Le Great Outdoor Restaurant Santa Monica Reviews
Love this spot for a cute lunch outdoors.
Perfect place to catch up with friends or go out for a work team outing. The lunch combo (Farmers Lunch) is my favorite because you get a balanced variety. You choose a protein, grains, and veggies, as well as a drink. My favorite is the chicken skew

I always get the chicken skewers as they are so good and always delicious. This time I tried the mushroom medley, it was good. We also got the goat cheese toast which I have to say was so good! Everyone enjoyed its vibes are always good here.
With a 6 o'clock reservation and after one hour of ordering
With a 6 o'clock reservation and after one hour of ordering a full course dinner, the hostess asked me to leave so she could have the table for others. If I were eating dessert, I would've still been there. She actually used the words."
A true hidden gem in Santa Monica! Went for the first time
A true hidden gem in Santa Monica! Went for the first time in September of 2025 and got to enjoy the Summer Menu. We were blown away by the quality and flavor of every dish, seasoned to perfection and phenomenal sauces. Presentation was beautiful and
Super overpriced.
Portions are tiny. It's "farm to table" but it just tastes like grocery store vegetables. $18 for a single cob of corn is insane. Cauliflower was straight up bad. The chicken skewer was good but just so overpriced for what you get. Jus

Really liked this place! My sister recommended it and I get why. There is no issue with parking and you don't have to pay for it, which is a big deal for Santa Monica! We sat outdoors and loved the outdoor seating options. We ordered the brusc

The vibes are adorable and the food looks great, but overall taste was just ok!!! Was so excited and ready to be blown away, but nothing really did that for me. Great service and ambiance though.
Had a wonderful anniversary date at Le Great Outdoor.
Everything we tried was great but the highlights were easily the ambience and the service. We told the server everything we were interested in and more, and he carefully helped us ween down until we had what felt like the perfect mix of appetizers, v

Recommend everything! The loveliest way to spend a summer evening! Felt like we were all on vacation in this dreamy outdoor patio haven. The food was great: tons of fresh vegetable options, salads, grilled meats, and natural wines. Great service,

I love the ambiance, the service wasn't bad, but I really, truthfully want to see the menu items improve for the sake of the art galleries, which I love. One hand helps the other. Definitely less flowers on the plate - since they're not
Really enjoyable place to grab lunch before or after
Really enjoyable place to grab lunch before or after checking out the art galleries. I got a "Farmer's Platter" of salmon, pearl couscous, and ratatouille vegetables, and it was all delicious. The salmon was very fresh and cooked well,

I have friends who are huge fans of Le Great Outdoor, so I've been a few times. I have lots of mixed feelings. PROS - Ample free parking! - Fresh menu and nice wine list. - Vibes are breezy and jovial. - Every plate comes with flowers on it? -

This restaurant has "PARKING!" (10+ grade for Santa Monica area restaurant) The food and waiter staff was excellent! Everyone so nice and helpful. I recommend the lamb chops and wild mushrooms with garlic! It was so tasty and delicious! The

Got dinner here with a friend who was in town and it was outstanding!!!!! The service was great - Michael was the best!!! The atmosphere was lovely - great outdoor seating!!! The food was absolutely delicious!!!! Will definitely be coming back!!!
What not to love? Beautiful space, fresh and inventive
What not to love? Beautiful space, fresh and inventive dishes, nice service. An artist friend came to town, so we headed to the galleries for lunch and to peruse the exhibitions. We started with lunch and since it was a bit later in the afternoon

3 of us were hungry after we viewed the art of the station and decided to try the cafe. The waitress recommended we order couple veggies and share a protein. $120 dollars later. Burger.. best item in the menu. We divided that 1/3rd. They had skewer
A day when my hope didn't happen
I was so excited to bring my friend but was so disappointed. The salmon soup was pretty awful and I felt my order was heated up after already waiting to be done to. The wine was disappointing tool Alas, I felt sad to go when I thought it was going t
You gotta go here!
What a fantastic experience. Located in an industrial area with many art galleries. Mostly covered outdoor seating with heat lamps for the color times. The smell of the outdoor grill is the first thing you notice. The menu is meant to be shared fam
Casual outdoor restaurant
Casual spot with grilled meats. The overall vibe feels like you’re in someone’s backyard for a dinner party. Made reservations online in advance and everything is shareable. The meats don’t come with any sides so you must mix and match on your
The space is beautiful and unique, it's a nice place to sit.
The staff was friendly but inattentive, and for what you're paying, you deserve a dedicated server, not an order-at-the-counter situation. The menu is very simplistic for the price - a pile of unpeeled, grilled carrots with some sauce on top is $15.
A great addition to the area
I live in the area, but this place is always so crowded, I haven't gotten over there the first few months it was open. It was very good, and I will return. We started with glasses of wine, a goat cheese/olive oil appetizer, a beet plate and shrimp

Ordered the bbq burger and soft boiled egg tartine from the lunch menu. The food tastes fresh and healthy, and is beautiful on the plate, but it took quite some time for the food to arrive. Outdoor seating is plentiful but not all of the seats have s
great dessert and ambiance!! came here with my roommate
great dessert and ambiance!! came here with my roommate last minute for a quick dessert stop and we had a great time. the staff was also amazing with recommendations!
Great concept - mid execution.
Tables are too small to fit all of the barbecued food. Another idea is to put picnic tables out back and have people sit cafeteria style? Also is confusing to make a reservation online, yet we order our whole order at the counter (excluding dessert)
I came here for the first time for lunch and the ambiance
I came here for the first time for lunch and the ambiance is lovely - it's outside in Santa Monica which is really enjoyable in nice weather. I like that the food feels very streamlined and fresh. I had the chicken skewers which came with rice and ve

I could not tell you if the food is good anymore because they do not run the place well like they used to do. No one can take an order. Seems like a lot of confusion or at least I was confused so that doesn't work. Be careful where you sit because y

I was so looking forward to trying le great outdoors and had such high expectations because I had read so many great things about this restaurant, but sadly this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The system for seating, ordering
Really great food but not the kindest service.
I wish that I could say better things about this restaurant since I think their food is top-notch, but their service and some (not all) of the people who work there can be rude, unkind, and make it seem as if you're inconveniencing them. Maybe the st
Honestly I think this place is a bit overhyped.
It's in a parking lot which isn't a detriment but the drive up to it is a bit weird. They have a bit of a weird seating arrangement and it's really hard to get reservations which I think adds to this idea of exclusivity (but it's really not anything

Go to your auntie's backyard BBQ instead
This place is overpriced, underwhelming, and the food is devoid of any real flavor beyond that imparted from the grill itself. Save your money and go to a real friend's BBQ instead. Don't let the "cool backyard, order at the counter" vibe

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Le Great Outdoor Restaurant Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Le Great Outdoor Restaurant Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Le Great Outdoor Restaurant Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Le Great Outdoor Restaurant Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
