Chez Jay Restaurant

About this business

Sometimes cheesy, probably crowded, and always eclectic, Chez Jay has been around longer than most start ups in Santa Monica can dream. This ruff and gruff bar has a crowd of energetic and devoted regulars. With a juke box and a floor covered in saw dust and peanut shells, Chez Jay Restaurant can hardly be said to offer gourmet cuisine, but you can find a decent meal and good hang out.

Chez Jay is where the real old time Industry crowd is. There is a lot of history here. Not many of the young people who come get it.

Santa Monica Old School The absolute best old school Hollywood hang out. The food is out of sight, prices reasonable and service friendly. Sure it looks like a dump from the outside...OK from the inside too but hey its been there for over 45 years and paint costs a lot nowadays. My personal favorite is the calamari steak. It just melts in your mouth. San-dabs? yes they make the best. I love the house potatoes with their secret ingredient! Save room for the "orgasmic" cheesecake made daily.

The food was OK, the prices a bit high but the service was awful. The waiter never came back to our table after serving the food, delivered our food and never took the salad plates and all of our waters were empty when we left having never been filled. But I guess that is why the add an automatic tip of 20% for a party of five... so they don't have to provide good service. We all agreed we would not go back.
