Santa Monica, Los Angeles · bar
Since 1979, Michael’s has been Santa Monica’s leafy, art-lined temple to California cuisine. The patio hums with clinking glassware and Hockney prints, while the kitchen turns out elegant plates like chawan mushi with uni or Wagyu bolognese without flinching. Pro tip: amazing selection of off-menu Tomales Bay oysters.
Happy hour runs Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
