Thank you for thinking of Socalo for your upcoming event. Our Santa Monica restaurant offers semi private and private dining spaces, long communal tables along the ceiling-to-floor windows in the main dining room, and two spacious outdoor patios.

We can accommodate groups of all sizes in our festive private dining rooms, the beautiful outdoor patios, or a combination of the entire restaurant and al fresco spaces. From cocktail parties on the shaded patio dotted with heat lamps and string lights to sit-down dinners in the intimate, private dining room surrounded with playful artwork, Socalo is the perfect location for any celebration.

Whether you're toasting to a graduation, birthday, rehearsal dinner, holiday party, social gathering, or work meeting we can help customize any special event. All you need is a reason to celebrate!
