We had a party of 12. They put us in a lovely private room. The service was exceptional. All twelve entrees arrived at the same time. The food was delicious. Needless to say, the restaurant is located right on the beach with lovely views. We visited the Marion Davies Guest House (walking distance) afterwards. It made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

This was a wonderful cafe restaurant and definitely making it a regular place to dine when at Santa Monica beach. It's a certifed green restuarant that provides "premium ingredients, cage free eggs, grass fed beef, no hormones or antibiotics with the chicken, and follow the monterey bay aquarium seafood watch, while purchasing local and organic ingredients when possible" as stated on their menu. Service: Many wait staff ready and attentive to your dining experience. They all work hard as I see them moving and grooving while on shift. They were professional. Location: Directly off of the sands of the beach, you can eat a great meal and walk it off along the walk/bike path and enjoy the rest of the day. Location is PERFECT. There is public (paid) parking lot and an adjacent small kids park so the kids can play while you wait for your food. It's the best! You can sit indoors or outdoors with umbrellas over the tables. If you sit outside, you're sitting on actual sand which is fun. Food: DELICIOUS! The prices are moderately high but with inflation, where is it not? It's a green restuarant so delicious AND healthy so it's worth every penny!

Went there for lunch, I ordered farm house omelette with sides of salad and mini scone. My friend ordered breakfast burrito. Omelette is just like usual omelette, nothing super surprising. Food delivery speed is quick. With a couple of drinks, the outdoor dining on the beach is fabulous, simple table and chairs with shading umbrellas, one of the best relaxing dining environments I have been to. For that reason, I recommend it.

We had an amazing breakfast at "Back on the Beach"! The restaurant sits right on the oceanfront, offering beautiful sea views that made our meal extra special. The staff was attentive, and everything we ordered was delicious - from the Ocean House Scramble and Breakfast Pasta Papa to the French toast. Portions were generous, and we couldn't finish it all! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Santa Monica. Highly recommended!

I LOVE Back on the Beach! I miss Back on Broadway, only because the Broadway location was closer to home. My friend and I enjoy coming here after our power walk on the pedestrian path. Today we got Jason as our server! ( Read my previous review where Jason was our server) He remembered us from last time! He has the best smile and great energy! I ordered my usual, the Fred Salad. I really enjoy the chicken salad that is mixed with the romaine lettuce and potato pieces, but the dressing MAKES this salad so yummy! Today my friend ordered the Shashuka and she really enjoyed it! I tasted it and it was GOOD!!! This shashuka has a lot of wonderful flavors: tomatoes, onions, peppers, and meat! Tip: arrive early on the weekends, if you want to park at the Annenberg Beach Lot. By 9:30am, the parking lot was packed and the restaurant was full! Thank you Jason for another great service!

Wonderful service, nice to eat outdoors on the sand with the view of the beach in the distance. My friend and I ordered the Back on the Beach burgers with fries at $22 each. Burgers were fresh, but bland and could have been tastier with red onions or sautéed onions and pickles. Parking lot was packed at $3/hr. We parked for 2 hours. It took a few minutes not seconds for our ticket to come out of the parking machine in Spanish. It stalled after it had already accepted my credit card charge of $6. Nice ambience, but I wouldn't be back for the food.

Service has always been great! The waiters are super friendly and attentive... The outdoor seating has an unobstructed view of the beach AND you are can have your feet in the sand which makes the experience so comforting and special! They have plenty of beers on tap, along with cocktails that they make in house. I love getting the Back On the Beach Burger with a side salad... the food comes out pretty quickly! I honestly feel like I'm on vacation whenever I sit outdoors at Back on the Beach and am so glad to visit after my bike rides in Santa Monica :)

It has very good parking, the rainbow trout was delicious, and it's on the beach dining with great views. Before or after dining, go for a walk on the beach! The service was good as well.

How lucky are we to have such a beautiful setting for breakfast at the beach. Yes it's paid parking. But it's truly worth it given the wonderful location and breakfast experience. We were seated immediately out doors under an umbrella and soaked up the Santa Monica beach view. There was a family having breakfast, while the kids played at a nearby swing set. What a great place to people watch....folks were jogging or riding by. Our coffee and drink orders came readily. We ordered Huevos Rancheros, breakfast burrito, and blueberry pancakes. All were delicious. Service was attentive and our drinks often replenished. They didn't rush us out... told that it was a quiet morning. It had been overcast and not too many people waiting to get in. I'm thinking on busy warm weekend they might rush people along. But not today, we enjoyed our breakfast and sights. Afterwords we took a nice stroll down to the water along the boardwalk... nice we didn't have to take off our shoes. All in all, awesome food and scenery. We'll be back.
