  Overall, disappointing experience. Really wanted to enjoy the vegan Sicilian style pizza. It took 35 minutes to come to the table, the crust was very doughy, like it was undercooked or did not rise. The cheese was not melted either. Service was very slow, we got our Caesar salad after our entrees. Not worth the prices. The patio is cool here, nice environment

  Food is amazing. All plant based and really nicely made. Drinks are really fresh and tasty. I recommend the skinny margarita. Over all; service could be better. At arrival we almost felt that we were disturbing the staff. Not clear how it works with drinks and food. Some of the drinks were served to the table, the rest of the order you have to pick up yourself in the bar. Tips is to use trays if you serve one, you can serve three. Specially if they are on the same order and the same kind. You will not be offered water to the table which for me is strange in the the warm weather and very spicy food. With better service I would have given a five star rate. (Pictures a bit red because they use red umbrellas at the outdoor patio)

  We went to Margo’s for a dinner after seeing the great reviews on HappyCow. We ordered a starter which was really good, perhaps the best part of the meal. The customer service was outstanding in general too. Friendly, quick, and helpful. On the other hand, my pizza was just so so, and my partner’s pasta was bland. If we went back to this place we would probably order something else. Positive experience overall even though the food was just average.

  Most unique, creative vegan food in town. You’ll be blown away by the options and how you don’t even know it’s vegan. Xavier and the rest of the staff are the friendliest kindest in L.A. If you want a gourmet quality meal at a reasonable price and be made to feel like you’re a local regular, this is the place!

  We decided to stop and rest of feet after walking up and down Montana Ave during their sidewalk sale. It was a warm summer humid day in Santa Monica. Margo's was a perfect oasis. At first I wanted to sit inside, thinking they would have air conditioning. I was wrong. It was a sauna inside. There is a small bar right in front if you want to sit for a cocktail, but we chose to order, pay and find a table outside around the corner where we could get an ocean breeze. This is not a full service restaurant as it once was pre pandemic. Service was a bit slow, because they were under staffed and this is why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. I had to walk into the restaurant and ask for glasses for water. Outside there is a self service station with chilled water, but no glasses/ cups. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a baby kale salad to share. The food arrived and it smelled so good, but we had to ask for extra plates. I wanted to have a plate for my pizza and salad because we were sharing both items. I also had to ask the staff for refills on my ice tea. The mushroom pizza was delicious! We love mushrooms, so it was heavenly! The baby kale salad was so tasty with the crunchy toasty faro. I will definitely recommend both items again. Metered parking only. Read the parking signs carefully. UPDATE! May 2023!!! Full Service restaurant this time. Yay! We shared a Mushroom Pizza and Brussel Sprouts. The Happy Hour Menu has a limited array of food a drink so we only ordered the margaritas from the happy hour menu. I love their Mushroom pizza so I stuck to what I liked. We shared the Brussel Sprouts and I really liked the olive oil with the pistachios!
