The Restaurant at Shutters on the Beach

"1 Pico is the hotels' fine dining restaurant, which is awash in nautical themes and serves modern American fare"

"The in-house beach cafe is charming and tasty, and the chichi One Pico restaurant draws rave reviews"

"A known celebrity hangout, Shutters on the Beach has an atmosphere of formal opulence, with expensive artwork in its lobby and restaurants, luxe features, and rooms that belong in a billionaire's beach house"

"But there’s real luxury here, too: The on-site spa offers organic body treatments by Red Flower and facials by Omorovicza, and the nautically themed One Pico restaurant serves exceptional seafood dishes that reflect the oceanside vibes and coastal California produce"

"in the evening, sip an aperitif in the lobby's piano bar before sampling the New American cuisine at One Pico restaurant"

""New England" "charm" comes to Santa Monica by way of this "luxurious, but not pretentious" "romantic" retreat just "steps" from the sand with "yummy views", "spot-on" service and "elegant", "wonderfully appointed" rooms; the restaurant fare is "excellent", the lobby bar "perfect for people-watching" and the spa among the "best" in town, so though it's a "splurge unless you're a Hollywood celeb", aficionados maintain the "experience justifies the price tag"

"The two restaurants—one actually on the beach, the other overlooking it—serve fresh, local cuisine amid atmospheres so welcoming and calm that it’s tempting to keep ordering just to stay longer"

"Step out of your chic cocoon and you’ll have the chance to spot starlets having low key lunches at One Pico, the market-driven restaurant with a cozy fireplace and blue-chip views"

"Breezy, beach-chic rooms and suites, two highly regarded restaurants and a convivial cocktail lounge are all just steps from the sand"
