Stunning views and delicious food!! Loved the lobster roll, super fresh and tasty. The crab fried rice was incredible too, great side dish.

If youre looking to spend some $$$ for some good food & views — this is the place. I highly suggest the Lychee Martini (i had 4 of them) as well as the Seafood Pasta. Dive into the Spiny Lobster if youre looking to get #fancy

The Lobster is the perfect setting for game night because their lobster is very fresh and they have delicious food!!  The view is spectacular of the Santa Monica Beach and the pier.  You can sit at the bar to watch your game or sit at the table for the view.  I love coming out here, it's my go to for grilled lobster!!  CJ is a great server!!

Now that's what you call dinner with a view! Enjoyed my dinner here watching the sunset from my table, eating yummy seafood. I got the lobster roll (kinda mandatory at a place called the lobster 😆) and the shrimp/octopus ceviche; both were very good. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff and service were wonderful. PRO-TIP: come right before sunset so you get the best of both worlds.
