The Lobster is a legacy seafood restaurant perched at the top of the Santa Monica Pier, established in 1923 and serving fine dining for over a century. The menu comes from acclaimed Celebrity Chef Govind Armstrong, whose passion for fresh, locally sourced ingredients drives the award-winning lobster and seasonally inspired seafood dishes. The restaurant earned the prestigious Michelin Plate Restaurant Award in both 2019 and 2025. Guests rave about the lobster roll, crab fried rice, spiny lobster, and lychee martinis, all enjoyed against sweeping 180-degree coastal views. The space suits intimate date nights, solo outings, and larger group celebrations alike.
The Lobster is located at 1602 Ocean Ave, at the top of the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401.
