The Cloverfield

“We just had our wedding there on Saturday! Along with a rehearsal on Friday. The entire management team and staff are incredible and made our day so special. It was truly the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without all of their help, attention to detail and willingness to make things perfect for us. The food was great, and all of our guests complimented the food. The drinks were strong yet delicious and our guests loved them. And the entire staff was so kind and helpful to everyone there. They took such amazing care of us. The restaurant is in such a great location with beautiful views, amazing parking, and thankfully not in a residential area so we could blast the music for our dancing portion. Which was so fun! I would 100% recommend this place to just eat and drink any time of day. And I would absolutely recommend them for any event! So appreciative of the entire Cloverfield team for making our wedding the best day of our lives. ❤️”

“1st time here during social hour. The menu was limited. I was hesitant but it was very delicious. Good quality!! I'll be back! Nice staff.”

“High quality food in a cool location. Love the menu and the quality ingredients and definitely want to come back. Interestingly the pizza was fine but the hummus and the chicken sandwich really stole the show for us. The hummus had an amazing pita bread accompaniment that we will get everything. The fried chicken sandwich competes with some of the best we've had in LA.”

“Took mom for women’s day celebration, was busy with lots of family and kids. The hot chocolate is not too sweet which is really soothing. Order the house made soup, Chicken potpie and salmon burger. I really enjoyed the salmon burger, and the house made soup. Overall it’s a good weekend hang out location. The bartender is very sweet and welcoming.”

“Great spot, one very off waiter — but giving it another shot. Been wanting to try The Cloverfield for a while. Cute location in Santa Monica with a nice outdoor setup — we sat by the street since it was a busy weekend, but the garden area looks like the better spot. Got seated right away, no issues there. The problem was our waiter — barely spoke a word the entire time, hard to get his attention, and when we did it felt like we were bothering him. At one point we asked for more maple syrup and he pointed to our plate and walked away (but there was more from taking our order to asking him a question on the coffee). Just a really strange, cold vibe for no apparent reason — we hadn’t done anything. The manager did come over at the end, heard us out, and took the time to acknowledge the situation — appreciated that. Food was nice and well served. I don’t want one bad experience to define the place, so I’d genuinely give it another shot. Just hoping for a different waiter next time!”
