What are some upscale beachfront resturants in Santa Monica CA?

Question

I want to take my Girlfreind to a beachfront resturant in Santa Monica i want to know what are some that are elegant for a romantic Night Out. Thank you.

Answer 1

Try "One Pico" at the Shutters hotel (at Pico where it meets the beach.)

You can also try The Lobster at the Santa Monica pier (the shore end).  Not the most romantic restaurant, unless you love lobster, but will probably impress your Girlfriend.

Answer 2

Experience Ocean & Vine - the chic restaurant and lounge at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. Treat your senses to a uniquely local experience, where the warmth of the coast meets the cool sophistication and style of a fine dining restaurant.

THE HUNTLEY hotel debuts THE PENTHOUSE, a breathtaking restaurant and ultra lounge, with beach cabanas, open skies, silver bars, and open flames. This is on the top floor.  Famed designer Thomas Schoos (best known for his work on restaurants such as Koi and TAO New York/Las Vegas) has teamed up with executive chef Seth Greenburg, to manifest a new visual celebration of the senses. The Penthouse features a contemporary American Menu with bold global influences
