Dessert was good but everything took a very long time to come. Atmosphere was very tacky and there was imo some pretty ugly art on the wall. Pasta was so salty it felt weird on my tongue and tasted like dish soap. Took the Halibut down in 3 bites, it was $50. Obscenely overpriced for the most mediocre food. Over $600 for me and my family. To be fair, our waiter was very nice and another waiter gave us a mashed potato’s on the house. Don’t go here! There are some awesome taco places in this area for 2.50 a taco. And other Italian places like Bruno’s which are family owned and inexpensive. This restaurant is neither quantity or quality.

Fantastic, and even better than expected, experience. First, the location is wonderful, right on the beach. Second the food was really good. I had their scallops. Seared and crispy on the outside, and so moist in the middle, and my wife their seabass, also really well cooked. Simply grilled, and medium cooked. For desert we shared their cheese platter and the tapioca. Icing on the cake ,.. Goldie Hawn was dining with a friend at the table next to us. Good night

Perfect date night. Arrived for our reservation at 6 pm to an almost empty house. Table right next to the window with an ocean view. It took a while for our waiter to come take our order, but when the food finally came, it was delicious. Our waiter was quite eccentric - he was friendly and gave great recommendations but would leave quickly after checking in on us. And a few times he even came by and just dropped something off without saying anything. He's a funny guy, and we grew to love him. His recommendation for the grilled prawns appetizer was amazing. The sea urchin pasta had a nice flavor of the sea - not the best uni I've had but it went well with the pasta. The halibut smelled amazing and went well with the peas and artichoke and lightly grilled onion - not terribly flavorful but i

A friend extended an invitation to dine at 1Pico, the restaurant located within the Shutters on the Beach hotel. I had not visited the hotel since prior to the onset of the pandemic. The aesthetic details, both within the hotel and the courtyard outside, were meticulously decorated. The company was exceptional, featuring a beautifully decorated dining table and restaurant within the hotel. This setting provided an ideal ambiance for savoring a divine wine pairing with dinner at 1Pico. The Philippe Bouzereau Wine Dinner was an unforgettable experience that I intend to invite friends and business clients to in the future. I had the pleasure of meeting the hotel manager, Christophe, and Mary, who hosted the evening. They shared their extensive knowledge about the wines from Philippe and the c

Shutters is a very special hotel in Santa Monica. It's one of the few luxury ocean front hotel experiences around and their restaurants have the most incredible views. This is why you go here - the food maybe not so much... at least not at the price point. I have the luxury of eating at some of the best restaurants in LA, so my bar is very high. Will the view give you goosebumps? Hell yes! Will you have a nice special dining experience? Most likely. Will the food blow your mind? Maybe not. We had a business dinner here the other night, I have to say I left, not so impressed. It's expensive but the food just doesn't hit the mark for me. What we ordered: Appetizers: Crispy Wrapped Summer Squash, Blue Crab Tartine, Grilled Blue Prawns - the winner here was the prawns, the biggest loser aka
