Italian-Californian cuisine with ocean views & focaccia
"Sirena is a stunning all-day California Italian spot under a bougainvillea-shaded terrace on Santa Monica’s Ocean Boulevard. Given its more underrated stature at the upscale Georgian hotel, it’s usually not too difficult to get a prime ocean view from the restaurant’s streetside patio. The Pacific Ocean view pairs well with the grilled octopus, a crudo platter, pasta, chicken Milanese, and excellent desserts, including a tiramisu by lauded pastry chef Thessa Diadem." - Eater Staff
"Sirena (formerly the Restaurant at the Georgian) sits steps away from the ocean on a bougainvillea-shaded terrace. The ocean breezes pair well with everything on the Italian-inflected menu. Start with a crudo or two, along with pastry chef Thessa Diadem’s piping-hot focaccia, before digging into plates of linguine vongole, bucatini all’amatriciana, and gargenelli lamb ragu. Save room for as many desserts as possible, including the stunning, multi-layered tiramisu." - Rebecca Roland
"Sirena sits steps away from the glimmering Pacific on a bougainvillea-shaded terrace and serves some of LA’s most memorable pastas in the Westside. Whether digging into linguine vongole, bucatini all’amatriciana, or pappardelle ragu Bolognese, order a side of pastry chef Thessa Diadem’s piping-hot focaccia for sopping plates clean. Save room for as many desserts as possible." - Matthew Kang

"Christmas Day brunch and dinner will be available at this beachside Italian restaurant at The Georgian Hotel. During the day, you can find dungeness crab avocado benedicts and lobster omelettes on the menu. And once evening hits, they’ll light up their Christmas tree and shift to dinner service with dishes like beef bourguignon, lobster linguine, and butternut squash gnocchi." - cathy park, sylvio martins
