Summer House Santa Monica

Total brunch scene with the waits to match. But, the food is great and so are the cocktails . I loved the stacked turkey sandwich and the gimlet .

Summer House Santa Monica keeps its grade-A cookie selection on display right by the front door—the temptation is high. It also has plenty of gluten-free options to keep your tummy happy. Read more

Save room! Cocktails , appetizers (yuzu scallops ) and salad (power greens), homemade pasta (esp the short rib ravioli ), amazing entrees like the surfer style fish tacos , steak frites ...and desserts !

Great date night spot that perfectly captures a certain kind of bright California vacation ambience. The cocktails are complex and well-crafted, and the food is as well . Try the guac and the steak !

Lovely place for an afternoon drink or bite. Lots of great healthy dishes . Loved their salads , calamari and Brussels sprouts . The ice cream sandwich was really good bit way too much for 1.

As a starter,guacamole&handmade chips is recommended,enough for 4 ppl.As main dish,center-cut fillet and katsu style chicken were delicious and satisfying.Nice ambiance and book ur table before going

Favorite place to eat/drink in Lincoln Park . Lunch is fantastic. Take home some English muffins and share some cookies/pastries on your walk or ride home. Awesome place to bring family and friends.

Great spot! It took us a really long time to decide what we wanted because everything looked so good! Went with the tuna tacos which were really yummy! Definitely recommend! Cant wait to go back!

Amazing avocado toast and sweet fries for brunch , great calamari and sushi for dinner and amazing vine , which amazing vibes are there!

The cookies and desserts in the front are by far some of the best I've ever had. Their food is amazing also! Loved their chips and guac and their vegetables are all so good! Loved it all!

Amazing!! Waitstaff is wonderful. Especially Paul he treated us like queens & put up with our silly games. We will be back for sure! Smothered fries are delicious.

The whitefish was phenomenal! Also loved the palm fizz cocktail ! It was surprisingly packed at 8:30 on a Tuesday so definitely make a reservation . Get the burrata

Went here for brunch . I really enjoy the interior design , it's cool. Love the cinnamon rolls . My salmon platter was fine, nothing amazing.

This is a gorgeous restaurant part of the Lettuce Entertain You chain. Food and service were phenomenal and I highly recommend coming here. I had the pork shank and it was delish!

From its California inspired ambience to scrumptious food & countdown to summer in a patio like dining room, I loved this place. Breakfast tostadas are must eat here , trust me & get them !

One of my favorite spots in Chicago. Skip the entrees and order a bunch of apps to share. Brunch is also amazing. Eggs Benedict hash with bacon . Yum.

A very underrated burger - lettuce, grilled onions , cheddar , and thousand island dressing . Definitely gives DMK and other top tier burgers a run for their money.

Had a reservation for 830, didn't get seated until 9. Service was less than stellar, but food is worth it. Chips/Gauc amazing. Trifecta fudge cake not as described, still tasty. Cookies 2 go!

A great place to get that summer vibe during the cold Chicago winters. And fantastic food! The other tips don't steer you wrong. Must haves: calamari & burrata .

Great atmosphere, service and menu. Calamari was fantastic and so was the French dip (make sure to splurge and get it with bacon and cheddar ).

Loved the atmosphere! Staff was nice fun and professional. Food was great and it's reasonably priced. Can't wait to try some of their yumny looking cocktails

The morning egg sandwich is really good...and fills you up! The Summer House at O'Hare is in a great location...between Terminal 1 and 2, near Wicker Park Sushi .

The wine list is solid and stocked with mostly California wines worth ordering, like the rich and fruity Frog’s Leap cabernet . Read more

Love the feel, makes you forget you're in Chicago for a while. Service was great and so was the good, especially my side of brussels sprouts .

The cocktails are fantastic. Also the front windows open up making it an ideal place to grab a drink on a nice summer evening.

The staff can be off-putting. It all depends on your server and most important the hostess at the door.

I had the daily special which was a lobster roll , it was very tasty. The fries are thin and crispy , very good!

Great vibe in here but the breakfast sandwiches/burritos were massively under-seasoned. I was chasing each bite with bacon to give it some flavor.

Never again choose between a chocolate-chip cookie and a Rice Krispie treat . This slightly salty and super-fudgy cookie is studded with chunks of the classic bar . Read more

Seafood heavy menu was nice but the atmosphere is what you pay for. Make a reservation and dress for the occasion. I suggest the sushi but avoid the tacos . No one wants rice & beans in this place.

Really nice space and good food. Mezcal mule is not as smoky at they warn you so don't be shy. Just go for it.

Definitely try their calamari and grab a cookie on your way out! Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere and knowledgable staff .

This place rocks!! The food is pretty awesome. They have fun drinks and good wine selections . Had the Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes at brunch .

Probably the best LEY group restaurant ! Terrific food, atmosphere and service. Great for brunch or dinner .

Do not skip the burrata . It's amazing. Seriously. Do not mess this up.

Really tasty food that’s well portioned and fresh. Space itself is very well lit too and good ambiance

Lobster and fritt was right on so was the birthday cookie . Caramelized Brussel sprouts small portion but we're very tasty.

The grilled veggie taco was awesome plus the "a hot mess fries " were deli to start with.

Great food and atmosphere! Love the set up and hang out area in the front.

Try the nigiri with crunchy rice . Great cocktails . Fries are a lot like McDonald's in a good way.

The banana and blueberry French toast is to die for!

Good food and even better vibes. As the name suggests, better in the summer with nice weather outside

Their gluten free menu is super impressive, loved the gluten free pasta and gluten free burrata

Nice, fresh food . The fluke appetizer was great. The tacos were good too but the rice was a little under cooked.

tuna tostadas are great. extensive wine list and delicious cocktails as well .

Pizza and atmosphere are so great! A great date or brunch with friends

The waffles were delicious. The sevice was slow . Food arrived cold but server quickly replaced items at no charge.She was wonderful Atmosphere great.

The Bitches say: B. A sunshine oasis in central Lincoln Park and an ideal place to go with girlfriends, on a date, or with family. Read more

Light and airy and can make Chicago feel like summer even on a snowy day !
