The Upper West
A lively Santa Monica neighborhood fixture pairing inventive cocktails with a globally influenced dinner menu.
Description
The kitchen balances shareable plates and hearty entrees, turning out favorites like PEI mussels, lamb and fennel flatbread, and steak tacos, with bread pudding for dessert. A moderately lively setting makes it a frequent choice for group dinners and celebrations, holding enough buzz for an evening out while keeping conversation manageable. Weekly bar specials round out the draw, anchored by a Wednesday-through-Sunday happy hour for cocktails and selected wines alongside half-off bottles on Thursdays.
