Great place to catch a California sunset and sweeping views of the coastline. Try their lobster specials... You may even spot a Hollywood star! Could be a romantic spot if it weren't for the noise and close seating arrangement.

the views are great, the food is a bit pricey but better than your typical good view = bad food joint. not an everyday choice, but certainly solid.

Great lobster and view of the ocean and pier really make this a great place to have a romantic dinner. The food is excellent all around and is just a place you have to visit if you are nearby.

Excellent, expensive but worth the tab if you want to pay for not only the great food, but the view, too. I remember this place from when I was a kid (a lot of years ago), but it is all modern now. If you want to give this place a try, be sure to have the lobster, it's really worth it!

Food is excellent, ambiance is superb--view of Santa Monica Pier and ocean couldn't be better. Everything is wonderful--lobster, seabass, salmon, prawns, crab cakes, fresh salads, and the chocolate cake. Dinner for 4 was $250 included 2 glasses of wine and 2 hard liquor drinks--a 2 pound lobster at $22 per pound and crab cake entree split in two for as an appetizer plus 3 more entrees, 2 salads, and one dessert and one coffee. Definitely a must do. A great dining experience. This is a redo of the old Lobster restaurant that opened in the early 20's. Completely remodeled--a whole new structure and valet parking underground.
