Mandy who is the Director of the events, is phenomenal! she is so gracious, kind just absolutely lovey to work with. She made sure that our Christmas party was a success! she stood on top of everything I didn't need to lift a finger it was all taken care of. Also, Adrian, who was (I believe) the Manager of the staff was amazing! So very kind professional and always made sure we had everything we needed They were all so very helpful. The staff was ABSOLUTELY Fantastic!... from the passing tray servers, the Bar tenders, to the nice guy who was cutting our Prime rib (so Delicious!) was so sweet! The food was amazingly delicious. Our company was so pleased with the service, food and the ambiance! they had a joyful time! What a beautiful Experience! Oh by the way the for those who love Charcuterie boards, they have an amazing Charcuterie layout! Everyone at the office truly had a great time and absolutely loved the venue, and the ambiance. We may consider in having our Christmas party there for 2025! My deepest gratitude to Mandy, Adriene and their Staff for making this such an extraordinary experience! Much Love to you All!

I had a great experience at The Penthouse. My husband made reservations for 12 for my birthday brunch and service was exceptional. Once my entire party was present, we were seated. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we were all good. Food and drinks were great! And the views are stunning.

This place was such a cute find. My client and I stopped here for lunch in between shooting content and it was so beautiful. The food was good (soup portion a Little small) The views were absolutely stunning, the name is called "The Penthouse" so the expensive prices did not surprise me. The elevator up was fun ! lol Cute spot for a business meeting or a date.

We visited The Penthouse last weekend. The restaurant is located at the top of the Hurley Hotel in Santa Monica, and it offers a spectacular coastline view. It all started with the elevator ride--once it began to rise, I was amazed by the stunning view, which I hadn't expected at all. I loved the elegant interior design, featuring white as the base color, along with white curtains and chandeliers; it's very romantic! The food was pretty good as well. The Grand Seafood Tower ($110) had a generous portion, including black tiger shrimp, oysters, crab, clams, scallops, and mussels. Everything was very fresh, and I especially liked the scallops. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish it all and couldn't take the leftovers because the chef told us we couldn't take raw seafood home. What a waste! So, if you have only two or three people, I suggest opting for the Petite Seafood Tower. The Truffle Cacio e Pepe ($39) was very delicious, and the Duck Duo à l'Orange ($44) was great! The Wagyu Filet Mignon ($85) was also good. The service was fantastic! Thanks to the host for arranging a table with such an amazing view and for creating unforgettable memories for us. Our server was attentive and friendly as well. Overall, we had an unforgettable dining experience at The Penthouse, and I will definitely visit again.

This place is located inside the Huntley hotel. Valet parking is available but you might be lucky with some street parking too. Hubby and I came for my birthday and the food did not disappoint. We started with the soup of the day which was potato soup. Very silky, loved the fried fennel! I got the umami steak and hubby got the branzino dish. Both were delicious 10/10! For dessert we had the chocolate "cake" which was soo good as well. The restaurant has great views of the city, 360 views. Very clean and chic. We sat in a cute little booth overlooking the city and the beach. Our servicer was great too! Very knowledgeable of the menu. They kept our glasses full too. I'd definitely recommend and hope to be back soon!

We came here for a nice dinner since we were near Santa Monica and heard a lot of good things about this place. Yes it's very classy and nice going in, and you have very nice views! We had their buratta pizzetta (which we agreed was the best), their short rib cavatelli, and their Ora King Salmon, and we were blown away not only by their presentation but also their taste. We did not regret coming here and every penny was worth it. We did also get their strawberry and cheese cake for dessert (but it was mid). We highly recommend this place! Keep in mind when making a reservation that there are multiple options available for how you want to experience your dining! Parking is valet or you have to street park, there are a couple nearby parking structures as well!

Cute place to come for drinks or dine with a view of LA. The food is descent. It's located inside the hotel. You can valet park or find street parking. Staff is nice, drinks are OK and the view is nice! Branzino was tasty- it's a small portion so if you are hungry you may need to order more. Bread- I would recommend an order of bread. Freshly baked and it was delicious! They also have fresh squeezed orange juice.
