LA | Orla | Swipe Left for Breathtaking Ocean Views 🌊✨

When a friend suggested a last-minute seaside meal, I decided to try something new—a Greek restaurant in Santa Monica with an ocean view! We called ahead to request a seaside table and were seated right in the center, overlooking the sparkling Pacific. Absolutely magical at sunset. 🌅❤️ The food pleasantly surprised us—the fried shrimp had a hint of Cantonese-style crispiness, and the whole grilled sea bass was a must-order, flaky and fragrant. 🍤🐟 The lamb chops were cooked to tender perfection, and you could tell the kitchen approaches each dish with confidence. A standout was the Greek wine we tried—under $50, with a unique herbal, almost botanical aroma that felt both rare and refreshing. 🍷🌿 Between the view, the flavors, and the laid-back coastal vibe, Orla is a spot I’ll happily return to. Perfect for a relaxed date or a cheerful meal with friends. 💙🏝️ #Foodie #LifeAbroad #LAEats #GreekFood #OceanViewDining #SantaMonica #HiddenGems #DateNightSpot #WineLover #CoastalVibes
