Citrus salad
Laura P.

This is a bar with excellent food, rather than a restaurant with a bar... if that makes a clear distinction? The salads we'd both excellent: very fresh ingredients and wonderful dressing. Chicken wings were great (extra crispy), as was the kimchi quesadilla. The star of the show was my mocktail: you could never tell it wasn't a real Campari spritz. Would definitely come back for that alone! Bar ambiance, service was slow - I think perhaps a little understaffed. Service definitely was what made it feel like a bar- while friendly and nice, definitely not checking on you like you might expect in a full sit down restaurant. Street parking pretty easily available after 6.

Tacos
Robert D.

Sorry Not Sorry is not just their name, it's their approach to customer service. I paid $75 per person for a private event, only to show up and find they had triple booked their venue and were therefore sorely understaffed. From the moment I walked in and had a cheap wristband carelessly tossed around my wrist to the TWO HOURS I waited for a drink, I could not be more disenchanted. The only bright spot was the tacos and the garlic fries were actually tasty. The cocktail, however, was not only not worth the wait, it wasn't even What I ordered. It's a shame because I really think the venue in the back could have been a really cute place to host an event if it weren't for the overpromised and underdelivered service. I wish I could say this was my first less-than-satisfied experience at SNS, but it was the third and final chance. My friends took me here for my birthday last year where we found out that the restrooms were out of service and were mislead to try the bathrooms next door--where we were promptly turned away. We eventually made our way to the Rosegold Saloon across the street in desperate search of a commode. That's where we finally got some decent service. So I really think that if you've read this review to this point, maybe just start there.

Patio

Stopped by Sorry Not Sorry and honestly didn't expect them to have such a big cocktail and liquor selection. Way more options than you'd think walking in. They've got board games, a super cute patio, and fire pits that make it really easy to hang out for a while. I went for a business event on the patio and ended up staying after just to relax outside. They even have Vietnamese coffee drinks with alcohol, which was such a fun and unexpected twist. Overall, it's a really cute little hole-in-the-wall cocktail and coffee spot with a great vibe.

Servers were so attentive to our group even with us moving around outside. The keep calm and Collins on is a refreshing take on the strawberry matcha cocktail! Food is hot and they keep it simple and tasty. Most of the metered street parking is available after 6pm and even some of the street spots are free, but just expect to street park and walk in the very safe neighborhood.

I was in the area and always been curious about the place so I popped in. The street parking is quite vicious, there is another restaurant next door and they offer valet but the street is too busy to notice it. I parked around the corner and got in the bar. As I walked in, it felt like I was visiting a strangers get together. It looked like a small speakeasy bar. The staff smiled but it was polite , not approachable. It looked like they just had a Christmas party and everyone was still in their personal fun mood. Not much chatting at the bar with me, the customer, but amongst the staff itself. I ordered a drink, the bartender made it and walked away. I noticed most of the staff were eating in the kitchen away from the main area and talking. Maybe they were still riled up from their Christmas party. One staff with glasses, sat next to me with his plate of food. No conversation, just two people next to each other. I ordered the "garlic" fries but there was barely any garlic. Not the greatest first encounter and I thought the drink, ginger all the way, was OK. Not sure if I would visit again but maybe they had an off night.

Strawberry matcha gin cocktail and fish sauce margaritas
Alice L.

The drinks are expensive but unique and very tasty. I got a strawberry matcha gin cocktail and my friends for the fish sauce margarita - both were great and we had never had anything like that before. Their menu seems to switch out frequently as both were not written on the menu itself and some of the cocktails we asked for that were in the menu were not actually available. The bartender and servers are very friendly though, so make sure to ask what they are currently serving!

Buffalo Tempura Battered Cauliflower
Emmie H.

I came in for DineLA and had such a great time. A cocktail + app, entree, and dessert for $35 + tip is an unbelievable price. The cocktail was delicious and definitely didn't skimp on the liquor. I started with the baby bok choi salad which was very bright and citrusy. The real star of the apps, however, was the kimchi quesadilla that my friend got. It was unbelievable and I would absolutely go back just for that. For my entree, I had the burger which was so delicious. The blue cheese on the burger isn't something I would normally go for but the balance was beautiful and I definitely ate it faster than I should. I finished the night with the tropical crepe cake which was so light and not too sweet. Most of the seating is outdoor in the back in the picnic-style tables, which was great for our party. Brandon, the general manager, came by to check in on us several times, which I appreciated. I will definitely be back, especially when that kimchi quesadilla makes it onto the permanent menu.

soggy fries and absolutely no detection of kimchi in the kimchi quesadilla, but otherwise great outdoor patio space with friendly servers.

Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).
