"The Cloverfield, opening tomorrow for outdoor dining service at 5 p.m., is located across from the Santa Monica Airport in the former Spitfire Grill space. Known for thin-crust pizza, housemade pastas, burgers, steaks, salads, California craft beer, and cocktails, with Mary Thompson overseeing the beverage program and Alfred Salvatierra running the kitchen. Owned by Sean Martin, an Irish expat with a bar in London, the Cloverfield name is derived from the historical name of Santa Monica Airport, Clover Field. The venue offers nearly 100 outdoor patio seats, with future plans for indoor dining." - Farley Elliott
