Since I first told you about the new eatery Terratorry that’s moving into the old Art’s Table space at 1002 Montana in Santa Monica, people have been clamoring for more information. A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Debra!) spotted a note on the front of the build-out giving us some clues. The note explains that the Midwestern chef’s “ethos revolves around our local Farmers’ Markets” with a focus on heritage cooking using the best of the West Coast, and, well, you can read the entire statement below….

What’s Going On At Art’s Table, M&D Margos Kitchen In Santa Monica?

Big changes coming to Santa Monica’s tony Montana Ave… Art’s Table, at 1002 Montana, abruptly closed recently and construction has begun on a new venture. An ABC application went up this week announcing the new eatery as Terra Torry. And Art’s sister restaurant M&D Margos Kitchen at 1534 Montana recently went dark with papered over windows. Hastily scrawled notes on the windows declare that they are “closed for remodel by owner”. Yelp is listing them as closed. I’ll keep watching to see what develops.

The Good People of Santa Monica love an outdoor cafe.  Along Montana Ave., La La Land, Sogno Toscano, Bardonna, and M&D Margos are packed virtually all day long.  Another success story is French charmer Le Cafe de la Plage, at 1301 Montana Ave.  They recently expanded their outdoor seating area, and now it appears they are also taking over the adjacent storefront at 1303 Montana, most recently home to lauded raw seafood purveyor Savida.

People have been wondering what’s going on since Margo’s Pizza Kitchen & Bar, at 1534 Montana, closed its doors.  You may recall that last year Margo’s had a break-in that caused significant damage and loss.  At that time, in an interview, a rep for Margo’s alluded to that incident being a “tipping point” that could cause the business to shutter.  Shortly thereafter, Margo’s did indeed close down, ostensibly for a remodel.  Since then, a new banner has been put up announcing a “new launch under new partnership”.  It appears the new restaurant will be named Nana Margo’s, and cocktails and “dinning” will be on order.  It will be interesting to see if the new eatery will continue with the plant-based concept.  I’ll keep my eye on this….

This post is for all those concerned readers who wrote me inquiring about their beloved Margo’s restaurant at 1534 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica.  In the last wave of COVID shutdowns, Margo’s closed like every other restaurant… but it never reopened.  For all intents and purposes it appeared that the popular eatery was throwing in the towel.  Well… you can all breathe a collective sigh of relief:  A banner hanging over the door is announcing to all that Margo’s is back.
