225 Santa Monica Blvd. (in the Promenade)

The morning after my soon-to-be-sister-in-law's bridal shower, my older brother suggested we meet up at the Misfit for Sunday Brunch. I don't make it up to Santa Monica often, but the Promenade is hands-down one of my favorite areas to visit. Nestled unassumingly on a corner, this place had wow-factor literally from start to finish.

Prefer to enjoy the fabulous weather, people-watching and shopping on the Promenade rather than wait in a restaurant lobby for a seat? This genius restaurant will text you when your table is ready. Need a few more minutes? Not a problem; just reply:

Why don't more restaurants do this? BRILLIANT.

The menu is positively saliva-inducing. Make sure you click on this picture for a larger view.

We were seated in perfect alignment with the bar, which was liter(arily) adorable. My sister, an avid reader, was in love:

Check out some serious food porn after the jump.
