Secret Santa Monica Loft, Just off Lincoln
for the easy booking, communication and flexibility. Really an absolutely delight from location to people. My only advice -- get some internet service but the reception on your phone still works...

Santa Monica's most gorgeous room with a Secret Garden vibe
was responsive, the space was beautiful for my birthday luncheon. However, I do not think that the restaurant itself was adequately staffed for my party of 50 people for Sunday lunch. The wait staff had to go back and forth between our private dining room to the main restaurant, so...
