Just love the casual laid-back dining experience this restaurant offers. Right in the heart of the city serving a variety of pizzas, american style burgers and a selection of beer. Do check out their daily specials.
Great pizza, great cocktails and great prices. Love the setting and the friendly waitstaff. Definitely a good spot for a quick bite and a drink after work.
I got takeaway breakfast from here 3 days a week for about 2 months. Usually went with toast which is a generous serving and a good price ($4 for 2 slices of sourdough with spread). I dined inside one time for a team breakfast. There were plenty of tables available but it was a hot day so sat inside a high bar style table. I had the haloumi bruschetta with poached eggs and pesto sauce. The dish itself was quite nice, generous portion, flavoursome. Eggs were cooked well, runny on the inside. My criticism would be the time it took the food to come out. It was a weekday morning when we dined here and there weren't a lot of other diners there. We waited about 30 minutes to get our food. Besides the wait, I quite enjoyed the food and would be interested in trying other options off the dine in menu.
Great lunch spot but most importantly great great coffee spot. I've always had service coffee here. I love the lunch variety and it's vedy conveniently located for me.
We came here for a mid-week lunch and were seated quickly. Staff were abundant and always on hand so I thought the service for our whole meal was great. I ordered the vegetarian pizza. Roasted vegetables, pesto, feta, olives and rocket. It was delicious. Often vegetarian pizzas can be very bland or just a bit boring but this one was excellent, packed full of flavour and I really enjoyed it. Great crispy base too. My husband chose the chicken parmigiana which came with chips and salad. A generous size meal, he enjoyed the whole thing, especially the tasty parmigiana. I really liked Santa Monica, it had a fresh, relaxed vibe with excellent service, delicious flavoursome meals and terrific value as it's on the Entertainment Card. Great spot.

Love the ambience ... place is super cute and homey. I only ordered a cappucino and a cookie for my daughter so can’t say much about the food. Service was good ... friendly and fast.
Sorry, forgot to take picture of the coffee and cookie 🍪
Had the Santa Monica burger... Only one word needed: Good. Oh also, they let us change the fries for pulled pork fries!! Amazing, love the atmosphere there too.
Shame it's only open M-F though.
I've eaten here a multiple times, and ordered their food from uber eats more than plenty as well. The food is always good, but ofcourse there are days better than others (I've considered the time factor with delivery). Service is quick but some workers aren't so polite. The ambience is great for a casual get together with friends or even a relaxed chill date. Overall, I return to this place often because the burgers and chips are exceptional.
Came here late on a Monday night looking for a bite to eat. Ordered the Santa Monica burger and it was phenomenal, one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Service was great, burger came quick and the staff were friendly and didn't rush us out the door even though they were about to close up. I also loved the decor here and the city surrounding the place looked awesome. Highly recommended.
Ate here on my own on a work trip to BNE. Didn't feel uncomfy as a single female traveller. The decor resembled a franchise type place like Hogs Breath, minus the kids. I ordered the prawns linguine in chilli tomato sauce and a glass of Argentinian red. Pasta was slightly over cooked and prawns soft - I was wondering if they were frozen and reheated... upbeat music and friendly officious waitresses. I probably wouldn't come here with a date or on a gals night out, but good for the lone traveller and even families. I shoulda known from the large laminated menus not to expect gourmet food..!
Great ambience with live music! Waiting staff were attentive and friendly. Food was perfect. Portion of onion rings was large enough for our party of five to share, as we all have our own mains. My steak was nicely done too. However, I had to order it to be cooked to Rare although I usually take Medium Rare (I noticed steaks in Australia tend to be more cooked than other countries). Photo is showing Rare steak.
The service was great and the outside area was pleasant, although it was at capacity, I still enjoyed the atmosphere outside… Not overcrowded, and I could hear everyone at our table of twelve clearly.
The food was priced as expected ($17 for my burger), and in my opinion it was not up to expectations. I ordered the chilli cheese burger, which comes with a side of chips. The burger, although tasty, wasn’t nearly spicy enough to earn its name, and the chips were textured as though they were cooked earlier in the day, and had been waiting specifically to be served up to me at lunchtime. I didn’t finish them.
I would go here again, but given another option to eat and drink outdoors, I’d probably choose the alternative.
We had our wedding reception there. I could not fault them. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. Staff were super friendly and very attentive to all our needs. Highly recommend this place to anyone. We’ll definitely come back again. Thank you.
All I have to say is wow! Everytime I come here with my work colleagues, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Any request we ask is met and the staff are always comfortable accomodating our needs. The ambience is nice. Love music I. Friday arvo. Order drinks from the comfort of your table. Thanks so much Santa Monica team!
Brekkie burger with hash browns and a long black coffee. Food was good for the price, coffee was ok (slightly bitter - I think they may have their machine about 3°C too hot). service was fine although it wasn't very busy.
Awesome food, super quick service, jug cocktails nice but not much alcohol in them. Kids loved the warm chocolate brownie. Antipasto platter was superb and very filling for 2 people.
Table service. Great drinks. Good vibes. Friendly staff. Simple menu with pub favorites, starters to share, and delicate desserts. Most of all, a fine mist is sprayed every few minutes to cool you off - which was enough for be refreshing yet not too much to make my hair frizz (HOW? Magic, I’m sure!)
