If you are looking for one of the best seafood restaurants in Santa Monica, CA, then this is your food video! Rockstar Eater takes you on a LA food tour of The Lobster, which is a famous lobster house next to the Santa Monica Pier. This brand has been around since 1923, making it a 101-year-old establishment.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of its expansion to 2-story seating. The California spiny lobster is now in season, which makes it the perfect time to visit this restaurant. However, you can also find Maine lobster, or perhaps the Mix Grill which is the surf n turf of both lobster and steak. This restaurant also has amazing live sea urchin and east coast oysters, along with other great fine dining foods by Chef Govind Armstrong (Top Chef judge).

There are many great reasons to eat at The Lobster. Not only is the food great, but you also get the best view of Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Beach, and Pacific Ocean. Plus, there is all-day happy hour on Friday.
