Manchego
restaurant
A warm Santa Monica spot pairing Spanish small plates and fine wine with relaxed patio dining.
Description
The kitchen centers on shareable plates, turning out dishes like grilled octopus, cod croquettes, and seasoned deviled eggs alongside dates, garlic shrimp, and steak. Diner feedback notes that staples always on the menu tend to be better than newer additions, while staff keep service attentive across celebrations and everyday visits. Seating extends outside to a back patio with a noisy wall fountain, offering an open-air setting alongside the indoor dining room.
