Reviews for Summer House Santa Monica in Chicago, IL
The place looks stunning and that’s the only positive it has going for it. You’re quickly greeted when entering and seated... promptly after (if space is available). Our waiter was courteous and prompt to put in drink orders. The menu has a mix ofpastas, salads, and American style food (burgers etc). They recently added a spinach dip that was bland and overpriced. Themanager came to ask us about the dip and looked disappointed when we told him it was average (apparently it’s the best diphe’s had). The rest of our food followed suit and was bland and far over priced for the quality. Aside from the vibe, thereis nothing special about this place. You’re better off going somewhere else! Read more
Such a cute brunch spot! The lighting in the center of the restaurant is beautiful and makes for a great girl's day out spot.... The food was good and came out pretty quickly even though they were busy which was really nice. I got the breakfast burritowhich was good, a little egg heavy compared to the other things in the burrito but still good and paired well with the salsas.Would definitely recommend! Read more

Great lunch spot! You walk in and immediately smell truffle because of the piles of truffle fries everyone gets (highly... recommend). Truly everything is delicious. The English muffins on the sandwiches were kind of weird, but other than that nocomplaints. Tuna tartar and shaved Brussels sprout salad were fab. Read more
This place is always crowded so a reservation is a must. But a very popular place for lunch, brunch, or dinner because the vibe... is amazing — they really play on the California vibe well with the light, bright, and coastal vibe. With an amazing foodselection you cannot go wrong with anything you choose from the menu. The service was excellent and the bakery up front was justdivine! Excited to go back! Read more
Spent a very fun evening at Summer House and had a great time! The food was delicious and the service was great. I do think the... prices were pretty high, and I'm not sure how soon I'll go back just for that reason. I really recommend the crispy Brusselsprouts and the burrata, and I loved their pasta. The chocolate cake dessert was phenomenal too. Very large space but it wasfull on a weekend so make sure to get a reservation! Read more
A friend took me to lunch to celebrate my birthday. We both had the roasted pumpkin soup, which was rich and tasty but served... almost room temperature. Also both ordered the Cobb salads, and they were large and loaded with fresh ingredients. Thisrestaurant is known for its fresh baked monster cookies. There's usually a variety to choose from, and you can order them to goif you want. I'm picky when it comes to cookies, and I didn't care for the complimentary birthday one... too sweet and toochewy. The service was efficient, but we had at least four different servers in the 90 minutes we were there. It was packed forlunch, so probably best to make a reservation. Read more
If you've been to Michael's in Santa Monica, you'll recognize the vibe of Summer House. The service is excellent, attentive but... not overly. The food was mostly great. My sandwich came in toast, that was very well done (the edges were burnt). Everythingelse was great, from the guacamole to the coconut cream pie, the flavors were fresh and delicious! Can't wait to go back. Read more
