Casa Del Mar Hotel has always been my favorite hotel in Santa Monica. I had the best time last Friday night.
Before I went to Casa Del Mar, I thought I'd check out Shutters next door because I heard good things from two different sources. Well... I don't know what to say but it was the worst food I have ever eaten. I would never recommend eating there. $39 for a "Small seafood platter", which consisted of 3 Shrimp (frozen and uncleaned), 3 oysters, 3 clams and an ounce of crab. Really? Yes Really. We also ordered the fish tacos for $14 dollars which by the way had no flavor. Matter of fact you couldn't pay me $14 dollars to eat it again and last... lamb sausage. I am not sure if the person in the kitchen is a Chef but Shutters ought to be ashamed of themselves and just say you are paying for ambiance. After my horrible experience at Shutters I decided to change my fate and go to Casa Del Mar....my sure ace in a hole and satisfy my poor hunger pains.
When I arrived at Casa Del Mar I was pleasantly surprised with the best bottle of Persecco and catching The Leftover Cuties perform. You may recognise the Leftover Cuties from the show The Big C on showtime. Anyways... the singer and band = AMAZING. Her voice is unique and beautiful. The band is talented and what else can you ask for period.
I am a huge fan of live bands and people that can actually play instruments. We'll just call them "Real Artist".
I ordered chicken wings which were lightly battered and fried with a nice dipping sauce, some oysters and as mentioned before the best bottle of Persecco. I promise to provide the name .... I wrote it down somewhere :-)
Sorry for the negative review on Shutters but even after a few days my feelings are still the same.
