Seafood
A raw bar seafood spot a short walk from the actual ocean, which feels right. Inside it's sunny, a little loud, and decorated like someone who actually likes the beach rather than someone staging it. Half the menu is oysters, clams, and lobster, and the staff will talk you through it without making you feel slow. The cooking keeps things clean and confident, letting good fish be good fish.

A block from the pier, this big, loud California-global restaurant runs on the logic that dinner is a group sport. David LeFevre's menu wanders from Spanish to Korean without losing its West Coast footing, and the portions are small enough that a table of four can cover serious ground. It fills up fast, especially with families who've figured out the system, so come with a plan and order wide.
