Forma Restaurant & Cheese Bar Santa Monica

"My home away from home.. away from home. Induces those olfactory senses to remind your brain of memories you never knew you forgot. In short, it is a lovely experience. In addition, the Happy Hour is exceptional. Hand-picked wines that would make your fear of Montrachet.. melt away. Get a house white or red during happy hour and tell ‘em Karen sent you (ha ha - just kidding! That might get you kicked out! ;) Since it is a wine and beer bar only, your children (used to be) allowed to indulge in the happy hour menu - (NOT DRINKS, so don’t freak out for nothing) like fries and extra ketchup!"

"Thought the food was pretty good. Service was a little confused and it took like an hour for each course, which is not bad, just unexpected. Liked my lasagna and chopped salad. The tiramisu was awesome. Nice little spot on Montana."

"Very welcoming atmosphere and service. They have nearly 100 types of cheeses to try. The portion sizes for the entry were a bit small for the cost. I would still visit again and try more of their cheeses."

"We are not fancy people. But this place was the perfect “neighborhood fancy” that felt special yet still comfortable, and we just adored it. I took my partner here to celebrate his birthday. Everyone was so lovely, and the food was incredible. Our favorite dish was a simple cheese pizza. I think, in total, we only spent around $100. When friends and family visit, we have a short list of local places we recommend. Forma is at the top of that list."

"5+ for everything! Amazing food and staff! It’s super cute and everything is just amazing! Started off with some really good cheeses! The selections are great and the staff is all super helpful. Got the bordeux wine and omg sooooo delicious! For dinner we got the truffle fettuccine and risotto which were perfectly made. I don’t think you can go wrong with any dish here."
