The Lobster
The Lobster is one of very few Santa Monica restaurants that’s been around for almost a century, and for good reason! The ideal location on Ocean Avenue means this restaurant that sits high atop a hill has beautiful panoramic views of the famous Santa Monica Pier and beach. These features make it perfect for any event from a rehearsal dinner to a large work luncheon.
Choose from Maine or California spiny lobster specialties, or from the host of other meals made from locally sourced produce and fresh seasonal ingredients. The menu at this Santa Monica restaurant has been thoughtfully created by celebrity Chef Govind Armstrong.
The Lobster Santa Monica serves lunch, dinner, dessert and a wonderful happy hour that can include a free unforgettable sunset if your timing is right! For a memorable dining experience with classic California ambiance, this Santa Monica restaurant is a must-try.
