The Cloverfield: Your Outdoor Oasis in Santa Monica

A lovely outdoor beer garden was the perfect spot for a nice afternoon.

Nestled next to the Santa Monica airport tarmac is a great indoor and fun outdoor experience. The staff is kind and the dining areas are clean. They can even charge your phone if you ask nicely. My recommendation is the soup of the day and sharing 4 of their incredible tacos. Great bartenders work here and can hook you up with some beautifully strong drinks which are a great value. There is talk about the airport becoming a massive park and The Cloverfield could possibly become the center of this incredible new entity. Also, special room with bar is avail in the back perfect for celebrations! We can't wait to have our cast party here.

Cloverfield is one of my favorite spots to get lunch or dinner, even more so after getting a puppy as their large patio is dog friendly. Family atmosphere and great food.

A cool outdoor vibe with a consistent ocean breeze. It feels like a little oasis in LA with tons of outdoor seating. Coffee or beers, this is a great place to unwind or a quick business meeting.

I came here on mother's Day and they had live performances it was very cute. The food was good and the drinks were also pretty good. I did come on a separate day with no live music and it was actually pretty dead which I wasn't mad it was nice. We had a great time. During the night this place is great to have a few drinks and appetizers.

Always a good address to hang out at after a soccer game at the airport park field or just for a brunch with family and friends. They have a large outdoor patio (with heaters) as well as a nice and large indoor seating space. Menu wise, they do offer a good combination of dishes, although I suggest to start with their bread and dips, homemade bread and pizzas are their trademark. They do also offer a few brunch specials that worth it.

This restaurant has the coolest atmosphere with great food & service. I would say a gem of a restaurant in Santa Monica. Food is excellent. The Shrimp Pasta dish I had was amazing. It can get a little noisy indoors in main seating area, but outside & near the bar it is quieter. The brownie dessert yummy. I highly recommend. It is worth it.

Was SUPER pleasantly surprised by this place. Firstly, great big patio with plenty of tables, lots of heaters so it was nice to dine outside even though it was chilly. Super fast and friendly service. The food was excellent. I read about the short rib bucatini on yelp and it did not disappoint. Pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the sauce was to die for. We also ordered their white shrimp ceviche, ahi tuna wontons, both of which were amazingly delicious and fresh, the tuna was excellent. We will definitely be coming back to The Cloverfield!
