Legendary Chez Jay, est. 1959, is a Santa Monica Historical Landmark. Known for its steaks, seafood, generous drinks and comfortable atmosphere. One of the best celebrity hideaway taverns in all LA.
had Top Sirloin and Shrimp Combo. absolutely awesome. the italian salad was bit too sauced not Mediterranean kind but great place for stakes. chez knows to grill properly.
If it is on the menu for the day: try the mussels first and then follow up with the Sinatra steak. Finish with the sticky toffee cake and you'll have had a brilliant dinner! Great place :)
Steamed clams were SO good, and so was the steak my husband had later. This is a wonderful old-school bar where the drinks come with no BS and peanut shells go on the floor.
Love this old school dive bar. Great for a casual drink after dinner. If you get there late enough, they'll let you sit in a booth without ordering food.
Holy crap this is where the Pentagon Papers were handed over to the press. Such a great amount of history permeates every corner of this California classic.
Don't bother making a reso here bc no one had a clue about it when we walked in. Love the divey atmosphere with all the holiday lights. Fish was really tasty too.
The first time I ever went here, the bartender put my first drink on the house. I guess that's not really a tip, but you should take it for what it's worth. Awesome place!
I was turned on to this little dive bar by the director from Soprano's. This is a great bar close to the beach. They give you peanuts and you can eat them with disregard for where the shells end up.
