What Dave Elliott likes about Chez Jay:
The hidden gem of Santa Monica. After checking out other crazy pricey restaurants near Santa Monica central I stumbled on this quaint neighborhood spot. Im a single traveler. Friendly staff. Accommodating bartenders. Very reasonable prices. I came back each night I was here at least for a drink or 2 and dinner. I felt like I was truly in a neighborhood favorite ! View all feedback.

Decent democratic place, but the waiters are lazy. Probably affects the beach style.
