This is the best ocean view in Santa Monica

This is a cozy, upscale restaurant. Light and airy it is quiet without being stuffy. I think it has the best ocean view in Santa Monica. Overlooking the Santa Monica strand and with a view of the pier. It's really beautiful. The food is also excellent. I love to order the Kobe beef. The appetizer salads are simple and lovely. It's a great romantic spot for dinner. But at lunch time it is my favorite place to linger over a long lunch with girlfriends. The service is fantastic. It is located in the lobby of Shutters Hotel. If you valet park your car -- leave extra time to retrieve it after your meal -- it is always a wait at the valet.
