Husbands birthday next week, scored a babysitter so I'm taking him out for dinner.

Any recommendations? Loves his meat other than that's not fussy. Not a massive budget ($100-150 all in). We live in Santa Monica/west LA border so don't want to spend a fortune on a cab

Where's your favourite go to place on the Westside?

the best steak in my opinion is at BOA in Santa Monica. It's expensive though. With a bottle of wine it will probably go over your $150 budget.

obviously there are a ton of options, what kind of cuisine are you interested in? there's a great little tapas place on main st and a nearby italian place (la vecchia) in santa monica that my wife and i always enjoyed when we lived in that area. closer to where you live, there's a shabu shabu restaurant on sawtelle (mizu 212) then we frequented fairly often. $100 should be enough at any of these places as long as you don't drink too much.

so many options to go from. most of the major steakhouses in the area (pacific dining car, boa) will be past budget, especially if alcohol is involved.

Two reasonable places in santa monica with great steak (their steaks are more like $25-30) are Ushuaia on Wilshire, a new Argentinian steak house, and then the Galley on Main St, which is one of Santa Monica's oldest restaurants and has everything a meat eater can desire.

I just saw Ushuaia actually and thought it looked good so think we'll go with that - thanks all!

It's a great choice and people on yelp love it. in my opinion it is santa monica's best new restaurant, and the prices are more than reasonable.
