R+D Kitchen - Santa Monica (CA)

4 /5 Mason Ganz: R+D kitchen has a warm, cozy, neighborhood feel to it which we love. The food is delicious and the drinks are great. We enjoy the crispy chicken sandwich and the Asian chicken noodle salad. The only thing Id say could be improved is the service. The staff can be a little cold which takes away from the neighborhood feel. Upon our recent visit, my brother ordered the rotisserie chicken and it came out cold. When we informed a staff member, they did not apologize or seem to care and said theyd "warm it up" in a sassy voice, which left us with a sour taste. Overall R+D is a solid spot!

4 /5 Russo Gasimov: R+D Kitchen on Montana Ave is always a solid choice. The space is stylish, upbeat, and perfect for a casual yet classy dinner. I loved their Cheeseburgers and the fresh salads. Service was friendly and attentive without being pushy. Prices are a little high for the portions, and waits can be long at peak hours, but the overall quality and vibe make it worth it.

5 /5 Local Love: My wife were in Santa Monica visiting our son and he suggested that we check this place out. Well we did and the food was fantastic as well as the service. We were in town for 7 days and we actually came here twice! The first time was for launch which we enjoyed a nice salad with a small appetizer and a cocktail. The second time we came in for dinner and had an amazing hamburger that was thick and prepared exactly how I like it (medium) . This is definitely one of our favorites now on Montana Ave. we will definitely be back we come come out and visit next.

5 /5 Mark Engel: What a great vibe with great tasting food and excellent service. We waited 30 min for a table on a Saturday night which was no problem as there is so much great window shopping on the street and they texted us when our table was ready. The drinks selection is vast they have these daily specials which all look good and would have me coming different days of the week to taste them all. We wanted the Picnic Sandwich which was albacore tuna but had already sold out. We settled on salad which was perfectly dressed with a variety of textures and a burger which was delicious. Will return next time we are in Santa Monica. Prices were good and in line with the quality and experience.

4 /5 Brian Palmer: Great meal at R&D. Definitely will come again. Thought the shrimp appetizer were okay. Definitely not worth price level in my opinion. The real star of the meal was the ribs. Incredible meal!! The crispy chicken sandwich was also good but the ribs are a must!! Can’t wait to try other items in the menu. Staff were very friendly and attentive!
