The fun continues into the weekend with acoustic music on Fridays and five-piece country bands on Saturday nights.

Marelle Santa Monica Sets the Tone for Coastal Dining on Ocean Avenue

01.30.26

Marelle Santa Monica is the signature restaurant at Sandbourne Santa Monica, led by Santa Monica native and respected chef Raphael Lunetta. With decades of experience and deep local roots, Lunetta brings a thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach that feels right at home along the coast.

Set on Ocean Avenue, Marelle blends fresh California flavors with an easy indoor and outdoor flow, making it a natural choice for sunset dinners, weekend brunch, and cocktails that stretch into the evening. The menu highlights seasonal produce, local seafood, and small details that reflect a strong sense of place, including honey harvested from Sandbourne’s onsite beehive and ingredients sourced from the Santa Monica farmers market.

The cocktail program adds a creative touch, balancing coastal influence with modern flair. Favorites include the Matcha Martini and the Star of the Sea, a shell-served cocktail that has quickly become a signature and a favorite at the bar.

Designed by architect Gulla Jónsdóttir, the space mirrors the surrounding coastline with warm tones, natural textures, and a seamless connection between the dining room and open-air terrace. Marelle also offers inviting indoor and outdoor spaces for private events, from celebrations to brand dinners, all set in the heart of Santa Monica.

Marelle Santa Monica is at 1740 Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica. 310.899.6122
