We chose this place for a special occasion and were very pleased. The interior in a slightly segregated room provided a nice and very quiet space such that we in fact could engage in conversations. The staff was charming. And the food was delicious,
Wow wow wow.
Ive been a fan of Michael Mina for quite some time (the lobster pot pie in Vegas is one of my favorite dishes!!) So I was really excited to try his new restaurant in santa monica. And boy oh boy was it wonderful. My friend and I ordered a few things
We loved the service and food at Orla.
Having reserved a table for lunch we were a bit dubious at first because it looked more like we had stepped into a hotel lobby than a Michelin rated restaurant but Michael Mina does not disappoint. Once seated, we enjoyed exceptional ocean views from

Such a beautiful restaurant with an amazing view of the pier and ocean. Inside a hotel, the ambiance is inviting and perfectly dim for a romantic dinner. Service was attentive but nothing out of ordinary. The food was really good up until I had the l

This was where my husband took me for Valentine's Day & it was totally amazing I almost do not know exactly where to begin. The menu & food is a chefs kiss. The service is unmatched & top tier. We started with the grilled octopus wi

Ambiance was wonderful and the food was 10/10 Will definitely be coming back here, exceptional service as well felt welcomed and servers were always making sure we were getting taken care of
Came here for a birthday dinner and we had a great time.
Our server, Ryan, was so attentive and helpful. We ended up going with his suggestion to try the Orla experience and I'm glad we did, because there were items in the experience that I normally wouldn't have gone for and yet was pleasantly s

We had a great experience at Orla by Michael Mina in Santa Monica. Our server, Ryan, did an excellent job--attentive, professional, and friendly throughout the evening. The appetizers were outstanding and definitely the highlight of the meal. The ma
Would absolutely not come here.
Out of all Michael Mina restaurants we've gone to, the service here is by far the worst. We called to change our reservation and the hostess said we can move it to 5:30pm. I guess it never updated on their system. I called back at 3:30pm to conf

Food was spectacular! The beachside restaurant was beautiful and since it is in a hotel it feels very grand. The service was also very nice! I recommend getting seating near the beach view and making reservations! It is an expensive place so it is r

Orla is crushing it! We ordered the $105 set menu and it felt like a bargain for the quantity and quality food! It included the mezze platter (so fresh and flavorful), lamb skewers, branzino, dessert, an sooo much more! Every bite was spot on. The
Wonderful experience from start to finish.
We were lucky enough to be in town for Dine LA and found this spot. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, they walked us thru a gorgeous lobby and took us right to the front desk of the restaurant. We have a reservation at 6 and they took us to a
Food was bland.
Nice space and service. For apps, we ordered the bread service, saganaki, and hummus. All three were pretty good, but the bread was expensive for what they give you. Also pretty salty and dry. For entrees, we ordered the lamb chops, phyllo-crusted

Went here for Dine LA, and it was a great experience for the most part. My friend and I got lucky that we found metered street parking by the beach, but apparently they validate parking, which I assume is hotel parking. We got confused on how to ent

Beautiful space and views but the prix fixe brunch menu was disappointing. The mezze was good, the dessert was good. Everything else was over salted and just not up to standards especially for a Michael Mina restaurant. Staff were wonderful and atten
Good for Breakfast too
Visited for Breakfast while staying elsewhere in Santa Monica to check out the change from Lowes to The Regent. Certainly impressed by the internal decor. Service was excellent and the food was great too though be warned the portions are huge so cons
Great views, sleepy ambiance, poor food
We had high expectations, it fell flat. The menu was priced high, the value of the dishes were low. We ordered two pasta & meat dishes - they came out like SOUP. It was inedible.
Spectacular
Set in the lush Regent Hotel in Santa Monica and offering breathtaking ocean views, Michael Mina’s Orla takes you on an extraordinary culinary journey back to Chef’s Greek-Egyptian roots.. Wine Director Ryan Kraemer was our guide for the evening,
Fantastic dinner with a dazzling array of colors and flavors
Michael Mina's Orla was a fantastic experience, and we cannot wait to go again and try more of the incredible menu. From the moment we stepped into the Regent Hotel, we felt the personal service. The waiter addressed us by name, exhuberantly exp

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Orla by Michael Mina Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Orla by Michael Mina Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DazzlingStretch76, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DazzlingStretch76 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DazzlingStretch76 for any questions Peter may have as DazzlingStretch76 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DazzlingStretch76 now uses their connections at Orla by Michael Mina Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DazzlingStretch76 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DazzlingStretch76 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DazzlingStretch76's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Orla by Michael Mina Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
