The EATER Lists the Best Ocean View Restaurants in Los Angeles

The Lobster

The views don’t get much better than at the Lobster, the staple Santa Monica hangout that serves plenty of seafood. Steps from the Santa Monica Pier, this is the place to hang out, catch the ocean breeze, and eat very, very well. Chef Govind Armstrong has built a menu of reliable seafood classics like lobster chowder, charred octopus with piquillo pepper, and both grilled and steamed lobster that befits the restaurant’s name.
