Santa Monica Restaurant Review - Warszawa Polish Cuisine

Warszawa Polish cuisine located in the heart of Santa Monica!

From the outside Warszawa looks like a rundown little yellow house, but upon entering the restaurant you are instantly surrounded by pleasing aromas and friendly and attentive staff.

The back patio at Warszawa is fun, funky, trendy and upbeat! When we were at Warszawa they were showing extreme snow sports on their LARGE outdoor screen. When we saw LARGE, we mean LARGE, it was almost like a movie theater. The atmosphere was fantastic and the patrons were friendly and easy going.

We had the filet mignon and it was extraordinary, flavored with juniper and Cabernet lingonberry sauce, and your choice of mushroom or garlic butter sauce. It really was tasty!

You are in for a treat when you visit Warszawa, their distinctive flavors, foreign influences and abundant vegetarian dishes make this polish restaurant one of the best!

Santa Monica Landmark Hotels - Review

When visiting Santa Monica, two of the K Hotels' properties should be on the top of your list.  Though a bit on the pricey side, I have to say that if I were visiting Santa Monica, I’d love to stay at the newly renovated Shangri-La, as it is central to everything that Santa Monica offers and is a beautiful building.

Overlooking the Pacific since 1939, the recently-renovated Hotel Shangri-La is an Art Deco Landmark located on Santa Monica’s gorgeous Ocean Ave. A stone’s throw from the beach, as well as the great shopping at the Third Street Promenade, the Shangri-La is a stylish haven to see and be seen. The hotel’s gourmet restaurant, The Dining Room, offers first-class and farm-fresh cuisine, while the rooftop bar offers great views and a tranquil atmosphere. The Shangri-La is located at 1301 Ocean Ave. Rooms start around $300.


The Ambrose is a uniquely-crafted 77-room oasis with refined modern style. Designed with their sustainable hospitality in mind, the Ambrose is the first-ever U.S. hotel to earn LEED-EB certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The Ambrose also features in-room dining from Urth Caffe, Los Angeles’ premiere healthy eatery. The Ambrose is located at 1255 20th Street in Santa Monica. Rooms start at around $230.
