I came in with a big group for a birthday dinner and we had the best time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and I feel like we got to try just about everything on the menu. The staff were really helpful in accommodating an allergy and offering suggestions. The chopped salad was honestly the star of the show. We still talk about how it was the best salad we've ever had. Some other amazing dishes were the seafood risotto, truffle pasta, spicy tuna arancini, and the smoked burrata. The desserts were amazing, every drink we had we loved. You really can't go wrong! Can't wait to go back

The patio is beautiful, the food is very good and the service is wonderful but on this, our third visit to Fia what prompted me to write this review was how warmly we were treated by the hosts. Let me set the stage. It's your 14th wedding anniversary and your 12 year old comes to you in the morning and tells you, tonight you can drop me off to soccer practice and take Mom out to dinner.... I know right, I'm so grateful. Luckily we landed on Fia after dropping him off to practice partly because it was nearby. No reservations just walk in at a fully booked restaurant. It's a small thing when someone is truly welcoming, It's a small thing when someone in the service industry knows how to truly and positively impact the experience of their clients by being accommodating, warm and kind. Go there for the experience of the space, enjoy the food and this review is an acknowledgement and appreciation of the staff in the front of the house. Thank you!

This is one of the best restaurants in LA! Prices are somewhat reasonable, every dish is incredible, and the ambiance is fantastic.

We came on a weekday so it wasn't as busy as we expected it to be, only the outside part was open when we visited, I'm guessing it's because it's a weekday and they're not expecting as many customers to dine in. The exterior was very relaxing and laid back there was enough space to maneuver around. As for the food, there are plenty of choices to try but we chose to do the steak that's good to share for two people which is about $200. It was very tender and seasoned well. It also came with some sides of veggies which is a plus. we also tried the grilled corn with truffle and it was excellent, this was the one that I enjoyed and devoured. The Caesar salad was great and crispy the Brussels sprouts were cooked just right and the serving was plenty. The only hard part about dining here is that the restroom is not baby-friendly, so if you bring your baby along and need diaper changing you will have to do so in your car which was a hassle, other than that our experience was fantastic and the staff was attentive and accommodating.

A must add to your Sunday Bottomless Brunch list. This hidden gem nestled in Santa Monica has everything you could ask for; a gorgeous garden setting, variety of delicious menu items, a wonderful staff and bottomless mimosas and margs! You order from a pre fixe menu which costs $67 per person and includes bottomless drinks, delicious array of pastries, desserts and a wide selection of entrees. We ordered the Lobster Toast and Steak and Eggs, both which were delicious. Brittany was a 10/10 as our server, she was friendly, knowledgeable as well as a great conversationalist.

I am absolutely amazed by this place! It's so gorgeous with both outside dining and an inside patio. The outside area is magical--hidden away with beautiful lights, creating a comforting and romantic atmosphere. It's a great spot for catching up with friends or having a romantic date night. The inside is more formal, while the outside has a more relaxed vibe where you can wear street-style outfits. The food was incredible! I had a vegan dinner with lasagna, cauliflower, and mushroom with oyster sauce, all perfectly made. I shared the meal and left full and happy. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but it was understandable as the place was fully packed, including the open bar. The servers were constantly running to keep all guests happy. Despite this, I'm excited to come back with my husband to try other dishes. Five stars!

This was a phenomenal experience, one that I'll remember forever. We ordered the spicy chili tuna, grilled Spanish octopus, truffle Parmesan cavatelli, sweet corn agnolotti with blue crab and lobster foam, tortellini with porcini mushrooms and other vegetables, and finally, their famous cascading tiramisu. The spicy chili tuna was a flavor bomb of cold spicy tuna and warm crispy arancini (which tasted like a fried rice circle). Flavorful but the temperature threw me off a little. The grilled Spanish octopus took a while for me to properly dissect. I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not. In the end, despite the char being a bit too strong for me, I decided that I did like the texture of the octopus and the combination of the grilled avocado and red sauce (I'm not sure what sauce this is). Out of the three pasta dishes, the corn agnolotti is, by far, the most incredible pasta dish I've ever had. The sweetness from the creamy corn-filled agnolotti paired with cardinal sauced and decorated with pieces of blue crab had created an explosion of flavors that paired together all too well. Plus, the lobster foam on top added savoriness to it to balance out the richness of the sauce. This is an ABSOLUTE MUST. The truffle pasta was a typical truffle pasta. Since I love the taste and smell of truffle, then this is the one for you. The mushroom tortellini had fresh crispy vegetables to accommodate the rich mushroom sauce. Nothing bad to say here. Finally, the dessert. It was brought out to the table with a metal cylinder. As the waiter lifted the cylinder, the cream oozed out and covered the tiramisu layers. It was also topped with an indulgent scoop of chocolate ice cream, making it the perfect way to conclude the meal. If you're in LA, definitely go visit Fia!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Monica. I love the outdoor ambiance, it's extremely peaceful and beautifully decorated with string lights. The perfect restaurant for outdoor seating on a nice summer day. Everything on the menu is meant to be shared. I highly recommend the chopped salad, raw fish dishes, Wellington steak, and of course their chocolate desserts:) My office is about 5 minutes away and I host networking events here because the staff is so friendly and attentive....

FIA has been my go-to spot lately, and it's like finding a little slice of perfection every time I walk in. The vibes are always on point, the service is top-notch, and the food is great. Their steaks? Pure magic. Always cooked just right and bursting with flavor. And let's talk about that truffle cavatelli--it's my absolute favorite truffle pasta dish in all of LA. Oh, and don't even get me started on the corn--it's seriously to die for. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I've even heard they do a tasting menu on Mondays, where you can dive into all their best dishes. Veal Parmesan 9/10 Truffle Cavatelli 10/10 Steaks 10/10 Baguette 8/10 Caesar 9/10 Chocolate dome 10/10
