🇺🇸 Amazing Seafood Restaurant in Santa Monica, California

Lobster & Beer 🦞🍺 Found this place randomly near the beach hotel — right across from the popular Penthouse restaurant. The decor is simple and the space is cozy, but the food was surprisingly delicious and very affordable! We ended up going two days in a row 😆 The owner is super friendly and looks so familiar… like someone from a TV show or movie? 🤔 Must-try dishes: 🦐 Jumbo Grilled Shrimp Cocktail 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Available in 6 or 12 pieces — we went for 12! The owner kindly gave us 2 extra on our second visit 😊 The shrimp were flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly grilled. Came with a side that looked like cilantro but had a slightly bitter taste — really helped balance the richness. 🍝 Lobster Pasta 🦞 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Succulent lobster meat + generous portion + cheesy macaroni = absolutely incredible! 🌮 Beef Tacos 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Really tasty! 🌮 Chicken Tacos 🌟🌟🌟 Just okay — not my top recommendation. Sadly, they don’t serve oysters 😐 but the dishes above were more than enough for two people! Very filling and satisfying. 🗺️ 3456 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034, United States 🕚 Mon-Sun: 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM 💵 Around $35 per person #SantaMonicaBeachEats #CaliforniaTravel #USAFood #HiddenGemRestaurant
