I get compliments on my highlights daily and won't let anyone else touch my hair color. No one can do the technique that Rachel does...I have the most rich and natural color and Rachel is a doll. Sydnee cuts long hair like no one else - she listens to what you are asking for and offers excellent suggestions. My hair has grown out thick and beautiful in her care and she is a pleasure to be around. Alexis is a genius at brows and gives each and every client focused and personal care. You want a perfectionist working on your eyebrows but she is also just a dear person! I wouldn't go to anyone else! Thomas Chance is a one-stop shop for me!
Pros: Highlights, haircut, brows
Cons: There aren't two of them all!

Whoa, I must say that this place pleasantly surprised me! Despite being packed, the servers were very attentive and nice. The big screens were top-notch and perfect for the NFL playoff games I watched. The food was also very tasty. The Turkey Burger is a must have! Prices were ok, after all this IS the promenade we're talking about. I would definitely recommend Yankee Doodles!
Pros: Good food!
Cons: Sweaty Eagles fans!

I live not to far from the La BOA. i took my friend who was wearing nice short to eat. we checked to see if it was ok before we let them park the car. as we were waiting for our table they told us we could not eat there. i would never recommend that place. i called BOA Santa Monica and ask if shorts were ok they said no problem. we drove over and the lady held a table for me so he could get severed right away. The food was amazing.. along with the staff.
Pros: the steak is OMG..

The sushi and sashimi is fresh and attractively prepared. The server kept up with our ordering pattern, but seemed a little distracted (overworked?) and it took a few reminders to keep the drinks coming in concert with the food. In general, I would give the thumbs up for taking a date or a small number of guests -- nice interior, very clean, professional service environment without the uptightness of nobu. it is more fun that ocean ave seafood (also of excellent quality, but a very predictable American experience).
Pros: Great ambience, energy, and food
Cons: Somewhat pricey

Stephanie, the aesthetician, is awesome. I was actually told by three different men that I have perfect eyebrows. What man notices perfect eyebrows? Her brazilian wax is as painless as a bikini wax can be. I was recently engaged, and I swear her super smooth bikini waxes had something to do with it. My skin was glowing after one of her mini-facials. I can't wait to try the full one hour facial. I feel totally at ease with her, even when she is waxing "down there." Thanks Stephanie! My fiance thanks you too!
Pros: I have perfect eyebrows
Cons: terminally addicted to her facials

The sandwiches are amazing! Especially the Godmother :) All the different sandwich choices are healthier than your average deli. You really can't compare this place to anywhere else. I recommend it 100% to anyone in Santa Monica who wants a delicious lunch!

One of my two favorite restaurants in California. The other is in Sacramento. We've been dining at Melisse since it opened 10 years ago and it just keeps on getting better. The room is classy and the staff taks pride in presenting and finishing at tableside the excellent dishes that come out of owner Josiah Citrin's kitchen. For a complete report on this and other favorites in L.A. go to: www.atLarrys
Pros: Class on top of class

Jiraffe is a great place to go for several occasions. I have had the most amazing food there and have enjoyed different, yet all pleasurable dining experiences. The ambiance is relaxed and not at all suffocating like other fine dining places. The service is friendly, and very attentive. Overall, however, what wins you over is the food. Generous portions and fresh seasonal products offered in various creative dishes makes you want to go back again and again. Monday Bistro menus are based on Farmers Market finds and are new each week- a steal at a prix fixe price of $38!!
Pros: Close to the Promenade
Cons: Parking

been here twice now and it's been excellent each time. No question worth trying, especially if you live in Santa Monica, or like Italian food.
Great location, easy to find parking, excellent owner, and the food will bl0w you away -
last time it was a beet stuffed ravioli like only a true Italian could make. mmm still tasting it.
Pros: Amazing italian, great ambience, excellent owner and chef
Cons: they don't deliver ; D
