Can't go wrong at Houston's. I love that place. They used to have the best cedar plank salmon I've ever taste. I highly recommend the prime rib or the baby back ribs. The caesar salad is bomb too!!

+1 for Houston's. Good food/environment. I usually get the baby back ribs or the Hawaiian steak.

houston's is good, but you should consider Boa if you're going to be in santa monica.

Houston's is great. Went there the first time while on a business trip.
it was right across the corner from my hotel. Funny thing is that I ended up eating by myself . They have these cool video cameras around to view the sushi chef's doing their job. I went a second time with my nephew when he drove me ver to the hospital (UCLA) the night before my next appointment. Deffinitely a great pick though. I'll go again when I have the chance. They also had a very good artichoke appetizer to think about.

Later,

Ray

Im definately gonna check out Boa, nick & stefs and maison akira soon. ive been running out of places where to dine at. ill keep those in mind.

I ate at the Odyssey...food was mediocre. then i took her to the Castaway and it was way better than the odyssey. She also took me to Ketchup. good american food there, especially the variety of sauces.
