The Best Seafood in Santa Monica, by the Record
Santa Monica has sent exactly one place into the record so far: The Lobster, honored by Michelin Guide.

Rank 1. The Lobster
Seafood
The dining room hangs right over the Santa Monica Pier, close enough to the water that the views do most of the decorating. This is a proper sit-down seafood restaurant, Maine lobster at the center of the menu, crab cakes and the rest fanning out from there. Tables are close together and the pace moves, but the steamed lobster arrives in good enough shape to make the butter beside it feel optional.
