Ashland Hill - Bar & grill in Santa Monica - 2807 Main St, USA

Just had a couple drinks here with friends. Cool place, the back patio is a lot larger than it appears from the front. I just had a couple beers the server did bring me the wrong one the second time but it wasn’t bad so I didn’t send it back. Nothing spectacular but cool spot for a couple drinks with friends.

Dog friendly! We sat out front in the protected patio area. This is not a full service restaurant. You must order and pay for your food at the front window. They will give you a number and you need to find a table. My Cobb salad was delicious! I loved the Crunch of the garbanzo beans. I wou definitely order this salad again. It was very filling. My friend ordered the tuna tacos and she said if one likes spicy, then this might be good. She can't handle spicy foods well, but she was hungry so she ate all three tacos and her mouth was in fire. This place is casual and has a nice vibe for people watching . The restaurant has a full bar and specialty cocktails as well as beer and cider.

Great food albeit pricey. Fries were crisped to perfection. Decent atmosphere. Dog friendly on the sidewalk tables.

Great happy hour in terms of pricing + service. I usually don’t tip on pickup orders, but the team here is so friendly and the food is amazing that I make an exception! Great restaurant, great people highly recommend

Had a cool vibe and everyone was friendly and food came out quick. Had Chicken and Waffles which was different than what I was used to but it was delicious and very satisfying. It is a neat place with casual atmosphere and was not too loud which I appreciated. Will be back next time I am in the area for sure.

Honestly, a terrible experience. The Cesar salad could have been a a boxed one, and I wouldn’t have noticed the difference. The salmon was okay but pretty bland with steamed veggies and rice on the side. But the worst part was definitely the experience. My friend asked for the music to be changed to something else because it was incredibly loud and distracting. Then the lady who works there comes over, clearly agitated and trying to start conflict and create a problem. Listen, if you don’t want to change the music, that’s fine. Just say No. But pretending that you’re trying to be helpful, when really you’re just agitated, is not professional. We won’t be back, because the food wasn’t good and the service was just awful.

Fantastic food and staff. Seated in the outdoor patio which was lovely. Ordered the giant meatball for starters, cooked well and loved the tomato sauce. We had the fish tacos and Ashland hill burger for entree. Both were cooked well and tasted fantastic , the only bad thing was the burger bun went a bit soggy from the sauce and the tortillas were a bit small for the amount of fish in them. Waitress was fantastic and even gave us happy hour drink price.

Plenty of outdoor seating. We just had drinks, but the menu looks pretty promising. Plenty of drink options and local draught beers as well. Quick service, just order at the window and pop a squat out front or choose from about 10 tables in the rear with more shade. Edit: food is wonderful, the $5 shawarma and $5 burger during happy hour is perfect. Happy hour is 3-6p, M-F.
