What people say, in short
Meat on Ocean's Santa Monica supporters praise its steakhouse atmosphere, with a diner describing ocean views and another enjoying the house-aged cuts. A visitor also reports a successful larger-group meal. The food consensus is not unanimous: two commenters criticize it directly in a steakhouse discussion. The views and lively feel are part of the appeal, but do not remove the disagreement over the steak dinner. Its supporters favor the setting as well as the food, rather than agreeing on one preferred cut.
