Amazing spot! Cocktails are super fun and creative. Service is spot on (+tableside service.) The courtyard is beautiful and the interior is a welcomed reminder of a traditional east coast steakhouse meets Hollywood hangout. And for the most important part of the review… The food...Read More

I’ve loved going to The Buffalo Club for years. It never disappoints. From the phenomenal service to the astounding food, this latest visit did not disappoint. The Beef Bourguignon was to die for. This latest experience was no exception, the zucchini blossom starters are delicious....Read More
Dine inDinner$50–100Atmosphere: 5Would not recommendNot sureThis place tends toward nice steaks, fish, and lamb and the menu is rather limited. Though there may be a vegetarian option or two, it would not be my go-to place for vegetarian or vegan.Plenty of parkingFree street parking, ValetThere are meters, but they don’t run after 6 and there are plenty of spaces on the street. They have valet for those who prefer.

I loved Beef bourguignon! It is pretty heavy and I liked it. Balancing with the pasta under it. Open air, great welcoming.

A delicious dinner. Opened in 1994 by the writer, producer, and creator of Miami Vice, the TV show, it has really turned into a neighborhood gem. Originally a dive bar it’s in a more industrial part of Santa Monica, but that just means that...Read More

Food: Delicious. However, the entrée portions are not all equal. The Impossible Moussaka would more accurately have been listed as an appetizer compared to the other entrées. Try the squash blossoms. Ambience: flowering, vined courtyard lit by sunlight and string lights at sunset. Great place...Read More

This place is such a hidden treat. I had no idea it existed but it's like taking a step back in time to a combination of a rack pack hideaway and a colonial tavern. Tableside beef bourgignon is so random but very fun....Read More

I love this place! The staff is wonderful, they always remember us and the food is delicious! It was windy and cool, so we were inside and it felt like an old movie. Listening to wonderful Sinatra music, that turned to James Bond soundtracks. Just...Read More

The food is amazing! Duck confit and the dumpling are great! The casserole and the sea bass delicious and the Buffalo bars for dessert. Definitely going back. If you like a mix of all meats and flavors the casserole is the option. Something more light but...Read More

My work had our holiday party on the patio in the back. They don't show any vegan options on their menu... but, they were accommodating and were able to give me 4 choices for entrées and a few of the other sides were vegan too....Read More

5 star service, incredible food and cool vibe. Highly recommend this spot. Pork chop with crispy sage and apple stuffed with cheddar mashed potatoes was stellar. Finished with sticky toffee pudding. Can't wait to return.
