"Located on the Santa Monica Pier, this seafood specialist offers fresh-from-the-sea catches that can't be beat as well as a prime location for sunset-watching. Try anything from the lobster to the crab Louis or white sea bass - you won't leave disappointe..."

"This long-standing seafood restaurant – first opened in 1925 and now reborn in an impressive new structure – specializes in fresh-from-the-sea catches and affords a prime location for observing the pier and marveling at the sunset. Try anything offered, f..."

"Because of the closeness of the Santa Monica Pier and the name i thought that the restaurant was an other tourist trap that offers massive portions of mediocre food at a very high price. After a friend of mine took me there few years ago, I have become on..."

"Anchoring the beach end of the festive Santa Monica Pier, the Lobster usually teems with locals and tourists alike, who come here for the hip scene, the great view, and the comfort seafood of chef Allyson Thurber. Start with lobster cocktail with tarragon..."

"There's been a seafood shack called The Lobster on the Santa Monica Pier since 1923 -- almost as long as the pier's been standing -- but 2000's revival brings a new sophistication to this perpetually crowded and lively local favorite. The interior is comp..."

"It took many years, but The Lobster has crawled back onto the L. dining scene after being closed since 1984, and its current shell looks a lot better than the old...."

"Rich in history, "The Lobster" stands as a tribute to the family that built its reputation. Established as a Lobster Shack in 1923, the remaining original structure within the foundation and walls of the main entrance and footprint still stand a..."

"With a sweeping terrace and stellar views of both the Pacific and the Pier, the Lobster could serve so-so food and it would still be packed to the gills. Luckily, Allyson Thurber (from the venerable Water Grill) reinvigorated a not-so-challenging menu wit..."

"The view here is gorgeous - no, like stupidly gorgeous: a 180 degree view of the ocean. Go with a good friend on a Sunday afternoon, share the lobster, and indulge in a glass of white wine...."

"From the outside, the Lobster has always looked like a tiny room fronted in white just at the entrance to the Santa Monica Pier. The smallish bar is in this front area, with choice bar-style seating on the small outdoor patio that looks out across at the..."
