    Been there often especially for work functions. This time it was dinner and cocktails with friends. They’ve raised their prices significantly I think. The food is tasty but overpriced. The service was okay/good. Overall a fun place but service could be better and menu variety/rates could be better.

    We had a deliciously extravagant lunch - the $32 burger is the bomb! Not for all the time at these prices, but definitely a nice setting for a tasty meal.

    Calabra is a favorite Santa Monica spot. Hostess was lovely and accommodating & our server was excellent! And we saw a double rainbow from the roof, which made our dinner that much more special.
