Reviews for R+D Kitchen in Santa Monica, CA
The food is very nice and comfortable. Their hamburger is one of the best hamburgers that you can find. The meat is very good... and does not smell meaty. One of the features that I love about r&d is there carrot cake and the coffee is really excellent ontop of that the ambience and the staff make you feel very comfortable and you enjoy your meal there. What they could improve isbasically the french fries. The french fries is okay but it can be better especially when they're charging $7 for the frenchfries Read more
Great lunch and dinner gastropub-esque place. The menu is small but everything is prepared well with high-quality ingredients.... For Montana Ave, it's not especially pricey and the wait staff is very pleasant and professional. Worth a visit. Read more
Nice place. Good food and service. The beef ribs are delicious, the cheeseburger was okay ! The place was crowded but we were... seated right away (two people). Read more
Everyone should try the CHICKEN MEATBALL! The combination of three types of sauces - cream, cheese or mustard(not sure),... barbeque - and the chicken meatballs were exceptional. Their cheese burger was also amazing thanks to perfectly cookedmedium-rare patty and fresh veggies. The portion of the burger was huge enough to share. Considering the portion, they aren'toverpriced. On top of that, their ambience was great, and service was decent. I highly recommend this place both for a datenight and family gathering. Additional information: it wasn't that hard to find street parking on Saturday night. As it is apopular restaurant, we had to wait 40 mins on Saturday night around 6:30pm. Having said that, it's worth waiting! Read more
We had dinner here last night, they do not accept reservations but we arrived and they kindly put us on the wait list. Said it... would take about 25 minutes and they would send a text (we went for a walk) they contacted us very soon, we were happy. However,the entrance and the bar area were insanely crowded, there should be a control of how many people they let in. The service wasexcellent our waiter Austin was amazing, they paid attention to everything needed, refilling water, bringing cutleryimmediately, no complaint about it. About the food, the wild mushroom was absolutely delicious, the potato Puree amazing,creamed corn was ok. The crispy chicken was not outstanding at all and the fries, some were hard as a rock and others not friedeven. Martini was excellent just as my husband ordered it, Kettle one, extra dirty, 3 olives. The place was cold and almostuncomfortable, people zipping up their coats. How can it be this cold inside a restaurant? Would I go back? No. Read more
Tasty. Fresh. Friendly. Class. Enjoyed a couple of very good meals here. Roast chicken cooked perfectly with a delicious salad.... Also the crispy chicken sandwich, which is a real showpiece. Service outstanding. Prices are worth the quality. I'll be back. Read more
This place just breathe service and quality. And that's what you get when you go here. A tips is to try the chicken sandwich ,... and don't forget to order a fresh Margarita . Margaritas are amazing. Topped with their house-made sweat and sour makes them sodelicious. Soft jazz or piano in background. Beautiful design, and great decor. Afternoon brunch, dinner or just a drink? This is a good place for that! Read more
Great casual upscale restaurant with great service and food. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and lunch. I enjoyed the... piped in jazz music. I loved my gin and tonic. My husband enjoyed his Perfect Martini and his Manhattan. I really loved thecrunch and flavor of the Asian Noodle Salad. My husband enjoyed his Petrole Sole! I will definitely come back here again!
