R+d Kitchen - Santa Monica

Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. Recommend the Cubano Sandwich and Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Our server Maddie was very nice and helpful.Parking: Park in Alley. Free.

I absolutely love the crispy chicken sandwich from here. 10/10 and I’ve had it many times, always take out. But today, they forgot the tomatoes and the spicy slaw, and just our normal lettuce and mayo and I’m super bummed because it’s just not as good without the full ingredients!Food: 4/5

Gets very busy after 5pm weekdays, and no reservations by phone. I enjoyed the sandwich-of-the-day which was the Rubenesque. I asked for the coleslaw on the side and shared it. Excellent coleslaw.Food: 5/5

Ate lunch here. The tuna burger is a must try it is the best I’ve ever eaten! Service is meh needs improvement. Lot of servers but most of them just walking around looking busy. Need to pay attention to customers.Food: 5/5

UNACCEPTABLE. Will not come back. If you’re ethnic, stay away. You may get ignored like I was the last few times I’ve ordered takeout. 20 people whizzed past me without saying a word, I was standing at the right spot. My food had been sitting on the counter for awhile; I calmly asked for a manager. She did not apologize. She said it’s busy. She can reheat my food. Reheat? Remake it was the right offer.Last time I was here. I was standing at the takeout line. A tall Caucasian man joined me, but stood to the side of me. The takeout guy starts helping the tall guy. I said firmly “excuse me I was here first” and no one thought anything of it. If you don’t mind getting looked over because you’re not a boogie Caucasian looking person, this is your spot. I never pull out the race card but this is the only conclusion I have. And it was not coincidence or an innocent mistake because I know the difference. I’ve lived in Santa Monica for over a decade and I am close to a diverse community of friends and family.I used to work here awhile back. I know the kind of respect this place deserves. But this is not how you treat customers anywhere.
