Brick Mortar - Santa Monica

Frankie, the manager, attended to our needs, and our server, Haley (a petite brunette), was incredibly friendly, attentive, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely return for Haley and Frankie! Although our experience wasn't flawless, any issues we encountered were addressed right away!

My mouth is still watered, that's the best pizza I've ever had. prosciutto for the victor! service was also the best I ever had, thanks to so much sweet brunette girl with glasses!

I had a fun night at Bricks Mortar! It was WAYY TOO LOUD inside, however. Very small space, and the bar wasn’t separate from the dining area at all and people were treating the place as if it were a bar. The food was pretty good overall, but needed a bit more salt. I loved the Mac n cheese! We also ordered the chicken and waffles, and the bbq chicken pizza. I thought both of them were delicious, although my partner felt that the dishes both could’ve used some more salt and seasoning to them. I liked the bbq chicken pizza here much better than dedicated pizza places, like CPK, though! The service was a bit slow, but that’s understandable with how crowded it was, and waitress was super sweet and friendly! Also, there were only single bathrooms for men and women, and huge lines for each. Definitely feel like they could do with larger bathroom facilities, considering how many people appear to come here to drink on the weekends. There were also way too many TV’s throughout the whole dining area, each seeming to be on a different channel. Was a bit too much for my taste and distracted from the dim, gastropub-like ambiance the place had. Had a good time and a yummy meal, but it was too loud and the food could have used some improvement. Solid meal overall though!

Can I just say I love having my salad with my dessert on Valentine's Day. From the moment you walk in for dinner on a Thursday night you're greeted with loud music enough for you to yell to the person next to you. Only order a drink off the menu otherwise the bartender is asking you what some basic mixed drinks include. Let's not forget items on the menu aren't actually available so prepare for disappointment cause you're probably still looking at the old menu. The salad you asked for before dinner is gonna go great with your churros. The icing on the cake is the waitress is going to over charge you so review your receipt careful. Once you've cleaned that mess up and the 2 free glasses of champagne are downed just run for the door.... Or take my advice and avoid this place.

We had an amazing time at this restaurant! We enjoyed a few drinks along with some snacks, and we chose the hugging and wagging dish—it did not disappoint! I would definitely recommend this place! (The photos were taken with Google Night Vision and an iPhone; both options are worth it!)
