The 14 Best Restaurants Near Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade

"Thanks to being stuck on the 4th/5th Street off-ramp for 45 minutes, you completely missed the start of your movie at the AMC. Text your friends you’ll meet them afterward and go find a seat at the bar at Tar & Roses. This American/California/Whatever spot has been open since 2012, but is still one of the most consistently great dinner spots in the neighborhood. The menu covers a lot of ground, but whether it’s oxtail dumplings, mushrooms with soft eggs, or a strawberry ricotta crostata dessert, this is food that will easily fill the void of missing Fast And The Furious 27: We Drive Minivans Now." - brant cox
