Best LA Brunch Views 👀 The Lobster at the top of the @santamonicapier entrance needs to be on your list. Yes, when you walk in it’s unassuming and next when you walk up the stairs, the views are breathtaking and it puts you in such a delightful and joyful trance. To see the ocean, mountains, the pier and the sand all at once while enjoying a meal, 100/10 ! The hardest part was deciding what to enjoy because there were so many things I wanted to taste but I had to prioritize. Lobster or Seafood Tower? The Seafood Tower won because I was craving fresh raw oysters, plump shrimp, lobster, mussels and the crab dip in the center really satisfied all of my cravings. The deviled eggs were a nice surprise to a classic. Love their Korean inspired Chicken and Waffles, that slaw was very addictive. You can’t go wrong with the steak and eggs. I had to order a side of truffle fries! We cheered our lovely meal with beautiful cocktails and it was so much fun.
