- MmaddiePhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined on May 16, 2026We had such an amazing experience here! The food, drinks, and atmosphere were incredible from start to finish. The panoramic sunset views were absolutely beautiful, even the elevator ride up to the top floor felt like part of the experience. Beyond the amazing views and food, our waiter Michael truly made the night special. From the moment he sat us down, he was so kind, attentive, and welcoming. He even let me sample a wine I was deciding between, checked on our table throughout the night, and surprised us with the most delicious dessert to celebrate. We ordered the truffle cacio e pepe, wedge salad, and epi baguette, and everything was absolutely delicious. We made a last-minute reservation for dinner and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. We will definitely be back again soon and will request to be in Michael's section!!More infoThe Penthouse Restaurant$$$$• Contemporary American• Santa Monica•4.6
