About:Open 20 hours 7 days a week, Wine Spectator Magazine named Pacific Dining Car the #1 steakhouse on the west coast. The Downtown News rated Pacific Dining Car "Best Power Breakfast" in Los Angeles. Open since 1921, Pacific Dining Car was also awarded the "Treasure of Los Angeles" by the Central City Association of Los Angeles and Mayor James Hahn. Between our award wining Breakfast, wine list, corn ed, dry aged USDA Prime beef, and fresh seafood, the Pacific Dining Car is considered one of the finest dining experiences in Los Angeles. Our seafood and beef is all cooked over Mesquite coals, not gas. At our downtown Los Angeles location we also offer a free private shuttle to Staples Center, Music Center and Disney Concert Hall.

    awesome upscale restuarant on wilshire in the S, love the atmosphere and the food quality, great for a date, meals are large and artistic, everything is very expensive, breakfast/brunch is the best value. they do breakfast better than the ritz carlton at an affordable price (compared to their lunch/dinner prices)

    Recommended: Filet was excellent.

    Yahoo! local listing says its open until 2am, but a sign outside said 24 hours and our server confirmed they had just started serving a full menu all night recently.

    Not exactly your standard 3am, last stop fare, but its good to know that you can get a quality meal around the clock in Santa Monica.

    Recommend the grilled artichoke starter and the sauteed green beans alongside a steak. Generally not a big chocolate souffle fan, but it was well prepared.

    Overall: good service, old-school steakhouse ambiance and quality food if a bit pricey.

    Good, but don't go on your own dime: Very elegant and cozy too, like an old great uncle's living room. Decent food, very pricey. Caveat: I don't eat meat, and that's pretty much the main attraction. So steak eaters will probably enjoy the food much more.
