Visited here with my cousin, and I really wanted to eat seafood on the pier. We came here after a quick Google search and we loved it! We split a crawfish boil (cousin can confirm it was decent) and got fruity cocktails that were potent! Atmosphere was gorgeous and we had people checking on us to see if we need anything. I highly recommend this and want to come back

Panoramic location few steps away from the entrance to the Pier. Small outdoor tables, but with excellent views and a characteristic internal room. Wide choice on the menu, friendly staff, but no table service.

Margarita and a Steak & Cheese. Absolutely amazing on both accounts. Atmosphere is great. We sat outside overlooking the pier and ocean. Very reasonably priced for being on the pier itself.

Came here for the first time while visiting Santa Monica on a Thursday evening. Was a refreshing experience to order at the cashier before sitting down. We ordered the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious and just the perfect size. The seafood was well made and tasted fresh. They even had a live DJ which really added to the ambience. The service was very friendly and we would definitely come back. Highly recommend this restaurant for a bite to eat.

I had the BEST experience at Rusty’s. The food, the atmosphere, the energy was just off the chain! This was mine and my husband’s first time in Cali and we stayed downtown LA and decided to take the metro to Santa Monica. We decided to eat at Rusty’s and we’re sooo glad we did. The food was amazing, the staff, especially the bartender was great, and we met people that felt like we knew them forever. We could have shut the place down it was that good! This will definitely be a stop the next time we come back to Cali. Thank you for making this the best trip!

Came in for some drinks and I just have to say Dominic and Adrian were the best bartenders! Such friendly and positive attitudes we ended up staying there so much longer than expected. Great drinks and a patio in the front if you like people watching and a patio in the back to catch the sunshine! Loved it! Thanks guys!

One of the best places to sit and people watch- it took forever to be served but overall everyone was friendly. Sad that my beer was flat though!

Had a great lunch at Rusty’s! Patio seating was dog friendly. The onion rings looked like they were beer battered by hand and super yummy. I had the cheeseburger and hubby had the calamari. Great spot to have a cocktail, lunch and watch the ocean on the pier. We parked at the paid lot and it was pretty convenient and got to walk around after lunch.
