"Starting in 1933, the Georgian Room served stars over decades including Judy Garland and Dick Van Dyke. Santa Monica’s Italian steakhouse reopened in mid-2023 a few months after the historic Georgian Hotel a cold bar with a daily crudo kanpachi, broiled blue prawns with Calabrian chile, pasta, and a heaping tomahawk ribeye prepared on a 1600-degree broiler topped with sea salt and olive oil. Always leave room for former All Day Baby pastry chef Thessa Diadem’s gorgeous desserts." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
