1 Pico

"From its perch at the ritzy Shutters on the Beach resort, 1 Pico offers some of the most elegant ocean views on the West Coast. The menu is meant to please a wide range of palates and uses top-grade ingredients and simple grilled preparations. Blistered whole blue prawns, scallop crudo with citrus olive oil, and lobster spaghetti should appeal to seafood lovers, while the terrific grilled wagyu New York strip sourced from a regenerative ranch should satisfy meat aficionados. Throw in the supreme level of service, and 1 Pico is a reliable weekend charmer for tourists and locals alike." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang

"1 Pico is seasonal, market-based hotel dining at its LA best. Located as close as one can get to the sand without actually being on it, this is the spot for kid-friendly brunch with a Benedict and omelet bar, or a casual patio dinner with lobster spaghetti, grilled wagyu New York strip, and an extensive cocktail menu." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"Chef Sean Runyon brings a wealth of experience in luxe hotel venues and occasionally splurges on high-end ingredients like this wild-caught bluefin toro that the kitchen sears perfectly over a wood grill. A little squeeze of lemon was the ideal foil for the rich fish, which melted in our mouths from its layered fat." - Eater Staff

"A meal at 1 Pico comes with the best element of staying at Shutters on the Beach: the view. You know where the sidewalk ends and the sand begins? That’s where you’re sitting. Or rather one floor up in the breezy, wood-beamed dining room. And judging from the hamachi tartare, squid-ink pasta, and simply, beautifully prepared market fish, chef David Almany designed the menu with the scenery in mind. "
