirelessly beneath the surface, they attended to each customer with laser focus. The recommendations of the food and wine were spot on. The timing of each course gave us time to savour the offering. Our water glasses never went empty. We have always enjoyed the experience of wonderful service at many Fairmont Hotels. This team exceeded our expectations. Sitting at the bar initially sounded like a disappointment but without a doubt, this was one of our most enjoyable experiences at any restaurant.

We always come here on the weekends with a great food and service. Everyone here is very friendly and loving. Today with met a new staff named German, Such a nice gentleman and caring. Atmosphere is very pleasant next to the ocean. We usually go for a walk on the beach which is 5 minutes walk.
