With the Santa Monica Farmers Market just down the road, executive chef Jason Prendergast serves a locally-sourced, ingredient-driven menu. There are handmade pastas, inspired by the chef’s Italian grandmothers, and large shareable plates, like dry-aged steaks.

Coast restaurant’s view is a picture perfect look towards the Pacific Ocean, California blue sky, and palm trees. The restaurant overlooks the bike path right from Shutters On The Beach and is a nine minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier. Customers might be dressed up or don casual shorts while ordering the seafood-heavy menu, with cioppino, fish and chips, or a selection from the raw bar.

Think of Viale dei Romani as a modern day trattoria dreamed up by Casey Lane and located inside the LA Peer Hotel. The coastal-driven menu highlights wood-fired seafood, raw fish preparations, a rabbit sausage-and-fennel pizza, and Lane’s coveted “100 layer” lasagna.

Some of LA’s freshest produce is on the menu at 1 Kitchen. The West Hollywood restaurant maintains a 2,000 square foot organic garden and beehive, so ingredients for one of its eleven salads was likely harvested on-site. Diners can watch dishes like the lobster and squid ink linguine or the lamb shank with farro and stone fruit prepared in the open kitchen, which is stationed inside the 1 Hotel on the Sunset Strip.

The Magic Castle

It’s frustrating getting into The Magic Castle. Members are allowed with guests, but technically, it’s impossible to book a reservation and just show up. Unless you’re registered as a guest at the Magic Castle Hotel. So book a room, walk over to the 110-year-old venue, and order from chef Jason Fullilove’s recently updated menu.

Jane Q

Centrally located to just about everything in Hollywood, Jane Q could be the ideal place to spend an entire day. The upstairs bar and lounge area are a vibe, but so is the cozy charm of Jane Q. It’s full of natural bright light, with easy dishes like flatbreads, pizzas, salads, and herb roasted chicken with green harissa.

Hotel Figueroa’s Breva went in an entirely new direction this summer, where chef Casey Lane took a modern American approach. Try the fig-style spinach dip, or the 32-ounce tomahawk steak with a truffle pomme puree, and braised cipollini onions topped with Béarnaise.

NoMad

There’s no such thing as a bad table at the NoMad, which is set inside the gorgeous Giannini Building on the corner of Seventh and Olive Street. Start with an expertly made cocktail at the bar and settle in for sea urchin pasta, roasted duck breast, or a very fancy hot dog.

Firehouse

The Arts District’s Firehouse opened big, with splashy photos in Vogue and lots of positive write-ups for its rooms and former Eleven Madison Park and NoMad chef Ashley Abodeely. Now the place has mellowed out into an easygoing hotel staple, with nods to comfort food across the menu and a stylish bar that pulls in the neighborhood office workers and loft dwellers. Stop through on Sundays for rotating barbecue foods and a hang near the fire pit.
