I would give this 10 stars if 10 stars were available. Excellent food, service, atmosphere, and always a pleasure to have any mail throughout the day. They have a fabulous breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Miss Monica is the greatest! Plenty of indoor and patio seating or you can take it to go. I dine here regularly because it's open to the public and I think that's a wonderful thing. Give it a chance!

Great bang for your buck! The breakfast is very reasonable. Scrambled eggs with 2 turkey patties are less than $5. There is a nice selection of pre-made items such as the scrambled eggs and sides, but they can also make breakfast for you as you wait. Diana was working when I arrived and she always has a wonderful personality and smile. For breakfast, arrive before 10am, when they switch out and prepare for lunch. The staff are friendly. You can either sit inside or outside in the patio, or take it TO GO. Nothing fancy or special, but the food is pretty good for breakfast on the go. The atmosphere is a hospital cafeteria. However it is very clean and organized. There is indoor dining areas as well as outside patio seating.

This place is amazingly warm and friendly. If you bring someone they must show their Vax card or wait in the lobby

The best hospital cafeteria in LA!!! All of the staff here are so friendly and welcoming, the food is tasty and has lots of variety, and the prices are CHEAP! I would come here for food even if I didn't need to come to the hospital.

The culinary experience was exceptional. However, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide the specific hours for senior dining, particularly the start time for dinner, which is currently listed as 3:30 p.m.

Wonderful experience with my wife's surgery. Literally everyone there was friendly, professional and helpful. From the valets to the docs. Frequent updates by phone eliminated the need for me to sit in the waiting room. Wife home the same day, but also thrilled with the kindness, understanding and professionalism. Thank you!

This was a trip of it's self. As a cafeteria in a hospital the food was good. Better than places on Wilshire across the street. It was a real pleasant surprise. Over a week breakfast meals were good and lunch with a pizza not bad. Dinner was really good.The price very reasonable.

The food is really descent here from the pastas to salmon, the salads to soups and pastries unlike other hospitals. Not to brag but overall UCLA is a class on its own and the staff from the medical professionals to the cafeteria staff members are great.

The food is ok for cafeteria food. The rotessiere chicken was pretty good and the beans were good. The rice was not very good.

Could be better, but could always be worse. Decent pricing for Santa Monica

People here can be really super rude! I saw one of the cashiers yell across the dining area at a senior sweet little old lady who was on a strict budget who came here to get the salad bar for half price because she had spilled some of the salad dressing. How rude!! Any chance they could ever sweep up the floor or wipe up the tables absolutely terrible! Grooss...☹️
