In the spirit of Valentine's Day we invited a few of our team members to share their thoughts on some of Santa Monica's most romantic restaurants:


Leah Jones, Training Manager
I love Capo Restaurant. It's an off the beaten path, quaint little Italian spot with a delicious twist! (Our Director of Sales and Marketing, Megan Kelly, would like to add that Capo is known for the most amazing chocolate soufflé in the city! Yum!)

Claudio Henrique, Front Desk Manager
When it comes to spending the evening with my loved one I prefer a more casual, cozy setting over a traditional fine dining experience. Santa Monica's Fritto Misto serves up hearty portions of my favorite classic Italian dishes with a smile. The service is nice and the atmosphere is lively.

Anne Carmack, Director of Environmental Practices
I'm a typical Midwestern girl and there is nothing I like more than going out for a good burger and fries with my boyfriend. The Counter offers us the opportunity to creatively custom build our own delicious combinations using humanely raised, hormone and antibiotic free beef. They also have an extensive allergen information page available online which helps me to ensure that I can remain gluten and dairy free!

But don’t you worry your eco-minded head, because we have a list of ten vegan football-food recipes that will have you doing your own touchdown dance."

Go, Team!
