The Long Awaited Santa Monica Seafood is Open

Yes, the new location for Santa Monica Seafood has opened. After checking it out last week it seems like many locals have been waiting for this spot to open up. The fish as always is amazing, and the oyster bar is a great idea, but seats are really limited and we ended up waiting for over 45 mins. I’m sure they will get it all figured out and want to go back when they do. http://www.santamonicaseafood.com/
