Group Dining

For the discerning gourmet, Santa Monica’s array of culinary options is a veritable delight. Santa Monica is touted nationally and internationally as a city that offers top-notch cuisine. Master chefs such as Wolfgang Puck, Josiah Citrin, Josie LeBalch, and Allyson Thurber, to name a few, have made their names in this city—noted as the birthplace of culinary movements such as California cuisine.

Santa Monica offers a host of ways to satiate your clients’ dining experience. Let us help you design your most memorable dining experience.
You can:

• Create a plan for clients to sample a new restaurant for each meal


• Host a special dinner in the kitchen with the chef


• Participate in Progressive Dinners, allowing clients to experience several restaurants during one meal

We can also give you advice on putting together such memorable outings as Dine-Arounds and Culinary Tours, and can help you find the perfect venue for your event.

With more than 400 restaurants in the city, Santa Monica has long been famous as the birthplace of new directions in the presentation and preparation of the world's most delicious food. And many of the city's chefs have achieved movie-star status. Wolfgang Puck and Barbara Lazaroff founded and continue to operate Chinois on Main, Michael McCarty co-founded and still provides California Cuisine at Michael's, internationally famous Swiss chef Hans Röckenwagner presides over Röckenwagner, and Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger keep pushing the envelope of Mexican and South American food at the exuberant Border Grill.
