Came here for the first time while visiting Santa Monica on a Thursday evening. Was a refreshing experience to order at the cashier before sitting down. We ordered the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious and just the perfect size. The seafood was well made and tasted fresh. They even had a live DJ which really added to the ambience. The service was very friendly and we would definitely come back. Highly recommend this restaurant for a bite to eat.
Very nice restaurant, delicious food and drinks. The best food on Pier in Santa Monica. We were twice and for sure by next visit in LA we come there again. I recommend this restaurant.
Drinks, food, ambience, and ocean breeze was good. Had a good spot sitting outside to watch the foot traffic. The shrimp in the Shrimp tacos are the small salad shrimp, they could be bigger to provide more substance to the taco other than veggies and slaw.
Amazing place to spend a sunny afternoon. Corey behind the bar was a fabulous guy and we enjoyed chatting to him. Excellent member of staff
Awesome place. Great beers and delicious onion rings and sweet potatoes! Had a great night.
All the restaurants on the pier basically sell the same dishes but Rusty’s is exceptional. The salad and shrimp and chips were good. The portions are big, and worth it for the money.
I was there, I have good time, around peoples was ther, to, I lLove it❤️?!!!
What an unexpected yet delightful surprise. I assumed everything on the pier would be BS chain style restaurants with plastic food and worse decor. This place was different. We came on a Saturday and there was a DJ in the corner so the music was fun and lively. I ordered 2 different types of Old Fashions (both on the bartenders recommendations…both were fantastic) and my lady had a frozen pink thingy (strawberry something) that she raved about. We played pinball and darts (I lost…but this was after 2 drinks so I blame the whiskey and demand an * next to the L). The coconut shrimp was excellent as was the Seafood Pasta (I substituted chicken). The ambience was awesome. The bartender (James) was a reason we will be back. And the manager (Jason I think) was super welcoming and made us feel like we were at our favorite local dive bar back home. Id give this place more stars if I could. Kudos.
Our favorite spot for chill vibes, great views, and wonderful service! The food is top notch and the bartenders go above and beyond with their cocktails. ? ?
Good menu of different seafood as well as normal bar Foods. The shrimp and chips is a fantastic option. A modern style bar where you order ahead and you pick up once the order is done yourself.Definitely worth a try if you are on the Santa Monica Boardwalk looking for a drink and some snacks.
