Meat On Ocean is a meat-centric, modern steakhouse in Santa Monica that offers both a sense of adventure and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Beyond the offerings of a world-class steakhouse, Meat On Ocean features an artisanal charcuterie bar, an exhibition dry-aging room and a variety of prime beef – from dry-aged domestic cuts to Japanese A-5. Integral to the operation is a highly trained crew of servers and butchers, who communicate directly with Guests about the beef, organically farmed chickens, house made sausages, choice seafood and more.

Located on the corner of Ocean and Broadway, Meat On Ocean is steps from the action - including the Santa Monica Pier, shopping and hotels.

Starting May 2024, Meat On Ocean is also your headquarters for private dining and events, with customizable spaces that are perfect for social events, corporate meetings, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, wedding receptions and ceremonies, with full audio/visual connectivity.

Service was slow, im not sure if they added extra tables for valentines day but the servers were overwhelmed. The server never even offered us all the options on the menu when other servers were doing it for other tables. Had to send my steak back 3 times as it came completely rare instead of medium rare. Food was good but would not recommend going on a busy night. Terrible customer service.

My husband took me for a birthday lunch to Meat. It was delicious and our server was amazing! We had oysters, clam chowder, tempura shrimp, and the fried chicken sandwich. Oh and the rustic apple tart was scrumptious!
