"Summer House is still a very solid restaurant. The California-themed menu at Summer House has something for everyone, from kale salad to satisfying pastas and proteins for those looking for heartier options." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"The nice thing about this place is that it works for just about anyone. The menu is broad (you’ll find pastas, wood-grilled mains, and lots of stuff for gluten free folks), and the food is good, so even your friends who complain about everything will (probably) enjoy eating here. Make sure to leave them at the restaurant, though - they will completely ruin your fun at a comedy show." - adrian kane
"Along with food, Summer House Santa Monica has cookie dough available so you can bake their cookies yourself. This is very good news." - adrian kane
"LEYE’s Southern California-style restaurant will serve a multi-course Passover meal on Saturday, April 12, and Sunday, April 13, that includes traditional chopped liver alongside a vegan alternative, gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, and a choice of entree (wood-grilled Scottish salmon, braised beef short rib, or grilled Amish chicken. For carryout and delivery, place orders via Tock." - Sam Nelson
"Summer House is a good for a lot of different situations, whether it’s catching up with your vegetarian/gluten-free ex-roommate or coming alone and only getting treats from the pastry case. This versatility extends to eating with kids, since this is another spot with a dedicated children’s menu. Plus, the space is large and crowded, so any childish behavior won’t stand out (unless it’s yours—you should know better)." - adrian kane, nick allen
