The Albright - Santa Monica (CA)

5 /5 Jacob Jones: Wonderful food, great atmosphere and stellar service all for a more than reasonable price. I ordered the Calamari, Shrimp and Chips and a strawberry lemonade. The Calamari was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, with great flavor. The same can be said of the Shrimp and Chips, with great flavor and well seasoned. The portions for both were an excellent value, well worth the price. The Strawberry Lemonade was very good as well. With all of that said, the service was truly exceptional. Steve greeted me with a smile when I walked in the door and answered any questions that I and other customers had, as well as ensuring customers got the most value from their experience. Steve was eager to help and go the extra mile, clearly taking pride in the work he does. Overall I had an excellent experience dining at The Albright, and will be back without a doubt the next time Im in Santa Monica.

3 /5 Yaeyoung Rigby: I got the spicy seafood soup after reading several good reviews on it. If you are expecting Korean seafood soup, this is not for you. The first bite tasted like jalapeño water. No authentic Korean soup is going to have cilantro and tomatoes in it. It was packed with seafood, which tasted really, really fresh, but the soup was not what I was expecting at all. There was no depth or savory flavor in the soup. The rice tasted like it was made out of instant rice box... Very disappointing, but I shouldve known to not expect authentic Korean taste at a non-Korean restaurant. My friends ordered fish and chips, which they said was good. Another friend ordered the lobster roll, and it was pretty underwhelming. I think you are paying for the experience though of eating right on the pier. It had a nice seating area and a great view. It was nice to go as a tourist, but I probably wouldnt go back for the food.

4 /5 Nate Hartrich: Located right in the Santa Monica pier it’s a quick and easy spot to eat. You have to get a table for yourself which can be a bit tough so understand that going in. You order at a window and pickup at another window. I had my heart set on a lobster roll and they said they were out. The food and atmosphere overall were pretty decent. For a tourist location we were slightly impressed. It’s very noisy inside so if the weather is decent sit outside. The bathrooms were semi clean. Overall we had a decent experience

2 /5 Xrstíana (iamXrstíana): Ok bottom line is we are from Boston and we wanted clam chowder. The chowder is all right, not very bad not amazing… Definitely not worth the $18 For the bread bowl. To be honest, I really like the atmosphere and the location of the restaurant. There’s not much service to speak of you kind of place your order at the counter and then walk up to get your food and sit wherever you like… But it’s nice. The reason I’m writing this review is for this ceviche. It is truly awful do not order. Very dry and tasteless, and the chips are weird, they do serve Jack and Coke in a can, which was a nice fine can’t complain there. I will say I probably won’t come back here unless I’m out with friends
