The Lobster 1602 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401

"View is good, service is good but it is super pricey. It costed me $300 there. I am not sure it is worth the $300. Check the price before go there. Also they offer free parking if you dine in there."

"It was overpriced and overhyped. The food is not good, not memorable at all. You are paying for the location being walking distance from a lot of the hotels. A tourist trap, in my opinion. The view and the ambiance are pretty good, though."

"PROS: - Excellent Service: Our server was very friendly and helpful! It was our first time here, so she explained everything in detail and what dishes were popular. - Excellent food: The appetizer (charred octopus), lobster, lobster mac and cheese, and dessert (chocolate truffle cake) were very good! The truffle cake was moist and not too sweet. - Ambiance: The restaurant was very classy, and the view was beautiful. - Wait time for food: Very reasonable! By the time I was finished with the appetizer, the main dishes came right away. NO CONS! Would I come here again? YES"

"Had a nice dinner there looking out to the ocean. Food was good but prices reflect the view/location. Service was great and we caught a beautiful sunset. Not too many kid friendly food options but mine liked the clam chowder and fried shrimp and calamari."

"Second time we try this restaurant in Los Angeles at Santa Monica. Dining here with the beautiful beach view. Recommend to come on sunset time. Keeping with the great service and great meal. Lobster is the signature dish. Ordered one set Oysters (8pcs), one clam chowder soup, one crab cake and one grilled lobster."
